I am a long time wrestling fan. Remember seeing my first match on television, JYD against some jobber. I remember thinking "WOW, this is so cool!" I have been hooked ever since.
Upon joining the OO forum, with a forum titled "the Towel" I have found new passion for wrestling. When writing the Towel, I felt disenchanted with wrestling, but through many people's defense of my sport, I loved it again. They turned on me.
The same people that invoked a fresh spirit of wrestling love in me, turned on me. I mentioned Hogan and the stars of the 80s, and they told me to "stop talking about that," "why was everything compared to then","forget the past" that is the one that got me. How do you forget the past?
Forget Hogan? Horseman? Giants? Studds? how do you forget Magnum T.A., Road Warriors, or Powers of Pain? The sport was not created in 1995, it was made in the 1800s. Evolution of the sport is not Evolution the wrestling faction. I hope to find a new home here, with intelligent fans.
Unfortunately, you left out the parts about being kicked off of the OO Forums numerous times, and the different name changes you adopted to get back on.
Oh, there's also the part where he posted a picture of a guy having sex with a disgustingly obese woman. He claims that he was just trying to "have fun." The image was uploaded from his hard drive. Sicko. He's got fatty porn.
Also, it's a bad idea to post links to threads like this from your "secret" forums, because then people can click on the referrals page (linked under the thread name of every page with referrals) and learn about your "secret" forum. (Hey, how come *I* don't have access to your "secret" forum?)

"Please stay over there" and "please come right back here and post again in this thread" aren't exactly equivalent statements. But maybe this is a last word contest? Go ahead.
The legend who coined the phrase "He's walking" I am at a loss for words.
I do not brag to say "I have been banned" from any web sites. I just point out how the tOOls over there hate people with different opinions or a sarcastic attitude.
As a long time fan of professional wrestling I am ashamed of it. As a wrestling fan you come to expect to live a double life. When a fan is around friends "wrestling is fake" is the comment that comes out quite often; when a fan is alone only passion for the programs are evident. The only true time a wrestling fan could come out of the closet was in the mid 90s,with the Monday night war, it was wrestling's version of east and west coast rap battles. It was a good time to be a fan. See my problem is I was a fan way before that, in the 1980s. I started watching wrestling in 1984/85. Living in Virginia the only real option was NWA, not bad option if I do say so myself. My first time viewing wrestling was not on TBS, but on a faint, snowy channel that barely came in called USA. The WWF, a hard thing to get at the time in my area of Virginia. It was like going to the circus, all the biggest, craziest, and out of control animals were there. An instant hook. Now seeing the WWF got me hooked and like a drug I needed to see more. Well, the WWF was not available much so the alternative NWA became the fix of choice. The animals were not as big, and not as colorful, but man did they put on a show. Average looking guys with southern speech patterns kicking butts and not caring who was upset by their actions. Magnum, Blanchard, Anderson, and Rhodes all guys that put more fear in a person then most average men. The passion these men had every Saturday morning was enough to make a young fan's eyes pop out of their head. The true feeling of not knowing what is going to happen next kept everyone on the edge of their seats. Sneak attacks, blood, bats, and run away cars, man that gets the blood flowing. The only way to see a title match was to go out to the arena live, and in living color! No title matches happened on television, and if they did a title was almost sure to change hands. The Midnights beat the Rock'n'Roll express on television, my bed broke from anger of jumping on it. Tully beat Ronnie for the television title, my bed broke from anger (to what is now the "Dusty finish" from jumping on it. The sport invoked passion, a passion I wish existed today. The wrestlers today do not seem to have the passion anymore. I would go on record and challenge any pro wrestler out there to show me that the sport still has passion. Today's wrestler is a user; user of drugs, alcohol, and body enhancements; that is not what I am talking about. Today's wrestler uses the sport to further their life in other ways not involving wrestling. The wrestlers of today want to be movie stars, TV actors, endorsement cartoons and anywhere but in the squared circle. These men today cannot make it in their chosen professions so they use the wrestling organizations to get where they want to go and leave, with no respect for this sport. Lets look at today's wrestler, one champion openly admits he doesn't have a passion for the sport and plans to be out of it in the next few years. The former champion, whom the industry has been centralized around is on a honeymoon with the bosses' daughter looking for work in Hollywood. The former head guy uses wrestling between movies, and has lost all knowledge of what made him so electrify in the first place that it is embarrassing when he steps in the ring. This is what the new fans get for a product, but none of them seem to see it. The new fans cheer when the Rock comes to the ring to disrespect this sport. The new fan excepts wrestler A against wrestler B every single week on television or a pay per view. The new fan is more of a puppet then Howdy Doody. How do the new fans except this garbage put on our plates every week, how do I put up with the garbage? Today there is a poll on an official web site about matches on a bloody new DVD that is being put out. It asks the fan to choose the match they want to see most. There are some real 70s 80s and 90s classics on the list, I will knock the matches because of a time frame. The fan of today is choosing the late 90s matches, a few choose a match from the 70s that just so happened to be featured by this company on their late night Saturday program, but the best ones were overlooked. Tully Blanchard, a real a-hole of a character and Magnum T.A, the what would have been in this sport have 5% of the vote, 5%? How is that possible? Today's fan make me sick because they do not respect history. History is what makes any sport great. Wrestling has a long and great history and these fans do not care. Well, I do not care about these fans, nor do I care about this sport any longer. So to wrestling I say good-bye. I ask Arnold Skakland to throw in my towel (to the new fan, I ask Linda McManhon to throw it) and end my reign prematurely.
That is what I thought then, now I am more into wrestling than ever.
