1.) What is professional wrestling to you? Answer this however you want! The combinations of matches, story and wrestlers. It is just like long running serialized television show to me, I tune in to watch my heroes fight the villains. I like to see personalities crashing, and when the magical moments happen I'm as glued to it as I am to anything 2.) How long have you been a fan? Was there any defining moment that turned you into someone who became a habitual viewer? Since 2006 leading into 2007. Wrestlemania 23 was my first Mania, the defining moment for me was after Cyber Sunday, I had watched before but sporadically (I remember the Foley/Flair Promo's leading up to Summerslam and Orton vs Hogan promo) and before then I had always known wrestling, I had played WWF Warzone on the PS1, I know Stone Cold and The Rock despite not having actually watched at all. Goldust was a favourite I knew Bret and Owen and the British Bulldog and Mankind. Anyway. The defining moment for me was after Cyber Sunday, the Bischoff-run Raw where he had Umaga vs Maria, and this was a total rehash of when they had Angle vs Maria in retrospect but again. This was this beast of a Samoan beating up this defenseless girl and then John Cena runs down and he kicks his rear end. I'm in... Highschool at this time, 16 years old. Cena cut a really engrossing promo for me because he had a good look and I liked the army theme of the camo shorts and all that, and he challenges K-Fed and- gently caress it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSFBd37IT9k there it is. And yeah, Jim Ross helped sell that poo poo like a million bucks. Especially since he doesn't try to play everything as super heroic and he sells everything going on. I even remembered wanting to watch December to Dismember because I had just gotten into it and was so enamoured... Now I'm more jaded, and am glad the first PPV I saw was Royal Rumble 2007 3.) Who was your first favorite wrestler? John Cena, and he's still a favourite. I mean technically Goldust but I wasn't a fan of wrestling he was just a video game character to me at that point. 4.) Have you ever fallen out of following this gay sport? If so, what time period was this? When did you get back into it - and what keeps you watching? Yes, after Benoit, it became hard to follow... I fall in and out of following it all the time. After the shield broke up this year I just read what happened and sort of did my own thing. 5.) What promotion was your favorite, alive or dead? What time period from that promotion did you like best? WWE 2006/2007. Right now NXT is what I love the most and NJPW after watching a bunch of Puro. 6.) What promotions do you consider your favorites today? What particular things about each one do you enjoy? WWE still, but not my FAVOURITE, NJPW and ROH are what I like the most. 7.) Who is your favorite wrestler today, and why? Tie between Cena, Bryan and Punk. I would have done anything to see the three of them have an elimination three way for the world title in the main event of Wrestlemania. As for why I like them, they enthrall me with Promo's, they work well in the ring even though as they were hurt I began to just wish they would go home and heal, like with Cena now. And they have that magnetic charisma. I could gladly load up a playlist of matches from the three and pretty much watcha 24 hour marathon and not get bored.
