There's so many over the years, from a combination of posting and lurking depending on the era. SomethingAwful as a whole has been part of my life for almost 20 years, since I was a young teenager, and it's still my go-to for a lot of things (at times just a very good aggregator of news from elsewhere so I don't have to suffer through twitter or whatever). I'm sure I'll forget a lot. -Discovering that goon college roommates were, like me, wrestling fans in their childhood led to us posting regularly in Wrestlehut, which ultimately revitalized my interest in wrestling and also brought us closer together. If it wasn't for this, I doubt I'd be into wrestling, and I wouldn't have explored RoH, NJPW, AEW, all of it. The IRL friendships didn't last, but the fun I had IRL was very intertwined with this goofy subforum about this stupid interest on this dead forum  -The Randy Orton Man-Love Locker Room. It doesn't age well, but "Hoes, Pose, RKOs", "Release the Doves" the edit of Orton making GBS threads in a bag as he delivers a flying RKO, the fact that goon merchandise was made to commemorate it, all of that was fun. I'm not proud of some of the messages it all conveys in retrospect, but there's no denying it was a lot of fun. I see that the dove PPV poster of Orton has already been posted, and the collective  about it is a fond memory as well.-Banjo and his diehard love of Cena, the voice of the majority wrestling fan in a time where everyone was a smark. -Royal Rumble teams, which are just a fun idea for a fun gimmick for a fun sport Who doesn't love cheering their idiot jobber every time he lands a chop or avoids an elimination, instead of just waiting for the inevitable final 4/3/2?-The mark-out recording of Cena's surprise return at the Rumble, at a time where Cena was  to just about everyone.-Jerusalem being the best source of .gifs for wrestling for a long-rear end time. - Every weird rear end post that got meme'd. The horny guy who probably meant he wanted to have a lot of anal with Mickie James but the weird phrasing and grossness of it turned into him wanting to live inside her rear end (like the hoth creature in Star Wars?). It's canon now  . The guy having a meltdown about gamergate. The guy whose brain fell out his nose who posted gibberish about dave meltzer and dean ambrose. Jake the Sanem. Paradol Ex's post about Benoit.-The brief Alexa Bliss crew, which is connected to: -The Smackdown live threads, when smackdown suddenly became the clear A-show. Connected to: -The talking smack fans, where a bunch of us released just how badly WWE was holding back wrestlers on the mic. We knew good wrestlers were hamstrung by WWE in the ring, but suddenly it turned out that so many of them were great talkers (and poo poo-talkers, like Baron Corbin). Funny interviews, Daniel Bryan not giving a gently caress, Tout, John Cena no-selling Nikki Bella getting assaulted, AJ is a flat-earther and Daniel Bryan won't accept it, Santa Rhyno is drunk and weird and Renee continues her trend of being grossed out by Rhyno in general. All of this was 10x more fun posting with friends. -The Smackdown collage, where Abroham Lincoln condensed the A show into the A image. -Naito fans (like me) distressed when he lost to Okada at Wrestle Kingdom, and the joy of Okada fans at our expense. -Naito fans ecstatic when he finally won the title and had two belts, only to lose to Naito haters AGAIN as his moment was ruined by the dastardly KENTA. I'm sure there's more, I haven't even gotten to AEW. But that's a lot already. Thank you, wrestlegoons, for making the only worthwhile wrestle forum on the internet.

For some reason, Charlotte having a nanny and Normal Smiley actually does most of the training are the two Rovert-isms I remember.

When I'm on this forum, the name Trevor is tied to rovert because my brain is stupid. So anytime I see a Trevor Dame tweet posted I have read his name backwards as e-mad rovert and laugh inside because it's just too perfect.

Jerusalem posted:Sorry to be that jerk who posts a favorite memory about something they did themselves, but man I loved doing those Anatomy of an Angle/MYSTERY BOX/Puro-Palooza watch-along threads and it sucked that my life got too busy for me to really be able to keep doing them. Especially since the video editing I did on them was pretty loving amateurish and the videohosts at the time sucked and I didn't back any of the videos up, and I could probably do a much better job on that type of thing nowadays. I loved doing those as well. I was broke and unemployed so I started to do WCW Wednesday Nitro. More of a "best of" series than a chronological order thing. Eventually I did a couple of compilation videos and the Anatomy of an Angle for Punk/Hardy. Doing those kept me sane when I was looking for work. Those compilation videos got more thread pages than most PPVs now. I think I still have the Punk/Hardy videos somewhere

probably my favorite memories are from when i feuded with niennunb and finally hit the point of irony poisoning. but it wasn't the toxic bigoted hateful behavior kind of poisoning that fyads would get. it was wrapping myself up into the character of posting disdain for being wronged that i truly cared even though there was nothing to care about. i created grievances and, if only for a moment, grieved. i whooped my own rear end. Thank you all

Sandman McMahon posted:I enjoyed the time Rovert told everyone they’d feel really bad when we found out the real reason Arn Anderson was fired. I like when the reason Arn was suspended finally came out, Rovert tried to backtrack and claim that he never said that.

I forgot about the hulk hogan raft, which I initially wasn't following until I got wind that two goons had entered a bidding war with each other unwittingly and were going to go into debt trying to secure the raft from their goonpal. I really should read the PYF SA Sagas thread before this site implodes, I bet every subforum has some great self-contained stories. Or maybe people should make equivalent threads in each subforum and we can travel as tourists to laugh about the unknown treasures hidden in each community

I haven't posted here or really paid attention to wrestling in like a decade, but I have a lot of fond memories of sitting up to 5am UK time liveposting with people in here. Does anyone still have the stickfigure animations of finishing moves we made? or that Big Daddy I, II, III, IV V picture from the SciFi ECW era? for some reason those are the things that stick in my head the most.
