    About Me: Been a wrestling fan since 1986, primarily WWE. Lived through Hulkamania, Rock and Wrestling, the WWF's golden age in the 80s, the NWA turning into WCW, ECW, the Monday Night Wars, the Attitude Era, the death of WCW, the Invasion, the Brand Extension, TNA, and where we're at now, the modern era. Seen it all, still love it. Using the title OUR so-called SPORT, I've had 1) a cable access TV show about wrestling, 2) an email satirical newsletter about wrestling, 3) a website satirizing wrestling, and now I just watch it for fun and amusement. Been to dozens of dozens of live events: WWF/WWE, ECW, ROH, local indy shows. Attended PPVs: Royal Rumble 2003, 2006, Survivor Series 1993, 2002, Summerslam 2006, King of the Ring 2000, Backlash 1999, maybe others I'm forgetting, and finally, WrestleMania 24. See you in Houston for 25. When WWE isn't on, I'm a screenwriter and filmmaker. Directing a WWE Film (a good one) one day would be kick.
    Favorite Show: Smackdown
    Favorite Superstar: The Undertaker. In the current WWE, Edge, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho. Legends: Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and dozens and dozens of others.
    Favorite Diva: Trish Stratus. Lita. The Hogan/Savage, Stone Cold/Rock of the Divas. The evolution of women's wrestling is the one thing that has impressed me the most in the last decade. Trish, Lita, Molly, Victoria, Jazz, Ivory, etc. lead the way. The Divas are the most underrated component of WWE in the ring. I hope they raid TNA of some of their Knockouts. Of the current Divas I like Maria, Melina, Beth Phoenix, Candice Michelle, Katie Lea Burchill and Mickie James, and Kelly Kelly too; I like her upside.
    Favorite WWE Moment: 4) Trish Stratus' final match against Lita at Unforgiven 2006 in Toronto. Perfection, sheer perfection. Trish beating Lita with the Sharpshooter, winning a record setting 7th Women's Title and tearfully bowing out a hero in front of her hometown crowd. The storybook ending we rarely in pro wrestling and it couldn't have been for a better person. 3) The Undertaker's run as a heel in 1999 when he was the Lord of Darkness. Kidnapping and trying to marry Stephanie, tagging with Big Show and leaving him during their matches, being the first to bail out of the ring when Stone Cold attacked the Ministry. 2)The summer of 2001 when Stone Cold Steve Austin was a heel, needed hugs from Vince, had the "Wind Beneath Our Ring" tribute from Stephanie McMahon and the Alliance, didn't want to eat Debra's cookies, and humiliated Tazz every week. This was the birth of "WHAT?" 1) What happened off the air at Ric Flair's farewell on the RAW after WrestleMania 24, which I was at live. The greatest moment I've ever seen in my life as a fan.
    Favorite WWE Pay-Per-View: WrestleMania
