I've been a fan since 1988ish. Maybe a little before that. I'm a die hard even when a month goes by and I don't post here I'm still watching. I've taken breaks over the years. After the invasion angle lost steam I faded away for a few years actually. Missed angle, Eddie, Rey, Benoit and Lesnar at the top but I'm ok with that. That's the only significant gap I can remember. Luckily wi YouTube and streaming services I feel I haven't missed anything of significance ever. I started at the height of wrestling and have lived thru the highs and lowest lows.

I don't get uber emotional and argue like other guys here....I tend to think I'm a smart fan who doesn't need to force my opinions on others but rather do more detailed threads where discussions can have points and launching pads....rather than debate scenarios that will likely or already never happened.....

I think I have transcended mere rasslin fandom and am now a rasslin expert of the business of seriousness. Perhaps I am more than a mere mortal. I now need to find Palaestra.

Was this triggered by the death of rasslin?

Rasslin died last week RIP. But now we can usher in a new epoch guided by the timeless wisdom of fandango.

Fandango is WWE's make it or break it point.

I think I'm in too deep at this rate when it comes to wrestling, just have to stop myself from being to cynical about it.

Well, I must be a faggot gay then! I do find Kenta quite cute...

careful, youll offend the sensitive closeted homofags here

dead
fucking
serious

In all seriousness. I catch Raw, Smackdown and Impact online coz I don't have Foxtel (Australia). I have however learnt a valuable lesson; if you didn't grow up watching wrestling you won't like it. I have tried to break down the whole business to adult friends and they won't, understandably, get it.

So yeh I only take my rasslin seriously if there is someone else around I can talk kayfabe with. I'm over trying to explain what a tv show is to other people.

This is th best thread ever in the history of here.

This is where we finally talked some good ol fashion rasslin

Medium well.

'Bout an 8.7/10

Let's see here, a bunch of oiled up guys touching each other... XD

I think I take my rasslin even more serious today. Like I'm gonna tape Smackdown on Thursday night on UPN.

I hope you like those two episodes of White Collar. :rofl:

Yes it is 9/10

fucking serious

i take it very serious

just for the record

We all should take it seriously or what's the point of posting at a rasslin forum?

Might as well smear poo all over your face if you don't take it seriously. Elbow Drop, mom yelling at me to ERAG after dinner/10

The Wrestling Forum needs to be changed to the Rasslin Forum. We need to petition AAA.

How about the USA #1 rasslin forum presented by Shisen Kopf? I think as forum champion,or whatever it's called that I'm gonna win, that it's a great idea. Wooooo!

I've wondered similar stuff like how many wrestlers countered a chokeslam with a triangle choke or has any countered a Pedigree with a jacknife pin. And countering a suplex with a cradle, I've seen that in a few overseas matches. And the triangle choke thing I've seen in a couple of indy matches.


As for how much I watch, I've been watching RAW and Smackdown since Survivor Series 99 and took a break in 2008 when it suffered creatively. Watched casualy for a year before watching a full RAW after Summerslam this year and now I'm digging it. But I rarely catch Smackdown, 3 hrs. is enough for me.

Is John Cena still THE CHAMP?

I think so.

2015 check in. I think I take my rasslin pretty serious these days but not as super serious as I did in 2012.

I've bumped up my level of seriousness from SRS BSNSS to "Wrasslin' is super-duper über cereal, OK?!"

From about 8.7 - about 9.25/10 over the past 2 years.

Serious enough to rub one out whenever I watch.

I am a hardcore fan, at least I was when I had satellite television. Truthfully, I hate having to read results because the opinion of the reporter can at times cloud my judgement on the matches before and sometimes after I see them on Youtube, but the anxious fan in me keeps me from waiting to know regardless. There were several instances where the matches and skits were far better to me than what the reporters were painting them to be. All things considering, I am a fan enough to bitch when the show really isn't fulfilling my expectations and piss myself when they exceed them. Lord, I'm pathetic....

even more serious than ever. Wooooo rasslin!

Going to Rasslemania so I'm super serious about rasslin again.

I watch RAW, Smackdown and NXT every week and every PPV. Traveled to the other end of the country to watch the UK Title Tournament and watch local indy shows as well.

But at the same time I don't watch TNA or any of the other US indies, mostly due to lack of coverage in the UK combined with a lack of time.

So reasonably seriously I would guess.

One end of the UK to the other end is what? 100 miles?!

I regularly drive 300 miles for work. Thank goodness texting and driving is still legal here.

Virtually everything i loved about wrestling is gone. So about 2% serious. Even puro has been driven into the ground

I like a good underdog still. I really enjoyed Daniel Bryan's title chase years back.

I like a good underdog story too. Like even though Kevin Owens is mentally retarded and fat he still became Champion of the Universe

It was a 450 mile/9 hour round trip.

It's not that far, but traveling that far North also involves going back in time 30 years.

6/10 on the serious scale
