NAME: Daniel
HOMESTATE/COUNTRY/HOMETOWN: I live in Melbourne, Australia. Love this city.
PROFESSION: I am a student who is about to finish College (high school) and go off to university for the next four years, for a degree in Business.
HISTORY AS A WRESTLING FAN: Started watching around 1997 off and on, and around 1999 became obsessed with wrestling. I was a massive WCW fan, and sometimes WWF/E fan. Today I mostly watch TNA, WWE and ROH.

Some of my interests are Sport, music and getting reject by women http://www.tnainside...tyle_emoticons/default/icon_razz.gif. I am a little obsessive with my sports. I love sports such as Football (both Australian and American), Soccer, Basketball, Cricket, bowling and Baseball. It isn't out of the ordinary for me to stay up until all hours of the night watching sports.

Music is also a big passion. I play guitar in a band (we're pretty shit lol, just for fun). However, I also love making music through beatboxing and freestyling. I have a rather odd tastes in music, as I love bands like Iron Maiden, Pantera, Megadeth, Metallica and Slayer, yet also love hair metal such as Motley Crue, Whitesnake and Twisted Sister, and also love rap and hip hop such as 2 Pac, Notorious B.I.G, The Game, T.I and Wu Tang. But it doesn't end there, because I also love chilled bands like The Police, and blues artists such as SRV, B.B King and Robert Johnson. Oh, and some trance, techno...and random pop songs from the '80's.

HISTORY AS A WRESTLING FAN: When i was little I flippin channels, i landed on WCW and Hollywood Hulk Hogan was coming out, with his Air Guitar and feather boa, and i thought he was the coolest person ever, so i began watching WCW Nitro and Thunder. This went on for a while but during a commercial break on Nitro i flipped channels and 4 channels down was WWF Raw is War, I saw Stone Cold Steve Austin for the 1st time and he was a badass. Than i saw the Rock, DX, Kane, the Undertaker and i eventually stopped watching WCW. I watched WWF religiously untill about 2004. Rock Left, Austin Left, and the show wasnt anything special.

I heard Angle left for TNA and thats when i started watching TNA and have been ever since.

History as a wrestling fan: I had a friend who was an avid wrestling fan, he would always talk about it with me and I didn't give a shit. One day, I came over and he was watching an episode of WWF RAW, this was near the end of the Attitude Era, just weeks before Vinnie Mac took over WCW. At first, I was pleading with him to change the channel, then...I actually gave it a chance, and from that day on, I was hooked. I was always a big WWF/E fan until 2006, I just couldn't take it anymore. I looked all over the internet for an alternative to "the E" and I found TNA Wrestling, I saw the AJ Styles/Daniels/Samoa Joe match from Unbreakable 05 on youtube, and thats when I fell in love with TNA. I still watch WWE, but if someone were to ask me what my favorite promotion is, I'd easily say TNA.

I used to be a huge Joe mark, but his new change in style has kind of turned me off. My two favorite wrestlers in the world right now are AJ Styles and Shawn Michaels. AJ will be exclusive on this list once HBK decides to retire

Hey, I'm from England, male, 20. Unemployed at the moment, got laid off from my job a few months ago so that's why I get to spend a lot of time on the internet. http://www.tnainside...tyle_emoticons/default/icon_razz.gif

Got into wrestling in about 1999, one of the first matches I remember seeing is Ken Shamrock vs The Rock on SmackDown!. Was into WWF/E for a good few years, got into TNA about 2 years ago. Watch iMPACT every week and every PPV, don't watch WWE at all anymore. After watching TNA I've realised how lame and boring WWE is, same matches every week. Cena / Orton, Triple H / Orton.

A little about me.

Homestate: Georgia

My wrestling history:
I have been watching wrestling since 1985 but didn't really get into until 1988. I started out watching the WWF(E) but ended up liking WCW more and I was very sad to see them go out of business. So continuted to watch the WWE because they were basically the only wrestling on TV.

In the summer of 2003 I discovered TNA and was hooked. In the summer of 2007 I decided to stop watching the WWE as a whole and I haven't really had any desire to watch any of their programming since.

More about me: I enjoy watching movies in my free time. I really like movie trailers which upload to my page on Youtube.

History As a Wrestling Fan: I begun watching Wrestling in early 2006. I was a HUGE WWE Mark, get this, three years ago I used to be like the WWE ten year old marks of today, Thinking that Cena was an amzing wrestler and hated heels because they were heels and liked faces because they were faces. The only heel I liked back then was Gregory Helms. In 2006 I attended my first ever House Show, WWE RAW SummerSlam Tour. I still think a bit about it today but not that much. In 2007 I orderd my first ever PPV. Summerslam 2007. In 2008 i begun to understand wrestling better. relizing that the blood, fueds,injuries and Script were fake. After WrestleMania 25 i quit watching WWE because of WM 25. (A) CM Punk winning Money in the Bank again was a joke. ( Santino winning miss WrestleMania was a disgrace to womens wrestling © Kid Rock got 10 minutes of TV Time and the miz and John Morriosn DIDN'T (D) HHH VS orton was the worst mania match ever. in that year i odred my first TNA PPV. Lockdown.

Intrest other than Wrestling: I like Australian Rules football. i go for Port Adelaide. I Like cricket and one day hope to play for Australia LOL.

The blood is real, fake blood is rarely used in pro wrestling. They make a small cut on their forhead with a razor usually concealed in the tape on their wrists. Also not all injuries are kayfabe some are legit.

Wrestling fan history.

I have been a wrestling fan since I could remember. The first wrestle show I could remember watch was wrestlemania 5 I was five years old at the time. It was my aunt and uncle who got me hooked to wrestle they would tape every ppv from the wwf - nwa/wcw. My favorite wrestler growing up was Dynamite kid and the Ultimate warrior. Even do I perfer wwf over nwa/wcw that time I started to starting like the other company more it was during the fued between sting and Cactus jack I became a die hard wcw fan. My favorite at that time time was sting, cactus jack and Stunning Stevie austin. During attitude the only time i would watch the wwf was when ether mankind (heal) and Stevie austin (heal) where wrestling once both Mick and steve turn face i was done with the e i would stell watch them but not as much. All my attention was in wcw. Once wcw when out of order I went back to become a the wwf which was a mistake. The love for wrestling was dieing inside of me because of some of stupid gimmicks the wwf was dieing like the kick my ass club. But it was not into I found tna wrestling that my love for wrestling came back. In 2005, I made a pack to stop supporting the e because of suicide ref angle I just had enough with them. In 2005 of November my Uncle just passed away from Cancer and I was channel surfing though my tv and I saw that tna ppv turning point was not really nothing nothing about the promotion I was blow away and Tna made me forget for three hours of pain i was feeling. See the day of the ppv my uncle was in hosptial dieing of cancel and lead some thing it help me forget about the pain with first 15 minuities i got the call he died and tna for three hours made me forget about the pain and always thank tna for that.

Of course, discussion boards would be pointless if everyone agreed with each other.

Welcome, to the new guys! Hope you stick around!

I hail from New York, 21 years old.
Here's my background in wrestling fandom. Started watching wrestling with my father the second I was born. From 1994-2004, I was hooked onto the WWF, ECW, and WCW like it was life support, obsessed when I was a little kid. I watched Superstars, World Wide, Raw, Nitro, Thunder, Smackdown, Heat, saturday Night, ECW on TNN everything, then I stopped in around 2004, it just got boring and uninteresting... Then in 2005, someone told me to watch the Ultimate X from Final Resolution, with Styles, Sabin and Williams... I thought it was amazing, something fresh, 3 young guys putting on a match that blew away everything i'd seen WWE put out the last 3 or so years... It didn't really bring my interest back into wrestling, though... in 2005, I watched One Night Stand, and again in 2006, and when the WWE was going to bring back ECW, I was excited, thinking, finally, something interesting! then that fizzled out and I lost all faith in the industry i loved as a little kid... Until I started paying a little more attention to TNA in 2008, it was like I was a kid again, some great wrestling, some interesting stories, and some of the icons I grew up watching in WWF and WCW. It was still just something I only watched in passing, then I went to a Smackdown/ECW event that sucked, and that left me feeling betrayed yet again by my childhood love; but now with the signing of Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff, and going Head-to-head with Monday Night Raw... There's finally something to get really excited about in this business, I know what i'll be watching January 4th.
