Macho ManDEFTLEFTHAND wrote: »What's your favourite entrance theme of all time?
Gonna go with Stone Cold - as nothing eliced's (sp?) such a pop as the iconic glass shattering!MitchKoobski wrote: »Was james_bond taken or is your name graham?
The name is indeed Grahamjaykhunter wrote: »What got you into Pro Wrestling in the first place?
The Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Stone cold Triangle around 96/97 - just amazing story telling and with the various factions (not austin obviously) there was so many different variation that could happen - just must watch tv at the time for me!jaykhunter wrote: »What keeps you interested in it?
Honestly? I don't know -I just find it fun, it still entertains me and let's be honest, that's all that matters!jaykhunter wrote: »How did you come across the PW forum on Boards?
I was friends with Orestes outside of boards and was supposed to look at a thread he started in Stand up forum and accidentily went to his boards profile and saw "currently viewing pro wrestling"
Then I popped in and once it calmed down (it was a sh!t storm back then) I became (well I would like to see myself as) a regular - and never looked back!jaykhunter wrote: »What keeps you coming back to the forum?
By far the most laid back and non hostile forum on boards - everyone here is bang on, no real sniping, you don't have to worry about what you say - just an all round good atmosphere!jaykhunter wrote: »What other big interest do you have outside of Pro Wrestling?
Massive music fan - I like everything from Pe'er Gynt to Metallica, and am always looking for the bestsound quality eyc - but of an obsession but I just love music!
That and stand up comedy - I did comedy for years but quit when the Irish scene started making me dislike comedy as a whole! Still dip my toe in the water by going to gigs (both famous and irish scene) and this year marks the 4th year I have run the boards xmas comedy gig for the SSF [BANG! BANG!]jaykhunter wrote: »What wrestler/story/moment do you feel had the greatest impact on you as a fan?
Easily the screwjob - everything just felt like properly must see tv - no one knew wtf was going on, the conversations were all about it - it launched the attitude era and the monday night wars got stronger - it was back when wrestling was cool!Who's your favourite Power Ranger?
Always liked tommy - Green/White ranger with a face turn that The Rock would have been proud of!What is your favourite sporting moment?
Man Utd winning the treble in 99 - was unreal, especially when it could have gone from 3 to 0 if 30 seconds of football had gone differently (we only beat Arsenal in the league by 1 point, Arsenal fa cup semi final could have gone either way and we all know about the bayern munich CL Final)Ever marked out as a result of something sent to you by WWE through your job?
Actually probably the belt for the boards gig - totally unexpected, just blew my mind how generous they were!
Well that.....and the email with all the details of the Wrestlemania 28 Trip!Ever hit a mate with a random wrestling move and is there a story behind it?
When we were kids I was sitting on a wall on my road with a mate of mine talking to these girls (trying to be cool.....failing but damnit we tried). My mate pushed me off the wall (it was only 3 foot dont worry) so I chased him to the green and planted him with a DDT!!
Good times!

Home and Away all the way! Even if it is one of the sh!ttest shows in existance and I hate everyone on it - I used to religiously watch the damn thing!
Don't lie - you are all singing the theme song now!!MitchKoobski wrote: »Oasis or Blur?
Blur - Never liked the hype surrounding Oasis - One brilliant album does not "legends" make!Bounty Hunter wrote: »As I asked last time: Fight club - If you could fight anyone, who would you fight?
I'd love to put my fist through Chris Browns face - Woman Beating ScumbagBounty Hunter wrote: »How does someone get your job?
Do a business and management degree for 4 years, Apply for every f*cking job going, then do an amazing presentation to make it seem like you know exactly what you are talking about (when you don't) and be confident.
As for the WWE side of things, you wait for one of your collegues to f*ck up with them (called superstars "characters") then step in on a phone call showing your WWE knowledge, and have everything up to date (john cenas colours etc) - let them see you are a fan and treat the "brand" with respect and you will be the head of everything WWE related!Bounty Hunter wrote: »If you could play a manager type role with any wrestler who would that be?
I would love to be the Bobby Heenan Role for Ziggler - all he needs is a proper mouth piece (Vickie wasn't doing it for him!) and someone to build him like the (literal) superstar that he is - fire a rocket under his ass and watch him make money! 0 -

The wise ass who takes no sh!t off anyone - Heel or face I would rip the piss out of everyone.
First feud - Damien Sandow - the 2 gimmicks would just work off each other I htink!Mick Murdock wrote: »I'm new here..
What exactly is your job and what do you do for WWE?
Welcome to PW boards!!
I work in marketing for a mobile services company (we shell sh!t to mobiles)
As part of this we have the exclusive contract with WWE to promote and sell WWE content (videos, wallpapers, ringtones, voicetones) in Ireland, UK and Spain! I run all of this as well as the sole admin of the WWE Mobile UK & Ireland Facebook Page!
I am the first point of contact with everything WWE related - selling content, promoting it, running competitions, promoting WWE ppv's , fan facebook interaction - that's all me!0 -

-
If you could have a tag team with any currently active wrestler, who would it be?
hmmmm probably Danny Bryan - as theres no one more over with the exception of the 10 year strong fruity pebble!
connemara man wrote: »whats your favorite finisher?
gotta be the stunner - can come out of no where and like his entrance - results in a massive pop!0 -

eh i dunno wrote: »How many wwe dvds do you own? Favourite main event?
Not many actually (comparitively speaking) about 6 in total!
Mian event? from a ppv? Austin vs Rock WM 15!chopperbyrne wrote: »Horsemen or the Smackdown Six?
Horsemen definitely!
Cheese and onionThe Showstopper wrote: »Cheese and Onion or Salt and Vinegar?The Showstopper wrote: »Favourite TV show?
Dexter or Frasier!Pete Campbell wrote: »Are you noticing benefits from intermittent fasting?
Yes actually - 3 weeks in and 6 lbs down and 2% body fat gone!Machismo Fan wrote: »Favourite Batman - Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, Bale or West?
I loved the new ones so I am gonna say Bale! But for me the real batman is and always will be Kevin Conroy (animated Series)
And in the same light I think Mark Hamill is the best Joker there has ever been (yes including heath!)What in the blue hell is intermittent fasting?
Basically schedualed eating - I am doing 16/8 which means I fast for 16 hours then I have an 8 hour Eating window in which I have my three solid meals! Body works on all the food at once - has a better way of dealing with it and recovers better in the 16 hours! so my day is like this
6:30 get up
6:45 cup of black coffee
8:30 in work
11 am - first meal of the day
1pm - lunch
5/6pm - dinner
7pm - fast
I actually find it quite easty tbh - I have lost the weight above with f*ck all exercise so once I get on that It will definitely be of advantage!Any plans for the future?
None immediately - Basically take every day as it comes, enjoy life one step at a time!Masterchef or master mind?
Mastermind - if for nothing else it reminds me of the 2 ronnies sketch - which is comedic perfection!Are you from dublin? You don't have a dublin vibe off you if you do.
I am yeah - Born and bred - I am from D4North (aka Malahide) so that may be why the Dub vibe isn't quite there!Ever meet a big name wrestler, if so what was the best/funniest encounter?
Met quite a few actually working in the point - the 2 stories i tell people are:
- Chris Benoit holding the door open for me, thought to myself "he's a nice fella" .....how wrong I was
- Seeing undertaker in the green room drinking a can of coke (making it look like one of those mini fun size cans), said hi to us - and then the 6ft 72 brick sh!t house of a collegue who I was showing around getting utterly star struck - I mean like a giddy one direction fan - was brilliant!You're having a meal, you ask for coke but they say they only have pepsi, what do you do?
Ask for Diet pepsi - they don't have that - Water! (Full pepsi is MUCK)The world is ending in a week, what do you do for the week?
Run around singing afro cirus at everyone - all while having the mother of all benders (nothing off limits - lets wreck the place style)Your ultimate karaoke song and/or song you burst into when drunk?
Afro Circus
Or most 80's power ballads!0 -

Why thank you!What cartoons did you watch as a kid He-Man, Thundercats, Turtles, Batman, TinTin, X-men or Spiderman perhaps?
Alot of those ones alright - not thundercats though, and tin tin I only watched now and again!
I was obsessed with Johnny Bravo - I still am actually the guy was such a legend and still is proper laugh out loud tv!montyrebel wrote: »what do you enjoy to do on your time off from work / holidays, nothing wrestling related
I love going to the cinema, Great way to relax and the cineworld unlimited card is brilliant! Will be taking up tag rugby soon so that should be fun! That and going to gigs and socialising! (I'm popular me!!
