What is the secret to personal happiness?

Good friends, good banter and a good place to play some video games.

Who is the best wrestler in the world?

Personally, I have to go with Daniel Bryan. I'd have loved to have seen a match with him, Kurt Angle and Benoit.

Who is the best wrestler ever?

Kane :pac:

Whats the last time you had a proper LOL?

Watching Ted, I love that movie and I've seen it about 5 times already.

Tell us a funny drunken story?

One time in Galway I was out drinking with a few friends, and when we were walking home, there was some guys yelling and knocking over bags of rubbish. In retaliation, we started screaming and then walked over and casually straightened everything up again. It's the best one I can think of at the moment :P

If vince Mc called you to be a superstar what would your gimmick be and who would you feud against first?

I'd be the son of Kane, and I'd hope people wouldn't notice an Irish accent. I'd feud with someone like Cesaro, cause it seems like he'd be good enough to work with.

What is your favourite finisher?

Either the Tombstone Piledriver, Sweet Chin Music or the simple chokeslam.

Wrestling: Fun or Serious business?

Fun, it shouldn't be taken too seriously I think.

What's your guilty pleasure as far as wrestling is concerned?

Probably being a fan of Evan Bourne, even though he does kinda screw up when it comes to the wellness stuff.

Your ultimate karaoke song and/or song you burst into when drunk?

Drunken Lullabies by Flogging Molly.

What debut/run has disappointed the most after hearing so much about them or seeing promos?
Like I said when asking the others this question, Preferably not one of the WCW/ECW guys in the Invasion since they were pretty much fubar in comparison to what they were in their previous companies.

I kinda want to say Tensai, but that would mean I had hopes for his return/debut.

What WWE star do you think doesn't deserve the push they're getting and who do you think has a poor gimmick?

Del Rio. I don't like the guy, and don't think he should be a 2 time WWE champion. He's not a bad wrestler really, I just find him boring. Best part about him for me is Ricardo.

Best WWE game?

I haven't played WWE 12 or 13, so I can't comment on those. I have a bit of a soft spot for "Here Comes the Pain", but overall I'll go with Smackdown! v Raw 2005, when I started getting more into wrestling again, and that helped.

What got you into Pro Wrestling in the first place?

My cousins were big fans of The Rock and Stone Cold, and wrestling started getting big in my school, with students doing the DX crotch chops and the like

What keeps you interested in it?

I just generally find it interesting. The storylines may not be as great as they were in the attitude era, but I still find it enjoyable.

How did you come across the PW forum on Boards?

I started off on the Rock and Metal forum, and then gradually started looking around for other forums of interest, and here I am!

What keeps you coming back to the forum?

The banter mainly. It's all good fun, plus it's a good spot to find out news that I may miss otherwise thanks to folks like Rovert.

What other big interest do you have outside of Pro Wrestling?

Pokemon, gaming, music and reading would be a big part of my interests.

What wrestler/story/moment do you feel had the greatest impact on you as a fan?

The Invasion angle, and the lead up to it, where WWE bought out WCW and ECW. I had been a fan of WCW, and probably watched more of it than WWE cause I had easier access to it, and the fact that WWE had the power to do that impressed me at that age.

Any plans for the future?

Doing a course in GMIT in Software development, and then see if I can possibly get somewhere in the games development world somewhere down the line.

Masterchef or master mind?

Master mind, I never went in for the fancy cooking stuff. Once I can make myself a simple meal, I'm happy!

Ever meet a big name wrestler, if so what was the best/funniest encounter?

Sadly, no

You're having a meal, you ask for coke but they say they only have pepsi, what do you do?

Get a glass of milk. I hate the taste of pepsi.

The world is ending in a week, what do you do for the week?

Find my dad, kick him in the nads as hard as possible, and then just go out and have as much fun as possible with the time I have left.

Got a tattoo? If yes, whats the story behind it? If not would you ever get one?

I have 4, one relating to the band Type O Negative after their lead singer died. Myself and one of my friends both got one about Type O. I also have 3 pokemon on my leg, because I've loved pokemon ever since I was a kid and it got me through the sh*thole that was my school.

The Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile
Jurassic Park 1
The first Pokemon movie
V For Vendetta

Are you a soccer fan?Who do you support?

I don't follow it as much, but when I did I was a Man Utd fan. I started supporting them out of spite, my dad constantly tried to get me to support Arsenal :P

Ever play hurling?

Not in years, it was never really a big thing here.

John Deere or Massy?

Massy, I learned to drive a tractor in one of them.

Petrol or Deisel?

Diesel

Bag of chips and a batter sausage or steak with all the trimmings?

Steak, easy. Rare too, I'm not a fan of medium, and well done is just destroying it.

Pete Campbell wrote: »

Good answers. The fact you support Utd and can drive a tractor elevates you to Main Event status in my eyes. :pac:

Where is "here?"

Longford. We aren't known for being a stronghold of football either, but it'd get more focus than hurling.

Any regrets in life thus far?

A few, but nothing that I haven't worked to right.

CastorTroy wrote: »

Who would you push and how would you push them?

Evan Bourne, by bringing back the Cruiserweight title. There's a fair few people in the WWE under the weight limit, and it'd be a chance for a few more high-flying matches.

Who that has left WWE would you a)like to see back and b)think will be back

Jericho, I fully expect him to be back down the line too.

Who from another promotion that you're aware of would you like to see in WWE?

There is a few I'd like, but I'd be kind of afraid that they'd get lost in the WWE, as can happen quite a bit. I do wonder if Austin Aries might go there in the future, cause he certainly has the charisma to stand out if he's played right. Another obvious one would be Sting, but as he's getting on in years, he'd probably not be there long, if at all.

Who's your favourite muppet?

Beaker

Favorite breakfast cereal?

Probably Frosted Shreddies.

Favorite biscuits?

Good old custard creams.

Earliest wrestling memory?

Now that I'm not sure of. I think it might have been a match involving the Rock, cause one of my cousins was a huge supporter of Rocky, but I can't remember was it on RAW or PPV, or who it was against.

CMpunked wrote: »

Favorite original pokemon?

Charizard, hands down.

What was your 6 pokemon set up in the game-boy games?

In Red I think my team was: Charizard, Kadabra, Raichu, Nidoking, Tauros and Hitmonlee (I never had a link cable to get Alakazam )

Gold was Typhlosion, Ampharos, Tyranitar, Gyarados, Heracross and Ho-Oh.

Favourite wrestling promos?

I always loved the video for Unforgiven 2004, Randy Orton v Triple H. The music in particular fitted in perfectly.

Do you break out any wrestling moves/taunts on the dancefloor?

Nope, I'm rarely even on the dancefloor :pac:

Rank Nolan's Batman Trilogy?

Haven't watched any of them. I'm more an Adam West guy :P

also the 3 LOTR films?

I enjoyed the 3 films, and will probably go see The Hobbit in the cinema too. I do love the video "How the Lord of the Rings Should Have Ended" though :pac:
