    Orestes and Vince2003etc. have become the new Shane and Stephanie of the Pro Wrestling forum (I'll leave it to them to fight over who has to lay down for Hunter). Here's hoping that they can get the forum back on track after the past few weeks.

    Also, massive thanks to Fozzy. He modded this forum practically by himself for 2 years give or take and precided over what is hopefully the worst thing we'll see in the Benoit Tragedy. Great mod.

    Edit: In case you were wondering, KentonBomb was asked but was unavailable at to comment

    Awesome, two guys I know will do a fantastic job. Great, great stuff.

    EDIT What happened to Fozzy?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Best of luck, two great choices.

    Boo-yah!

    New mods? Really?


    Is Fozzy still modding? or did he give it up? And bombidol did help, too, in fairness.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    Oh no, bring back Fozzy!

    I hope this doesnt turn into a baby talk fest like the Nocturnal forum seems to be to me.

    All I ask for is for the new mods not to play favourites.

    I've no doubts they'll do what they need to to make this a decent forum to discuss ProWresting and cut out the bitching.

    It begins, again I said "as it seems to be to me" which is of course in my opinion. I hope this forum can still be a place for serious wrestling discussion.

    This forum is as much (if not more) about the ProWrestling community as it is about spewing out facts. You get me?

    What is wrong with in your words "spewing facts" exactly I give plenty of opinion with it and I’m also able to have a laugh as well. It is comments like yours that make me fear that this board will be dumbed down massively in the near future. I know there are difference types of Wrestling fans and no one can say I haven’t been helpful or accommodating to each different type of fan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Dude, I wasnt singling you out for the spewing bit. I'm all about the love ... hugs in the locker room?

    I think there was one actually. There was a weird youtube vid link in it too with Damien Demento goin nuts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    I was talking "to" you "about" the forum. Serious dude, hugz ....... then food.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,045 ✭✭✭Vince135792003


    Hi everyone,

    I won't say a whole lot because orestes and I haven't really spoken yet but we will be in due course.

    I will say however that above all anything else, my focus will be on trying to make this forum a more positive, inclusive and friendly place for everyone to talk about wrestling.

    I won't say anymore on the direction of the place until I speak to the other mods. but that's where I am coming from in a nutshell.

    Also it will take me a while to get used to all the mod options (moving, deleting threads etc..) so bare with me. 1 final thing, I do not work in a job where I am on a computer all day so my time will be limited. However, I will try my best to get on as often as I can (while still trying to have a life too).

    Thanks.

    He got to the top in Mid South and credit to him but to me nothing explains how he become so loved. He was so much more than his achivements.

    I agree it should assessable for everyone and not just for a clique of posters as there is signs of this already happening.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,443 ✭✭✭Red Sleeping Beauty

    orestes of course :pac:

    I'm assuming yis will be updating the charter ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,960 ✭✭✭trout


    Back on topic ... how about a big friendly boards PW Wrestling forum welcome to Vince135792003 and orestes . :)

    Good luck with the forum.


  • Posts: 5,285 [Deleted User]


    orestes of course :pac:

    Steph is hot ! great legs . You have alot to live up to Orestes.

    Congrats on the modships lads . Looking forward to the new change .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,284 ✭✭✭Gerard.C


    If ye do update the charter how about adding something to do with double posting? NOT SINGLING ANYONE OUT but reading two or three posts by the same poster can be wicked head wrecking.

    Best of luck to ye


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    May I take this opportunity to make a suggestion to our new mods? The Soccer Forum has had some success defusing the tense atmosphere among posters by creating an off-topic thread, where wrestling talk is strictly a no-no and is used for posters to chat and dare I even say gain respect for each other. Could be worth a trial run.:) Don't ban me for backseat modding, it's just a suggestion.:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    Thanks for the welcomes folks :)

    Like vince said, we haven't really had chance to discuss things properly yet, but basically our aim is to make this forum more inclusive for everybody and a friendlier place for old and new users alike.

    The mods will all have a more in depth discussion on the direction we want the forum to take in the future very soon and update the charter accordingly if we see fit to do so.

    Cheers

    Aw :(


    I'm so let down. A poster that has just become a mod of a wrestling forum, whose username is 'Vince', and he didn't use a Vince comment :(



    I'll requote you...



    Hello.


    I said hel.... hel... SHUT UP!


    I won't say a whole lot because the board of Directors and I haven't really spoken yet but we will be in due course.

    I will say however that above all anything else, my focus will be to grab this forum by the throat, and make it a more positive, inclusive and unpredictable place for everyone to talk about wrestling.

    I won't say anymore on the direction of the place until I speak to the board.

    Now.. its time to SHAKE THINGS UP A BIT!!

    Well.. thats what i'd have said. :o

    He's actually working on a new 619 type move called the 135792003. Top secret though

    His numbers have something to do with asian women.


    (according to google image searching, anyway)


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,872 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    The first half of his user name is the formula n = n + 2.

    The second half is 2003.

    Im sure this is important somehow!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    Good luck to the new mods and farewell to the great Fozzy.


  • Subscribers Posts: 2,163 ✭✭✭Brolly
