I know you mentioned liking Alexisonfire in another thread, so what are your top 5 favourite bands?

What's the best concert you've ever been to?

Ando's Saggy Bottom

Where does your username come from? Is it because you have an unhealthy liking for rashers?

I'm a big fan of metal, primarily extreme metal, so my top 5 would be:
1 - Cannibal Corpse
2 - Misery Index
3 - Dying Fetus
4 - Anaal Nathrakh
5 - Napalm Death

What's the best concert you've ever been to?

Probably a Cannibal Corpse and Dying Fetus concert I went over to London for, it was in the Koko Lounge in Camden.

Not quite, it was just my nickname as a kid, and it became what most people wound up calling me, so it sort of stuck. If I was to change the username though, I'd probably go with something Warhammer 40k related, like Angron or Kharn.

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

connemara man wrote: »

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.

Nope, wasn't me. At various points though I did use wrestlers music for ringtones, I used Kane's "Slow Chemical" song, Batista's "I Walk Alone" and RVD's "One of a Kind"

Charisteas wrote: »

Which year did you start watching wrestling?

I reckon it was around late 97/early 98. I remember loving two wrestlers in particular, Kane and Goldberg. Kane cause I liked the pyro he used, and the sheer intimidation factor he had, and Goldberg cause he was just a straight up ass-kicker.

How many wrestling shows have you been to?

One so far, though I'm going to go to the Wrestlemania Revenge tour in April. The show I went to was (I think) when I was in 2nd year in Secondary school, and Benoit was still alive cause he wrestled at it.

How many different countries have you been to?

Outside of Ireland, I've been to France, the UK and Spain.

Which country has the sexiest women?

Any of the Nordic countries really, Sweden, Finland or Norway.

Home and Away or Neighbours?

Can I pick neither? :P

Always been a fan of Charizard from pokemon. I also like L from the show "Deathnote".

My new rock shoes. Keep my feet dry, and they are comfortable too!

It's between Kane and Cena. I don't fancy walking down the street in the spandex trunks most wrestlers wear :pac: Kane's has the benefit of the mask, while with Cena's I'd just be ridiculously coloured.

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

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

I dunno if it counts as much, but I put one of my friends in the Masterlock outside school before :P

ii) Bon Jovi or Guns'n'Roses

I'd like a few more GnR songs than Bon Jovi, but I wouldn't really be a fan. Axl Rose is a huge tool.

iii) WWF or WCW

I'd have watched a bit more WCW as a kid, but overall I'd have to go with the WWF.

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.

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

MitchKoobski

Best WWE game?

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

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.

MitchKoobski wrote: »

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.

Default questions:

What got you into Pro Wrestling in the first place?

What keeps you interested in it?

How did you come across the PW forum on Boards?

What keeps you coming back to the forum?

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

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

Any plans for the future?

Masterchef or master mind?

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

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

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

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

Angron

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.

CMpunked wrote: »

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.

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

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

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?"

Any regrets in life thus far?

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.

Who would you push and how would you push them?

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

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

Who's your favourite muppet?

Angron

CastorTroy wrote: »

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.

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

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.

Charizard, hands down.

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.

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

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:

There's quite a few modern games I love, Borderlands 2 has probably been my favourite game out this year. Black Ops 2 has been pretty enjoyable, though compared to MW3 that wouldn't be saying much :pac: Team Fortress 2 is a pretty fun game too, I love playing as the Pyro in particular. Lastly I'll include most of the Warhammer 40k games I've played, which are generally Real-Time Strategy games.
