5. If you were a wrestler what'd be your gimmick and signature moves?

1. Individually, Michaels ability to have a great match with anyone plus his cocky bad-boy attitude, Triple H's work rate, Scott Hall's charisma, X-Pac was always my favourite light-heavyweight, and I like the way Nash's brain works.

As a group they seemed like awesome guys to hang with on the road every night in the 90's. Liked how they all had their own unique style of wrestling, liked watching all them in the ring, on the mic, and they all give good interviews.

2. Actually Raw is the only thing I am currently watching on a weekly basis.

3. Not many options there being a vegetarian..... I'll take a can of Pepsi and whatever chocolate flavour thing they have for dessert.

4. Sorry Jay you have me totally stumped there?!

5. I would probably be a punk or a skater, I already have long hair so I would get dreadlocks, literally skate down to the ring, and Rosita would be my valet. Probably keep the signature move something simple from the top rope, I'll go for a moonsault.

Who would you cast as Batman?

6. Snickers or marathon?

1. Hulk Hogan, Vince McMahon, Scott Hall, Steve Austin, Triple H.

2. Wow I don't know really, not big into famous people. I guess Michael Jackson, Johnny Cash, Arsene Wenger, and then Hogan and McMahon again.

3. Beer, rarely drink alcohol though.

4. Coke.

5. Snickers.

Edit - Realised I missed a question. I'm veggie so no steak or burgers for me. But if I wasn't veggie then I would choose steak, it's more healthy and more protein.

7. your non WWE Guilty pleasure TV show?

1. The guy that nicked my phone.

2. I would pick Rovert because he would likely know what the wrestlers eat and drink for breakfast, and I could spike their drinks. We would be called Hard as Nailz C-nuts.

3. ?!

4. Amsterdam/Prague, because I've never been to Amsterdam.

5. Currently, either of the Bellas. Yes purely asthetic.

6. Yes.

7. I guess the odd episode of Home and Away.

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?

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?

Gimmick you hated at first but it really grew on you?

Best repackaging of a WWE Superstar? Outside the obvious ones like Austin and The Rock.

Cool :cool:


Default/Sample Questions
What got you into Pro Wrestling in the first place?

-When I was about 6 or 7, all the cool kids in school were into it. I vaguely remember having a dentist appointment one day, and after it, my Dad took me to a toy store and I picked out a wrestling figure. It was a WCW Flying Bryan Pillman figure. Not sure why I chose that, I think because my old man watched WCW and he recognised him. Anyway after taking it into school the next day, I was accepted into the cool kids gang......

What keeps you interested in it?

-I love that it's so different to everything else. I love that being a wrestling fan is like being in a cult. The outside world don't understand and I love that. I like the larger than life characters and the glitz and glamour of it, the backstage news and politics, who's sleeping with who, and occasional thin lines between shoot and reality.

How did you come across the PW forum on Boards?

-By searching for information for an IWW show in Dublin.

What keeps you coming back to the forum?

-Again, it's like a cult. I like how everyone kinda knows everyone else. It's like chatting and shooting banter with the regular locals down the pub.

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

-Not much really. Soccer (Arsenal supporter), and can I say women?

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

-Hulk Hogan returning to WWE in 2002, emotionally drained me.

Where did your username come from?

-Scorer of Greece's winning goal in the 2004 Euro final.

-Khali turned out to be disappointing. Had a great look and I'm a fan of big guys, but he just couldn't do anything.

- I don't mind Big E but I wouldn't have put the IC title on him yet. As for poor gimmick, I really dislike Miz.

- I would push Ziggler or Sandow, and start by giving them a lengthy run with the IC title.

- Jeff Hardy would be top of my list. Still a WWE main event level guy. I can see Hogan and Flair come back for Wrestlemania season, maybe Batista because he's Triple H's mate. As for women, Maryse needs to be back.

- Apart from Jeff who I already mentioned, I think Bobby Roode has what it takes to be a regular WWE main event level player.

- Never watched muppets. I know of kermit and piggy, but no, just no!

- I suppose Fandango, just because I heard so many good things about Johnny Curtis. But he's actually amazing at the gimmick.

- Gotta by Husky Harris to Bray Wyatt.

I love Christmas music, but not a fan of the actual hoopla that goes on. People getting into debt spending money on presents that people don't want or need, that's quite sad.

My favourite wrestling memory is seeing Hulk Hogan in the flesh.

Favourite non wrestling memory involves female companionship.

I guess I always knew. And I don't think I ever really cared, as the presents would still be there on the 25th.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I wonder if that kwik-e-mart sell stamps because from walking from Dame Street to Parnell street and asking in 5 or 6 different convenience stores, it's impossible to buy stamps unless from the GPO it seems.

1. That's really like predicting who the next famous dead person is going to be. Hard to say. Queen Elizabeth is nearly 90 so maybe her. Prince Philip is 92.

2. Savage and Warrior are the obvious ones, but also nWo as a group (only Hogan, Hall, Nash) and also Jim Johnson, the guy who makes all the theme music.

3. Koko B Ware. Don't feel like he added anything to the product, at least not in WWF anyway.

Do you think Arsenal will win the league or is it "Our Year".
Who do you want in the CL draw next week?

No I don't think Arsenal will win unfortunately. Love to be proved wrong though. I'd guess it will finish

1. Man City.
2. Chelsea.
3. Arsenal.
4. Man United.
5. Liverpool.
6. Spurs.
7. Everton.

As for the Champs League, I would sacrifice it this year for a better crack at winning the Premier League, but I want PSG.

JP Liz V1

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

Charisteas

Not a fan if getting drunk, plus never done Karaoke in my life Liz! But if there's a first time for everything then I would go for Shawn Michaels theme song. If you want something mainstream, perhaps something from Queen, I doubt I could reach Freddie's high notes though.

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

What is your favourite finisher?

I would probably be a punk or a skater, I already have long hair so I would get dreadlocks, literally skate down to the ring, and Rosita would be my valet. I'd like to feud with Rey Mysterio first, he's going to retire in the near future so I think he could really put me over. I'll rip the mask of him, but then hug him, and come off as a babyface.

My favourite finisher, probably Sweet Chin Music, especially when it has that 'smack' sound effect.

Okay I'll try and make them interesting for ya

1: What current wrestler in the WWE do you think could make a Rock like impact on Hollwood (as in succeed outside of WWE films which are rubbish in general)

2: If you could a Soccer/Football commentator to work on a WWE PPV who would it be *(anyone but michael owen or niall quinn)

3: What footballer do you think would make a good wrestler (Kompany of city for me)

4: Who's you're favourite wrestler and give me 1 good reason why ?

5: do you watch foreign wrestling (npjw or any of those)

1. I think Brad Maddox has the look, voice, and persona of like a rookie cop in some detective thriller. Yeah I think he can be the new Leonardo de Caprio

2. Andy Gray, the Jim Ross of the 90's. "Ohhhhhhhh you beauty, what a pinfall son, what a pinfall"

3. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, he already does some martial arts I think and has a good body.

4. Brock Lesnar, because he legitimately makes you think you are watching a real fight.

5. Nope, sorry!
