I've been a wrestling fan since back in the NWA days. I would get up on Saturdays and watch "The Main Event". I watched those shows until the WWF/WWE made it's presence and still, somehow in my mind, remember the match at Wrestlemania (can't remember the exact match because my disability affects my memory - information about that below this) where Hogan won the title from Andre' (of course, what I heard was that the decision had been made previously to let Hogan win the title because Andre' was in bad health at the time(?).
My name is Tony Trout and I'm 37...disabled with Cerebral Palsy/Hydrocephalus since birth on May 20, 1976...was given a death sentence when I was born, basically. If I lived, I would have to be institutionalized because of my disability and I wouldn't know anybody or anything and be in a vegetative state. However, I'm still here and, not only that, I can play several different musical instruments. Missed a chance just recently of going "big-time" with a local band but...guess it wasn't meant to happen.
I've bought or had most of the WWE/WCW wrestling games that have been released on most consoles - however, I only have the most recent ones for the X-Biox & X-Box 360. Due to limited finances, I probably won't ever be able to afford an X-Box One.
I think that it's very cool that there are actual wrestlers here and that they will visit and answer questions. I have read the rules and will try to do my best and behave. I think I'm gonna like it here!
I wanted to use an avatar of my favorite singer, Elvis Presley, but it wouldn't let me. Oh, well.....
Again, thank you guys for having me. I was searching for other wrestling forums and came upon the actual site and saw that there was a forum and decided to register and see what it's like here.
1. I don't spam - so ya'll won't have to worry.
2. I don't post any porn images and never will. I find it degraging to women.
3. I'll never flame anyone. I always like to try to make friends since I've always felt like a "loner" with not a lot of friends due to my disability. I even had an ex-girlfriend/ex-fiance' tell me to my face that my disability scared her.
4. I'm an "old school" wrestling fan and my favorites are/were:
Hulk Hogan
Vader
Ted "The Million Dollar Man" DiBiase
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper
Dusty Rhodes
Ric Flair
Randy "Macho Man" Savage
Steve "Sting" Borden (the Stinger Splash - WOW!)
The Undertaker
Kane
Cena
Orton
Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat (he always reminded me of the late Bruce Lee, somehow)
The Rock
Jutian "Thunder" Liger
Lex Luger
And many others...sadly, I never "got into" ECW or TNA or IW but never have been blessed enough to attend a match due to my disability. Those brands just don't excite me like WWE and WCW did/does.
5. I'm not here looking for any sympathy because I'm disabled.
I guess that's about it for now from me! Thanks for having me, everyone!! If anyone might wanna know more, just shoot me a PM and I'll be more than happy to answer ya!
