Apologies for starting a thread based on mainly an introduction, but once youve read this whole thread, perhaps Ill be excused.
Ill just get straight to the point: Im an ex pro wrestler. Im going to make it clear to all very early on that I AM NOT going to reveal my identity. Due to reasons of possible swaying of discussion from some, and to be honest just general privacy reasons, I dont particularly want an entire forum knowing my identity.
I shall however give you a brief insight into my career to feed some possible curiosity. I was active for around 6 years. I spent time in WCW, WWF/WWE, and briefly New Japan Pro. My career was a somewhat short one, as I suffered a non-wrestling based injury as I was starting to progress (and poor booking didnt help). Fans of all three above companies would be very aware of me if I stated my name (I am a former champion in one of the above companies) but at the same time I was in no way a distinguished champion in the industry (although it paid the bills well)!
After my career finished I moved on to a brief stint in another sporting field, before leaving the public eye and finding work in more conventional roles.
I stopped following and watching the WWE (of which I have been a fan since a child and throughout my stint there) in 2006. It was around this time that I ended my pro-wrestling career, and wanted to remove myself from it entirely (mainly due to being fed up with the industry as a whole). Just over a year ago, I started watching the programming once more. It quickly engulfed my life once more, and now I find myself consistently watching. I took it upon myself to catch-up with what I missed as thoroughly as possible (mainly Legacy, Cena domination, HBK retiring etc).
It was only recently that I discovered the IWC. It was by mistake that I stumbled across a website dedicated to wrestling news, and then I saw that numerous forums and news sites existed. Ive followed this forum for a month or so, and upon my year anniversary of re-watching and following WWE programming, I decided Id induct myself into the IWC.
I feel that I could contribute to some discussions that Ive noticed often speculate around certain issues that require insider access. Im not saying Im going to act as some old story-teller, but Id happily contribute to discussions that debate over a tricky subject as many fans will be unaware of inside dealings of the industry. I just hope that in return Ill be treated as a regular fan. That is why I started this thread, as a means of getting all this off my chest and in the open, rather than it slowly becoming apparent from my posts, and to ask if there is room for a battered ex-pro with a love for the industry that wont seem to leave me.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to this new phase of my wrestling career: a whiny old SOB from the IWC!
