I'm just rather unremarkable I guess in my eyes. Just an average guy.

[Viazon]

If you're such a boring dude, then isn't your username and bit contradictory?

Tell me three unknown facts about yourself please

[The Legend]

What's your opinion on the WWE product right now?

I actually think it's really strong at the moment, especially from the talent perspective. They have interesting performers all over the card and in each division. There's guys that I like to watch all over RAW and SD and I fast forward through a lot less of the product than I have in recent years.

I also think they do a good job at the moment of mixing older guys and younger guys and balancing that ratio.

I think if there were three things I would improve/change though, they would be:

1. A lot less guest commentary. I like guest commentators when done right, in the right situations and in the right amount, but right now between the Bellas, the healthy Uso, the PTP, the Miz and a few others it feels like there's a guest commentator half of the matches in WWE right now.

2. More attention to details. To me the WWE seems to form a lot of decent to really good ideas, but for some reason they don't see them all the way through. Their storytelling is all in really broad strokes that leave the viewer's imagination to fill in a lot of details. If they would focus on better details in promos and segments, I think a lot more people would have a lot greater appreciation for the product. Attention to those details would also allow the viewer to become more emotionally invested in the story and characters involved.

3. They need to pick up the pace. Every segment or match on RAW or SD seems to all last 10-14 minutes long. There's no variance and that is an extremely slow format to take on in this time and age of TV. I'm not saying matches or segments of this length can't be used, but a few segments that are 3-5 minutes and get their point across more quickly it would keep people on their toes more often.

If you're such a boring dude, then isn't your username and bit contradictory?

Yeah probably. My username doesn't really apply to me, or at least it didn't when I signed up for WWE Club. I signed up for the club about the time they were doing the Cena, Hogan, HBK mini-stable and there was a lot of hate for HBK and Hogan around that time that they were doing that story. People thought Hogan and HBK were past it and wanted them to go away. I still loved Hogan and HBK as figures of my childhood that I would never turn my back on. I seemed like an older era fan than most of the people on the club at the time and my name was more of a nod to legends of wrestling and Hogan in particular than myself.

Also, is it so wrong for a guy to dream about being more interesting.

I was born with a physical disability. That's the furthest I'll go on this topic though.

[Hanley!]

I don't see you often in the tv/movies section of the forum. Could you name one of your favourites of each?

What's your employment situation like at the moment?

I know you used to be one of the more politically inclined people on here. Are you still into politics? If so, what cause matters most to you at the moment?

You've been involved in some US/UK debates here in the past. What's one element of the UK or Europe that you think America would really benefit from? And what element of the US do you think the Brits should adopt?

That's interesting. If I remember correctly we had a little discussion about drinking and playing sports unless I'm getting you mixed up with someone else.

Implying you dream of anything other than eating chicken in the car with your mates.

Couple of favorite TV shows: At the moment, Graceland and Big Bang Theory. All-time: 24, West Wing, Friends.

Favorite movies: Remember the Titans, Dark Knight, Departed, Silver Linings Playbook.

I do a lot of independent contractor work win the media and public relations field.

I still feel strongly about a lot of things in politics, but I don't talk about them much any more because I've come to realize when it comes to politics nobody changes anybody's mind, especially on the internet. So it just becomes shouting into the wind. As for what matters most to me, it's social freedom and economic equality.

US would benefit from public health care. Brits would definitely benefit from refrigerating their beer.

Favorite alcoholic beverage?

Favorite beverage, I'll give you a couple. My favorite hard alcohol drink is Jameson whiskey mixed with 7 Up. My favorite beer is probably Canoe Paddler from Leinenkugels. Also, not your grandfather's root beer is really good.

You're in a warehouse. You're naked and lying on the floor. Your family is watching through a one-way window. They can see you. You can't see them. Big Show takes a shit on your thighs while Rosie O'Donnell dumps a bucket of her used tampons into the doo doo. The whole time Nasty Boy Brian Knobbs pisses in your belly button and Barbra Walters pukes on your neck.

Would you participate in this for 500 million dollars? If not, what's your price? If so, what's the lowest amount of money that you'd accept?


Put the following ten wrestlers in order of preference: Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Daniel Bryan, Ric Flair, The Undertaker, Randy Savage, Roddy Piper, The Rock, Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin.

What was your hardest moment as a Cleveland sports fan (besides The Decision or losing the Browns to Baltimore, to keep things interesting)?

[PorkChop]

What are your thoughts on Randy Lerner?
