Well some 29 years ago my parents had relations in the freezer of a bar under influence of various substances. That led to two decades of bullshit and the habit of reading things Al Bundy style. On one of those trips I read something in the WOW Mini insert of WOW Magazine about Wrestlecrap. So I dialed up Sprynet, waited 15 minutes for the site to load and it turns out the site had just returned from hiatus. One of the links was to the old EZ Board so went there and signed up, made maybe 5 or 6 posts before giving up because dial up sucks. A year or so later I got DSL and for some reason remembered Wrestlecrap so I went on over, saw a link for the new board and signed up though I had no intention of posting. A short time later I visited and saw something (pretty sure on Triple H who was at the height of his hate which baffled me then and now) and I took the plunge and started posting. Now here we are 9 years later next week and I start to wonder how much time I've actually spent here.

I was a big fan of Wrestlecrap back in the day and I started lurking here around 06 and 07. I remember reading everyone's comments about Benoit and I felt comfort knowing other fans were grieving just like I was.
I finally joined in 08 and this place has been my online home ever since.

A friend of mine lurks here, she kept linking me to threads. I've been away from forums for a few years and decided it was time I had a "home base" of sorts for wrestling talk, so I joined after a bit of my own lurking.

I came due to Wrestlecrap, though I don't remember how I found that exactly. I lurked for a few months before joining, and after my interest in WC waned, I stuck around, got modded, and retired from that. Then I kept reporting posts so they semi-unretired me so I'd knock it off and move posts/lock threads myself.

I've been reading the forums since like 2009 when I had been out of wrestling for a year and my Googling random things trying to catch up brought me here. I spent a long time reading before I ever decided to join in.

a friend posted about the Wrestlecrap site on another message board and I checked it out. lurked the message board for about a year before registering but I liked the people and I've been here ever since. was almost 10 years ago now. actually, I owe this board heavily for getting me into comic books in such a big way (never read them before I was 20) as well as a lot of the anime and video games I play. it also introduced me to Nostalgia Critic (and through him the rest of the TGWTG crew I watch as well as AVGN) and the various abridged series.

Around 2001 or so it seems, a guy I worked with who was also a wrestling fan told me about this site called Wrestlecrap and how they had old wrestling footage and made fun of it.
Keep in mind this is before youtube, and the only old wrestling footage I had access to was my old VHS tapes, so I was all for this.
I saw some clips and then I think the site shut down due to bandwith
flash forward a few years, I'm at work bored and decide to do a search to see if the site came back and there it was!
I was hooked until the updates went from weekly to monthly, so I needed my fix and saw there was a message board, which was a new concept to me at the time.
and willywonka666 was born on a hot summer night in 2005

I posted way, way back in the EZBoard days. (Gosh, anyone remember that?) When the forum moved to ProBoards, so did I. I was here for WrestleCrap, The 'Crap, and now FAN. I honestly can't remember how I found WrestleCrap. Probably saw it mentioned on a wrestling site. Yep. I was on the Ezboard as well. I found wrestlecrap originally from my brother during the original run. I randomly checked it again on a whim in 2002 and saw it was back up... a few weeks later they added the link to the official forum... and I refused to leave ever since -_- I got hoodwinked into being a mod. Were you also bamboozled or hornswoggled?

I was a lurker for a long time, I believe it was a Batista photoshop thread that brought me here. See, the guy has his uses.

My doctor told me that I need to talk shit and crack jokes at least four times a day to keep my blood pressure down. So, I signed up on here.
