Hey, all. A moderator told me I could start an introduction thread in Off Topic. Feel free to add your own to my thread. I'm Jennifer Kim (F, 27). I'm founder/admin of a wrestling group over on Facebook (live match commentary, discussions, polls, memes, etc.). I decided to create an account here in order to expand my network and hopefully engage in intelligent and/or engaging discussion of the sport. I was wondering how many other women are active posters on here. I don't have a lot of female friends to discuss wrestling with (regrettably, the ones I do know personally are more interested in Roman Reign's tightly clad butt than the sport itself; personally, I'm more interested in discussing matches, moves and finishers, and overall entertainment value). I started out exclusively following the indie scene (I still think of most wrestlers by their original ring names, pre-WWE). My favorites matches are TLC. Also, until recently, I liked Raw a lot more than Smackdown. Favorite WWE wrestlers are: Chris Jericho, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, Shinsuke Nakamura, Kevin Owens, Bobby Roode, and The New Day; women's division: Asuka, Paige, Becky Lynch, and Sasha Banks (my boyfriend and I were on opposite sides for Hell In A Cell, and he kept yelling "WOO!" uncontrollably during their feud, but I digress...). I'm also partial to Gail Kim, simply because she's also from Seoul, and people have mistaken me for her at events (plus my Korean surname is Kim XD ). Least favorites: Roman Reigns (didn't like him as Roman Leakee, and like him less now - sorry!) and Eva Marie (Sami Zayn, you were so humble saying "one thousand!" XD ). Anyway, PM me if you feel like chatting (hoping to find legit sports discussion, which was harder to do on Facebook)!

Hi Jennifer, welcome! I'm Dimitris, 32, Male, from Boston, Massachusetts. (Go Red Sox/Patriots/Celtics/Bruins!) I work at Home Depot, outside, which is good overall, except when I almost freeze my fingers off when it's too cold, or when it's too hot and my arms get burnt to a crisp. I love wrestling, music, video games and sports.

I love wrestling, music, video games and sports. Hey, I was raised in Marlborough, Massachusetts (so I'm also a Sox fan, much to my boyfriend's chagrin). Do you do any sports? I don't wrestle myself, but I am getting into Dagorhir (foam fighting - dag is a full contact competitive sport, as opposed to LARP-ing). I fight with sword, but want to train to be a spear or red fighter (my bf fights red, too, and sometimes wrestles at dag events). I also do scuba, horseback riding, and target shooting. And I'm an avid gamer, too. I love sports, comic books, heavy metal music (I'm a reviewer for Sonic Cathedral Webzine), theatre, fashion design, tattoos, etc. Also, my girly obsession is in-ring attire; specifically, the clothing styles of Paige, Katie Lea, Ashley, and AJ Lee.

Hi Jennifer, I'm an idiot!
I was here originally because I love the absurdity that is Pro Wrestling and I stayed because of the excellent benefits package and the random culture chatter. I think my favorite part about everything here is the lack of "hardcore troll topics" you see about everywhere else on the net. There's a good balance of garbage humor/talk without it morphing into political/religious/hate trolling.
I've seen ultra serious posts about major life problems exist alongside posts about Superhero bathroom habits. It's all good in moderation. I love it.

Welcome Jennifer! I'm Annette, 39, in Ann Arbor, Michigan! I totally understand what you mean - I sometimes feel like a unicorn being a female wrestling fan, especially since I prefer ROH/NJPW, etc. over soap opera filled WWE.
I too love the Red Sox! Also a big fan of UFC and getting into boxing.

Hey, you're also from Mass? That's awesome. Also that's cool that you do all those activities. I don't really do sports now, but I used to play some basketball.

Good evening all! My name is Ian, 41, from Rochester, England. I'm relatively new here, and haven't watched wrestling in 20 years but always get a kick out of the site. I'm a civil servant for the UK Government and work in a call centre, I'm in a long-term relationship, I like gaming, dark electronic music films (Shawshank Redemption and Taxi Driver are my top two), 80s and early 90s pop culture, binge watching box sets, F1 Grand Prix and I'm the proud owner of an 11 year old border collie called Oscar.

Hi, I'm Paul even though nobody calls me that (1004 nicknames) I'm a power plant operator on Michigan's west coast. Total a sci fi nerd. I spend most of my time on this board on the off topic side but do show up for Raw or Smackdown giewing parties. And I usually communicate with pictures or GIFS. Enjoy your stay here, we're all misfits, but we're misfits together

My name is HOV H to the OV I used to move snowflakes by the O Z.
Wait...no. My name is Rob (not Ishmeal. Shocking, I know). I'm from the Albany, NY area so its Yankees/Giants/Nets/Devils. I came here...hmm like 12 years ago. I think. 2005 sounds right. Anywho, I was on Wrestlecrap back in the day and saw they had a forum and have been here since. I'm here because I love wrestling, and love talking about it (and so much more!) with the people here, who are awesome! My favorite fed is is WWE, but I have been getting into NJPW increasingly, which everyone says around Wrestle Kingdom. If you haven't heard, Okada vs. Omega was the best match ever, because Meltz Daddy said so!
My favorite wrestlers are Shinsuke Nakamura, Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, Bayley, Alexa Bliss, AJ Styles, Katsuyori Shibata, the Young Bucks, Adam Cole (BAYBAY) and Tetsuya Naito. My favorite match ever is RVD & Sabu vs. Hayabusa & Jinsei Shinzaki from ECW Heatwave 98. Also, Adam Page is doo doo.
In short, welcome!

Hi Jennifer,
I'm Lachlan, I'll be 33 in a couple of weeks & I'm from Sydney Australia. I have a wonderful wife who puts up with my crap & keeps on loving me! I have been a member on here since it was known as the Wrestlecrap forum before it was even hosted here (28th person to join this forum). I originally got into wrestling when I was in high school, it was the absolute height of the Monday night war & most of my friends were fans then too. We used to gather on a Saturday night to watch Raw & Nitro on primitive cable TV here in Australia. I drifted away fro a few years after WWE bought ECW & WCW but I got back into it in 2004 when Eddie Guerrero beat Lesnar for the WWE title. I'm also a huge sports nut, over the years I have played Cricket, Soccer, Golf, Aussie Rules, Baseball, Field Hockey, Rugby & probably a few I'm forgetting. I also watch a heck of a lot of sports too (local Aussie stuff, US stuff & European Soccer mainly). My current favorite wrestlers are Shinsuke Nakamura, Kenny Omega, Michael Elgin, AJ Styles & Hirooki Goto. My favorite women are Becky Lynch & Asuka. My top tag teams are American Alpha, The Revival, The Young Bucks & TM-61.

Ok, serious answer: I usually have some form of the username "Clash", but my given name is Justin. I'm a former mod, now retired and I periodically write articles for the main fan site. My sports teams are the Cardinals (baseball) and Mizzou football. I work in retail and I'm currently in school studying graphic design.
My hobbies include, aside from the articles, painting and sketching. I like to think of myself as a bit of an animation nerd, both western cartoons and anime.
I've been following wrestling since I was seven. As of now my current favorites include Kenny Omega, the New Day, Asuka, Katsuyori Shibata, John Cena, Broken Matt Hardy, Alexa Bliss, Ricochet, AJ Styles, Kazuchika Okada, Minoru Suzuki, Pentagon Dark, Dean Ambrose and The Miz. So yeah, there's a lot of talented people doing fun stuff now.
