Fav. - Anything written or recorded before 1970. (The lone exception to this is the Muppets 12 days of Christmas, I really like that one.)
Least - Everything written and recorded after 1970 Special least nods to Do they know it's Christmas (I could go on and on about this one.) and that horrible Paul McCartney song.

Willie Nelson end thread. Double that and add Louis Armstrong but since he's dead he only gets a half point.

Andre and Hogan. I can't make a decision on anyone else. Depends on which time frame or era. Dead of living, that kind of thing.
Right now the Rock is probably the most recognizable beyond both Andre and Hogan most because kids know who he is.

82-86 I like to think of it as one long year. Basically middle school for me.

Most forms of metal - I can't listen to it for very long. I like Iron Maiden and Slayer and Anthrax and a few others but that's it.
Opera - I just don't understand singing like that for two hours.

But people know it isn't real. That cat is never, ever going back in the bag. So why not move on? Good point. I would rather watch 100% free than semi. I wouldn't mind going back to 100% kayfabe. Just start over with a new company, new product, and sell it as real pro wrestling. You would have to slow it down and bring back the hour long exhibitions of holds and shows of strength. Make real like MMA. Get back to actually enforcing rules of a match. Really though too much in society has changed since the good old days of kayfabe so a complete re-tooling of the industry would have to the energy to take it "over the top" again.

I miss most of what the territories offered even down to the house lights, ring and tag ropes, non folding chairs, the boxing and athletic commission that sanctioned the events, the promotors, the interviews. (I hate watching wrestlers hold secret meetings with a camera in front of them while the audience in the house watches it all unfold)
I loved battle royals where the winner won 10'000 dollars. I miss reading the results of the house shows in the sports page of the newspaper. I miss smoking in the Cow Palace and no barriers. I miss seeing the old guys and old ladies who would scream the worst obcenities to the wrestlers. I also miss wrestlers that didn't need fireworks and music to make an entrance. They were there to do a job that needed to be done. I can hear a guy like the Crusher saying music and fireworks, who needs that S@#$ you lousy bum. I miss reading about wrestlers from other territories through magazines. They seemed more larger than life. Cable kinda ruined it for me even though I was able to watch NWA and Texas wrestling.
I remember Kaufman making the nightly newscast the first time he and Lawler went at it. I thought it was so real and remember feeling sad for Kaufmann.
I miss almost all of it, and rarely watch the product that is out there today. Shame really.

Love it. I fire up the grill almost every Sunday. Especially during football season.
there are those who argue there is a difference between BBQ and grilling. I guess BBQ is racks of ribs and grilling is hot dogs and hamburgers. It's all the same to me.
I love the idea of slow cooking food like ribs for hours. I also prefer a rub over a sauce.
The Nugget in Reno Nevada is supposed to have an amazing rib cook-off every year during Labor day Weekend. I am going to go next year.

Michael
I cool with it, though it does sound kinda soft.
I don't like being called Mike. I grew up being called Mike and was fine with it, but now I am Michael.
If I decide to create records and play shows again I will use my middle name John as my stage first name.

I think the concepts are buried so far into the lesson because, at my kid at 3 1/2 doesn't grasp concepts as concepts/
I set firm rules that are to be followed, throw in a lot of love, rarely spank or physically reprimand, and constantly remind him if he is not allowed to do something it's so that he doesn't get hurt or hurt someone else.
I love being a dad.

The theme song is actually pretty rockin' in a bluesy shuffle sense.
My son watches this show and will probably be recieving some dinosaur train toys for X-mas.
He knows more species of dinosaur than I do.

1998 - after years of being a bit of a loser with no direction, I through it all on table and went to college to earn a degree in music. I met my wife and became fairly successful as a middle school music teacher. I was 26.
I assume by finding yourself you mean when did your life take on it's current direction.

Sounds like Ride of the Valkyries to me. Richard Wagner I think.
