Happy Birthday wishes on November 17th to...

[El Pollo Guerrera]

... Jay Bradley/Ryan Braddock!


... and Mercedes Martinez!

[Boo!]

Worked out that over the course of the year these 'birthday threads' at a rate of one a day will take nearly 8 whole pages of this section.

Could it not maybe be a sticky or just one thread updated daily?

I considered doing it as one thread but decided against it. When you put the cursor over the thread's title you get a preview of the text in the first post, and if I'm adding to the end of the thread people aren't getting that preview.

As to why... Moondog Spike.

Moondog Spike passed away March 21 this year. Someone posted a thread here of his death and a bunch of people posted in the thread "I used to love the Moondogs, so sorry to read this", etc. I started thinking that no one here had ever mentioned the Moondogs here before... So I guess I wanted to do something to celebrate the guys who are still here, and not mournful of the ones who have died.

I had hoped that it would spur conversations of fans remembering some of the famous and not-so-famous wrestlers that we loved (and hated) to see. Maybe someone out there has an awesome Ryan Braddock story, or saw a great Lou Perez match (there's a good'er on YouTube of Perez/Brian Armstrong vs. the Nasty Boys) and wanted to share.

I don't get the criticism that I'm "wasting space". The oldest threat on page 1 of this part of the forum is two and a half days old, so this part isn't exactly a hotbed of discussion. Also, there's a bunch of "Just Ask ME!" threads, "I'm bored, entertain me" threads, a weekly thread for Rebecca Black's music, and whenever someone want to rate a movie they start their own thread for it (even though there's a perfectly good one right here for that purpose).

Anyways, I'm sure that if I'm out of line here, one of the Moderators will contact me and tell me to stop, or change how I'm doing this.
