The Icon

Name:Brian Weldon Age:Almost 31 Location: Swords, Ireland How long have you been a wrestling fan?: 20 years How did you first come across it?: Saturday afternoon wrestling on TV back in the 80's What was your initial impression?: (Then when most wrestlers were big if not overweight) This is both funny & entertaining What kept you coming back to watch more?: Keyword entertaining Who is your current favourite wrestler and why?: Kurt Angle because he is one of the best al round wrestlers to ever lace up boots Who is your all-time favourite wrestler and why?: Either Kurt or Tito Santana. Not really sure why i liked Tito so much but I couldn't get enough of his matches in the 80's What promotions do/did you watch (and enjoy)?: WWF (enjoy) WCW (Mostly Enjoy) Some Japan tapes (NJPW AJPW GLOW Enjoy) ECW (Overrated violence but a lot of great talent) WWE (Mostly enjoy) Which promotion is your favourite and why?: WWF Circa 1984 to 1994 because is was a more innocent organisation then (kayfab bah who needs that!) RAW or SmackDown!?: I sit on the fence for this arguement How much wrestling (hours) do you watch on average per week?: Non PPV weeks including old tapes up to 8 + add 3 for PPV weeks. Ever been to a live event? If so, which ones and where?: Just Twice both in Ireland point Depot was the Venue. Back in 1995 the main event was shawn vs IRS & this year i went to the Raw tour. What's your opinion on - cruiserweights?: Wasted talent in WWE elsewhere responsible for the most exiting wrestling on TV - women's wrestling?: In Japan as good as the men in WWE slightly boring but still has potential - Vince's fascination with big men?: I can tolarate it when said 'big man' is good but he goes too far at times. Does your partner enjoy wrestling? To what extent?: None of my GF's have ever liked wrestling. Do your friends and family enjoy wrestling? To what extent?: Not a bit of it they never watch it, they don't mind being in the same room as it though. Do you think British wrestling will ever be as popular as it was in the World Of Sport days?: Never watched never will Would you expect the following from a small UK show you paid to watch (yes/no/kind of) - Pyrotecnics?: n/a - Good looking stage/entranceway?: n/a - Storylines/angles?: n/a - Quality wrestling?: n/a How far would you travel for a wrestling show, whether WWE or British?: To see WWE I would go to an american event, I would also like to go & see a live Japanese event. How much would you be willing to pay up to for both a WWE and UK show?: I would pay as mush as need be (within limits) to see a live show like a WM or a royal rumble. Who is your favourite commentator of all time, and why?: Jim Ross before he half lost the plot because he always made even the most boring match seem better. I was also a huge fan of Bobby Heenen & Jesse Ventura. Have you ever taken part in an e-fed?: Tried breifly with some success but don't have the time. What is your favourite match of all time, and why?: Bret Hart VS Owen Hart at WM X for the great story it told or the First WWF lader match with Shawn & Razor from same event because it made the IC title seem as important as the World one. What is your favourite storyline of all timr, and why?: The Bret / Owen fued because it was giving so much time to play out. What match would you like to see, that's not yet ever happened?: Obviously it can never happen but Owen Hart VS Tito Santana Would you like to watch more varieties of wrestling if it was available to you?: Of Course Ever dreamt of being a wrestler?: not really I know I don't have the body /stamina for it. (I'm too small like spike dudly small.) Ever trained to be a wrestler?: Nope Are you proud to be a wrestling fan?: Hellllll yeah

I am on Island number Three in Verdant Airfield stuck on Flying School. (Bank, Bank I said Bank, what Cliff?)

Hellll no, one thing though if you don't like this game surely you mean you don't like any GTA gams? as much as this game has added new stuff is it is still similar to the other 2 ps2 GTA games.

Ok I look forward to doing it then. My lungs have only gone up once so next play I will do some swimming.

so you did the mission involving underwater stuff then? Tell me how much water time do you need before you can start the mission?

Tajiri san they already have made more ring sequels in US, the next one is out any day now.

I also managed to do the driving one & left the other one, i have now completed all the 'club' missions & am doing the ones for the oriental bloke but I m stuck because one mission can't be done until you have enough underwater exp.

There is a film I seen in the flicks a few weeks ago called 'Save the green planet'. It is a film about a man who may be either a/mad or b/is mankinds saviour from an alien invasion. To say more would spoil the plot but if you like oriental films I sugggest you check this out if it is still showing anywhere near you.

I am also stuck on these exact two missions & they are frustating as hell esp the driving one.

GTA: SA is a 2 player game Yes for those that didn't know 2 people can do hidden missions in the game. there are several hidden mission icons that unlock 2 player mode but the mode only lasts as long as the mission. Here are the first Two that I have found. 1 Behind 'Big Smokes' house it's hard to find & is not exactly behind the house but it is close by. 2-directly opposite a hospital / Ambulance in a smalltown in the first area. (Access before you open the bridges.) While typing this the towns name ecsapes me but it is the only small town in the first area with a hospital so look at your map.

To get back to the original point of this thread I think Austin & Hogan (& possibly a few surprises?) will be Via Sat feed only. I think Foley may actually be there live though.

Who is posting under my name pretending to be me?

I second that ask Greenberg should be in here, whoever he is he created a great thread. (*bribe paid in full)

Personally I think WWE is going up & down at the moment. Raw has being good almost every week since the Rumble & The Raw & both brand PPV's have being either good or great. Then of course theres Smackdown & SD only PPV's which are fast vanishing down the tiolet.

I know The Entire Dublin show I was at was taped but that does not mean they will show all the footage.

Yes there has. One example would be Kane. Still Booker deserves a run more then most. Well either him or RVD.

Yes I agree Joe & it sucks.

Now why did I start this thread again? Oh yes to mention that Booker T was returning... ...Get's back on topic when will the 5 time 5 time champ become the 1 time 1 time WWE champ?

Booker T is over because he has the talent to be over + he has the fan support. Rikishi is over because of ... well let's just say he is over.

Sucky wrestling Can't say I agree. So he has a limited moveset so Does Brock Lesner, Goldberg & co & it does not stop them being good wrestlers. No T is a good wrestler.

Booker T has being booked (No pun intented) with Kane at a House show in a few weeks. Nice to see him back. So could a TV Kane fued be in his future. I hope so.
