Wrestling Gone Wrong


You know it's all fake, right?
- Well, fake in the sense that these wrestlers really don't hate eachother? Or that these storylines really aren't real? Well, obviously. Though, it's not fake in the sense that the maneuvers are painless. Plenty of dive, drops and chops are full contact. Though the art of wrestling has always been a mix of combat and entertainment. In short, you're not actually trying to hurt your "opponent".

How did you get interested in wrestling?
- Wrestling was something a handful of kids I knew watched, but it hadn't gotten big yet until the late '90s. My interest in all the personalities that would hit the ring in the WWE (or then, WWF) had been growing since I can remember. By the time "The Monday Night War" was going on, I was still young, not even a pre-teen, but I was a big fan. I didn't get "smarky" until I hit 14 or so. Back then I ofcourse had alot more passion towards wrestling, maybe because I was young and so interested or because it took a bit more work to find out about things that were going on backstage or in Japan.

Who is your favorite wrestler?
- I don't have one, really. It'd be easier to ask me who would be my favorite in a certain promotion, but that's more than likely to change within a few weeks.

Do you like MMA at all?
- I do. Though I am a bit annoyed with "Cage Fighting" fans and generally badly booked UFC cards. No more than I am disgusted with alot of casual wrestling fans, though. I do however, follow promotions such as AFFLICITION, Pancrase and DREAM. Aswell as try to catch Ultimate Fighter whenever it's on.

Do you like any non-wrestling video games?
- None that I've been too into. I do remember enjoying some MGS titles and a handful of fighting games. I can't say I've ever been interested in Halo or Final Fantasy, though.

So, are you a gamer?
- Compared to most who frequent Dtoid, no. Nor do I really consider myself a "gamer". I've never sat outside of a Game Stop hours before it's opening to get ahold of a new game, I'm not a loyalist to any console nor have I ever been worried of the direction a company of video game producers are taking. I have however waited countless hours on the phone for tickets to a wrestling event, given my money to wrestling promotions through buying merch and have been worried of the direction a promotion was taking. The go-between me and a gamer was ofcourse, playing wrestling games. Much like most gamers have been playing video games from a young age and spent countless hours on a certain game, I too have, aswell, just under the wrestling games genres.

Do you ever read any other Dtoid blogs? (Ones that don't pertain to wrestling)
- Yes, I usually just like interesting and just very well written write ups.

What's your favorite wrestling game?
- The ones that I've put hours upon hours into are: WWF Super WrestleMania, WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game, WCW vs NWO: Revenge and Fire Pro Returns.

What happened to all those older blog post you made?
- When I fist came to Dtoid, I posted a few blogs mainly reviews on some arcade wrestling games and I remember a New Japan Pro Wrestling game for WonderSwan. Along with reviews on episodes of TNA Impact! and WWE RAW. Long story short, I ended up removing all them after not updating the blog for a while.

Hulk Hogan returns and so does KilledBySmarks' blog KilledBySmarks | 9:06 PM on 12.03.2009 3 comments

Incase you have been living under rock, you might have not heard about Hogan's divorce and his new girlfriend or the fact that the Hulkster is coming back to the ring. Yes, that's correct, the 60-something-year-old most recognized face in wrestling is infact making a comeback to the squared circle. I only wonder how much less is he going to do in the ring now that he's aged so much. I also wonder what this will do for the promotion that he's going to be wrestling for, TNA has gone from being the little promotion that could, to be being that promotion that you hope will eventually change for the better, to now being WCW 2.0. I also wonder if TNA will make use of Hogan with their NJPW working agreements and have him wrestle Chono again. I then cringe at the fact that Hogan might have his last match in TNA. In the meantime, who will Hogan face? AJ Styles? That might be interesting, what with Style's being TNA's champ. Samoa Joe? I don't think I want to see Hogan no-sell Joe's moveset. Kurt Angle? Meh, alright. Jeff Jarrett? No, no way. Though it's inevitable, along with other terrible combination like Hogan V.S. "The Boss" Bobby Lashley or Hogan VS Matt Morgan. Then again, let's face it, it isn't 1998 anymore, so really who wants to see Sting V.S. Hogan again, not to mention, said match wasn't anything special, the build up is what made it. Which leads me to look at TNA's creative team, that isn't doing anything that worthwhile. Then again, what else is new? I mean, really. Every episode of Impact thus far has been "DID WE MENTION? HULK HOGAN'S COMING". During every promo, every interview, every video package and now inbetween matches. Hopefully TNA doesn't do what they with Kurt Angle, when he first appeared. Making everything based on him, I nearly remembered people calling TNA, "Total Nonstop Angle".
