Favourite wrestler overall would probably be Kurt Angle as I thought he had the full package between look, wrestling ability and charisma.

Most underrated: Dean Malenko, I watch a lot old WCW Nitros and PPVs and Malenko at his peak oozed class in the ring, he's had some incredible matches. The 30 minute match at Hogwild 96 against Benoit is one of my favourites. Obviously the lack of charisma thing held him back in the long run.

Fav Simpsons character: Moe

If I were a wrestler I'd probably use my own name. I'd like to do an Irish American stable along the lines of 'The Full Blooded Italians' without the comedy. A rough crew from Hell's Kitchen NY.

RR: I think Batista will win and maybe it would be the right choice building up to WM.

Taker at Mania I suppose would be a dream if had been a wrestler, especially with the prestige that has developed around the streak in the last decade or so.

Dream Job: A Deck Officer in the Merchant Marine, I love the sea and travelling and have always been fascinated with ships as my Dad at one time did it. The money is good and if you work your way up to Captain in an open sea fleet you're looking at 4-5 months paid leave a year. It's something I'm going to look into at the NMCI as I'm not happy in what I'm currently doing.

I haven't been following the draft unfortunately.

I'd recommend 'Peaky Blinders' for a tv series and 'A Bronx Tale' for a film.

What debut/run has disappointed the most after hearing so much about them or seeing promos?
Like I said when asking the others this question, Preferably not one of the WCW/ECW guys in the Invasion since they were pretty much fubar in comparison to what they were in their previous companies.

What WWE star do you think doesn't deserve the push they're getting and who do you think has a poor gimmick?

Who would you push and how would you push them?

Who that has left WWE would you a)like to see back and b)think will be back

Who from another promotion that you're aware of would you like to see in WWE?

Who's your favourite muppet?

Gimmick you hated at first but it really grew on you?

Best repackaging of a WWE Superstar? Outside the obvious ones like Austin and The Rock.

Nickname where's it from

Bo Dallas for heel and Del Rio for face.

St Pats because of my father and also look out for Crystal Palace because of connections to Croydon.

The name embarrassingly enough comes from this.

1. Ultimo Dragon.

2. Big E Langston. While he way be a great fellow on twitter etc, he hasn't impressed me on tv all. Primo and Epico have a poor gimmick, they're talented guys and it's sad to see them reduced to a going nowhere mid '90's' style gimmick.

3. I'd push Barrett and go back to the bare knuckle British street thug theme,.

4. Prince Devitt.

5. Beaker.

6. The returning Jack Swagger when he aligned with Coulter last year.

7. Hunico as Sin Cara. :pac:

1. I watched Nitro after Cartoon Network became TNT at 9pm on Friday nights. This started around 95 when I was 7.

2. The action in the ring more than anything, I love the ebb and flow of a good wrestling match.

3. I explored a bit when I joined and found the PW forum.

4. I come back because it's well run and provides a good source of wrestling news and discussion. I don't really use any other news sites.

5. Music, soccer, GAA and hill walking and mountaineering. I'm an outdoorsy type.

6. I think the initial nWo run in WCW had the biggest impact on me as a kid who thought it was real. I was always drawn towards heels, I thought those guys at the time were the coolest thing ever.
