About Dale »

Born in 1981 i started out as any young boy in the 80's baseball was god's gift to america, Football was pretty cool and basketball was next on my list of important things.... but one thing trumped these wonderful sports, Professional Wrestling. i remember watching avidly early on in the age of hulk hogan running wild on wwe(then wwf) I was watching through thick and through thin, the monday night wars, owen hart's death, the eddie guererro tributes, the chris benoit tribute show, the rise of tna, I have been a fan for over 20 years of professional wrestling, and i personally feel its high time the fans get back the same effort they put into making as manyshows that happen a year. my thirst for a good wrestling show is growing with every gimmick thats ressurected for nostalgic value. I am a Smark and I feel like I am at war with promoters. my opinion is venomous. I am not hard to please but I do grade the content i watch with utmost criticism. Welcome to Professional Wrestling As I See It.

Favorite Coaches

Jonathan "Coach" Coachman
All Time Sports Moment

During Baseballs steroids hearings a professional wrestler flies off the handle and Destroys his legacy in a single weekend. its not a positive moment in sports but one of the most memorable in recent years.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Wrestlemania 24 and AlCS Game 7 2007 both rank high on my list.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

23 hrs it took for people to go from feeling bad for chris benoit and paying tribute to him, to seeing the mess he made of his legacy and the sport of professional wrestling in his final moments.
Ruth or Mays?

mays
Unitas or Montana?

montana
Jordan or Russell?

this one is hard... Jordan because he drew more attention to basketball.
Gretzky or Orr?

Orr
Pele or Maradona?

Pele is one of the most well known players in any sport period.
Federer or Sampras?

sampras
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger much like jordan did for basketball, revolutionized how people look at golf.
Petty or Earnhardt?

neither Jarrett all the way.
Schumacher or Senna?

senna because based on batman forever nothing named schmacher can achieve greatness.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Big 10

What is the best way to push a young superstar? By giving a MITB contract, or letting him win a Royal Rumble match?
