Jenalysis Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It's kind of scary how many people grew up with this place. I first started posting to this board in the mid to late-90s from RSPW. So yeah, half my life now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobholly138 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Whatever happened to BeanFriedPork? Anyone remember him? Yeah he around at RSPW as well. Just one day stopped showing up. Wasn't banned or anything. I don't remember when I started reading here. I know I started because the most awful posters on RSPW complained about it. Figured it had to be good reading if it was annoying those fools. Had to be around late 2000, early 2001. No one has seen or heard from Beans since 2007.

Tromatagon Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Oh shit. He was Chris Benoit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 That makes me think of the couple of years I was over at ProWrestling.com. There was a guy on there who called himself Benoit Mark. Very nice, very knowledgable on wrestling and didn't mind explaining stuff to us dummies. I also wondered if he ever came over here at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 So no trusting Billy Joel or Elton John or Chris Paul? *gasp* Or. . .LeBron James? OH NOEZ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronMLuke Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Also was Gonzalez finally staked? If so, point me to what caused it. Need a laugh. He probably wouldn't be gone if it actually contained laughs. Someone mentioned EastcoastJ earlier. His story about accidently playing racist porn at college is still one of the funniest stories someone has told here. Just read that thread. You were right, it wasn't funny. Just sad.

JonnyLaw Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I remember finding The Other Arena first. That was an awful mistake. This is my home...my comfortable, contentious home. Exactly. The Other Arena was like a board of Buzz Killingtons discussing wrestling. They mentioned here, I think, I check it out, and it's a bunch of dudes talking about how everything started going to shit after Mid-Atlantic Wrestling, and I said "I'm home~!" I started out in the AOL Grandstand forums, then followed people over to tOA. Once Travis left, things seems to fall into buzz killington mode (they ruined my ability to enjoy the lord of the rings trilogy), and I migrated here.

Tromatagon Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Man. I started out at the Grandstand but moved over to the Sportsguy forums. Bill Simmons has come a long way from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wondered if he ever came over here at some point. Ha, I used to moderate there for awhile. It was the first site I found when I got online., and I used the name Rusty Brooks. BenoitMark was such a douchebag, but to be fair, after the murders he completely gave up his Benoit worship and would rant about how Benoit was a monster and deserved to burn in hell. He did come over here for a bit with his "I'm the smartest guy in the room" shit, got into a fight with Kevin Cook where both guys got a time out, then went back over to PW.com to start a thread about how awful DVDVR was.

bobholly138 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I found this place in 2000 I think. Thanks to RSPW. Never posted much. I remember the porn folder. Back when people would post audio rips of shoots and a badly failed RSPW invasion of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh. My interactions with the guy were all good--never recall him getting into arguments with anyone, but I didn't follow wrestling as closely as many there. I *think* I remember you from there, Johnny and don't recall anything bad. You're always cool with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
