Hi guys, just a little thing I want to start. Basically you write your favourite wrestler, favourite match (doesn't have to include you favourite wrestler), favourite federation and time period (eg WCW 1995-1997).
Ok so my favourite wrestler is Shawn Michaels, when he came back in 2002 he reminded of all his older days and he is without a shadow of a doubt the greatest performer ever to step foot in the WWE ring or another ring for that matter. However, I am also fond of The Rock for his promos outside of the ring which could never fail to make me laugh whether he was a babyface or heel.
My favourite matches (I have 3 that always stick out in my mind). Shawn Michaels vs Triple H Street Fight Summerslam 2002, Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker Wrestlemania 25, Jeff Hardy vs Undertaker Undisputed Championship Raw 2002 (I loved this match).
My favourite federation has always been the WWE. People moan, and I do sometimes, but I still follow it through all the years no other federation, in my eyes, will ever be as good as it. My favourite period in the WWE, really I have two, but would have to be around 1998-2001, a close second would be around 2003-2005.

Very interesting...
My favourite wrestlers as I have already stated are CM Punk, Benoit, Guerrero, Styles, HBK and Daniels but if I had to given an honest I'd have to give it to Shawn Michales too I mean who else can you say has put on 5 Star Matches almost everywhere he went? My favourite match was the Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania XX for the World Heavyweight Championship between Triple H, Chris Benoit and Shawnm Michaels. It had a brillliant story throughout the match with great spots, amazing edge-of-your-seat suspense adn when Benoit won I marked. To top it all off Eddie Guerrero came out to celebrate with him... Still is one of the most amazing images to date...
However I do need to give a shout out to the Edge vs. Mick Foley Hardcore Match at WrestleMania 22 and the Survivor Series Match in 2005 between Team SmackDown and Team Raw. Both matches ere epic nad had a brilliant story arc and script. Although I do always wonder why Orton can beat Edge and Triple H in 2004, HBK in 2003 and HBK in 2005 yet get squashed in his fourth Survivor Series Match in 2006. I mean seriously the man was a beast in his first three yet Team Rated RKO was essntially a prolonged jobbing.They could have at least eliminated the Hardys or CM Punk but it was a shutout and for no reason.... Anyways back to topic:
My favourite federation has always been WWE as i was never around to wath WCW as an actual federation, I dont see ROH regularly enough to submit an opinion and TNA has made a huge mistake bringing in Immortal... I always will reserve second placce for the Attitude Era but my favourite era has to be the pos-attitude in 2003-2005 it was an amazing balance between charisma and wrestling. CM Punk seems to be bringing such an era back. The era holds a place in my heart due to the act that it was during this era I became a hardcore fan watching Orton/Benoit Kane/Benoit Triple H/Orton HBK./Triple H Angle/Guerrero and even HEidenreich/Taker. The entire era was simply amazing...
By the way just to add a little somethingdo any of you remember you're firrst match you watched? Mine was a match between Edge and Essa Rios. I can't quite remember the story of it as it was just an undercard match on Raw but I do remember the two staring each other down in the middle of the ring...

I remember the very first match I watched was the very first hell in a cell match. Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker. What a match and the first appearance from Kane.

Wow... The firsI remember vividly was the Street Fight between Triple H and Michaels... Hell of a match and the post-match assault was pretty cool. No better way ot say "I want a rematch" then to destroy them with a sledgehammer...

Road Warriors would always rank as one of my favorite tag teams. the 4 Horsemen (early years) would be my favorite stable. favorite manager would easily be Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. favorite wrestlers would Austin, Steamboat and Savage.

No matter what anybody says, Steve Austin is deffinately one of the greatest wrestlers ever. I mean he reached out to so many people. Who wouldn't want a best friend like Steve Austin? Who wouldn't want a husband like Steve Austin? Who wouldn't want a father like Steve Austin? He was THE man who every other man wanted to be!!!
