Ladies and gents, old faces and new comers...your great leader has returned!
For the past three weeks, I have led a lonely existance...scraping out a living on sandwiches and coffee, waking up in a bed that's too small finding myself covering in two, sometimes three cats! Pawing and mewing at me to feed them!
Having shed half a stone (that's 7 pounds to you US peeps...and I don't have half a stone to lose, so I am going to be on a power chewing craze for the rest of the week) and returned with every item of clothing I brought with me covered with cat hair...for a person who wears mostly black or dark blue, white cats are a sworn enemy...I have returned!
Routine questions out of the way: was staying with friends...no, it wasn't all that bad...yes, I'm tired as hell...and yes, badly need a hot bath to work out all the knots in my muscles after spending seven or so hours on the road to get home.
I do regret I stayed away for a little longer than I had intended...and so missed my chance to post my reply to our winning of the Most Pointless thread award (which, let's face it, we all knew we were going to be unjustly landed with). And so...here it is anyway, as my "return bwahahaha"!...everyone needs to return with a bwahaha!
Well…thanks for voting for the wrestling thread people. I can’t tell you how warm and fuzzy it makes me to see the population of this forum, common member and administration alike, reducing something that is loved by millions of people across the world to “most pointless thread”, and then hand us a tacky award for it. But thanks all the same.
For receiving this award, I’d like to thank Celti…who told us the forum had no room for an e-fed, yet has made no objection whatsoever to a proposal to host a D&D rpg on the board.
I’d like to thank all the people who’ve come to our thread along the way, to tell us our sport was “fake”, insulting our intelligence (and quite clearly displaying their own…or lack thereof) by seeming to think they were sharing some divine revelation to which we were not privy, and trying to make fun of us for being as passionate about it as we are.
I’d like to thank all the people who’ve started the most trivial, ridiculous, or downright stupid threads that have ever been, and apologise to them for missing out on this prestigious award, simply because a group of people had such a lack of respect that they’d dare consider the great tradition that is professional wrestling as “pointless”.
That they’d show such disrespect to the men and women who give up their health to entertain millions of people across the world. I’m sorry that they’d show such disrespect to men and women who were so passionate about this sport that they end up in wheelchairs…or early retirement…or early coffins.
So, for all that, I’m sorry we got this reward instead of you, because I honestly don’t think we deserve it. However, that being so, I’ll gladly accept it, as I need a new toilet brush.
I
would however, really like to thank the people who participate in the wrestling thread now, and from its very start…I would like to thank those of you who have remained passionate and true to the sport, and have ploughed through all this small minded, arrogant, elitist bigotry that’s been hurled at us, even in the guise of this ridiculous award, from people who then retreat to their discussions about dungeons and dragons, anime, or gardening, that
nobody has bled for,
nobody has suffered for, and
nobody has died for, and that are a great deal less “real” than what people are putting their bodies through on a nightly basis inside a wrestling ring!
I would like to thank the thousands of men and women across the world, who step into the ring for the love of the sport, and hope not only that you all continue to entertain and engross us, but also that I might one day number among you. Each and every one of you works harder in one night than everyone who slapped a vote on this thread will in their entire lives, and for that there aren’t any words that could possible express the gratitude of the few people with enough respect to see it.
As wrestlers and wrestling fans alike, we’ve grown one hell of a thick skin against the stigma this award represents. To many of you, I likely represents a chuckle at our expense and, for the more petty among you (and I’m quite sure the people I mean by that know exactly who they are

) perhaps a slight twinge of satisfaction as you see something you neither know anything about nor have bothered to try, be insulted. To us, however, it’s just another stone in the shoe of a very long journey we’ve been on since we became fans of the sport, and just like every other stone that’s gotten in our way, you can mock us, degrade us, insult everything that the sport and its fans stand for…
….but we’ll still leave you behind, as we move on. And don’t ever think you were more than a tiny prick to the foot.
*takes the award, raises it briefly overhead, and steps down*
Now that that's out of the way...
You'll have to forgive me if I'm a little out of the loop. I haven't had access to either the internet, or any channel showing wrestling for three weeks. I may take a while to get back to my usual hoss blasting, talent loving, tongue flaying self.
Until next time though, yo

Good to be back
