I would say my biggest weakness is that I try too hard, and that I care too much. So sometimes I need the help of a well-trained team to get me through the workday! It's never easy in these hustle-and-bustle times.

It depends on the circumstances, but I think Rusty would take him in a straight up match.
Miz isn't important to the future of mainstream wrestling, because nobody is important in mainstream wrestling. He is valuable to MY ENJOYMENT of mainstream wrestling, however, and I think it's great that he's come so far. Dumb racist Parma yokel or not, the guy has an obvious passion for pro graps, and we need more people like that (and fewer Bobby Lashleys) in the business. -
Marémoto. Wait, why do I have a favorite radio drama?

You would not; it is delicious.

Honestly, I think it's going okay. My interest started to die (probably because I started getting paid to write about it), but a healthy mix of Japan, niche American indies (just CHIKARA at this point), and (surprisingly) Mexico kept me afloat. I found myself loving this week's Raw, I find myself talking like Sheamus while I make coffee (DABLYA DABLYA E CHAMPION), and I love the shit out of Wade Barrett. So yeah, we're doing okay.

What I like more is the availability of content. When I was a kid, it was live events, TV, and illegally taped PPVs from my relatives. That was it. When I was a younger teen, it was VHS tape trading through pen pals in wrestling magazines and stuff. Now I can go on the internet, type "Tiger Jeet Singh," and download about a billion Tiger Jeet Singh matches with no effort.
What I don't like about wrestling now compared to back then was the focus on competition. People fighting for championships, trying to beat each other, being engaging by being real people put into a situation. WWF made everything cartoony, then they made everything predictable. -
Ruth Toskala!

1. I'm a sucker for that elimination tag match from Crowning, as well as both tag gauntlets. Ladder War is probably the most epic thing I'll ever write. The Remain Alive elimination tag is good too.
2. Slyclops IX vs. "The Hybrid" Ben Crane, followed closely by Brutal Chambers vs. Whoomp Del Rio with like three months of proper build. -
Gretchen Mol (born November 8, 1972) is an American actress.

A*P*E (1976) is a great one. A 3-D King Kong rip-off from Korea starring the mom from Growing Pains. Miyazaki's "Panda! Go Panda!" is pretty hard to find, and I'm partial to my copy of Michel Gondry's "I've Been 12 Forever."

Lady Charlotte Ducrex, because she is Gretchen Mol, and Gretchen Mol is a quick may to make something my favorite.

1989 until about July of '90. Flair/Steamboat was going on, Flair and Funk had their I Quit match (on free TV), Hogan vs. Warrior in the WWF, the All Japan Women start tearing it up, Tsuruta Gordy and Hansen are your Triple Crown Champions, and the Misawa/Kawada/Kobashi/Taue crew starts to rise. Cap it off with the Great American Bash '90 and you've got a hell of an 18 months.

Assuming this question means "if you could date a celebrity and had no substantial relationship going on in real life," I'd say Hayley Williams, the cute girl from Paramore. Gorgeous, shoot-dorky in an uppity kind of way, and accidentally naked on the Internet.

Jessica Mounts at the ripe old age of 18. I had a couple of kiss opportunities before that, but had chickened out, including one ruined by my math teacher. The "where" was outside of her house in Salem, Virginia, literally the day after my high school graduation.
