Talk Wrestling Online User Profile: davidfight

I’ve decided to take a different tact in doing my profile. I’m not going to write, how many sugars I have in my tea or what my favourite food is. I’m just going to write myself a series of questions and answer them – thus conducting my own interview and creating my profile in the process. I like to think of this as a good idea.

So where are you from?
I live in Slough, which is twenty minutes out of London in England in the UK.

How long have you been watching wrestling for?
Now, I would say around eighteen years on and off.

So what have you got to do with the Wrestling industry?
Nothing. I’m just a fan that enjoys sharing my thoughts with like-minded individuals and respects any wrestler that steps into the ring, for the passion of doing so. I’d rather just write about it then do it myself. If someone doesn’t agree with opinion then that’s fine; we should all have opinions and they’re entitled to theirs just as I am to mine. They can email their thoughts and there’s nothing stopping them from being a columnist too.

What got you into professional wrestling?
Watching it on Sky at the age of eight; watching the Hulkster taking on the Giant at Wrestlemania 3 is one of my fondest memories of wrestling – unbelievable presence that they both processed and their bigger than life characters that they portrayed on screen, was impressive. I think the characters of the eighties really brought my attention to the show – it was a real-life cartoon and you don’t get that watching any other TV show.

What has been your favourite PPV to date?
Today’s PPV’s lack  something; I’m not quite sure whether it’s the build-up to matches and whether today’s wrestlers lack much of a character arc, or whether it’s more of a spectacle these days (or it could be that I’m gettin’ old and believe that the show was better in yesteryears – I don’t know). I do prefer the late eighties and early nineties shows. I would say, ‘Summerslam 91’ – the match that really stood out was Mr Perfect vs Bret Hart, when Bret won the title for the first time... the match was brilliant.

So your favourite wrestler?
Triple H in 2000; I seriously wanted to be that guy. He was spectacular in the ring and had ring presence like no other. Technically he was very sound and had a great character – and for me, it’s all about character depth.  Plus he was sleeping with Stephanie McMahon, his bosses daughter – how can you not respect the guy. He took his chances and he ran with it – fair play to him.

Least favourite?
Today, it can only be the one and only, Dave Batista. Does this guy have any talent other than being just a big guy? Seriously, I don’t know what Vince’s obsession is with big guys but this guy is just plain abysmal. I went to a show in Springfield, Illinois in July and the fans there absolutely hated him and were quite literally booing him out of the building. How can the WWE not see how poor this steroid monster is?

So, favourite match?
Erm... Randy Savage vs Ricky Steamboat at Wrestlemania 3. Truly an amazing match! The fluency of the match, timings and the emotion involved - they stole the show, quite easily. I remember watching a shoot interview with Steamboat and he said that Savage mapped out the whole match; you can tell it was that good.

Most underrated Wrestler of all-time?
‘Dynamite Kid’ Tommy Billington. I have some DVD’s of all his early work with Tiger Mask, Stampede and Japan work and wow, what can you say except that he was ten years ahead of his time. He was truly an innovative individual who should have held much more than just the tag championship.

What would you like the future of wrestling to be like?
I’m really, really hoping that British Wrestling takes off soon. There’s enough talent out there, it’s just a case of someone investing and selling the production to get a good TV slot (not one on the fight channel !). I honestly believe that we could potentially have a prime-time wrestling product if we look to develop others already in the industry. It’s a shame that all these people (and there are lots) choose to promote a show but have no knowledge and background of doing so, and this serves as a contradiction in doing so. If they want to get involved then they should educate themselves in the market and work their way through the ranks at an existing promotion. Vince McMahon himself didn’t become Vince McMahon overnight. He had to work from the bottom of his Dads Company, why should it be different for anyone else.

I would also like to see TNA become more competitive with the WWE, they’re starting to get there but they need a little more of a push. As far as I’m concerned the writing of Impact is better than Raw, but they just need better exposure to put themselves on level with them and a little more star quality.

What do you do in your spare time?
I like to write and have written a number of screenplays and teleplays. I’ve had a couple scripts optioned by a British television company and hope to one day, become a full-time screenwriter.  I’m a big fan of comedy, especially the likes of Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Carr.

Why david-fight?
Well, my names David and enjoy doing Martial Arts. Plus I’m also a big fan of MMA too.

So there you go that’s me in a simple format, that’s quite easy to read (I hope). If you have comments or want to make any criticism over anything I’ve written as I’m some will (remember, we’re all entitled to our opinions though) then please email me.
