Hello everyone,
I'm Adam, i'm 26 years old and I work as a Retail Manager and a Professional Wrestling commentator (although I tend to keep the last one quiet).
I was a long time lurker, reading mainly the retro forums and decided to sign up because I love the 'post everytime you get anything retro' thread, as I currently am spending way more money than i'm earning due to a horrible accident in my retro games room a few weeks ago.
Basically, I had a small electrical fire, causing over £2000 worth of damage (loss of Sony 32" CRT, which i'll never be able to replace, Sony laptop, W800i phone, Sega Saturn, Japanese N64, PAL Dreamcast, Neo-Geo CD, PC Engine Duo and a few other machines and LOADS of games). The insurance company said it was lucky my living room setup didn't catch fire, as losing a PS3 (and I quote) "would be much worse than losing all those old machines". I actually wanted to cry. And kill him. Dead.
So, as I now rush out buying things I had before and many things I didn't, I thought I might be able to contribute something to the forums along the way (plus, I do play new games too).
...so if anyone sees a PCE Duo/Duo-R/Duo-RX or Virtual Boy going cheap, spare this down on his luck man a thought.

How could I get into that? I trained for a bit down with Mark Sloan a good few years back but gave up due to life commitments. I can cut a promo with the best of them, son.
If you're interesed, let me know, we often have open days. Who else was in your class when you trained?

I only attended a few sessions down in the Portsmouth gym. Flatliner was there one time (lol I genuinely believe he is insane), and a couple of other lads who went on to do reasonably well if I remember. I had hair when I was there, and wasn't as fat.
Sadly my in-ring days are probably over (at 27 - sobs). Plus I live in Saaarfhaaampton so my chances of a regular trip to Donny are slim, mate. Shame - Nigel Mcguinness is fricking awe-suurm.
I would be better in a managerial or colour commentary role I reckon. Hang on - you aren't that Anthony whotsit whatsit who does color, are you?

You should find a school near you (and anyway, its never too late to train again, Batista didn't start until he was 30-odd), most offer some form of Manager training, no idea on the easy route to commentary however, I just sort of fell into it by accident. I'm also a heel manager, I manager current 1PW Openweight Champion James Wallace (the former Jay Phoenix).
You should come to 1PW Invincible, August 18th at the Doncaster Dome [/end plug], where McGuinness is facing Darren Burridge 2/3 falls. No, thankfully i'm not Anthony Kingdom James, he was released quite a while back.

LOL funny how people fall into things by accident, innit? I fell into being involved with videogames and this website by total accident after an impulse retro games purchase. Now I bloody write about games for magazines and stuff. But being involved in the wrasslin has always been an ambition of mine. You are a lucky man.
