Was thinking about this at work today after telling a co-worker about the current status of the Babefest.

I honestly don't know an exact date but I know I've been around here pretty long. Even though a lot of it was lurking...

Some things / people I remember:

Getting together to play Yahoo pool
Euclid, Kurt Angle it's True, CJC when he was Rage of Angels....
Fatty schooling a bunch of dicks on the Wrestling Classics Board in a discussion about (I think it was) early UFC maybe...
Randazzo....
Being a Nancy....
Janitor and GPac (I think Janitor is Prime, right?)
Probably spelling it wrong but Sabumafoo. There was a pic of a bald dude petting a cat that I remember. I remember for a while I though it was Fatty. (Still not entirely sure)

What else am I forgetting???

Prime is Beast. Janitor doesn't exist here. Nor does GPac.

I've been here since DAY ONE*

*sometime shortly after it started, after I wondered where all the good posters went to on 1wrestling.com

What was your name? I thought you were newer?

Prime · « **Reply #6 on:** February 15, 2012, 07:01:53 PM »

Got here just shortly after the site started.

Ok. Beast. Long time no see friend....

Beer_Baron · « **Reply #8 on:** February 15, 2012, 08:08:30 PM »

BigDaddy · « **Reply #9 on:** February 15, 2012, 08:16:40 PM »

What was it? Summer of 2000 or so? I know it was before I moved to Chicago, and that was August of 2001.

2000. A latecomer to 1Dub, and the a slight latecomer to A1, although the time I've been here? Yeah, I'm virtually a charter member.

Hossler708 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 15, 2012, 09:02:31 PM »

I'm remembering old screen names in bits and pieces.

Didn't KAIT become Boogie??
I remember Token Canadian...
John the Baptist was Randazzo, right??

i was mostly a lurker at the start. my original screen name was zombie316. then i left for a bit and when i came back apparently matt had used the name zombiematt or something and so everyone thought i was him for a bit.

If this is taboo, delete it but what happened w/ janitor and Gpac??

I thought Janitor owned the old A1. Yes? No?

Prime · « **Reply #15 on:** February 15, 2012, 10:06:54 PM »

GPac kinda disappeared, as far as I can remember.

As for Janitor, yeah, he owned the old A1. I was taking care of the technical side of things, and Janitor was kind of getting more and more distant from the site. When the a1wrestling.com domain/hosting came up for renewal, he didn't pay for the site and it was taken offline.

We talked and he agreed for me to take over the domain name and the site, but he didn't have any of the usernames/passwords etc needed to do so, so I fired up the A1 Dash Edition and here we are.

I came in around the time JA did.
Yahoo pool was awesome.
JohnnyShear getting banned 500 times.
EDGE's 'interviews' with wrestling personalities.
The A2 fiasco.
Kurt Angle.

Zandrax · « **Reply #17 on:** February 15, 2012, 11:38:07 PM »

I go back to the 1bob days, but got here a few months after it started. I knew TH, Fatty, CJC (wwfmarkcjc), from there.

Some of the things I remember:

-Mark Madden having an account
-BLACK PENIS!
-The A2 fiasco
-Janitor helping break the news about Booker and Page signing with WWE in the WCW Buyout

I've been around since late 2001 or early 2002.

BlackLight · « **Reply #19 on:** February 16, 2012, 12:22:26 AM »

Janitor posts at the Catholic Answers Forum under the name "Jim Dandy."

He did, and he didn't even watch wrestling. His sole purpose of starting A1 was to put Bob Ryder in his place and compete with 1wrestling. I think there was even a lawsuit. lol

Fuck your Presidency. The EDGE/RAGE ticket was robbed due to voter fraud.

Those were the days.

I got into an argument with GPac because he was a lying cunt. He left about exactly then.
