Now that I think about it...I may have captured that and posted it in a chat? DO YOU REMEMBER IF THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED? It looks like it was capped from my old capture software at the time!

My computer says it was last modified March 10, 2003. I certainly didn't capture it myself, but that's all I have for you.

I was around in the old board days when CJC/Rage of Angels & Webweaver would get into really heavy political arguments. I also remember when EDGE was more scatological with his humor.
I always wondered what happened to G_Pac & Janitor/Jim Dandy. The implication had always been is if either of them left, the site would close. Yet, the site is still here.
And I remember the whole Fred/Miss Happy debacle, which I'll stop there. And MikoZuna.
I remember when I took everything so seriously on here.

I've been around for quite a while.

I lurked for a long time(some wish I would go back to lurking ). I posted off and on in the wrestling forum and just read the others back then.

I don't think I've ever lurked, here or anywhere else. Sure, I'll read the occasional post off of a Google search or something, but no long or short term board lurking.. Reading other peoples thoughts without joining in just isn't my style.

As I recall, I made a beeline for a Mick Foley thread as soon as I got to A1, with Torgo defending Foley against some of the other posters (I think a few were Puro's. TY among them, maybe?) who claimed he was responsible for the workers that injured themselves trying to emulate his style. I threw my lot in with his side, because I believed Foley's only obligation was to himself and his career, and he's in no way liable for some idiot that's not smart enough to protect themselves as they try riding the coattails of his success..

Torgo seemed impressed. ^_^

Hey, who was it again that bragged he punched his girlfriend?

That was a real mans man.

Janitor invited me via email, while I was a member at 1Bob. WCW was definitely still happening, so I'm assuming about 1999/2000. Was a member while 1Bob and A1 were both using DC Scripts (still think that was a great type of forum software), then 1Bob died a death when it moved to a new server, and I made this my permanent home.

I remember the front page having links to Edgecrusher's column, NY Girl's column and the archive having Edge's interviews with various wrestling personalities.

Xavier Storm, Rage of Angels, Janitor, G_Pac. Names that are just as memorable as some wrestlers from back in the day, you got so used to seeing them in posts.

Sentra I used to email, because like me, we both liked writing about wrestling (I haven't bothered at all for many a year now) and we set up a couple of sites together with history pieces. Lost touch with him completely after 1Bob though. Didn't know him beyond that really.

He died. I think he was Mazda, right? Someone told me he died. Pretty sad.

Niall · « **Reply #81 on:** February 17, 2012, 02:53:54 PM »

I think he was Mazda, but I want to also say he was sigma909 at one point, either here or on 1Bob, but I really can't remember for sure.

I joined in April '03. Had to join twice because Janitor was still pissed over the A2 mess and wasn't letting everyone join. Used to post in the trivia forum way before that.

Mike Moody. Thought he was a parody account when he started posting, then he eventually went nuts and annoyed everyone. What a goof.

If you think he was bad, you've never seen Johnny Sheer.

My favorite threads used to be Edge's interviews. The best was either Triple H or Hulk Hogan.

The vince mcmahon one was good too.
"Can I have a quarter?" "Why?" "So I can fuck your daughter"

BTW this thread gets MikeyT's Seal of Approval!

I feel like this is at least the third 'reminisce about old a1' in the last year or so, but not sure I've ever participated besides listing gusmahler as a lost treasure.

Got back into wrestling in high school, sadly, thanks to my friends playing WCW vs. nWo World Tour on N64. Eventually found 1wrestling and lurked at a1 from the beginning. Started posting in earnest in 2001. My best memories are from 2003-2006.

There was some solid posting talent for a while:

freakfish
gusmahler
joshua
jaybird
koppokick
pile (please, freebirdstf, spare us)
tillrules
sweetjesusfunk
hidayakamo
heathen
spoiler
tony_soprano (not sure when he really hit his stride)

Definitely blanking on a few more.

A2 was obviously ridiculous. Some of the triggers: (i) Lamb was upset (!) because his Nazi imagery was banned; (ii) upon a discussion of jimmy eat world, the word jew was discovered to have also been banned; (iii) ugly baby; and (iv) a weird social experiment by randazzo and dylan. Peaked with padje and stan running the place, of course.

Mike Moody's run in 2005 was pretty great.

jdw actually posted at a1 a few times!!

TNA has been on the air since 2003. Come on.

Bob Ryder sued Janitor and Chris Cassidy in a Louisiana court. In an incredibly underrated 'that actually happened' moment.

Shawn was pretty terrible.

The crazy duo of kayafaber and kennedy tearing shit up.

PILE tearing Josh Weiner apart because he was in debt and still buying Cubs tickets and jerseys (not sure if that has changed?). The tone was harsh, but necessary.

Not sure if this will work, but the archive has some good snapshots over the years - http://wayback.archive.org/web/20060515000000*/http://www.a1wrestling.com

I hesitate bringing this up (but things seemed to have worked out for him), but Tom falling in love and it not going well. I imagine many of us have been there, but not so publicly.

Terrible question, but if someone tells me how to post htm files somewhere, I can put up irishred going crazy and one of the unfortunate a1 chats from early 2003.

I have files on poochcat, crazydan and mikozuna

I'm fairly sure that I didn't even start us down that road the last time this dude was brought up.

FATSEXY · « **Reply #90 on:** February 18, 2012, 08:46:57 AM »

I really missed out on the entire anti-PILE ordeal. I always liked him. Hell, I like everybody.

I did strongly dislike SJF, though. Spoiled rich kid.

FreebirdSTF · « **Reply #91 on:** February 18, 2012, 08:49:43 AM »

SJF was awesome.

I was friends with SweetJesusFunk on Facebook for awhile but I don't know what happened to him. The last I heard, he had gotten married and living in California.
I'm also friends on Facebook with stratknight and I used to think he hated me or something.

He's always lived in California and he was married while still posting on a1. But thanks for the update?

tony_soprano is SCB, no?

I pissed off PILE a while back because I screwed up the voting he and JA were having in a rap-off or something. Plus he had his "I'm cooler than you" and "I'm too cool for wrestling" style at times. Really didn't have a problem with him though.

I remember Euclid posting hard ass math problems and making me feel like a dumbass

IIRC, didn't his name spring from him being some form of math teacher???
