I started playing with Legos again...

Well you might aswell go the whole way now. Go buy the lego Star Wars game, visit the LegoLand themepark, get the Monty Python Holy Grail DVD with the lego Camelot dance extra and watch various lego animations on youtube.com

I haven't used any lego for many years. There's actually a lego store by me, been awhile since I passed by it though but I think it has a wall with separate boxes for different parts in various colours, pretty nice and colourful sight.

I re-got into technics lego a couple years back - not the new bionicle crap - real fuschin' technics lego (cogs and wheels and everything) where you gotta use your brain and mad skill - I had to dig my old collection (three boxes full) out of my dad's addic, and it was awesome ~ I created all kinds of inventions, my favorite being a six-legged walking ant-like-thing - they should really bring that stuff back - get them kids' synaps' fired up!

Bests, Rockefeller

Oh, anyone wanna add me on myspace I'm "http://www.myspace.com/rockefeller3d" ~ just send me note telling me you're from this forum ~

Ohh then i dont even mind admiting to the fact that i got a HUGE technik lego tow truck for my birthday.

I wont mention the fact that i have a big blenket chest full of the evil litte stones not to mention the 4 boxes with sorted lege technic stones shivers. and i do like to try my hand at building some things a few times a year

My roommate and I considered building a table or pool table from legos to take up some extra space in our living room. With this peer encouragement, maybe we will...

Hey, I would just like to point out for the record ... that grown men watch old WCW payperview events. I do. Just as long as they're before all of that NWO garbage. I like the ole NWA/WCW merger days. 91 and 92 were full of good memories for me. Sting vs. Lex Luger at Superbrawl ... good times.

Wow - cool - A Danish invention getting a lot of attention by non-Danish people. That's awesome! I myself have played a great deal with Lego when I was a kid (the old Lego and not the whole bionicle-stuff and such) and I built a lot of cool stuff along with my buddy at the time. We built a little city, a bowling alley, an airport and other great things, and we had a great deal of fun doing that

Also, another one of my smaller passions - Pro Wrestling - is being discussed. Although I'm not all that keen on the whole WCW-thing. I have always watched WWF/WWE when I was younger, and I always thought it was awesome. For me the days from 1991-1994 were the best with WWF but I also loved the Attitude-era where the Ministry of Darkness roamed in WWF/WWE and the use of stables were extensive I'm still watching WWE to this day.

Well, might as well tell the truth since we all seem to be opening our hearts here at Tex Murphy confession time.

While I don't necessarily play with Legos, I have sat many an hour on the floor with my granddaughter assembling this and building that. Course, getting back up off the floor is an experience in itself, but I reall enjoy those precious moments.

As an aside, I liked the WCW many years ago, but I was (notice: WAS) a huge WWF fan through the 80's and early 90's. In fact, I took my #2 son and his buddy to see Wrestlemania III live at the Silverdome back in 1987. Featured match? Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant. Incredible is all I will say. And worth every penny!

Ah yeah - the record high attendance of 93.173 people watching the show in Pontiac, Michigan. It was quite an event even though I was quite a little kid then (6 years old or so), but I remember watching it later on and it was a spectacular show indeed. I envy you, JTOG ... I would very much like to be able to go to a WWE show but unfortunately I'm thousands of miles away for that and I'm not even sure I'm able to go to a show when they once in a while come to Germany. I guess I have to figure out something at some points

I went to two different WWE Shows and too many ECW house shows to count. It was really cool meeting all the stars of today before they were household names. I met and talked to New Jack, Rob Van Dam, Tommy Dreamer, Tajiri (who really does speak english rather well), and Raven.

I went to see the very first PPV King of the Ring that Bret Hart won when I was little, and about when I was 16, I went to see an episode of Monday Night RAW. I remember it was the one where Mr. McMahon hired Shawn Michaels to be the commissioner of RAW (God that was a very cool surprise, as he'd been off TV for a while), and then Shawn promptly turned heel in the main event by cracking X-Pac over the head with a chair. I kept that tape of that event because I could see myself in the crowd very well at least three times.

I don't watch it much anymore, but I at least try to keep tabs on who has what title, and such. It's just not as entertaining when there isn't competion breathing down each other's throats.

Well I first started watching wrestling in 1997. So I'm really into those years specifically between 1997 and 1999. I think it was after that when I quit watching...it had turned to true crap, but I was still disapointed when it went off the air.

But even though I didnt watch it religiously before that time, I still enjoy seeing the matches. I have often dreamed of them putting WCW back on the air from the starting point 0f 1991 or around there and just playing it all the way through. Or put them out on DVD, that would be insanely expensive, if they even still have all the tapes

As of right now I have

Great American Bash 1989- not seeing too many familiar faces there.

Halloween Havoc 1991- which has a great match with a steel cage and a chair of torture. Sting, Big Van Vader, Diamond Stud (Scott Hall) Steiner Brothers, Cactus Jack. Few others.

Bash at the Beach 1997- A great six man cruiserwieght match. Ric Flair vs. Roddy Piper wich is great, cause Piper wins.

World War 3 1997- A great 60 man battle royal with three rings.


Classic WWF was okay, but when you start getting into the mid 90's it blows.

Such great memories..

I've never much been into wrestling, but a friend of mine was a writer for WWE(F) for about 6 months two years ago. He has really interesting stories about that whole experience.

As a point of interest, Jim, far be it for me to tell you how to talk about your kids, but maybe calling your second son your "#2 son" isn't the most esteem-building thing you can say.... I mean, my parents always called me by my brother's name, and even THAT got annoying. I can imagine how the poor lad must feel being referred to as "#2".

hehehe

I can tell you what I know, and it isn't really good. Yes, all the tapes do still exsist. All the programming still exsists. But it sets with a man who I don't think is going to release them in their entirety and that is Mr. McMahon. He'll more than likely crank out DVD after DVD on old timers and use the old matches as DVD extra filler, as he has been doing. If WWE started releasing old WCW Payperviews they'd have to see a return on their investment, and I don't think they'd see any monetary value in trying that. *I* would buy it, but who else would? The best you can get is WWE 24/7 On demand channel, and Online WWE 24/7. And those are match by match basis. Unless you can get the old payperviews the old fashioned way (The way you have ), I'd be willing to bet we'll never see them again.
