Big Dave says:
When I was a wee child my best mate was big into it so I watched with him and then about four years ago I had a big row with my then girlfriend stayed up all night and happened to see Backlash 2000 that got me back into it.
MTW says:
Is WWE the only company you have followed?
Big Dave says:
I caught the very tail end of ECW and tried to watch WCW but hated it too much to bother
MTW says:
Are you still enthusiastic about the sport today?
Big Dave says:
Not really it does not hold my interest anymore but I still read the news on Smash, not really sure why!
MTW says:
What is it that you think is stopping you from being interested in it?
Big Dave says:
I was watching last years Wrestlemania and half way through HBKs match I just thought "I can't be arsed" never watched more then 10mins since.
MTW says:
Really? Thats an odd match to decide to tune out of. Was there something specific about it that made you think that?
Big Dave says:
No, I was amused by HBKS entrance pyro and then suddenly my bed seemed a lot more appealing, I would like to see Beniots championship match but since its got HHH in it I might be forced to skip that.
MTW says:
Nah dont let that put you off, its a great match. Okay moving away from wrestling now. What do you do for a living?
Big Dave says:
I work at Blockbuster, but I'm starting Uni in September.
MTW says:
What will you be studying?
Big Dave says:
War & Security Studies at Hull Uni,
MTW says:
What made you decide to do that?
Big Dave says:
I found the course by accident I had set my mind on modern history and then when I saw this course I was hooked, I'm a big old war geek!
MTW says:
How long have you been interested in that?
Big Dave says:
Most of my life but especially the last few years, I'm a wargamer so I read a lot about the periods we play.
MTW says:
Wargames. Heres a geek question for you then, whats your army type and how many points is it worth?
Big Dave says:
Space Marines around 2000pts, in historical wargaming there is no points, but I have a massive amount of WW2 stuff.
MTW says:
Big Daves Blood Angels is it?
Big Dave says:
Dark Angels,
MTW says:
Ooh the green ones isnt it? lol, what are you hoping to do then once you finish university?
Big Dave says:
Head to London and get a job in the Government, maybe in the security services. Yes Green!
MTW says:
What do you like to do for fun then, besides wargaming?
Big Dave says:
I roleplay, yup I'm a massive geek. Then theres the heavy drinking, oh yeah and spending time with my girlfriend.
MTW says:
How long have you been with your girlfriend?
Big Dave says:
We were together 3 weeks before she dumped her boyfriend and two weeks legit!
MTW says:
You cad. Like RIJ you're a big Leeds fan. How are you coping with them getting relegated this season?
Big Dave says:
It was harsh but deep down we all knew it was coming, my mum was crying when we lost to Bolton it all got a bit emotional.
MTW says:
Any bold predictions for Leeds's next season?
Big Dave says:
Coming back up with a young aggresive team, hopefully as champions
MTW says:
And on to the smash questions. How did you come to find Smash?
Big Dave says:
I clicked on a link on Litas old website, that sent my to Mikes old newsletter which lead my to old Smash.
MTW says:
Do you feel Smash has changed a lot since you first joined?
Big Dave says:
Loads , when I started I was one of them newbies who was ignored unless they said something really outlandish, I think that these days the newbies are more welcome especially with the decline of so many old hands.
MTW says:
Whats been some of your favourite memories?
Big Dave says:
The stables fiasco, Fonzgate and good old MMarks mental rants
MTW says:
Whats your favourite Smash Controversy?
Big Dave says:
Nothing tops Woodys attack on Inno, but Fonzgate comes close.
MTW says:
What were your feelings on those at the time?
Big Dave says:
I missed the bulk of the Woody thing but read it afterwards, thats the sort of shit that no one has the right to say to anyone, especially not over an internet forum, as for Fonzgate at the time I think we all got a bit over the top but looking back it was funny.
MTW says:
What was your favourite Rock88 gimmick?
Big Dave says:
I think I liked the orignal accept no imitations Rock88 best.
MTW says:
Out of all the banned losers, who was your personal favourite?
Big Dave says:
Scop, he made me laugh with the babbling bullshit he used to sprout and his recent return was a comedy goldmine!
MTW says:
If the LG Hooker Curse could claim one member of Smash of your choice, who would it be and why?
Big Dave says:
Hushyer (spelling) because he annoyed me the other day, but it would be best if it claimed LG himself!!!
Big Dave says:
Oh I've just noticed RIJs answears are the same as mine!
MTW says:
I was just about to say that lol. Speaking of RIJ he went into detail about you and his feud with the fonz. Whats the current state of that feud as far as you're concerned?
Big Dave says:
Since his recent deactivation and return it seems to have returned to the happy state of just the odd harmless dig in passing.
MTW says:
What did you make of the whole Clarky leaving/Fonz leaving then coming back stuff from a few weeks ago?
Big Dave says:
Fonz gets a lot of slack but he is part of the furniture around here, like that tatty old chair you just can't get arounf to throwing out. Clarkey leaving was a sad day for Smash, I think he will be back sometime.
MTW says:
Whats your opinions on the moderators here on Smash?
Big Dave says:
I like them all, I was never keen on Sam but she was finally de-modded so thats good, It would be nice if they made Mtank a mod, that kid works hard he deserves it! (sorry couldn't resist!) LOL
MTW says:
I dont care what mtank says, those jokes are still funny lol. Well, we're almost done. All thats left is the name game. Everyone knows the rules yadda yadda so Big Dave, are you ready?

Big Dave says:
Everytime she arrives on Smash people act like its the second coming of Christ, also I found her to be a proper little know it all I've experianced anything and everything you have git, Here modding was annoying too, she's show up once in a blue moon and then go crazy editing everything she could to make a show of doing something. Oh yeah and see was a big old pimp for her own site.
Big Dave says:
Thats it I think
Big Dave says:
