Formerly 'The Japanese Whizzer', happy to be a part of this board. To set expectations, I average one good wrestling nugget of info each year.

You want to change your handle to An Old Pair ...? Or you didn't try to keep your old handle?

Just curious. I think it's best if folks keep their handles, or perhaps their old handle with a "1" (or something like that) at the end, until we get clarification on how the Rivals history will be ported over.

But then, some may want to change their handle to something new, for whatever reason.

Just curious

Mods, feel free to delete or merge, but I think things merit this. I know many were reluctant to follow Tom, et al, over here a few years back, but I joined On3 for football and McAndrew conversations at that time. It was easy.

Feel free to show us you’ll be following us here in the next month. Post and be seen. In the event you needed a username change, let us know who you are/were.
Way to go Mike! I’m flipped over to ON3 and hope that it will be the equal or better then our old home. Certainly, delving into the greatness with which we associate ourselves never gets old. Let’s go!

There is not an inside jokes thread here...

I don't know either, but my guess would be people panicking over the team title when we don't have more than 7 wrestlers expected to score. Kinda like when Iowa is ahead after session 1 at B1Gs because we had all byes and they wrestled.

The entire pinned thread over on HVI titled Insider Jokes Explained would be a good read for those who never frequented the HVI board. If I had my druthers I would gladly see the "Nico in the room" and "Carton and Pletcher" references go the way of the Dodo bird. That being said, if some of you here feel a sentimental attachment to those two references feel free to occasionally stroll down HVI Memory Lane : )

Can’t seem to tag Tom M.

Hoping to get some info about how the migration from rivals will work.

I registered McPat here with a different email address than mcpat there. Are they migrating over my mcpat profile from rivals? Will my paid subscription there mean anything here? Did Oswald act alone or was there a second shooter at the grassy knoll? Can you import only my good posts?

Not everyone, just one particular poster who remains near and dear to all of our hearts! Other inside joke is that A wrestler is or is not beating Nico in the room.
Spyker/real king right? He gone

See this earlier post from me:


We have been told basically nothing about how the process will work. Shannon Terry's tweets (posted in the thread) are all the info we have at this time. It pains me to not be able to provide any type of guidance, but at this point all I could offer is guesses/speculation, which is not helpful for those looking for answers.

As soon as I know more, I'll certainly share that.

As for tagging me, that should be pretty simple. Just enter the At sign ("@") then start typing in the name of the person to tag (no space after there At sign), As long as you don't make a typo, the closer you get to the handle you're trying to tag, the easier it will be to find that handle from the handle options that appear in the flyout window. At that point, you can either continue keying in the handle, or pick the correct handle from the handle options flyout window.

What about the grassy knoll?

I heard Beau made a post on the forums. What's everyone's take on it?
Glad to see you turn over a new leaf and stick to wrestling talk here instead of being the first one to stir the pot. Bet u couldn't wait, huh. Took you all of 15 minutes.

I won't hold my breath waiting for you to defend Carter like you would for AJ. In the name of setting the record straight.

If true, I won't defend him, but then again I can do that and still admit I'm a PSU fan.

This is wrestling news since no wrestling is happening. My opinion it's all about nothing. Beau has been looking around at other RTCs so he's not planning on staying around anyway.

Defend Carter? Do you've some facts for me ?
Any links to real media reporting anything?

Glad to hear that's your opinion. At least you're consistent on that.

Still didn't see you running on here to post about the AJ UNC news breathlessly as soon as it happened. Wasn't that wrestling news?

I wasn't posting here then 🤷. That's old news now.

Not good. There’s a lot in there, but I suppose you’re interested in just one part. Good for you. Without details I can’t comment. Making a bunch of conditional statements for every possibility isn’t really my thing.

I’m always a little embarrassed by the negative posts, particularly regarding our wrestlers, so his take there isn’t surprising. I can only control so much, and I feel pretty good about my behavior, including not supporting the negative stuff. I confess to occasional good-natured ribbing of other wrestlers - mostly because of silly fans - but I know and I say I imagine many of those athletes are pretty good in person.

Didn't see you running over to post it on that forum of the team you're not a fan of either. Were you banned there too?
I posted on the Iowa boards he should just stay at Bakersfield at this point. I definitely commented on it.
Only banned on your board for posting something with no facts I guess kinda like you did mentioning Carter🤷

And you could have just waited and commented on it here as well. Like you did in response to my comment, which would be fine.

Instead you chose to instigate the conversation with a post with similar intent as the one that got you banned on the other board.

You seem to do this exclusively on PSU forums in relation to negative PSU events. Are you that obtuse to feign surprise or bewilderment about why you get sh#t from PSU fans?
