When I Became A True Wrestling Fan: Hearing Jesse 'The Body' Ventura and Vince McMahon's play-by-play of Randy 'Macho Man' Savage jumping off the top rope with the ring bell onto Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat and breaking his neck on WWF Superstars of Wrestling in September 1986.

Favourite Personal Wrestling/MMA Moment: Meeting Vince McMahon the morning after WWF Monday Night Raw in February '99 at the SkyDome while having breakfast. McMahon signed an autograph and asked if we booed him the night before.
