    Time to pay back the generosity of davey101’s Triple Bock LIF that I won last month.

    A couple of days ago, I lost my old (16+ yrs) cat. I shed a tear or 2 and poured out a little for my fuzzy homie, but George certainly got his money’s worth out of life. In his honor, let’s hit the cellar. While I don’t have any 16-year-old beer laying around, I do have a couple of bottles of 2 of my favorite beers to give away. Up for grabs, a bottle of HOTD Adam batch 71 (bottled December ’07) and Fred batch 54 (bottled October ’04).

    It’s been far too long since we had a pro wrestling LIF! (Maybe all the way back to the old site?) While I only occasionally check out an episode of Raw as a guilty pleasure these days, I was an absolute fiend for ‘rasslin’ as a kid. (I grew up in the middle of Flair Country in NC. Old-school NWA southern rasslin fan here; I wasn’t exposed to the more theatrical ‘wrestling’ of the WWF until Saturday Night’s Main Event came along in 1985.)

    To win the bottles, just answer these questions:
    1. Who is my alltime favorite wrestler?
    2. Embarrassing moment # 1 2 (I reckon ‘fessing up to being a rasslin fan was #1): As kids, a buddy and I once dressed up as what tag team for Halloween?
    3. Embarrassing moment # 3: There’s a yearbook photo of me in junior high sporting a sleeveless t-shirt that features what legendary tag team?
    4. What wrestler’s bare ass have I seen live? (In the ring, not the dressing room! Get your mind out of the gutter.)
    5. I’ve seen one wrestler’s “last” match in person. At what pay-per-view event did that happen?
    6. I’ve seen one wrestler’s “last” match on television, the one and only time I’ve purchased a pay-per-view event. What pay-per-view was it?
    7. The first time I remember knocking my wind out, it was jumping off the couch imitating what wrestler’s finisher?
    8. What wrestler once sported the Greatest Mullet of All Time?

    One guess per hint.
    First hint: I put "last" in quotation marks because, as we fans know, wrestlers don't often stay retired. For questions 5 and 6, one of the wrestlers has not wrestled since that event; the other one has.

    I am sorry to hear about your cat :slight_frown:
    My cat is 15 and has diabetes, so I fear she may be joining George soon :slight_frown:

    Yeah he looked just like Morris the cat on the 9 lives cans...probably lived just as long too! He was a crotchety old man at the end...poor guy.

    Condolences about the cat man. Losing a pet is rough. My cat is named George as well and as much as I claim to hate the bastard I'm dreading the day he goes.

    Oh man... I don't think I'm up for the research that this would involve for a non-rassler like myself. Good on ya for paying it forward though!
