Everything checks out pretty much except the NWA is weirdly west coast heavy on talent and I am blanking on "The Love Brothers"

Lol that's fantastic. I guess it's a good thing that Adminbot keeps the old site online for stuff like this.

Wow. Was the HHHate really that bad?

Come on man, you were there. There was a period where posts about HHH controlling things were just as prevalent as posts about Vince controlling things. Geez, it's like you never even bothered to remember who Anglesault was!
HHHate was everywhere and it was completely deserved although I never took part in the memes. @JHawk WAS RIGHT!
The only things I remember about the frontpage were 1. Dames being in EWR (the sites greatest legacy aside from us). 2. Teke184's shoot interview transcripts (which I read on the board not the site lol), 3. Retrorob's interview with Fake Trish Stratus.
Which really says a lot. Old TSM: Interviews with a FAKE wrestler. CXF: Interviews with MULTIPLE real wrestlers AND exposes anti-semite Brian Kendrick. I think we all know who comes out on top here.

There was a super brief period I was talking to Dames and goodhelmet about writing for the site.
I read JHawk, Dames and bps' TNA stuff, and the shoot recaps. Other stuff here and there, as well (lack of respect for the Paradise City Ninjas around here).
The Retro Rob thing was hilarious. I think one of my first posts was in the thread about it.

Thanks for reading mine, @Valeyard. I do second the love for the underrated PCN, and that's not even the first time in the past month that their reviews have come up.
Too bad the FJJ movement didn't make similar (scaled down, of course) waves. That was mostly an "us" thing.
I knew it was at a fever pitch here and on other forums, but I didn't actually think it hit print media.

It was the same fake Trish that Hyatte swore was real. He, of course, also fell for a fake Sunny not long after.
I read a bunch but it's been so many years I can't remember. But writing for the site seemed so glamorous at the time.

At that point of the IWC? It kinda was. TSM was a big deal in that niche market.
Fake Trish chatted at least once or twice in the AIM group and it was incredibly obvious she was fake. It was fantastic stuff.
He did and Rob deserved it but at the same time, it was so good he fell for it. That's an essential TSM moment we'd have lost.
Was it Jay that got into it with Rob Black over him threatening to kill a Puppy? I'm trying to remember the whole story.

Didn't Bower end up being a huge asshole?

He was an arrogant prick and very conservative. His twin brother was a reviewer for 411 way back under the name Ken Anderson (brief confusion with the wrestler followed when the wrestler got a WWE deal). Bower and I emailed back and forth a few times and he was insufferable. Outside of the Rob Black stuff, his legacy is probably the feud with Scotsman from around the same time, which I found hilarious at the time but I'm sure is absolutely dire to read now.
Remember Sean Shannon (sorry I'm dead naming but I don't remember their name now)?
The 2003/2004 MLB playoff threads were incredible. The Red Sox love became overbearing but it was fresh back then. Bruiser Chong and Czech losing their minds over the Cubs.
I still remember Bruiser Chong snapping at me for giving a mild criticism of the movie "Elephant" by Gus Van Sant.
