ADAM 'PAC MAN' JONES

I'm sorry, but this is the biggest waste of money I've seen from TNA. For all the hype, Pac Man's arrival hasn't boosted TV ratings or buy rates, he can't actually get in the ring and physically wrestle and he's proven himself to have the charisma of a black hole. Useless!

   
'A-1' ALASTAIR RALPHS

Big A-1 had a small run with TNA as part of Team Canada, but he was soon let go when the faction folded. Apparently he's now retired from the wrestling biz, hence his being here!

   
AMY 'LITA' DUMAS

Fair play to Lita for getting out of the business young. With her band, the Luchagores, about to release their first album and doing plenty of touring, it looks like we won't be seeing her back wrestling again any time soon!

   
ANGUS YOUNG (SEEN LIVE!)

AC:DC are one of the greatest pure rock and roll bands of all time! Want proof? Listen to Back in Black or Highway to Hell and see for yourselves. Or even better, go ask fellow Aussies Jet were they get their inspirations from...

   
ASHLEY

The 2005 Diva Search Winner was immediately thrown into the wrestling mix once she won the contest, not getting proper training due to being rushed into storylines so quick. Still, she makes a good fit with London and Kendrick.

   
B.G. JAMES

To casual fans, it's the Road Dogg Jesse James, but for the almost five years of TNA history, it's B-Jizzle! And he's back together his old partner now, although we're not to refer to them as the New Age Outlaws anymore... These boys are the Voodoo Kin Mafia!

   
BILLY CORGAN (SEEN LIVE TWICE!)

Former Smashing Pumpkins and Zwan lead man, Billy C is one depressing guy but he's also a rockin' musician! And apparently, he's a Manchester Utd fan too! Is there anything this guy can't do?

   
BRAD WILK (SEEN LIVE TWICE!)

He's the former Rage Against The Machine and current Audioslave drummer, and guess what? I was actually lucky enough to catch one of his drumsticks after seeing the Slave perform at the Download festival in 2003. Giggidy-Giggidy-Giggidy!

   
BROCK LESNAR

So much for a return to the E! Whilst it could happen at some point down the road, I'd really like to see Brock hit the bright shores of TNA once his lawsuit with Vince and co. is over, since I think he'd be another fantastic addition to their roster! Alas, it doesn't look like he'll EVER return to wrestling!

   
CAPTAIN CHARISMA

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No... It's Captain Charisma himself, perhaps the greatest superhero of all time!

   
CHAVO CLASSIC

Talk about blowing a golden opportunity!! Chavo Classic had it made on Smackdown, but then he had to go and no-show a few house shows and criticize the way the WWE were using him, and now he's gone again!

   
CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI

I gotta admit, I was pretty impressed with this guy. Unfortunately though, he's been forced to retire due to a similar issue with concussions that Bret Hart suffered after Goldberg kicked him in the cranium.

   
CJ RAMONE

Came from the Marine corp and picked up Dee Dee's bass once he decided to drop out without looking back! Those were mighty big shoes for CJ to fill but he seemed to do so with ease!

   
'CRAIG DAVID'

Only UK fans of the cult TV show 'Bo Selecta' will know who this guy is, but man is he funny. Was tempted to add the infamous piss bag but thought better of it.

   

CURRY MAN

You've gotta love the Dude Love-esque entrance video and the ridiculous nature of this spicey son of a gun, though it would be kinda nice if *whoever* might be under that mask were to get a singles push under his better known gimmick...but hey?

   
C.W. ANDERSON

Albeit not related to Arn or Ole, the resemblance is quite uncanny. His run in the new ECW was completely uneventful although to be fair, injury played into that. Since his release, he too announced his retirement, as seems to be the "cool" thing for awesomewrestlers to be doing right now!

   
DANIEL PUDER

The latest Tough Enough winner, Puder got absolutely BRUTALISED at the Royal Rumble. Chances are, we won't be seeing him on Smackdown again for quite some time as they hopefully teach this kid the basics!

   
DARTH VADER

What with the impending arrival of Episode III, I figured it would be a cool idea to try my hand at drawing the man we're all dying to see the birth of, and I gotta say, I love this picture!!

   

DAVE GROHL (SEEN LIVE FIVE TIMES!)

Ol' Davey Boy is awesome. He's the lead singer of the band Foo Fighters, former drummer for Nirvana, and has appeared on numerous other band albums too. Plus the guy is one of the most ferocious and hard hitting drummers you're ever likely to hear. If you like drums that sound like they'll make your ears bleed, I highly recommend his side project, Probot too!

   
DEE DEE RAMONE (R.I.P)

The main who played bass for the majority of Ramones tracks over their 20+ year career, as well as writing some of their most recognisable tracks, who unfortunately passed away in 2002 due to a drug overdose.

   
DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE

We all thought his wrestling career was over once DDP 'retired' back in 2002, leaving the WWE and seemingly disappearing off the radar. Yet he's back again, although no longer with TNA after Dusty stepped down as booker and a NWA World Title reign seemed out of the question!

   

DR. EVIL

Few people in the world are truly evil. Fortunately, Dr. Evil is one of them. His name would have been mighty ironic otherwise.

   
THE DUDE

Possibly the greatest character from any film EVER, the Dude can be found lounging around in the Big Lebowski where a urination incident leads to one of the most bad ass stories about nothing in particular that you're ever likely to see! This man has become my role model and if you had any sense, you'd grab a White Russian and follow his lead too!

   
DUSTY RHODES

All credit to Dusty for trying to put TNA on the map, but there were just too many bad decisions on his part that didn't help the product to it's full potential. However, what does the American Dream care? He's got a new gig working for the WWE's creative team now!

   
ERIC BISCHOFF

Poor Bischoff. He was excellent as the evil GM, but since he got 'fired', there's been absolutely nothing for him to do. I hope Vince and co find something quick, because this guy is some talented on the stick (and at being an asshole), it's just wasteful to not have him on TV!

   
FLEA (SEEN LIVE TWICE!)

This fella here is the master of the funky bassline, and is widely regarded to be the finest bass player of our generation. Who am I to disagree? Having seen Flea and the Chili Peppers play live, I'd vouch that he probably is what any future bass player should aspire to be like!

   
GOLDBERG

What an uninspiring way to go out. If that's the last time Goldberg wrestles in the States, that's a great shame. He'd come on leaps and bounds since joining the WWE, but his Wrestlemania match against Brock Lesnar was a complete shambles.

   
CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW

HAR-HAR!! The Captain of the Black Pearl and all round bad ass, who could have watched Pirates of the Caribbean and not thought Johnny Depp's creation wasn't the best thing since sliced bread? He's the best pirate I've ever seen!

   
JACKIE GAYDA

Miss Jackie never really advanced as a wrestler at all since her Tough Enough win, but then, she's mostly just eye candy anyways so what does that matter? Heck, that's exactly what she's being capitalised for in TNA!

   
JIMI HENDRIX (R.I.P)

All round guitar God, Hendrix's influence can be heard on all sorts of music today and for the past thirty years. Without a doubt, he was the greatest guitar player of his generation.

   
JOEY RAMONE (R.I.P)

Lead singer for one of the most influential punk bands of all time, Joey had one of the most recognisable voices in all of music! Unfortunately, he passed away in 2001 due to lymphatic throat cancer.

   
JOEY STYLES

"OH MY GOD!!" may not have been the most imaginative catchphrase of all time, but you can be damn sure it's one that will be stuck with Joey Styles for many years to come! He wasn't what the E was looking for when it came to announcing Raw and the new ECW was a bust, so Joey now heads up WWE.com!

   
JOHN BONHAM (R.I.P)

He was the powerhouse drummer of Led Zeppelin, and perhaps even the finest drummer of all time. Bonzo would beat the living crap out of his kit to give you some of the best sounds EVER!

   
JOHN BRADSHAW LAYFIELD

JBL's transition to the announce table has been one of the highlights of Smackdown in 2006 for me. It's so totally refreshing to have a color commentator who actually puts over all the talent and makes everything seem important, not to mention being funny as hell. Long live JBL!

   
JOHNNY RAMONE (R.I.P)

The Ramones staunch guitarist and bad ass to the core, Johnny may have been a Republican *boo*hiss* but that doesn't take away from his awesome skill at whipping out catchy riff's. Unfortunately, Johnny passed away recently due to Prostate cancer that he'd been valiantly fighting for 5 years.

   
JOKER

AKA, the Jack Nicholson version from the 1989 film directed by Tim Burton, which was undoubtedly the best of the series (although Batman Returns comes a close second). Nicholson was simply amazing as the Joker and helped inspire me to become the evil guy I am today!

And then along came Heath Ledger...WOW! Rather than play it like Nicholson, I thought Ledger totally took the part as his own in the Dark Knight and did something pretty different whilst still incredibly entertaining. That mixture of making the character chillingly evil and pretty damn funny was awesome, and I just had to honor the performance with a new Joker picture! It really was that good!

   

"MR JON-TASTIC" JON FULLER

Who, I hear you ask? Why, it is the incarnation of myself as a bad ass, amazing wrestler that oozes Jon-Tasticness from every pour. Still confused? Then I put it to you that you're missing out on one of the greatest e-wrestlers ever..... Well, that's my opinion anyway.

   
JONATHAN COACHMAN

I for one couldn't believe it when the Coach turned heel, but I gotta say, I prefer him this way. He plays the part as if he was born to, and even though he's no longer a Raw announcer, his current role as Mr. McMahon's personal assistant is still decent enough!

   

JONNY FULLER

I've drawn myself in all my e-wrestler glory, so I figured, hey? Why not draw the real me too! So here it is... two pictures of the man behind the magic, since I was REALLY bored at work and had nothing better to do! We've got one pic of me in my work attire (I'm a bad ass parking attendant y'see, although I've been spending much of the past month drawing at work rather than anything else) and then the other pic is of me in more traditional attire. As you can see, I've got the casual heavy metal look down to a tee... Both pics are about as accurate as you can get, so if you ever wondered how that freak on the About Me page was looking these days, here's your answer!

   
JOSH HOMME (SEEN LIVE FIVE TIMES!)

Want to see the best live band in the world? Check out Queens of the Stone Age. Although I did get to see them twice with now departed Nick Oliveri (and once with Mark Lanegan!!), I unfortunately missed out on seeing a quartet of power from Homme, Oliveri, Lanegan and Grohl! Curses!

   
KIRK HAMMET (SEEN LIVE THRICE!)

Say what you will about their more recent stuff but Metallica revolutionised metal in the 80's, and they can still pull a few tricks from up their sleeves today as well! Who loves Kirk's solo on One?

   
KRISTAL MARSHAL

She was one of the few Diva Search contestants from 2005 that got a job with the WWE and kept it, and since then, Kristal has handled the majority of the backstage interviews on Smackdown, not to mention stepping into the ring quite a bit recently as well!

   
KURT COBAIN (R.I.P)

It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since Kurt killed himself but his mark on music is still felt to this day. And besides, if you don't like grunge, what the hell is wrong with you?

   
LANCE STORM

Early in 2004, the wrestling world was shocked when Lance Storm announced his retirement. However, that retirement has kind of come undone as he's wrestled a few matches since then, including one awesome contest against Bryan Danielson and his latest last match against good friend Christian Cage!

   
LARS ULRICH (SEEN LIVE THRICE!)

So he might be somewhat of a wiener, even going so far as to SUE his own fans, but you just can't help but love this guy's drumming. It's heavy, it's brutal, and it's fan-bloody-tastic!

   
LUTHER REIGNS

Out of all the new guy's that have debuted over the last year, I'd say Luther is one that has really impressed me. Whilst he may look a little goofy in the face, the guy is a powerhouse who a) looks like he can wrestle, b) can talk the mic and c) has a good reason for being on Smackdown!

   
MARKY RAMONE

Once Tommy hung up his drumsticks to go back to producing, the Ramones turned to Marky to fill his boots. And boy did he ever! He's one cool guy...

   
MATT CLASSIC

Who could this masked man really be? I'm not entirely sure, but rumour has it that Matt Classic was cryogenically frozen from a bygone era of professional wrestling and he doesn't like what he's woken up to find nowadays! Alas, something tells me we won't be seeing Matt Classic all that much in the near future though!

   
'MICHAEL JACKSON'

He's one bad, invincible mofo and you better show him some respect. Again, from 'Bo Selecta', Wacko Jacko is the ultimate parody!

   

MIKE ADAMLE

Sweet Jesus, this guy is the worst commentator of all time...why on earth would anyone hire a person to do a job when they clearly have no idea about the product they're supposed to be talking about? Hopefully his run as GM will hide some of his many faults a bit better!

   
MR. T

It's Mr. T, and as a great man once said, I pity the fool who doesn't like he! No-one can deny the greatness of this former B.A. Baracus, nor his milk-drinking, fool-beating ways!

   
MISTER ZERO

This deranged office worker has been on the shelf for a while now due to injury, but it's only a matter of time before he makes his return to CHIKARA!

   
MUHAMMAD HASSAN

It seems as if Hassan's summer push is over before it even started, thanks to a badly timed (and just bad in general) terrorist plot to take out the Undertaker! Who knew there were boundaries of taste that even wrestling can't cross?

   
NATHAN JONES

Poor diddums couldn't take the travelling lifestyle. Ah well, it's not as if his quitting was any big loss to the WWE. Unlike the departure of Spanky, say.

   
NICK OLIVERI (SEEN LIVE TWICE!)

Alas, poor Nick got booted out of the Queens of the Stone Age in 2004 due to his wild ways, and it's a HUGE shame! God only knows what the new QOTSA record will sound like without him, but at least he's still touring with Mondo Generator (although they seem to go through more line-up changes than the Chelsea first team!)

   
PAUL HEYMAN

I cannot disagree more with the E sending Heyman home. ECW is virtually a lose cause at the moment and to heap the blame on Heyman, who was quite clearly being restricted from writing the shows he wanted just to appease Vince's ego, well...that just goes to show how out of touch the McMahon's really are with their fans!

   

RANDY 'THE RAM' ROBINSON

The Wrestler was absolutely worthy of all the Oscar buzz it had surrounding it, and Mickey Rourke's portrayal of faded star Randy "The Ram" was magnificent! It might not be the most up-lifting story of all time, but it was definitely gripping, and I highly recommend you guys watch this movie!

   
'MACHO MAN' RANDY SAVAGE

So, you show up on TNA's first big PPV and bump into Hulk Hogan. Due to your long-standing dislike of the Hulkster, you decide to leave and screw up TNA's plans, that is, until Jeff Jarrett can sweet talk you into returning. Only once you learn there are no plans of putting the World Title on you, you're gone again. Welcome to the wacky world of Randy Savage folks!

   
RIC FLAIR

WOOOOOOOOOOOO! The Nature Boy is in the autumn of his career, and he's still in the thick of things, although he seems to be getting jobbed out to all and sundry these days. But, there's no doubting that he's STILL one of the best promo men in the business! Naitch rules the school!!

   
RICHIE RAMONE

He had a 4 year stint on the drums whilst Marky cleaned himself up, and didn't do too badly at all!

   
RICO

Former cop, former American Gladiator, stylist, and now wrestler.... Is there any career this very camp fella hasn't done? I honestly couldn't believe he got released, despite his age, but all the best to him in the future!

   
THE ROCK

I'm not sure about you guys, but I was really digging the Rock's heel turn. I mean, I've waited for it to happen for nigh on four years, and FINALLY, it happened!! Problem is, whenever he returns now, they pretend it never happened at all. Sigh.

   
RON SIMMONS

It was a sad end to the legacy of the APA, the way in which Faarooq left the company, but he's a 40+ year old guy with knees more rickety than a shanty village so I can't really blame the WWE for doing so. Still, at least he pops up on-screen for the occasional 'DAMN!'

   
SALINAS

Formerly Shelly Martinez, this diva was originally supposed to become Paul Burchill's pirate wench, but when that didn't pan out, she found a new role as the tarot reader/vampire chick in ECW to help fill Sc-Fi's quota of bizarre characters. Alas, she then got fired for no reason and is now in TNA as part of LAX. Expect a new pic soon!

   
SEAN O'HAIRE

The 'Devil's Advocate' gimmick could have been pretty interesting.... Unfortunately for Sean though, things went downhill the moment Roddy Piper was fired, and now he's currently trying to break into the shoot fight business.

   
SHREDDER

This isn't some new fandangled version. This is the old school, bad ass Shredder who I grew up watching. And as far as I'm concerned, the only version worth caring about.

   
SIMON DEAN

It's a shame but it looks like Simon Dean's days of wrestling in the WWE are over as he's just picked up a promotion as the talent development manager. I would definitely love to see him back in action but at least we're safe in the knowledge that he'll be helping out the stars of the future!

   
SIMON DIAMOND

Diamond had some great charisma and good in-ring talent and it's a shame to see him retire so young. He's now working behind the scenes at TNA to help with the road agent duties!

   
SKELETOR

No, not the new one. I'm talking old school again. The original and the best. As a kid growing up, Skeletor was my hero... If I could be just an iota as evil as him, I'll be content.

   
SLASH (SEEN LIVE TWICE!)

Former Guns N' Roses and current Velvet Revolver axe wielder, you'd be pretty stupid to not recognize Slash as THE man. And as if pulling kick ass solos from out of no-where wasn't cool enough, he's died on multiple occasions but is still alive to tell the tail!

   
STACY KIEBLER

So Stacy was given a leave of absence to go on Dancing with the Stars and help promote the E somewhat, but that ended up backfiring, as she ended up gaining more fame and fortune during that time than she did whilst appearing with the WWE!

   
STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN

I hate to say it, but Stone Cold's been pretty bland for a long time now, and his release from the WWE was probably a good thing. Hopefully this will give him a chance to clear his head, recharge his batteries and come back better than before, but then, he's already taken two huge breaks over the past few years so what good will another do?

   
STEVE HARRIS (SEEN LIVE THRICE!)

Bassist for Iron Maiden and one of the two original members of the band still hanging in there after over 25 years! Plus, Steve Harris is the mastermind behind many of the epic cacophonies of awesomeness that Maiden have ever come out with! He's the man responsible for beating Cliff Richard to the X-Mas number 1 in 1992 as well!

SUPER ERIC

Who is this mysterious leader of the Prince Justice Brotherhood and just where did he come from? Nobody knows, but one thing we do know is that Super Eric is TNA's resident super hero, and along with Sharky and Curry Man, is ready to save the day whenever need be!

   
TAYLOR HAWKINS (SEEN LIVE FIVE TIMES!)

Taylor's had a few problems over the years, almost dying just prior to the release of One By One a few years ago. However, all looks to be back the way it should be, and if ever there was a drummer who could play in a band fronted by Dave Grohl, it's always been Taylor Hawkins!

   
TAZZ

To say he's improved as a commentator would be a drastic understatement. He's still pretty good, but I dunno...something about the team with Joey Styles doesn't work as well as Tazz and Cole.

   

TENACIOUS D (SEEN LIVE TWICE!)

It seems these days that in order to be a true SPW drawer, you've gotta draw the D. Well, quite frankly, I've got no qualms with that. After all, no one kicks more ass than these two! In fact, my life ambition is to see them live and in person.... After that, I can die a happy man.

   
TIM COMMERFORD (SEEN LIVE TWICE!)

Current bassist for Audioslave, I can't wait to hear their new album coming out later this year! Not only can he play a nifty bassline, but I'm sure most people will remember when he drunkenly got up on stage at the 99 MTV awards!

   
TOM MORELLO (SEEN LIVE TWICE!)

There isn't anyone alive who can do the stuff with a guitar that Mr. Morello can! Although Rage Against The Machine will be sorely missed, at least we've got Audioslave to keep my CD player rocking. And if you're interested, he also doubles as the Night Watchman, or something along those lines.

   
TOMMY RAMONE

When the Ramones couldn't find a man to give them the drum beat that they desired, it almost looked like the dream was ending before it had even started. Yet when producer Tommy stepped behind that drumkit, all worries were forgotten and the Ramones marched on to greatness!

   
TORRIE WILSON

Aside from being in the occasional Playboy, what does did Torrie Wilson actually DO?

   
TRISH STRATUS

Kudos to Trish for getting out of the business when the time was right and doing so in truly classy style. I tip my hat to quite possibly the greatest women's wrestler of all time and wish her all the best in whatever she does in the future!
