Hey Im Alex! Im a Connecticut resident, but Im currently living in Melbourne, Australia while doing my Masters of Teaching. Ive actually belonged the website for something around 5/6 years, but barely used the forums. I have been mainly a PC gamer for several years now, but still own most sony and nintendo consoles. Been watching the wrasslin for quite a while(Wow who knew the crossover rate between video games and Professional wrestling could be so high! :/ ). Film nerd. Enjoys cooking. The greatest show ever put to a television screen is the Wire. The greatest film is Pulp Fiction. The Greatest wrestler is Rick Flair. There is no arguing these things with me. Im sorry.

Not that it defines me, but I am also part of the illustrious Disabled Giant Bomb Duder Brigade(I recognize there is no such thing) as Ive been a wheelchair user since 2009. So if there are any people out there grappling with similar issues, feel free to ask questions.

I am on the discord server as Alex_Convertito. Looking for the occasional posse to play some PUBG with and just shoot the shit.

We got Album of 2014 from Run The Jewels.

Album of 2015 will be from RUN GFB.

@kirillorlov: He's right now in the middle of getting an etsy site up and going cos hes been selling most of his stuff at local indie shows but he said to friend him on his FB, and follow him on instagram and twitter. Dave Cole's FB page. Here is his twitter account as well. His instagram handle is See2Love. He actually got retweeted by Nakamura the other day for his Pika-Jushin Liger picture now that i mention it haha. Ive been telling him get on the etsy stuff soon cos people would definitely want prints of some his work. Hell really appreciate the interest from you though!

So this is my time posting on the forums but I felt that it I thought this was kind of a cool moment for a good friend of mine. Hes an artist and local indie guy over here in CT. Me and him went to high school together and then lost touch(he was a year older and i moved to another town). We reconnected over the past couple months over our mutual love of wrestling and video games. Hes been doing a series of "mash ups" of video game characters and famous/infamous wrestlers. These are the ones i picked up from him.

The Mario Luchador was the first in his series so its not specifically geared towards to look like any one wrestler in particular. But as you can see from the others hes obviously headed in that direction. Cool stuff right? Well Maffew from Botchamania has discovered Daves work and gave him a shout out for his random Homer Simpson/Sin Cara mash up(Maffew shout out to Dave Cole!). Ill apologize for being a bit of a schill for my friend but i was just really pumped for the guy as making a living as both an indie wrestler and an artist is not exactly financially stable. Just wanted to show him some love. Also my bad if i botched any of the pictures or links or anything in turn making this post a jumbled broken mess.

While it seems interesting, it appears to me that this guy has a lot of contempt for gamers or people that just want a little more insight into his creation.

THE GIANTBOMB TAKE OVA

My god man. So distraught over this.

Weve lost not only a unique voice in this games journalism thing, but a damn good human being too.

Truly, heartbreakingly sad.

Congrats you big ol' bear of a man!
