Tom Alcott Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hi,  I'm a wrestling fan and a PhD student researching who and peoples favourite wrestlers are of all time. I have an online questionnaire and would really love to hear from you and about your thoughts and memories on your favourite wrestlers, whether they are still active or not.  The link to the questionnaire also contains more information about my overall research.  Really look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy the questionnaire.   http://wrestling.ha-computing.com/  I'm also on Twitter @Thewrestlingprj  My Aberystwyth university student profile and research page is available at https://www.aber.ac.uk/en/tfts/study-with-us/phd/phd-students/tom-alcott/  Thank you  Tom   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingofSports Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Done. A few of us veterans have GCEs [O-Levels], not the watered down version (controversial...thirty odd years ago)....but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_3165 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Done...  What is your PhD in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted June 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 27, 2015 Aber? Amazing. My MScEcon "dis" equivalent was basically about Hogan and John Cena, and I got that at Aber too. From Mania XVII to XX, some of my favourite memories of watching wrasslin on TV are of watching it in Aber. Â I'll share the link around, if I may, to try and get you more takers.

Tom Alcott Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Thank you so much for your responses so far. Any help in spreading the word would be amazing. Thank you so much. My PhD is with the department of Theatre, Film and Television. I'm looking to see how and why people select their favourite wrestlers and trying to trace if there are key traits or characteristics that wrestlers may have that make them popular.  I've been lucky in being able to combine my own love of wrestling with my PhD which has been cool.  Yeah, Aber is pretty amazing. The MScEcon dis sounds cool, that must have been really interesting. I might be holding an academic conference on wrestling in Aber next year so will put a post on here in case people might be interested.  Thank you all again  Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boshealecta Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I did my degree dissertation on whether the change from Hulk Hogan to Stone Cold Steve Austin as the WWE figure head reflected a change in American society. Â I failed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanny Pack Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I did my degree dissertation on whether the change from Hulk Hogan to Stone Cold Steve Austin as the WWE figure head reflected a change in American society. Â I failed it Yeah you were dead in the water as soon as you mentioned wrestling. I remember rambling on about the attitude era during a A Level English exam, i too failed.

Paid Members air_raid Posted June 30, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yeah you were dead in the water as soon as you mentioned wrestling. Â My Masters* disagrees. If you successfully link your theory/subject matter to wrestling, you can earn academic accreditation for writing about wrestling. As long as it fits and you adhere strongly enough to concept, application, evaluation, and it's not transparent you're writing about wrestling just because you want to write about wrestling. I don't know enough about either of your experiences to tell you why you failed, but it's not because you wrote about wrestling. Well, unless your A-Level was marked by someone whose kid had just lost some teeth to a sloppy playground Stunner or some shit. Â Â * Not Chris. I wish.
