Ok, for me..
1. Did you play wrestling with your joes, if so who were you and who were your champions?
Yes, it started when my cousin called for me one morning and showed me how to make a small sized GIJOE Wrestling ring from a cereal box along with string and some extra cardboard and tape. Taurus was the Hulkster just because he was decked in yellow fatigues.. and Muskrat was the Undertaker because he dressed sort of like him but in green. There were many other crazy selections like this but it was oooooh what 16 or so years back now.. I really can't remember them all lmao
2 who were you in the normal joe storyline when you played joes?
erm.. if you mean who did I pick on a regular basis when playing.. that would be Flint (always first), usually outback, dialtone, crazy legs and dusty for me.. my friend always picked falcon, lowlight and bullhorn.

3 how many friends played with you?
Just one, he shared the same first name as me and actually became my best mate and he's now a member of our family (long story).

4 where was your fav place to play joes?
For me personally it would have to be the back garden we had back on the estate i used to live on. The garden had a big green lawn for forest and rockery at the back. I had many a fun time playing gi joe recreating stories as such indoors but the best ones were outside.
5 did you ever play pretend G.I. Joe. you know, not with toys, but in person, who were you?
No
6 who was you fav joe character in the cartoon?
I'd have to be truthfull and say my favourite would be Cobra Commander, he was fun to watch and his sarcasm kind of grew on me.
7 what played the biggest part in you love for the joeverse, the cartoon or the comic?
Actually neither. I started collecting in 1987 because I spotted the toys at TRU on my birthday. So from then on any money I got went to the toys. I didnt realise the cartoon was on.. and never watched it..any money I was offered to buy a comic I spent on a new figure.
8 what was your fav joe cartoon?
Probably cold slither.. that was actually quite enjoyable and made me like the dreadnoks for what they were.. I also liked my favourite things.
