1 did you play wrestling with your joes, if so who were you and who were your champions?
No wrestling.
2 who were you in the normal joe storyline when you played joes?
It started with Breaker, then Recondo v1, Flint v1, and finally Falcon.
3 how many friends played with you?
Everyone in the neighborhood. 6 or 7 of us.
4 where was your fav place to play joes?
We lived in Rural Tennessee, so there were many wild places to go and adventure. Amusingly enough though, our vegetable garden was the best place. Clear ground, small plants for trees and areas for runways and gun pits and foxholes.
5 did you ever play pretend G.I. Joe. you know, not with toys, but in person, who were you?
Yes, as I said, lots of wild country. We all came up with our own characters. Mine was a special forces operator.
6 who was you fav joe character in the cartoon?
Didn’t have just one.
7 what played the biggest part in you love for the joeverse, the cartoon or the comic?
For me, the comic was canon. The cartoon was fun to watch but didn’t have the depth that the comic had.
8 what was your fav joe cartoon?
As far as the cartoon was concerned, I always liked the MASS device. It was one of the first miniseries and I liked the character development in it.

I didn't have my Joes wrestle. Would set up dioramas outside and would take pictures. From 1986 was when I first started collecting. First figures were Cobra EEls, Crimson Guard, Beachead and the Devilfish I bought at Kinney Drugs. Fave Joes were all of them. When I would g and let the product catalogs my jaw dropped and discovered there was a Joe universe. I liked them better than the 12 inch Joes because you could have battles on a grand scale with limited space required. For some reason I liked the tv show up until the movie. The movie was alright but I didn't like what they did to Cobra Commander. I got my first Joe comic in 1987. When Larry killed off the original CC I was a little dismayed. Special Missions was great and the regular comic too. I recognized there would be peaks and valleys in the writing but every issue was entertaining. It helped me cope with my parent's divorce and health issues. It helped me escape reality for a little while. I feel the cartoon and the comic are both brilliant in their own way. I will be a fan always!!

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.

~I don't exactly understand 'wrestling with your Joes', so I'm going to go with 'No' on this one...
