Who is/was '90s Clay'? What's his/her legacy on TTW?

[Deleted member 756514]

I joined TTW in November 2017. Since then I have encountered the name of 90s Clay on numerous occasions; mostly as a ridicule by the current users. But never quite understood why it is so.

So who is/was '90s Clay'? What's his/her legacy on TTW?

90's Clay was the Avatar of TTW

But right when the online tennis world needed him most, he disappeared

I have been here since 1 month and I am sure 90's Clay is SetSampras on Men tennis forum.Go to the forum there, see his posts

As far as I could tell, that everyone who didn't play in the 90s is a mug with the exceptions of Fed, Rafa and Djoko.

 

[kalyan4fedever]

HE was a glorious troll, he got banned for good, ppl mentioning him don't likely have a life

NO EXCUSES!

Apparently he was a Sampras fan who was half a Nadal fan but solely because of Federer dislike. The famous No Excuses thread was supposedly a declaration that whoever won AO 17 was, without question, the GOAT.

I'm told Federer fans should regret his passing since whenever he predicted Fed would do badly he won.

 

[Incognito]

90’s clay hmmmnn. He hated Federer and supported Nadal.

Then he said Sampras would beat Nadal at the FO at least once if he had been given as many chances as Fed.

 

[Deon Sanders]

He is busy working as a Patrick Star mascot

 

[Jaitock1991]

Nobody could make posting on TTW look so effortlessly easy. Beauty at its most raw. Ironically to him he is the Federer of TTW.

And even they were semi-mugs.

 

[Mainad]

Is he grabbing Rafa's crotch???

 

[tennisaddict]

He was always very considerate to RAonic , Nishikori and Dmitrov

The ‘is Nishikori 1-5000 against big 4’ and ‘freakin RaoMug’ references were on point

 

[tennis_pro]

One of the last good trolls here.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Or maybe it is something coming out of Rafa's crotch?

A tent is forming as Ned thinks about how there is actually someone out there that cares about clay

Wonder if it's Pico in that get-up?

Be careful what you say around here, a certain cephalopod may make you eat those words...

 

[Tiki-Taka]

One of very few who managed to be funny while criticizing or belittling a player, not just plain obnoxious.

Look at who's in front of him though.

He aint looking at her though

Spongebob wants in the action as well

Andorra, Kia-Ora, Crapola, Crapola.

That left arm is abnormally big.

[Tennisanity]

90's clay could rival the most vehement Nadal fangurls on here.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

It was acceptable in the '90s.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

OMG LOL

 

[duaneeo]

Yes, and Rafa definitely isn't complaining.

This is a bit over-the-top, to put it mildly.

He was a good troll, a prolific writer, someone with energy to "keep it up" and kind of a fool, if you are idiotic enough to take this place seriously. Other than the repetition (which was extreme) I miss him, having been a reader here for a decade and a member for far less. But he was a character.

In the rankings, I put him up there in the Wilander range. Nothing special, very consistent, a bit boring, but he could wear people down. The shear number of posts (balls hit back) was quite astounding. That is his true legacy IMHO. He had a certain charm that, sadly, wore off quickly, but then you missed him if he didn't come around for a while.

Sadly, he got into fights and here is where everything broke down or, perhaps better put, this is where the action really was. I don't know. I am sure he deserves a medal, however, if only for sticking with it.

 

[Phoenix1983]

ROFLMAO. There are NO EXCUSES for not knowing about 90s Clay's legacy!

Guy coulda been the best troll ever, but lacked the killer instinct against his rivals. 0-3 against Fed in prediction threads - pure muggery IMHO.

PETE was of course the dude's biggest idol. Played in the toughest era ever, when guys bled to death on the court and came back to win. Not like the current crop of RaoMug, S*itikori et al, who bend over at the first sight of Fed's face.

In a nutshell, he was a golden era troll who woulda beat you 6-0, 6-1 in a match on any surface, with one hand tied behind his back.

Nuff said.

 

[Charlemagne]

Definitely a GOAT troll. He was up there with 5555, F1bob, NADALRECORD, Clayqueen, Clarky, Monfed... am I forgetting anyone? Lol

 

[flyinghippos101]

For any "Old Guard" tt users (pre-2010-11), I don't think anyone trolled as hard or as effortlessly as gj011, and all 30 of his subsequent aliases after he was banned.

 

[TheMaestro1990]

He's the hero TTW deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A dark knight.

 

[Standaa]

I miss clay in the 90's... it was lightning fast back in the day... every clay court is so slowed down nowadays, sigh...

 

[Deleted member 77403]

The guy on the left is slam number 18, the guy on the right is clay from the 90s.

He never saw it coming...

90's clay reading this:

90's clay had no rival.

 

[Tennis_Hands]

Maybe we should ask @killerboi2?

 

[Vanilla Slice]

Why did 90s Clay get banned again last year?

I for the life of me cannot remember. All I know is one day I logged on and saw "banned" under his name and weeped for hours while coddling my Wilson ProStaff Original 6.0.

 

[Deleted member 307496]

I still crack up at his posts on Agassi too.

[TahoeTennis]

lol at the OP who is obviously 90's clay.

 

[Sysyphus]

honestly a bit of an overrated mug with a rather monotonic troll-game. In the end he got canonized because his most prolific streak of insanity and ultimate banning happened to coincide with Federer's remarkable comeback, so he became the ironic symbol of that whole shebang.

Most of the time he was actually around, the majority of posters were tired of his shtick. But in 'death' all trolls are idealized.

 

[TennisLovaLova]

Definitely a GOAT troll. He was up there with 5555, F1bob, NADALRECORD, Clayqueen, Clarky, Monfed... am I forgetting anyone? Lol

The dark knight maybe

Sounds like a weak era for trolling.
