Loss

Undertaker The Undertaker has the best gimmick in company history and has taken it and run with it far longer than everyone ever would have anticipated. He's also had more good matches.

Hulk Hogan I'd give Booker the nod in WCW, because I think he's the better *wrestler*, but Hogan's impact can't be denied, and Hogan's best WWF matches are far superior to Booker's best.

Yokozuna Show has finally developed into a very good big-man worker, and while he has underachieved, he has been great at helping carrying a major part of the load on Smackdown since 2002. But ... Yokozuna had a run as champ, and was a big star while he held the gold, and did big business with Undertaker. He also headlined WM in a singles match and had a good house show run with Bret Hart.

Arn Anderson Tough call, but Arn Anderson has a year's worth of great matches against the Rockers, and brief run-ins with Hogan and Warrior on PPV during the time he was in the company. Bad News Brown had some memorable feuds, but never wore a title, and Arn was the better worker.

Feet on the ropes doesn't bother me here, just because it's a heel tactic with a heel using his own resources to beat the face instead of relying on outside interference. That sort of finish was also still taboo in 1977.

I sure hope so. Maybe they'll do *so* good with him out that they'll reassign him or something when he's ready to return. Probably not, though.

The Eddy/Rey feud is getting top billing. NICE. The booking is also incredibly good. I am watching SD this week for the first time in a while. I have to see Rey and Chavo work a streetfight, just to see how they pull it off, since they have great chemistry anyway.

We had our first tie, with Rey Misterio Jr and Paul Orndorff each getting 9 votes. I wasn't sure the most fair way to handle it, so I have PMd Dazed, the only person who signed up who hasn't voted, and told him to break the tie. Whenever I hear back from him, I will update the results thread. It's imperative that you all vote in every single match if you signed up. We have 19 people voting, and if one abstains, it complicates things. Please, in the future, make sure you all vote on every single match. Thanks.

The top titles, of course. Wouldn't that always be the answer? Whatever the company's top heavyweight title is is the one that's most respected. Before Hogan, it was the NWA World Title. Since Hogan, the man makes the belt, but not so much the other way around.

Rock on! Marty brings the content! Good choice for a review. I do know for sure that the reason the belt was put on Graham was because Vince Sr felt he needed a year to get Backlund ready. Interesting how long-term the planning was then.

I know Bob Backlund and Hulk Hogan both defended the WWF title on various tours of NJPW, but I don't think it was ever anything long-term. The AWA belt was also defended in All Japan from time to time. But yeah, the NWA World title has really been the only title at that level for any length of time.

I think I missed some of that before. I knew there were big complaints, but I didn't know Marc Mero was Jewish.

Sid *didn't* have a brain. He flubbed his lines on a regular basis. He tried to kill Arn Anderson with a pair of scissors. He tried to fight Brian Pillman with a squeegee. I think part of that is that a good wrestler has to have a brain to be good at what they do. Meltzer would never say that about Hulk Hogan or Kevin Nash, two others he's not fond of, because it would be very untrue. Luger is a smart guy, and I've heard Meltzer call him that. Luger also got busted for drug possession, never did anything with the countless opportunities he received, was indirectly involved in the death of Miss Elizabeth and hated wrestling the entire time he was in it, even going so far as to yell at fans at ringside, "I can't wait to get out of this shit" at house shows. I probably hear more negative stuff about Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair these days than I do Hulk Hogan or Dusty Rhodes. You're right, and I'm not denying that those types of fans exist, because they do, but I guess they fly completely under the radar to me and I don't pay attention to them. So when someone mentions them, I'm shocked, because I don't see anyone like that who posts, and if they do, they aren't really taken seriously. I do know Tenta got a huge get well post with 3-4 pages of responses at TSM of all places without a single negative word said about him. Same thing when Boss Man died. Edge is probably the least popular guy on the Internet right now, not counting the long-reigning champ HHH, and neither one of them are horrible in the ring, are they?

And the next time I see a bunch of concentrated Earthquake hate will be the first.

That's a ridiculous claim to make, anyway. I'm glad it was pointed out how ridiculous that was.

I was reading the F4W flashback on the Observer page, and noticed he mentioned something in passing that Nash said about OVW trainers that got a lot of people riled up. Do you know what was said, specifically?
