On paper it looks great. So I'm looking forward to it.

Duggan vs Hercules Coal Miner's Glove Match This was interesting, and the guys worked hard. The match was super heated. I wouldn't consider this a good match though. At times the strikes were good. Then at times Hercules strikes looked terrible. We got a lot of pole spots. When it was on the mat and ringside we got a fun brawl. Though the match had drama, and post match a killer Cornette promo building to a hair match.2*

Battle Royal 11/18/83 I thought this was a really fun battle royal . It was also really well booked to set up the major show in 2 nights. I like the 2 ring battle royal premise. I liked the story of how no one liked the russian Nikolai Volkoff. I loved Reed using a crutch on JYD to set up the paint the loser yellow stip.Big John Studd gets over by stalling. The Dusty/Nikolai interactions set up their match the next night. I loved that Nikolai won the 1st ring. Mary Oates a great wrestler, but and underneath talent wins the 2nd one. Marty Oates is the future Marty Jannetty. Volkoff just destroys Oates in the final to cement him as a monster heel. We get some really good promos afterward. 3*

I think this is my favorite Flair/Dusty match. It's also Sam Munchnik retirement card.

I'm a huge Andy Dalton fan. He's a heels heel.

That is where I had it, until the finish which I loved. I also felt the timing of the hot tag felt weird. Thought they could have milked it some more. Also Eadie is one of the most underrated promos .

Man this was a really great match, and I agree with Bruce this might have been Mil's best performance in the states.We get a really great extended shine sequence with Tito being the rugged fighter, while Mil showed a lot of flash. It's obvious on commentary Boesch has designs to make Tito his new ethnic babyface in the Jose Lothario role. Both heels made the faces look great in the shine. I was shocked Mil played FIP. He was good at it and the crowd was super hot for it. I really bought into the struggle in the match.Tito gets the hot tag. He's on fire, but gets cut off and we get total chaos at the finish.3 3/4*

I thought he was pretty cutting edge by doing tope's in America. I think he'll make my ballot, He had great runs in WCCW, and UWF. Not enough props for his Portland run. Had solid tours in Japan.

Parv I can't believe you didn't put in the breakdown are the Strongbows the 2nd best babyface tag team we've seen from the footage.

Sounds like a fun one.

Lmao

I'll have in my top 50.

No way for me.

I don't think Gang will make my list, but I think he has plenty of really strong performances against Dibiase, Duggan, Gordy,Kerry, Ice Man, Hulk along with others. I wouldn't discount him. Like I have him above Yokozuna, and Tenta.

Sorry about that. It was all me.

17. BEST WEEKLY TV SHOW 1. ROH 2. Lucha Underground 3. NXT

Lio Rush being announced for the top prospect tourney gets me excited. I hope this ends up with him being a full timer. That FIP 6 man tag tourney had a bunch of blue chippers there.

I thought that was a better than average Bret performance on a house show.

Peoples criteria will be different. Their is no set way how you are going to judge it. As a fan going to a live show and seeing my guy phoning it in . It would piss me off. Thus it's why I value it so much.

The Rockers

Owen Hart, Greg Valentine, Tito

Jake, Brainbusters, Hennig, Savage, Hulk, Flair, Steamer , Slaughter to name a few.
