    ROH vs. NXT

    He's not good. He's not very good at calling the action. He seems not to be informed of the direction of what they're doing. Him and Corino seem more interested in popping each other than getting over the product. Dalton Castle is booked as a face, but KK and Corino talk of him like he's a freak in a bad way. He seems out of touch with the product.
  2. Looking forward to the upload today. Lothario has been tremendous on the streaming service so far. So the beginning of the Guerreros/Lothario feud should be great.
  3. Thoughts on the Flair-Wahoo rematch here.http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/31716-ric-flair-vs-wahoo-mcdaniel-72685/
  4. This is the rematch and it's another hard hitting affair. We see Flair work the arm. Everything Wahoo does has a pop. His chops are blistering. So this turns into a match similar to the Ron Garvin matches. Just a chop fest and it's awesome. Flair is bleeding from the head. Both guys work their asses off that awes the crowd. Great stuff. 4*
  5. Proud that you put Valentine over Ted.
  6. Evolve 47 Busick vs Williams I like both guys. The mat work here is really smooth.Loving Busick targeting the neck. It was a nice fun opener. Both wrestlers looked good. 3 1/2* Gulak vs Swann Super fun to start. Gulak controlling with a headlock. Loving Gulak's arm work. Swann's selling of the arm is solid. Gulak's counter to the standing 450 was sick. Overall a weird match. It seemed they were working to something and said fuck it. Then went in another direction for the match. 2 1/2* Gargano cutting a promo over his injured friend. What a douche. Hero vs Bailey These guys have had strong matches with one another. Hero taunts Bailey with a scruff of the hair and we are off. That boot from Hero should be illegal in NY. Fuck that looked stiff. Bailey might be the best baby face on the indys. Loving Hero controlling this match with hope spots sprinkled in for Bailey. Not caring for Bailey NJPW selling or lack of Hero's chops. Hero is running the spectrum of nearfalls .Don't think Bailey should be trading bombs with Hero with the size difference. This was a real good match . They cut a good pace. A couple of little things kept this from the next level 3 1/2* Horus/Baretta vs Konley/Nese This is mindless fun. Some highspots early. The PAB cuts off Horus and gets some heat on him. Hot tag time. Horus has looked bad in spots during this match. The big moments were awesome in the match. I wish they'd build to them smarter. Plus the match went longer than needed. Baretta is positioned as a dummy. The bad outweighed the good. 2 1/2* Gargano vs Page This is an Anything Goes Match. They're using a guitar hero guitar as a weapon. This is one of these brawling in the crowd fights. This is entertaining, but if you want some hate filled brawls this isn't it. 3* Swann as a heel doesn't seem like a good fit. We'll see. Thatcher vs Sabre Jr. These guys are the 2 best technical wrestlers in the world. They aren't dissapointing. The reversals of the chokes was really fun. Thatcher manipulating the ankle was nasty. Thatcher now going after the leg. Zach teases the arm breaker. Nice kick by Zack to the arm. Leaping knee by Sabre, and Thatcher capitalizes. A nice rope break. Zach's top rope cross arm breaker was awesome. Sabre jr. is going all nasty on the arm. All different types of things. Thatcher's dead arm selling was great. That finishing run was awesome.The build could have been a tad better. 4*

    ROH vs. NXT

    Tim you have your critiques and that's fine . You support Evolve too. I Thought Evolve's issues are worse from a production stand point. The crowd seems dead a lot. They seem to run behind or late. Cage match snafus. One of my main concerns with the WNN for Wrestlemania weekend is getting a ticket to that could cause us to miss or be late to other events since they have a full slew of shows in the same building.

    ROH vs. NXT

    I don't think the ROH crowd is piped in. The one Will and I went to the crowd was rabid and it showed on TV.
  9. This is something that should be broken up by decade with the way wrestling has changed.

    Barry Windham

    Just a stud. Top 20-30 for me. So versatile of a worker. The epitome of a guy who could do it all.

    Ron Garvin

    Ron Garvin made my SC poll back in the day. He'll make it now. Way too much output. Flair, Savage,Tully,Arn , Jake, MX, Valentine, Hennig, Invader, Etc

    Arn Anderson

    Might be the greatest worker ever at having fun jobber matches. He'll be high on my ballot. If he was around in the 70's would have been an even bigger star. He was made for the 2 out of 3 format as evidenced by his run on 92 TV.

    Buddy Rose

    Stuff Buddy does in the ring I value highly. My dream match was Buddy/Steamer. He'll make my top 10-20 easy how much more not sure.

    Rey Mysterio Jr.

    This generations great baby face worker . Will be in my top 10. A guys peak you can argue. The guy responsible for me buying GAB 96 after having a ppv lull from Hogan's debut at BATB 94.

    Seth Rollins

    No way. I'd be insulted if he made a ballot.
  16. shoe

    Dick Murdoch

    Definition of a guy who could do it all. Stooge, brawl, technical . He could work singles , tags. He was fluid on the card. His work was believable facing the champ.
  17. shoe

    Robert Gibson

    No, but his most fun run was a heel in SMW in 95.
  18. No, not top 100 most charismatic wrestlers.

    Kyle O'Reilly

    Love him but a waste of time to discuss him for this list.
  20. I'm having a beer at a bar will give them to you when I get home. One is from 1980 for the U.S. Belt.
  21. Valentine has really blown up as a great worker over the years. He's emerged as Backlund's best opponent. Great feud with Piper. His Flair matches are tremendous. Fun matches with Pedro. The crown jewel is his feud with Tito. A good house show run with the Blue Blazer. A lot of good matches with Ronnie Garvin. The Dream Team produced tons of good matches with the Bulldogs. A guy with great story telling and snug work.

    Vader

    Vader's a beast an easy top 20 or 30 guy. One of the last truly great monsters . I'd pay him to spend a week with Moose and Elgin in ROH.
  23. shoe

    Bret Hart

    I like Bret and have watched easily over 100 matches of his. I see him in my top 50 like Parv. Stand him next to Arn I'd pick Arn. Arn worked harder on a consistent basis. Bret had more highs, but Arn's body of work will shock you. When the 80's Crockett set comes out Arn will be all over it. Back to Bret though his house show run just didn't light me on fire. Look at what's up on WWE network and be ready to be to see him out worked by the Bezerker.
  24. After watching JYD vs Butch Reed in 2 matches on NWA classics from Houston and highlights from Mid-South that has legs for feud of the year.
  25. shoe

    Rick Martel

    Martel Is a guy who will do well on my ballot. He's my type of baby face. His work in Portland and the AWA was top notch. His return in WCW was really good. I like his work in Japan. His tag work with Strike Force and Garea on 1st run in WWF is strong. Just not long enough. His Model work was mediocre. Not enough to bring down all his high end work though.
