I'll start a separate thread in the main forum.

Thank goodness.

...to this end, it will not surprise me if Dave viewed Patera's year-long pairing with Jerry Blackwell and the Sheik and their AWA tag title reign as the low point of any dissertation on Patera's HOF merit, outside of his pre-jail comeback.

Wait, Dave saw them live every month? I don't believe that. I think I've made my feelings known previously but Dave never seemed to like or understand the AWA or how they did things, from pretty much everything I've ever read him write about it. The arguments he makes in that conversation drive that home in my eyes. Brunzell never felt real? C'mon now. And Martel and Santana, together for all of two months before their Strike Force days later on, were in no way a better working team than the together-for-the-better-part-of-8-years-when-they-faced-off team of Gagne and Brunzell, period. I don't see Dave ever putting them on the ballot, no matter what arguments or evidence are brought forward. It seems like he cannot figure out how Gagne and Brunzell drew, and refuses to acknowledge how good they really were until he can justify their drawing power in his own mind.

I'm praying he's pretending to be that dense there to confuse his readers. If not....yiiiiiikes.

Where is my "LIKE" button on this thing? Stupid old-school keyboards!

Absolutely. How the numbers fall, if they fall honestly, would make for great discussion. And since they would likely change a bit here and there quarterly, the discussion would change.

Quarterly, perhaps....once every three months.

Awesome.

For fun, every month a selected core of people (any number as long as they commit to doing it monthly, could be the entire board...no criteria to vote except maybe being a board regular as determined by management) submit a list of their top 25 wrestlers at that moment in time. Results are compiled (1st place vote = 25 points, 2nd place =24 points, etc.), and the top 50 or so are posted in a sticky. Next month, re-vote, with movement up and down and new entries analyzed in an accompanying "ratings analysis" style thread. I figure so many people in this thread move people around thier own personal lists on a given day, the ratings would probably change a fair bit every month.

Rick Martel trying to use the Flying Vault as his finisher. It worked maybe 0.01% of the time in matches that mattered.

As an infrequent viewer who caught a stream of the last match tonight, I can't say I'll blame them. I did like the ref holding Ryback's legs part during the fast count, though.

I got mine yesterday. Ditto to the rest, great series and I've enjoyed them all.

Heh, maybe they can have Heyman do something sneaky with the contract to make it an old-school WWF-style cage match, where you only win by escaping. You could have Punk win that in a lot of different ways while taking a shit kicking, and without either guy having to be pinned or submit.

Yeah, quite funny to see Solie as confused as the viewers. I remember seeing him call a women's match on Georgia Wrestling once where he called each woman by the name of the other for the entire match. Ole Anderson finally came out and told Gordon that he was mixing the women up, just as the final pinfall took place. Very lol-zie.

..then this needs to be your avatar asap:
