I am not even sure Jarrett has as good a case as Brian Christopher and Jamie Dundee for you 90's generation Memphis guys
-
I rated quite a few Regal matches as EPIC's and haven't reviewed all of his great ones
-
Here is my C+A for Regal http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2011/05/complete-and-accurate-regal.html

I think you would totally have to be a stuck in the 90's dinosaur to even consider him. I don't even think I would put him above Super Dragon
-
I don't see Pillman, he didn't have a particularly long wrong as a great wrestler, had some good charisma, but I can't see an argument for him over someone like Jimmy Jacobs, and Jacobs isn't sniffing my top 100
-
I don't buy Lawler as not physically skilled, he is still throwing a dropkick in his 60's and is a really athletic bumper, he isn't AR Fox or someone, but he has plenty of physical skill
-
Here is C+A Dick Togo, lots of match links in here besides the reviews http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2010/09/complete-and-accurate-dick-togo.html

Here is my Complete and Accurate Fujiwara which has links to a crap ton of matches http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2009/08/complete-and-accurate-list-of-all-of.html

I agree that Santo's case is super helped by being able to see him live, I have seen him every where from Arena Mexico to an Arena in Atlanta to the aforementioned Queens dance club and his presence is something truly special. Him and Hashimoto are neck in neck for the most electric live performers I have ever seen

I have really similar thought as Anthony. I loved old man Jumbo, but 80's ace Jumbo bored me, I imagine he will make my list somewhere, but it wouldn't shock me if I found 100 guys I like better
-
I don't see it, he has had some fun matches but crazy popular but artistically pretty weak shouldn't get you on a list. Journey wouldn't make a top 100 bands list

Here is a link to my complete and accurate Lawler which has 40 or so reviews http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2011/03/complete-and-accurate-jerry-king-lawler.html

Only about five minutes and it needed another two minutes or so to push over the to the GREAT category, but man alive what we got of this match was pretty awesome. Bulldog Rains is a perfectly serviceable bald goateed guy with big arms and a gut, but holy shit did Billy Joe Travis look amazing when he was in the ring. Travis and Dundee just unload on each other with Travis's uppercuts vs. Superstars short hooks, BJ also takes one of his in the lights high backdrops. Memphis studio wrestling at its most energetic, Lawler looked good, although this style was always more suited to Dundee who shined. Mainly though this match made me want to do a BJ Travis Complete and Accurate.

Oh good, for a second I thought Eduardo went nuts, and that would have been a total bummer
-
My first real Fujiwara experience was that stink bomb with Kawada, so I thought he was a sucky old guy who didn't sell. Now he is my all time favorite wrestler, so that is a big 180

http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/09/01/man-without-mask Cassandro gets another long magazine profile, this time in the New Yorker of all places. Pretty cool he gets so much press, although I wish it would translate into him wrestling somewhere I could see

It has been a couple of years since we did a podcast, but Eric and I chopped it up for about an hour. We answered some reader mail and SC requests, and talked about a whole bunch of stuff which is only slightly related to wrestling. http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=94470&cmd=tc

Face Nikita was a pretty great hot tag guy, watch him tear it up in those DA alliance six mans

Same thing happened to me. I was driving to a pub quiz night with my wife and we saw the bus. The bar is near the Verizon center, and I went "shit RAW is in town, parking is going to suck"

[2014-03-22-ROH-Flyin' High] Chris Hero vs A.J. Styles
Phil Schneider replied to Loss's topic in March 2014
Hey ROH, I remember ROH, good to see they can still toss out something great every once in a while. Both of these guys are guys with tendencies, and they mostly kept those tendencies in check. With the overkill limited, they put on a corker of a match. Hero was absolutely killing Styles, almost FUTEN level big boots, elbows and some disgusting thai knees. Styles did a great job of selling, constantly checking his dental work, and folding himself up on big blows. Meanwhile he had some great hit and run counters, using his speed to evade and crack Hero, I especially loved how he worked in the Pele kick. Finish was great too, as it looked like they were going to devolve in fighting spirt nonsense, and instead we got a very cool flash calf slicer tap out. I really liked this, reminded me of a time I liked indy wrestling. -

No I agree with him, lets try not to make this place seem like a Men's Rights message board
