It's not like you wipe out the vote by disagreeing with it. Arguing merits is part of the fun of this thing.

It was Tim Noel. He talked about it in one of these threads.

I also don't have any problem with the Kana matches. She's just a badass throwing down with other badasses--a Kill Bill fight scene come to life or something.

Agree completely. I was annoyed that he ranked ahead of anyone. In November, Phil and I watched him tease unwanted groping as, you guessed it, a babyface spot. Bleh.

I found Baba much more graceful in stepping back to his secondary legend role. He wasn't as good an athlete as Inoki, but he accepted his limitations and remained effective in modest doses. To be fair, Inoki's 2/6/86 match with Fujiwara was better than anything Baba did in the decade.

I'm generally a fan of his '70s work as well, but for me, the '80s Inoki vs. '90s Fujinami comparison doesn't quite work because Inoki remained the dominant figure in the promotion for so much of his decline phase. And aging ace was not a role he wore well, especially if viewed week to week. I take your point, and it's something I might think about in more detail when/if we do this again. But I'm not comfortable dismissing the '80s as a minor part of his biography. The '90s? Sure. But not the '80s.

Did you go to Evolve 59, Dylan? Feel like I've seen the least chatter about that one, and it's not On Demand yet.

KENTA is a good guess but will probably go a fair bit higher than 325.

After all this Jericho crap, it's sort of shocking to see AJ in there with someone who can go.

I'm stunned at the 151. I have no idea what that means for the results, but I'm certainly intrigued to find out.

Well, thanks for making this fun, gents.

Did they flat turn off the crowd noise?

They should go Broadway.

At least someone has achieved enlightenment.

Surprised they just called Bruno the greatest champ ever.

Trips has an army of gimps?

You're a sick puppy.

God no.

Aw damn, I thought he was done.

It's a popular opinion to me.

Johnny vanished. I wonder if his roommate just kept vacuuming to ward off the show?

If the Rock set himself on fire, that would be a "moment."

I love at-wits-end Matt.

That was super weird booking as well.

Well, he seems OK.
