Tim Evans

Wasn't Miz/Cena basically built around Miz being a former Real World/Tough Enough reject that became World champion?

Wasn't Wolfie a pretty bid deal in TNA when they first started as Slash in the New Church?

If people want to see PG13 really shine, they should watch the feud with Doug Gilbert and Tommy Rich from 1995. They had some great matches together and some wild bloody brawls. I think that feud really started PG13 in the right direction leading to the SMW feud. Has anyone ever seen PG13's matches from Mexico?

I would add Lawler/Dundee, The fabs, Doug Gilbert/Tommy Rich and possibly Eric Embry/Tom Prichard over them. Although 3 of those teams might not be "real tag teams". Really like PG-13 but I always though Jamie was better as a heel and Wolfie better as a babyface.

Not very good contracts it seems. I wouldn't call this a raid more than it's CMLL getting what they had coming. After years of playing it safe and being lazy, guys are seeing a new opportunity and leaving. WWE doesn't want to kill Lucha libre, Mexico is doing a good job of it by itself. I think a couple more guys like Volador and Fantasma will go to WWE before it's over.

Dave's fascination for Karen Jarrett is pretty funny. Like last night's Observer where he said she looks hotter with crutches. Bryan sounded freaked out.

I'm 25. Although I'll be 26 on the 16th. I didn't start tape trading seriously till about 04. Although I bought tapes way before then from the old WWF and ECW Catalogs.

The interesting thing about Dusty is that he still is booking the Tag division in FCW better than WWE and probably TNA. It's treated as a main event type deal with the heavyweight champion(Lucky Cannon) even going for the tag titles.

In America or worldwide? I still think Chris Masters is better but Drew has improved a lot. He even got a good match out of Kofi Kingston.

Ryan has been working the wwe style longer. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

Cara wasn't even the worst guy on the show. That belongs to Mason Ryan. No way should he even be on FCW tv, much less a WWE ppv. The cara match was probably the 3rd best match after Rey/Truth and Orton/Christian.

They had a graphic at the start of the show.

Cena/Miz felt like a rape scene from a movie. Not very good at all. Miz looked like a chump.

It almost feels like Jerry Jarrett booked that Cole/Lawler match. I hope that's the blowoff to the feud.

Awesome match between Christian and Orton. The finish was really good and the match might have saved the show. I'm guessing Christian is going heel. Kelly/Bella was alright but bummed that Kharma wasn't there.

Well that's probably the last time we'll see Sin Cara on a live show for a while. This show feels more like a Raw than a PPV.

I'm going to try and not go with the obvious and just pick matches that I really liked: Must see cage match Austin Idol vs Jerry Lawler Hair vs Hair Must see high flyers match: I guess I'll go safe and say the 10 man from Michinoku Pro These days Must see match with blood: El Hijo Del Santo vs La Parka from Monterrey Must see mat work: El Dandy vs Javier Llanes from 1994. Must see gimmick match: Hacksaw Duggan vs Ted Dibiase Multi stips match Must see world title bout: Don't know what to put here really. Let's go with HBK vs Mankind from Mind games 96. Must see 1970s match: Any of the Sheik/Abby vs Funks matches. Must see 1980s match: Jerry Lawler vs Terry Funk No DQ Must see 1990s match From UWF Hamada in Japan: Robin Hood & Los Ninja Turtles vs. Shu El Guerrero/Jose Luis Feliciano/El Texano/Black Terry/Ricky Boy (9/12/91) Must see tag match: Jerry Lawler and Dutch Mantell vs Buddy Landell and Bill Dundee Texas death match.

- I've been reading a lot of back Observers from the last 80's- early 90's and I'm just wondering, When did the Dave Meltzer/Wade Keller friendship go south? Dave used to always plug Wade's newsletter and writing. Did anything happen or was it a result of the Monday Night wars and the Torch getting popular?

This might not be very improtant but after watching a episode of Pro Wrestling This week, I got some questions: - The Tracy Smothers vs Wrestling bear match from Continental wrestling was shown. Did anyone ever die from these types of matches? I remember reading in Bret's book about the bear living underneath the Hart house. It just shocks me that this type of match existed and when did they stop doing them? - When did WWF stop sending footage for the PWTW? I was surprised WWF let them air footage even into 88 while NWA didn't?

I've been watching some WCW Main event from May 94 and they had a series of matches with Ricky Steamboat and Arn Anderson vs Bad Attitude(Steve Keirn and Bobby Eaton). I had no idea that Steamboat and Arn teamed but the matches were good. Kind of screwy finishes though. Ricky and Arn also had a fun match with a reunited Orient Express on Saturday night in April.

Am I the only one that thought that was Joel Gertner in the picture on the front page of F4w? At first glance I thought it was till I read the caption. Sucks what happened to that guy though.

It would be better if Novak and JTG didn't suck so much. I was at the Regal/JTG match live and you could hear a pin drop.

I think people will be surprised by the Orton/Christian match. Of course I'm biased cause I'm a Orton fan but it was really good. Easily Orton's best match in months. The thing that was interesting from the Smackdown tapings was just how strict Security is now about Cameras. They used to just check people at the doors if they had a video camera or other Contraband. Now they walk down the isles and basically stalk people with phones and take away disposable cameras.

Have you seen Big Zeke? Or 95% of the guys in FCW?
