Because they're old & boring, long-winded, slow & I'm tired of seeing them on TV all of these years later? Lemme guess, another Steph promo where she berates people without any repercussions and some more matches with Henry & Show where they move like molasses & the crowd don't give a fuck? Yeah, best people on the roster, for sure!

Can we change the stip to no matter who wins Kane, Mark Henry, The Big Show, Stephanie McMahon & Triple H are all off TV?

My mother is in her fifties and still can't figure out the digital cable remote control. I wouldn't even want to see her try to figure out how to turn on a computer, let alone work one.

I already subscribed to the WWE Network, so even if it weren't a free month, I would be able to watch Survivior Series. That being said, as part of having the WWE Network, even if the build-up is bad or I don't care about any of the matches, I always watch the live PPVs. It's just a lot of value & a big perk of being a subscriber. I wonder if this free month was more a test to see how many people actually ARE cheap & don't get the network so they can find out if the $9.99 is the problem or not. I don't think it is, personally. I think it's more the technological barrier & people not wanting to watch wrestling on something other than their television. I mean, you can get a Roku device & all that stuff, or stream to your TV or whatever but not a lot of people older than me are familiar with that sort of thing. I read recently that WWE's biggest demographic is people 40+ years of age.

Diamond Studd / Razor Ramon / Scott Hall (1, 2, 3) I didn't see his name in the Nominees thread. I enjoyed both his Wrestlemania & SummerSlam Ladder matches with Shawn Michaels and his upset match with 1-2-3 Kid. I think he should be nominated.

If I ever get banned here, I hope I'm memorable enough to get a multiple page thread bashing me.

Hansen, Flair, Funk, Misawa, Kawada, Kobashi. Those are my six definite names. I'm a real big fan of Big Van Vader, Dr. Death and a few others but I'm not sure where they will end up yet.

André the Giant -VS- Hulk Hogan for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. Former friends. André, whom is seemingly unbeatable & never had a desire for the championship before, is corrupted by Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, turns on his friend & wants the belt. Hogan as the top dog babyface during an incredible run, doesn't want to fight his friend at first. The crucifix is ripped off, Hogan agrees to the match. Wrestlemania III, biggest house ever, Hogan manages to not only win but slam the unbeatable Giant to retain his title. There's controversy regarding an early pinfall attempt which gives WWF another year worth of material to build to Wrestlemania IV, where a tournament is held for the title and both men get a first round bye. The match itself at WM3 wasn't full of good work but man, the emotion & atmosphere was great. The buildup & story was great. It was the two biggest guys colliding at the biggest show over the biggest prize.

I have got to stop staying up all hours of the night watching pro-wrestling for this greatest wrestler ever project. It's going to kill me! Educated myself tonight on The Destroyer and got bonus Mil Mascaras along the way. Can't believe the level of shit they were doing all the way back in 1974. Can't believe the quality of some of the video footage on youtube from that era either, honestly. Good stuff. There was a spot in the first fall that ended with Mascaras having a high-angle Boston Crab on The Destroyer that I completely marked out for. 3AM marking out at a wrestling match from 40 years ago. THAT is pro-wrestling.

My biggest problem areas are a lack of Lucha & having a tough time equating current guys to past guys. Also a lot of stuff before 1981. Stan Hansen Terry Funk Ric Flair Mitsuharu Misawa Toshiaki Kawada Kenta Kobashi "Dr. Death" Steve Williams Big Van Vader Bret Hart Rick Rude Ted DiBiase Randy Savage Jerry Lawler Ricky Steamboat Tito Santana Eddie Guerrero Ricky Morton Rey Mysterio, Jr. Dusty Rhodes Dustin Rhodes Harley Race Nick Bockwinkel Bobby Eaton Barry Windham Curt Hennig Arn Anderson Jushin "Thunder" Liger The Undertaker Shawn Michaels Daniel Bryan Steve Austin Rick Martel Greg Valentine Cactus Jack and I'll have zero issue putting Stan Hansen at #1. Also, for whatever it's worth, when talking about this on Twitter, I'll use #ProWrestlingOnly & #Top100

Man, I'm not feeling that Survivor Series main event at all. John Cena, Erik Rowan, Dolph Ziggler, The Big Show & Ryback - VS - Seth Rollins, Luke Harper, Mark Henry, Rusev & Kane. The "big surprise" was freakin' Erik Rowan? Can we replace Erik Rowan, The Big Show, Ryback, Mark Henry & Kane?
-
Speaking of, is there a way we can get more people to register? I really enjoy reading the thread about new posters here, posting how they got into wrestling, where they're from & what not. It would be cool if we could attract more peeps.
-
I've seen a lot of big fat guys or jacked up muscle guys in pro-wrestling. Everyone from Earthquake, One Man Gang & King Kong Bundy to Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior & The Warlord. I have never seen anyone get as gassed as Ryback was tonight...and that's coming from someone that watched Davey Boy Smith! I thought he was going to pass out.

I have had IPS errors both here & DVDVR. Outside of it being a problem on the end of the forum, for updates or whatever, it is usually resolved by me clearing out my internet Cache. Which if I let it go too long just eats memory, I guess? That's always the first fix I try is clearing out my cache/history & reloading the page completely with Alt+F5.
-
So we can be banned from the forum for things we say on Twitter? I might be in trouble then!
-
Will do. Think I'm going with just the three as I might not be happy with the fourth. Artist said he has some backlog so it might not be in time for Christmas, which is fine.

WWE needs to show video packages on RAW of the new content that gets added to the Network. Not just "hey, Attitude era, guys!" or "Remember how CRAZY ECW was, huh?" Like 3-4 minute catch-up videos showing you what's there & why it's important. Have people on the current roster put the wrestlers over and talk about how enthralling the stories were & what not. I think that could help. If you have people on RAW being excited for something fans might be more excited too & inclined to watch. Even if it's before 1995.

I feel bad for those people; never giving wrestlers like Misawa, Kawada or Kobashi a chance, in example. When I got my early 90's AJPW VHS comp. tape from Goodhelmet years ago, it changed my entire perspective of professional wrestling. I never want to go back!
-
WWE is smart though. Big lists like this always spark controversy & debate, which will lead to more hits & more people tweeting about them. Just puts their name out there more.

My girlfriend, for a Christmas present, is going to commission an artist to draw an original art piece of my favorite wrestlers, that I can frame & hang on the wall. My trouble is coming up with the four wrestlers I want on it! I know I want Terry Funk, Stan Hansen & probably Dr. Death. Can't decide on the fourth. Maybe André. Still, that's a super sweet idea & gift.

Natalya v. Charlotte from NXT one of the best 100 matches ever. Who knew? Fucking L-O-L. Or maybe it's not a "BEST" 100 matches list, whatever. That match was still an overrated pile that made my eyes roll. Natalya might be the most overrated worker on the entire roster. Actually, come to think of it, I can't think anyone close to her in the overrated category. Maybe Dolph? I honestly feel like she gets overrated just cause of her name.
-
I feel like I have already seen Tanahashi Vs. Okada so many times, that I don't really want to see it anymore. Even if all the match have at least been good. I'm clamoring for the likes of Nakamura, Ishii & Shibata to get a chance to shine at the top. Still questioning the decisions of the G1 Climax.

I like matches that build to a finish. When there's a beginning-middle-end. And where stuff that happens in the beginning isn't forgotten at the end. Whether is be limb work, or a feeling out process of exchanges with one person getting the better of the other or someone using a tactic that is countered later or whatever. It's hard to do that in like ten minutes cause there wasn't enough time to build to the middle, let alone the end. In example: Ric Flair works over Dusty Rhodes leg. Rhodes limps, can't walk & can't do a lot of his offensive stuff. Flair gets a Figure Four early but Rhodes makes it to the ropes. Flair goes for a Figure Four late and gets it reversed into a Small Package. That all makes sense to me. It can still work if Dusty goes into the match hurt so you don't have to do as much to put over that you've killed his leg/knee but you still need the parts where it shows how bad it is on Dusty's end so that he basically can't even walk. Sometimes you just need the 20 minutes.

Loved him as a worker, at least before the rebound Lariat got too overused. As a commentator, from what I've heard from him in ROH, I'm not a big fan, no.

I personally definitely do not want Nigel doing color. Nor Don West that some on DVDVR suggested. Can JR do it solo? If we have to have a color guy, I would say Foley. Cactus worked in Japan although not sure if he has knowledge of current NJPW.
