  1. Well, it speaks to the devotion to the show LU fans have, while Smackdown and TNA are, no offense to anyone who watches every week, not exactly must watch TV
  2. I guess I'm a heartless bastard too because none of that bothered me
  3. 62 left. I was hoping for 60% of the top 100, but I'm guessing I'll lose more than two in the next reveal
  4. Don't worry, I'm sure all the "right" names will make the top 50 or so
  5. The more I think about it the more I'm really disappointed Bruno didn't crack the top 100. Fuck it, I should've pulled a Jack Webb and slotted him at number 1 and maybe that would've put him over the top. And Fredo, er I mean Parv, you broke his heart
  6. Awesome HHH reveal Steven 65 left for me after Patterson
  7. Meltzer bio is great stuff
  8. 33 down after Bruno, Thesz, Rogers and Luger dropping
  9. Two men died coincidently following matches with Ox Baker-Alberto Torres and Ray Gunkel-and he used it as part of his character afterwards, claiming the heart punch killed them
  10. Not counting Necro
  11. 28 down after that last round of names
  12. If I'm in the TV ad I promise to be more enthusiastic than my last podcast ad
  13. Scott Hall makes it 22 for me
  14. Haha at the Ivan pic. 21 down for me
  15. Haven't got that far, but I agree that they are a great combo. And Stacey's giving Will a run for his money in the f-bomb department!

    NXT talk

    Loved the fans chanting "he's 11" and "11, 11, 11" for Nakamura during his match with Dillinger. Although I made the mistake of watching NXT with my wife and sister playing a game in the background, and as a result Shinsuke was misheard by them as "shit stain" and I'll never be able to hear his name without thinking about that again 😀
  17. I think he may be referring to Frankie Hill, the future Jules Strongbow, and a match with him and Robinson vs Stevens and Patterson that is on the AWA WWE dvd
  18. http://deadspin.com/the-profane-teachings-of-johnny-rodz-the-wrestler-who-1688109003?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow Nice piece on the Unpredictable One from Deadspin describing an average day at his Brooklyn wrestling club
  19. Yeah, but Parv and Chad have covered EVERY WCW SHOW along the way, not just the Starrcade's. What makes just covering every Starrcade so impressive?
  20. Yes, thanks I'm up to 20 names so far
  21. Unfortunately, probably more people than any PWO show save Zellner's or maybe WTBBP
  22. http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/18970-bret-hart-vs-ric-flair/?hl=%2Bbret+%2Bhart+%2Bric+%2Bflair Abandon all hope ye who enter here
  23. You are clearly a person of surpassing taste and quality. I will wear my new avatar with pride. George gets big points from me for basically inventing the act that gave us Flair, and to a lesser extent Bockwinkel, and hence all of their imitators. Every time I see a George match I see a spot I wish someone would steal today. Plus I once saw him hit the mother of all piledrivers on some match on ESPN Classic back in the 90s I haven't been able to find since. Amazing worker who would have gotten over any place, any time. That's a pretty compelling argument in a tiny paragraph, actually. Not the sort of direction I'd go, but you pass the gauntlet. I had George at 94 I think. I'm not going to claim that he has a ton of great matches on tape or whatever, but his peak as a draw and household name was HUGE, basically the biggest wrestling star between Londos in the 30s and Hogan in the 80s and surely one of the top 10 stars ever. Also hugely influential as Lee pointed out.
