  1. 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
  2. Awesome HHH reveal Steven 65 left for me after Patterson
  3. Meltzer bio is great stuff
  4. 33 down after Bruno, Thesz, Rogers and Luger dropping
  5. 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
  6. Not counting Necro
  7. 28 down after that last round of names
  8. If I'm in the TV ad I promise to be more enthusiastic than my last podcast ad
  9. Scott Hall makes it 22 for me
  10. Haha at the Ivan pic. 21 down for me
  11. 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 😀
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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?
  16. Yes, thanks I'm up to 20 names so far
  17. Unfortunately, probably more people than any PWO show save Zellner's or maybe WTBBP

  19. 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.
  20. My vote for worst match I've ever seen
  21. I think I'm really going to like the list that has Gorgeous George at number 5
  22. That's probably the best assessment. Number of great matches being weighted so heavily bugged me a lot, especially if it was more important than how someone performs. Some people were just in positions to have a TON of great matches and to have those seen by a lot of people. Others did not. The folks who didn't get those chances aren't necessarily worse than those who did. Being in position means they still have to take advantage of that opportunity. And doing so may very well be why they're so often put in such a position. True. However looking at someone like Bret who constantly had to face pirates, dentists, clowns and everybody else and compare that to Kobashi who got to face Misawa, Kawada, Taue, etc.. There is no way Bret would ever be able to equal that many great matches in that situation. Does that mean Kobashi is automatically better? He may be better, but there is more to it than that. Preach on brother
  23. I did. But it's already been established my list was written on the back of a napkin during a work break a few weeks ago. Lol
  24. I dunno, at least Graham's universe was full of headlining 20,000 + sellouts for a super hot territory and not part of cards that couldn't draw flies to shit, if you want to be technical about it. (You know I love ya Parv, don't sick the feds on me for subversive statements)
