Ricky Jackson

That should be a pretty good main event for Fastlane

God, these shows really do seem endless

New Day, Sasha, AJ, Owens...things aren't completely bleak on 2016 Raw

Clearly this is meant to be the first chapter in a feud between them, so AJ isn't going to finish him off with a Styles Clash

They basically undid all the positive work with Reigns in one night and are back to square one with him. Right now it seems like Reigns vs HHH is destined to bomb huge unless the plan is to make HHH top babyface

Yeah I kinda wish we got to see that match instead. Lol. Race and Martel was too workratey for my tastes

That would actually be an interesting match to build

Like Jimmy Redman said, Sasha Motherfucking Banks!

I think the max bet for WWE matches is around $50 because insiders could clean up otherwise

http://placetobenation.com/tag-teams-back-again-episode-14-action-personified/ Kelly and Marty dig into the obscure corners of 1987 WWF and come up with another exciting batch of footage, this time highlighted by the phenomenon of the Jumping Bomb Angels The Shadows vs Scott Casey and SD Jones, 9/12 Boston Jumping Bomb Angels vs Leilani Kai and Judy Martin, 6/24 Louisville Jumping Bomb Angels vs Leilani Kai and Judy Martin, 7/16 Lake Placid Hart Foundation vs Strike Force, 10/27 Syracuse Demolition vs Ken Patera and Billy Jack Haynes, 11/7 Boston (Marty watched this one) Demolition vs Ken Patera and Billy Jack Haynes, 11/7 Philly (Kelly watched this one) Jumping Bomb Angels vs The Glamour Girls, 11/24 MSG Strike Force vs Hart Foundation, 11/24 MSG Playlist (Including bonus matches) Harts vs Strike Force title change

Pretty sure Sting is done

Legend in Stampede as well as Archie "The Stomper" Gouldie. Probably the top heel in the history of the territory

Is HHH really booked to win this or are fans just being paranoid and fearing the worst?

Exactly. He may be a "great heel" but does anybody seriously think the fans want to boo him? Ever? See Austin, Steve 2001

Yeah, I think 09 and 10 was much worse than now, at least as far as Raw is concerned. You also didn't have the alternative of NXT (not counting the early days of that show, but I guess there was ECW and good matches on Superstars, although I missed that stuff) and the general feeling that indy darlings could get pushed at that time. It was a nadir in company history that I'd put up with 95 IMO

Enjoy your cultural relevance while you can, as you slide towards 40 and begin to slowly lose touch with all that is hip and modern

Great find! All it needs is a Mr Fuji match

Philly Bruno vs Larry matches are awesome. The legend goes that Crazy James still haunts certain places online, so you may be able to acquire his comps with a little searching

We basically only do the after show awards when Parv remembers to bring it up

Lawler vs Dundee was on youtube but it's now blocked by WWE. How long have they had rights to Memphis footage? That's news to me

Ha...Parv you pretty much nailed it. In fact, Matt and I had a conversation on Facebook a few minutes ago where we pretty much explained ourselves exactly the same way. Yes, I'm "anti-workrate" in the sense that I feel that watching great matches as the be-all-and-end-all to be limiting. For me, so much greatness in wrestling comes from stupid bullshit like the TNT show or insane Kal Rudman commentary. I love professional wrestling, everything and anything that goes with it

I find it odd that you're arguing for a broader concept of the project when you have, by your own admission, made little effort to broaden your horizons beyond U.S./Canada. Yeah I knew someone would call me out for that the second I posted it. What can I say, I'm both anti-workrate centric and hopelessly pro US/Canadian wrestling. I'm probably not qualified to vote in a project such as this, but since I can, I will

Booking a bonus, unannounced main event like on this show was an old Watts trick that he used back in his Mid South days. He liked to advertise the fact that if you went to a Mid South show you got more than what you paid for

I'm totally with brain. I understand Greatest Wrestler Ever sounds a lot better than Greatest Worker Ever or Greatest In-ring Ever, but discounting promos, angles, historical importance, even drawing power, pretty much prevents this list from determining the greatest wrestler ever. I'm going to make a list. It's not going to include many non-American/Canadian workers, and I'm not trying to fill any gaps, watch a ton of footage of wrestlers I haven't seen, or try and come up with a formula for ranking wrestlers. Hopefully by 2026 we are, as a group, maybe a bit more open to looking at the overall package.

I'm a mix of streaming, torrents and comps. Whatever the situation dictates. First option is look for it online, last is buying a comp. Usually find what I need before going the latter route
