Release the results, then hate a vote on who's on the podcast discussing them

I think it sucks. But arbitrary and stupid things happen at offices everywhere. This is just the BS one finds in the workplace there.

Off the top of my head Arn may place highest on my list of those without a run of singles MOTYCs.

I don't get the criticism there either. He likes modern New Japan quite a bit, but has also been very quick to note business slipping, especially recently. If its not someone's taste they're not obligated to share his appreciation of it. Reviewing matches isn't objective reporting.

Fortunately, there's no reason to rush it due to Bryan's health. Save it for down the road. Lord knows they need living headliners.

That's the great thing about opinions and feelings.

Really interesting interview with him on Sportscenter. Short story is they found a lesion on his brain which it turns out was causing post-concussion seizures he'd been hiding. Frightening stuff. Hopefully good health for him the rest of the way.

The Andre comparison is vey, very interesting for the reasons you noted. I'd have the Bryan match above Hansen or Khan for Andre. Not sure about the Foley Rumble match. After that not sure Andre has anything touching trip's top 10.

The DA tags are fun but I don't see how anything in the 90s makes or breaks Windham's case. Just not enough relevance there unless you're eager to punish someone for their post-prime work.

Haven't thought about him but will. Gut is no but until I start writing down and then removing names I can't be sure. By the way the thought of actually constructing a list is beyond daunting. Have had so much fun watching and thinking about the list but I have no clue when and how I'll start putting pen to paper.

All-time incredible moment. Will not be forgetting any part of that anytime soon.

Damn close to tears during the opening video. I am such a bitch. Hopefully we get the shenanigans out of the way and end up with an all-time memorable Raw.

Here's hoping he has long and healthy post-wrestling life. One of the best ever.

Not sure I could point to many Dusty classics, but do think the Flair match at Starrcade and perhaps a couple others are in that range. But I also enjoy just about every Dusty match I come across. His charisma kicks just about everything he touches north of watchable and is an underrated part of a slew of multi-man matches and brawls in Crockett and Midsouth. Absolute lock on my list. One of the few wrestlers, fair or unfair, where its near impossible to separate the in-ring from the out of ring because of sheer force of personality.

Bring back the play by play and description!

Went to a number of ROH shows with friends that often involved getting shitfaced because there was no way they were going to watch wrestling without alcohol. So while I barely remember Joe & Danielson vs. KentaFuji, I do remember how much fun we had chanting for Joe all night. But those nights were few and far between. I'll always have a drink (meaning a single drink) before going out to dinner on Saturday and will usually watch some wrestling then, but that's not exactly getting hammered. Otherwise generally stone cold sober unless someone comes over to watch a PPV and we crack a beer. Basically its like going to or watching a game. If I really want to enjoy it then that's not a night to consume copiously.

I have no earthly idea what possessed me to click on this thread again this morning. But I did. And your review of this film validated and rewarded my decision to do so. While I have zero interest in checking this out, that was some funny shit.

Bull, Hokuto, Kong, Toyota, perhaps Nagayo. Those are the only joshi performers who will rank ahead of her on my list. But Oz will absolutely rank. A personal favorite heel performer. Brought so much subtlety to the table. Only question is how high I can justify her.

While I can't justify placing him as of 2/6/2016, I fully expect him to merit greater consideration 2 or 4 years from now.

Every single one of his matches feels like I'm watching a 15 year old kid fight an adult. Its not fair, its not right but it is exactly what I think when watching them. There's little basis to justify him reading a list of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, much less placing on one, given that. I'm someone who couldn't care less about whether a strike looks like a shoot, but his offense is more reminiscent of our middle school Gilbert & Sullivan renditions than rasslin.

Neither do many nominees, but that ain't the point.

That would make me very happy.

Boom! Consider it done.

Looking to kill some time before dinner tonight and after watching some classic wrestling all afternoon I want something a little lighter or fun. How about a suggestion of a '97 or later WCW PPV for me to tee up on the network?

Card subject to change, but Danielson is currently my #4. Really wanted to get him at #1 but I can't justify it right now.
