I would love to know what the caller expected from Steve when he brought it up.

Anyone hear Austin on Keller (I think) about a month ago? A caller tried to ask him about the assault on Debra in 2002. Uncomfortable radio for 30 seconds followed....

I brought up the subject without really having thought about it a great deal. As I said I was more curious about it's lack of profile here generally than anything else. Thinking about it I can see why it could be considered behind the times - the best articles tend to be historical like their series on the WWWF/WWF/WWE title last year, and there's a definite fondness for yesteryear in their history of PPV recaps. But I still see it as relevant today, and thought it might be interesting to note the top 10 in the PS 50 from the last few years... 2013 (first to tenth) - Okada, Tanahashi, Bryan, Nakamura, Ishii, Orton, Punk, Prince Devitt, Shibata, Ibushi 2012 - Tanahashi, Aries, Punk, Okada, Devitt, Bryan, CIMA, Naito, Steen, Styles 2011 - Tanahashi, Orton, Davey Richards, Devitt, Shingo Takagi, Christian, Angle, Punk, Ibushi, Takashi Sugiura 2010 - Angle, Davey Richards, Tanahashi, Devitt, Sugiura, Takagi, Go Shiozaki, Marafuji, Sabin, Seth Rollins (Tyler Black in RoH) 2009 - Mysterio, Kenta, Tanahashi, Davey Richards, Styles, Punk, Orton, Danielson, Angle, Jeff Hardy Thinking about it, some of them might be problematic here......

Can I ask everyone this too?

Same access - everything up to and including 1996,or 1996 and beyond.

Up to and including, or 1996 onwards....

That was quick! Thanks Loss. What year would we have to use as a divider to make it a harder decision for you?

Years ago, I remember a common discussion point being 'if you could only watch the matches of one wrestler, who would it be?' This is slightly different: If you could only watch wrestling before or after 1996, which would you pick?

.....and they have a REALLY, REALLY hard time saying anything constructive about Cena as a worker.

So I'm not completely insane? Thanks lads! I was thinking that the Angle/HBK bias wouldn't go down too well here. But other than that I couldn't see why it wasn't/isn't discussed more.

Thanks Matt. Could you elaborate on that a bit though. I can't remember who it was but there was a discussion about the type of fans that gather here very recently. I'm not clear about how Power Slam deviates from that.

Hi everyone. I wanted to get people's thoughts on Power Slam magazine. If you've no idea what I'm talking about, perhaps a few words by way of intro would help. Power Slam is a UK based magazine, covering mainly US and Japan wrestling. It's been around since the summer of 1994. Every December they run a PS 50 - Top wrestlers for the previous 12 months. I've been lurking on this board for over a year, and can't remember seeing any mention of the magazine. I think it got a quick mention on Chad and Parv's show about the UK scene. I would have thought it quite a relevant/prestigious mag, but perhaps I'm completely wrong? Thoughts anyone?

Hello, I'm Mick Murphy from Newry, Northern Ireland. I'm 36, a fan since 1990-91. Started with WWF, then through Power Slam magazine (I'd love to get talking more about that sometime..) I ventured into tape trading in the mid-90s and covered a lot of the pimped stuff around then. Probably leaned more on WWF during attitude era but have been filling the blanks gradually since then. Never stopped watching entirely, but new to boards etc. I've been lurking on the site since the start of last year.
