Iron Anderson

I find it odd that George Scott (JCP days) hasn't been mentioned once.

I think they have enough for 2 tag-team titles. Or 2 divisions with the champions floating. New Day, Enzo/Cass, Anderson/Gallows, Dudleys, Golden Truth, Shining Stars, American Alpha, Usos, Breezango, Vaudevillains, Ascension, and Hype Brothers. That's 12 teams. You also have Revival in NXT and the option of Harper/Rowan when Harper returns. That gives you 14 teams. As for the Women. Charlotte, Sasha, Dana Brooke, Paige, Nia Jax, Alicia Fox, Summer Ray, Becky Lynch, Natalya, Naomi, Alexa Bliss, Eva Marie, and Carmella. That's 13 women. Plus at some point Emma, Tamina, and maybe Nikki return. That's brings the total up to 16. Call up Bayley and Asuka and you have 18. Imo that's enough for 2 Womens titles. It's enough for 2 divisions with the champion floating. RAW: WWE, Tag-Team, US, Womens, Cruisers SDL. World, Tag-Team, IC, Womens. I still think they shoulda split the Women and Cruisers off. One too RAW the other SDL.

The best thing to happen to WWE would be for SDL to be cancelled. They take a revenue hit short term but gain in the long term when it comes to presenting the product now and in the future. They have a lot of revenue streams and ain't goin broke anytime soon. They didn't need a brand split to pull off being forced into going live Tuesday nights. If anything they need to keep NXT as a brand strong in growth potential. That coulda tied into going live Tuesdays. A 3hr. RAW isn't to long if presented correctly. Monday Night RAW is all they need. The only way I see a SDL working is if they did a dozen a year on the Thursday night prior to the Sunday PPV. Using it as promotional tool to hopefully create subscriptions/buys. Either that or Sundays the day of the shows themselves. If it were my call RAW would move to Thursday Nights Live. Thu: RAW Fri: Houseshows (Off PPV Week) Saturday: Houseshows (Off PPV Week) Sunday: Houseshows (PPV) Mon: Off Tue: Off Wed: Off

This is a great thread in regards to everyone's taste in matches. Has anyone considered pinning it? I have made a dozen or so of these over many years. Have also made dozens of changes as well. I'm sure others have too. That's the best part about making a greatest match list. The ability to subtract and add. Much prefer this to a goat wrestler list. Think I'll add one of my own.

They should give Big E a shot. Minus the New Day nonsense. Just have Big E as a modern equivalent of Taz or something.

Flair worked tags when he came to Crockett from Gagne. Had to be in the house when Flair was working tags in the mid-late 70's. There's footage of Flair working tags but obviously not to the extent of Terry Funk. Those who were there know how great Flair was in a tag-team environment.

I can't believe Bagwell/Scorpio even made the honorable mentions list.

Great review.

Flair/Steamboat take this. There was enough breaks in the action to make it feel fresh. Lawler/Dundee was an A side/B side. Then it became a greatest hits.

I remember the Stossel incident. But what are the opinions of him as a wrestler in-ring? He could cut a nasty promo but in-ring work is few and far between. He came across as a mean sob in his interviews. I know he was difficult to work with by account. What's with this guy?

Is this the right place to ask? Anyone ever reviewed this guy? What are the opinions of him? I know there's not a lot of stuff. Curious.

A lot of stuff in the last 15/20yrs that involve tables, ladders, chairs, etc. it just looks so bad when driving to the destination. I guess this doesn't fall under the op? but it really has stood out over the last several years and it's bad. I guess it comes down to the table spots. Just awful stuff.

This is a tough question because it involves everything from the spark to the fire of a lot programs. Tough question when you really think about it. It's easier to name a great episode with a great match or matches attached to it. It's another thing if it's an angle and/or angles.

Did Johnny Valentine get a nod? How about Paul Jones?

When it comes to Savage I'm a pre-90 Savage guy. Mostly pre-87. Where does everyone else fall when it comes to Savage?

I really regret not getting my ballot in. I'm also surprised I'm not the only one who is so anti Bret Hart. I use to take a lot of shit a decade ago at the old KM and even Classics for not sheeping Hart. Seeing Arn Anderson come in at #19 is a bit of a surprise to me. I've always thought AA was in the upper echelon of pro wrestling. It's amazing that so many feel that way and have pushed him to #19. I had him at #16 had I got my ballot in. I've always felt you could drop AA anywhere at anytime and he would excel. Can't say that about just anybody.

Wahoo McDaniel in his heyday when he would begin his fired up babyface comeback with the war dance working the crowd into a frenzy and begin throwing every type of chop imaginable to the chest and head. Ric Flair for the reasons that were outlined by JerryvonKramer. Can't be explained any better really. Ron Garvin for the real damage it inflicted.

The great thing about a well executed chop is it plays to the entire arena. A series of stiff chops also registers visibly where punches don't. It's part of the magic in the work so to speak. Organically working chops into a match as opposed to performing chops hoping they will work are two different things. If that makes any sense.
