Lawler-Slater, Lawler-Superstar and Lawler-Sweetan should all be gold. I took the plunge, Bruce. Feed me some Lawler!!!!!

This is awesome man but you gotta give people a heads up!!! Some people have to work for a living!!!!

I am guessing Lawler did the Piledriver match with Sweetan around the horn.

Did Jerry Lawler ever work Houston? I know he worked Florida and San Antonio during this time. I was hoping we have some Lawler in Houston. That would be amazing.

I didn't catch that part.... did you say Roz-in or Rose-in? Roz-in is absolutely the correct thing to say and is used to make things stick.

Japan is still in!!! LOL

1. Agreed 2. Meltzer gives ballots to people he thinks are worthy. You might not think they are worthy. I may not think they are worthy but Meltzer does. The fact that Phil Schneider and Dean Rasmussen don't have ballots is a travesty in my eyes when DVDVR was just as influential of a hub of wrestling opinions for wrestlers (including guys on the ballot) as it was for fanboys like us. 3. Agreed 4. There are plenty of hubs for discussion and debate. Those who would use them are already using them. Seems like way too many people votes. Ben Miller has had one since 2001 - that should tell you all you need to know. I have no idea who Ben Miller is. Anyway, treating the Observer Hall of Fame like a sports Hall of Fame is a mistake. It is more akin to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame where certain types get in and others get abandoned regardless of accomplishments and rely on the arbitrary rules of one person.

I finally took the plunge and bought the service. I jumped right into Wahoo vs. Spoiler and the first and third falls were pretty awesome. Wahoo had two moves the entire match.... a chop and an elbow drop and the chops were glorious. I really liked the stuff with the mask and the claw in the third fall and can't wait to see a rematch between these two.

I'll say this about the Castle match... I hated the finish live but seeing the way Castle reacts on the TV taping made it worth it. The Young BUcks vs. Silas Young & The Beer Bully was also super fun so they have that going for them.

Eh, fuck Kane... just fucking leave already.

John Cena vs. Sting - This was turning into the best Sting match since probably 1998 up until the weird finish where Sting was either legit damaged or it was bad booking. Either way, I really liked the match until the ending.

John Cena vs. Seth Rollins - This was a fun match but, man, I hate that Davey Richards tribute act bullshit. I think it is sort of fucked up that Rollins has to fight two matches in a row and if Sting doesn't win, he looks like a bitch.

I might ban you.

Lesnar would have been an awesome third guy. It wouldn't make sense but it would be awesome.

The Wyatt Family vs. Ambrose, Reigns & Y2J - Well, I prefer Jericho over Kane - Another exhibit on why they should have never broken up the Shield or the Wyatts. These guys excel in 6 man tags and Stroman’s weaknesses are hidden in this format. - Really strong match where Jericho didn’t really add anything special or detract from the match. - I enjoyed this a bunch.

Fucking selling the leg on the strut!!!! Extra star!!!!

Charlotte vs. Nikki Bella - Great legwork by Nikki. She was relentless - One thing I really liked when Nikki had Charlotte’s leg wrapped in the ropes, Charlotte actually hit Nikki in the face before she broke the hold instead of just screaming like a dummy - Seriously, even in Nikki’s pin, she hooks the goodleg but puts the weight of her leg on the bad one. - A couple of points off for hooking the wrong leg on the single crab but it is forgiven - Nikki breaking the backslide by kicking the leg and following with a Suplex to the turnbuckle was awesome - Ric Flair coming out made it worth it. My favorite match of the night so far

New Day vs. Dudleys New Day's act is gold. Dudleys act is stale. I was entertained because I had heard about the trombone but never saw it until now. Hopefully, the Dudleys are one and done. Time has passed them by.

Rusev vs. Dolph Ziggler - Much better than the SummerSlam match. - Rusev wrestles like a guy who is pissed at his opponent for buying his girlfriend earrings. That is the difference between Rusev and Kyle O’Reilly - Man, I am not picking them tonight. Rusev should win every match.

Ryback vs. KEvin Owens Man, I thought this was building to a real peak and I loved Owens using the Fujiwara armbar but the abrupt ending was lame.

Cosmic Guys vs. Little Guys This was fun and the crowd was hot for the match. 0-1 in predictions. On a sidenote, I am interested in seeing the JBL interview show.

No... I saw them for the first time at the DGUSA debut in 2009. I had a blast watching them live. On tape, it got old quick.

Shit, what's Big Show's status? That's another guy the crowd doesn't care about who could match up with the big oaf.

As for the mystery run in... man, with that big guy who can't work on the other side, Kane would be the most likely guy as another big guy who sucks to match up with him. Too bad Brock is a part timer. Brock killing the Wyatts would be fun.
