Although It might changes after I watch this set, I definitely agree with this. Fujinami was the man for NJ in the 80's and the fact he stayed the whole decade is another reason he'd be in so many matches.

I also 2nd the Dusty/Backlund match. Fun dream matchup with Dusty kinda playing the heel and Backlund getting busted open trying to retain the title. I also like the 3 gauntlet match for the Jr. title with Cobra/Dynamite and Davey. Maybe each match was pretty short but I liked the whole thing as one big match. I was looking back at my Top 100 80's list I made about a year ago and was surprised the 8/8/88 Inoki/Fujinami match was 2nd overall for NJ. My old list for people to look at and chuckle at: http://floydscabana.blogspot.com/2008/07/t...hes-of-80s.html By the way once again I'm not complaining! The comp looks awesome and I know the final matchlist is already set. I know after watching hundreds of hours the last thing you guys want to hear is bitching about matches being left off.

Holy crap this is going to be awesome. 175 is ALOT but I publicly vow here in front of the witnesses at prowrestlingonly to somehow get my ballot in. Was waiting to see how many early decade Choshu/Fujinami matches would make it, I count 5! Kewl. I heard how good their series was but only saw 1 match and didn't want to go through the 1983 TV set and get a bunch of disks just for their series. So is the 4/19/84 Gauntlet considered one match? If I remember the entire thing was well over an hour, kickass the whole thing was put on. Also great the 5/1/86 Gauntlet match is on as I thought it was really fun and sets up Fujinami/Maede. Was hoping for the Inoki/Brody (4/18/85) and 86 hour match to make it, but that's cool. Also noticed neither Inoki Vs. Fujinami matches are in. The Hour match would've place high for me. Matches I never heard of but look AWESOME: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Steve Keirn (2/3 Falls) (2/1/80) Hiro Hase vs. Kuniaki Kobayashi (12/27/87) Tatsumi Fujinami, Shinya Hashimoto & Masa Chono vs. Tracy Smothers, Steve Armstrong & George Takano (11/11/88) Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Jerry Lawler (3/16/89) Jushin Liger vs. Black Tiger (European Rounds) (7/12/89) Also looking forward to Fujinami Vs. Hogan!

Much like the bible, Dave's musing could be either taken as literal or symbolic. It is up to the reader to decide and then join the proper splinter-group of his religion. But choose wisely. Edge Vs. Ric Rude. I like Rude better and think he's a better worker, but I think Edge has the edge for the HOF. I also don't think either are quite at HOF echelon level, but then again as much as I liked Masa Saito, I don't think he was quite there either. It's up to the voters and how thick the competition is in a certain year .

Great picks this year.Glad to see Bill Miller and the Midnight Express get in. I missed is discussion cause Ive been away.What do you guys think of Carlos Colon's future chances? Atlantis and Blue Panthr were lower than I'd thought.

************************************************************************* #4. Eddy Guerrero Vs. Rey Misterio Jr. Halloween Havoc (Title Vs. Mask - 10/26/97) Rey Mysterio finally gets his chance to win the WCW Crusierweight title, but he has to put his sacred mask on the line! Can Rey overcome the odds over Guerrero, who’s on an incredible hot streak? This is aerial moves galore. Guerrero just seems one step ahead at all times, but Rey refuses to surrender his mask!! He won’t stay down!! This is not only for himself, but for his family's wrestling legacy. ************************************************************************* #3. Ric Flair Vs. Ricky Steamboat WrestleWar (5/7/89) Part 3 of their 1989 trilogy. Steamboat's still the NWA World champ. This is the rematch due to the controversy caused in their Clash of the Champions match. Is this Flair’s last chance to finally beat The Dragon? They build on some of the moves from their past matches much like the Dynamite Kid/Tiger mask series. Since the Clash match was so close and nearly went the distance, there’s a panel of judges outside to vote on the winner in case their’s a draw. This is a slower paced match of the trilogy likely because both guys know each other so well and don't want to make a mistake their opponent could capitalize on. ************************************************************************* #2. Ric Flair Vs. Ricky Steamboat Chi-Town Rumble (2/20/89) Ric Flair was on top of the world. Despite tough defenses against Sting and Lex Lugar, he had managed to keep his World title for over a year. But during a tag team match, a mystery opponent pinned him clean in the ring. Who was it? Ricky Steamboat! Flair's own nemesis is back and gunning for the title. This is the first match of their classic 1989 trilogy. This one is less a chessmatch like future matches but a faster paced match. Look for Dave Meltzer marking out in the front row. ************************************************************************* #1. Ric Flair Vs. Ricky Steamboat Clash of the Champions VI (4/2/89) Match #2 in the classic trilogy. This was shown free on TV head to head with Wrestlemania 5. That punk Steamboat got lucky but now Flair’s ready and hungry to regain the NWA World Championship, a belt he has basically owned for the last 8 years. Every fall tells a different story. Both guys are at their peak and may have been the two greatest wrestlers in the world at the time of this match. Both guys attitudes and lifestyles and complete opposites, but they're absolutely even in the ring. One mistake, that's all it'll take. ************************************************************************* And there you have it. I ruined the Smarkshoice Greatest WCW matches of all time poll.

************************************************************************* #6. The 1992 Wargames WrestleWar (5/17/92) WARGAMES ROLE-CALL!: Sting, Barry Windham, Dustin Rhodes, Ricky Steamboat and Nikita Koloff Vs. The Dangerous Alliance (Steve Austin, Rick Rude, Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton and Larry Zbyszko) Paul E. Dangerously and his Dangerous Alliance have been running over everyone in WCW. So a bunch of Alliance-haters formed a supergroup and challenged them to one of the most dangerous matches around: The Wargames. Two men enter, then a coin is flipped giving the winner an advantage. Every few minutes the teams take turns sending a fresh man into the cage. The catch is the match cannot end inside the two rings of cages, until all participants have entered the cage. So if you break a leg tough luck, your locked in there. ************************************************************************* #5. Ric Flair Vs. Terry Funk Clash of the Champions IX (I-Quit match - 11/15/89) Flair and Funk had been feuding for months. Funk not only nearly broke Flair’s neck and took him out of wrestling forever, but even put a plastic bag around his neck and tried to suffocate him!! So they’ve decided on a end-all to any feud, an I-Quit match! Both men have too much pride to concede that the other man is better. Also, right before the match both guys decided to quit the NWA if they lose! A crazy historical brawl on free TV. *************************************************************************

************************************************************************* #8. Ric Flair Vs. Lex Luger Starrcade (12/26/88) Ric Flair defends the World title against Luger. Luger got robbed at the Bash when a trickle of blood caused the State Commission to stop the match. Now he gets his second shot at Space Mountain in the biggest show of the year. Plus due to Flair & The Horsemen's interferences, if Flair is DQ'ed Lugar WINS the belt! So it's put-up or shut-up time. ************************************************************************* #7. Rey Misterio Jr. Vs. Psicosis Bash at the Beach (7/7/96) Psicosis and Mysterio take their traveling act to WCW. Awesome match with spots that are still jaw dropping today. WCW's Cruserweight division was really taking off and this match made new fans of these high flyers and the division. Best opening match ever? *************************************************************************

************************************************************************* #9. The Nasty Boys Vs. Cactus Jack & Kevin Sullivan Slamboree (Streefight - 5/22/94) Once again the Nasty Boy's defend their WCW World Tag title in a Falls Count Anywhere anything goes Streetfight. This was in Philly so they took it up a notch and the fans were going crazy throughout the entire match. Hockey star Dave Schultz was the special referee. *************************************************************************

************************************************************************* #10. Ultimo Dragon Vs. Rey Misterio Jr World War III (11/24/96) Ultimo Dragon's defending his 8 Championship J Crown against Mysterio. Mysterio hold a victory over Ultimo back at Hog Wild so he's done it once before. Both guys have taken WCW by storm with their unique moves and this was a great opener for the PPV. Japan Vs. Mexico, who's cuisine will reign supreme? *************************************************************************

************************************************************************* #13. The Midnight Express Vs. The Southern Boys Great American Bash (7/7/90) The Express defend the U.S. Tag title against the Wild Eyed Southern Boys. The Southern Boys were good but this is ALL the Midnight Express deciding to make them look like the greatest team in the promotion. Full of great action, great timing and memorable comedy spots. When they were in control could the Midnight Express not have a great match? ************************************************************************* #12. Jushin Liger Vs. Brian Pillman Superbrawl (2/29/92) Viewers who go out and see this right now for the first time will say "What's the big deal?" Yeah it hasn't aged well, and even New Japan fans at the time wondered what all the fuss was about, but this match was awesome for it's time and helped kickstart the Cruserweight division in the United States. International superstar Liger won the new Crusierweight belt and this is Pillman's last chance to regain it for WCW before Liger heads back to Japan. The announcers really put this one over making both guys look great, which is why WWE's removal of Jesse Ventura's commentary is a mockery of a travesty of a sham of two crimes. ************************************************************************* #11. Sting Vs. Cactus Jack Beach Blast (Falls Count Anywhere - 6/20/92) WCW's Cactus Jack is one of my favorites growing up and this was his best match. Sting's the World champ but the title's not on the line here. When they say no mats they meant NO MATS. Not even a sliver of padding is on the concrete and Cactus Jack spends the whole match doing stupid shit like sunset flips off the apron and backdrops on the ramp. Sting's game too taking and doing spots on the floor. I'm sure I'm the highest voter for this but I love this match. *************************************************************************

************************************************************************* #17. The Nasty Boys Vs. Cactus Jack & Maxx Payne Spring Stampede (4/17/94) Insane No-DQ Streetfight that goes all over the place, not one second was in the ring. The announcers and cameramen are caught with their pants down at the unexpected craziness. The Nasty Boys were never known to pull back on a chairshot so stuff like actual pool sticks and tables were broken over Cactus's head. Never viewers may wonder what the big deal is, but for WCW this was awesome stuff in 94. ************************************************************************* #16. Juventud Guerrera Vs. Blitzkreig Spring Stampede (4/11/99) Blitzkrieg picked the right name cause he came out of nowhere with his lightning quick and devastating aerial moves. Here he takes on Juvy and they turn another ho-hum regular match into the sleeper hit of 99. ************************************************************************* #15. Juventud Guerrera, Hector Garza & Lizmark Jr. Vs. La Parka, Psicosis & Villano IV Bash at the Beach (7/13/97) I was always a fan of the lucha libre invasion in WCW and this was my favorite of them all. A non-stop crazy match, like a regular WCW lucha tag but on crack cocaine. Everything hit perfectly and the crowd really got into these WCW jabronis. ************************************************************************* #14. Chris Benoit Vs. Dean Malenko Hog Wild (8/11/96) The Four Horsemen explode! Probably have this too high but I always liked it. Both guys had a fantastic 30 minute back and forth match while drunk bikers who got in free watched on. As Dusty mentioned, watch about for those Devilish women on the outside. *************************************************************************

TOP 20!!!!!!! ************************************************************************* #20. Ricky Steamboat & Shane Douglas Vs. Barry Windham & Brian Pillman Starrcade (12/28/92) Windham split up with Goldust and got himself a new partner, former foe Brian Pillman. This is his chance to regain the tag belts he never should've lost. An awesome forgotten tag match at that years Starrcade. Windham & Pillman were an awesome team that sadly didn't last. And youngster Douglas plays Akiyama to Steamboat's Misawa. ************************************************************************* #19. Vader Vs. Sting Superbrawl (Strap Match - 2/21/93) A brutal anything goes strap match that only ends when you touch all 4 corners of the ring, dragging your unconscious opponent along with you. Sting's always the underdog in both size and power, but now he has to get as brutal as Vader can get. Awesome finish to their main PPV trilogy. ************************************************************************* #18. Ric Flair Vs. Lex Lugar WrestleWar (2/25/90) This was supposed to be Sting's title shot, but the dumbass went against the family so his fellow Horsemen turned him out and demolished his knee. So new #1 contender Lex Luger gets another shot. Can he finally win the big one? *************************************************************************

More matches! Were gonna hit 50, Dylan Waco! ************************************************************************* #25. The 1991 Wargames Wrestlewar (2/24/91) The teams are....... WARGAMES ROLLCALL!: The Four Horsemen (Ric Flair, Barry Windham, Sid Vicious & Larry Zbyszko) Vs. Stings Squadron (Sting, Brian Pillman and The Steiner Brothers) The Wargames was brought back in 1991 as an excuse for the Four Horsemen to get their ass's kicked. Zbysko's taking injured Arn Anderson's place here. Pillman's looking for revenge for a busted up shoulder, he'll have more injuries before the nights through. ************************************************************************* #24. Ricky Steamboat Vs. Rick Rude Beach Blast (Iron Man match - 6/20/92) The rules are whoever has the most number of falls in 30 minutes wins the match. A strategic match. Don't forget Steamboat still owes Rude a receipt for the broken nose. May not have aged well to newer eyes but at the time the concept was awesome. ************************************************************************* #23. Ric Flair Vs. Ricky Steamboat Saturday Night (5/15/94) After the disputed Spring Stampede match, Steamboat gets another chance at the WCW World title. This time it's on Free TV in a match that goes almost the full last hour. Over the hill? Nope. These guys went ALL OUT for this one. ************************************************************************* #22. Ric Flair Vs. Terry Funk Great American Bash (7/23/89) After nearly finishing Flair's career with a piledriver through a table, Flair finally gets his revenge against Funk at the Bash. Can Flair's fragile Fine-China-like neck take it? This isn't the end but only the beginning with a big brawl at the end setting up months of storylines. Even civilian Doug Dillinger gets involved. ************************************************************************* #21. The Midnight Express Vs. The Rock & Roll Express WrestleWar (2/25/90) The last hurray for these teams in 1990, it's a clip show for the awesomeness of their feud. Lots of great wrestling, silly house-show stuff and Ricky Morton playing Ricky Morton. Watching this match again reminded how fun wrestling can be. *************************************************************************

If you want to see an actual good list, the Greatest WCW matches of all time (which this is a ballot for) results are going up here: http://z11.invisionfree.com/Goonieschoice/...?showtopic=3309

************************************************************************* #30.5. Bret Hart Vs. Chris Benoit Nitro (10/4/99) Well it was bound to happen :-(. Somehow I left this match off my ballot! This looks about the right place I would've put this match. This was the Owen Hart tribute match broadcast on Monday Night Nitro. A scientific exhibition much like Bret and Owen's famous matches. Benoit was a close friend of Owen as well as being Stampede taught, making him the perfect opponent. This no nonsense match was in stark contrast to most of Nitro's typical TV matches in 1999. ************************************************************************* #30. Brian Pillman Vs. Johnny B. Badd Fall Brawl (9/17/95) The winner of this match will get a shot at Sting's U.S. title. Both are fan favorites but Pillman's turning a bit to the darkside to get that title shot. A hard fought back and forth match. I always thought Badd was underrated and better than most remember him, but it's definitely the Pillman's show here, who puits on an outstanding performance. ************************************************************************* #29. Eddy Guerrero Vs. Shinjiro Otani Starrcade (12/27/95) Great match in the Best of 7 New Japan Vs. WCW contest at Starcade 95. Guerrero's trying hard to get a win for WCW. A fantastic match on it's own, what really makes this match special is Otani's performance acting like a heel and the American fans easily picking it up. ************************************************************************* #28. Chris Benoit Vs. Kevin Sullivan Great American Bash (Falls Count Anywhere - 6/16/96) Crazy brawl that went everywhere. Both guys weren't even looking to win just beat the crap out of each other. Dusty Rhodes commentary is awesome. What's even crazier is it's possible that Benoit and Sullivan's wife were having their real life love affair (paralleling the storyline) at this time. ************************************************************************* #27. Sting & Lex Luger Vs. The Steiners Superbrawl (5/19/91) The Four biggest fan favorites go head to head in a fan's dream match. The best way to think about this is like an arcade game with god mode on. Every maneuver seemed like a finishing move and they were throwing bombs at each other. Plus the Steiners got to reveal alot of new moves to the fans. ************************************************************************* #26. Vader Vs. Cactus Jack Halloween Havoc (Texas Deathmatch - 10/24/93) After nearly paralyzing and ending Cactus Jack's career, he makes a big comeback and gets his chance for revenge here at Halloween Havoc. This is a Texas Deathmatch which means after your pinned, you have a 10 count to get back onto your feet or your lose. Cactus couldn't get up after Vader powerbombed him 7 months ago, can he get up this time? I bet I'm the highest vote for this one. *************************************************************************

************************************************************************* #35. Ultimo Dragon Vs. Dean Malenko Starrcade (12/29/96) A match with all the marbles on the line. Ultimo Dragon defends the J-Crown while Malenko defends the WCW Cruserweight title. So whoever wins has 9 Championship belts! Once again Malenko tries to ground Dragon but Ultimo knows his way around the mat as well as the air. ************************************************************************* #34. Sting Vs. Vader Great American Bash (7/12/92) Vader invades WCW and left a wake of bodies in his path. Sting defends the WCW World title against the juggernaut at the 92 Bash. Vader may seem unstoppable but this is motherfuckin' Sting were talking about! Should be a good match.. ************************************************************************* #33. Chris Benoit Vs. Chris Jericho Fall Brawl (9/15/96) Think this was Jericho's debut and they certainly delivered having a really great match that I think has been underrated. Both guys knew each other from Japan and went all out for this one. ************************************************************************* #32. Chris Benoit Vs. Raven Souled Out (1/24/98) A throwaway match put together at the last moment turned into a great one. Benoit takes on the diabolical and ever moody Raven. The Flock is at ringside watching on like New Japan trainees. Don't forget since this is "Raven Rules" it's a No-Dq match. ************************************************************************* #31. Vader Vs. Ric Flair Starrcade (12/27/93) The biggest show of the year was scheduled to be Sid Vicious Vs. Vader but things happened... So in a surprise the Nature Boy gets a chance to regain the WCW World title once again! Can he climb Space Mountain? Or is he too old? Was held in Flair's turf Charlotte to a red-hot rabid crowd. *************************************************************************

Speaking of Luger/Mean Mark, they should bring back the heart punch!

The 6-man tag is awesome and could be too low on my list, but I'm sure it'll do great on it's own. I bet it might be the top match that people saw for the first time cause of this poll (Like me). Was going to vote for the Handheld Landover and maybe Philly but decided not too. They're both tremendous matches (especially landover) but I have way too much Steamboat/Flair matches already... The only match that I REALLY wanted to see but didn't was the handheld Liger/Pillman from 12/91. Was there a great Steamboat/Luger handheld that took place before the Bash match? I seem to remember someone saying how awesome it was but it was years ago. ALso didn't vote for the WCW/New japan matches even though they were eligible. They just feel more New Japan then WCW. The Steiners Vs. Hase/Sasaki is a huge favorite of mine as a kid and would've made my Top 10.

************************************************************************* #40. Chris Jericho Vs. Eddy Guerrero Fall Brawl (9/14/97) The Atatolla of Rock N' Rolla defends the Crusierweight title against Eddy Guerrero. Eddy's a heel now, will that give him an edge? Great match from great wrestlers. ************************************************************************* #39. Chris Jericho Vs. Ultimo Dragon Bash at the Beach (7/13/97) Chris Jericho defends the title against former champ Ultimo Dragon. These guy met in Japan so they know each other well. If Jericho's the real deal he need to get past Ultimo who had a great run as champ. ************************************************************************* #38. Dustin Rhodes Vs. Bunkhouse Buck Spring Stampede (Bunkhouse Brawl - 4/17/94) A crazy and bloody anything goes Streetfight. Incredibly this intense brawl was just the beginning of the feud. Watch out for the Colonel! ************************************************************************* #37. Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton & Larry Zbyszko Vs. Ricky Steamboat, Dustin Rhodes & Nikita Koloff Saturday Night (2/3 Falls - 5/23/92) A fallout tag match from the Wargames. WCW had tremendous TV in 1992 and this was my favorite match out of it. Zbyszko's trying to make amends for past mistakes. All 6 guys gets lots of time in a 25+ minutes match with lots of action. ************************************************************************* #36. Ric Flair Vs. Hulk Hogan Bash at the Beach (7/17/94) Flair defends the WCW World title against the invading Hulkster. This was the big PPV matchup that the WWF had promised but never delivered. Flair puts on a great performance as does Hogan to re-boot WCW into a new era. *************************************************************************

I'm a bit surprised the Eddy Vs. Dean match is so high too, but I would've had it around somewhere. The NWO stuff and the announcers not caring about the match piss me off. Plus there's some slow stuff but there's alot of great great moments too. As for the Slater/Muta Vs. Sting/Flair match, I love the match so much and have no problem with the placing. It's not a super great or important match but I'm was a huge fan of 1989 especially the Flair/Funk feud as a kid. Mine only 1 ballot, there's 24 more of them out there, so the results should be very interesting...

************************************************************************* #45. Eddy Guerrero Vs. Dean Malenko Uncensored (3/16/97) Eddy Guerrero defends the U.S. title against former foe Malenko. Eddy's a good guy but shows some hints at his future heel turn. It's Uncensored too so anything goes! Great match that was only messed-up by the 20 minutes of panning to the back showing Rick Steiner unconscious on the floor. ************************************************************************* #44. Ric Flair & Steve Austin Vs. Ricky Steamboat & Sting Saturday Night (7/30/94) Probably overrating this one but it was so much fun back then. The two top babyfaces meet the top heels on free TV. Match went nearly 30 minutes. Maybe the last great match before the Hogan regime took over and Stone Cold left. ************************************************************************* #43. Doom Vs. Arn Anderson & Barry Windham Starrcade (Streetfight - 12/16/90) Storyline started like an average day in the WWE lockerroom. If my memory is right the Horsemen dissed Doom and refused to share a lockerroom with them. Doom's still the champs here, but the title's not on the line, only respect! This started a big feud that culminated in this No-DQ anything goes Streetfight. This was supposed to have Ric Flair but he had other plans that night... ************************************************************************* #42. Ric Flair & Sting Vs. The Great Muta & Dick Slater Clash of the Champions VIII (9/12/89) This was to be the huge main event from the Bash fallout. It was scheduled to be Terry Funk but he suffered an arm injury and Dick Slater took his place. What was a huge disappointment turned into a great tag match with the newly arriving Slater doing his great Funk/Race bumping and Muta being his undefeated badass self. Plus the thought of Sting and Flair teaming had the crowd all hyped. The finish of this match was so shocking that they later had to publicly apologize on the air. ************************************************************************* #41. Goldberg Vs. Diamond Dallas Page Halloween Havoc (10/25/98) Goldberg reign didn't produce many great matches, especially since very few of them lasted over 5 minutes. This was the best though, a match well layed out and executed perfectly. Goldberg was defending the WCW World title against fellow good guy DDP. Even after the Warrior/Hogan II classic, the crowd heat was off the charts for this one and what followed was a short but great title defense. The undefeated Goldberg was still on fire, having a huge fan base and had months and months of future great matches ahead of him against the NWO, so of course he would lose the belt 2 months later to head booker Kevin Nash. I don't respect you booker man. *************************************************************************

More crazy picks! I mean seriously, WTF? ************************************************************************* #50. Ric Flair & Arn Anderson Vs. Brian Pillman & Steve Austin Clash of the Champions XXIII (2/3 Falls - 6/16/93) The Hollywood Blondes have been talking shit about the has-been Horsemen. So much that Flair finally came out of retirement to show these young punks how it's done old school. The match was good not great. But the crowd heat was INSANE. Flair's back! Whooo! ************************************************************************* #49. Ric Flair Vs. Ricky Steamboat Spring Stampede (4/17/94) Five years after their tremendous trilogy, it's Steamboat and Flair for the World title. Maybe not as good as their past encounters but it still has a main event feel and both guys gave it all for 30 min. ************************************************************************* #48. Ric Flair Vs. Brian Pillman Saturday Night (2/17/90) This match came out of nowhere. I thought "Pillman was good, I guess" but nowhere in Flair league. Then suddenly Pillman's bouncing Flair around and is looking like he might take the title. Would HHH sell like this for Evan Bourne? Another super hot crowd hoping for the upset. ************************************************************************* #47. Tully Blanchard Vs. Terry Funk Slamboree (5/22/94) There's absolutely no reason this mid card match should be here, except it has two of my all time favorites brawling throughout the ECW crowd. This was a "Legends" match for Slamboree but these guys acted like youngsters beating the crap out of each other with everything they could find in a short but memorable match. ************************************************************************* #46. Ricky Steamboat Vs. Lex Luger Great American Bash (7/23/89) After getting beat up by Terry Funk, Luger comes to rescue Steamboat. But instead wacks him with a chair and beats the crap out of him. Luger was jealous of Steamboat rise in the Top 10 and as the U.S. champ felt he should be #1. It's set to be a No-DQ match for the U.S. title but Luger is suddenly refusing to wrestle.... Luger best non-Flair match ever? *************************************************************************

I remember in the Billy Graham book he thought about blading in the World Strongest Man competition but decided not too. Think he was going to start pulling a car, stumble and fall, blade, then continue on. I think his retirement helped with all his injuries and his prolonged absence refreshed him to the fans who missed him for so long. Like 1 year = 7 years for a dog life. I think 1 week = 10 weeks for TNA. I bet Styles comes back with a goatee.

Blood Capsule? He's gonna expose the business. :-( Wonder if they'll start blading in other sports? Or like in American Idol or something..
