Oh, that's far from the only time I was thoroughly amused by her enlivening a cold-dead-corpse of a situation. When I first saw her at a WCW house show, she was working way harder as a manager than most of the then-indifferent wrestlers were even trying to do in the ring, and I've seen her succeed in various other situations where nobody had any business being any good at all (remember Nise Sarah Palin in TNA?). The empty-room bullshit just came immediately to mind first because it was such a clear example, since I've been there and done that and it's damn near impossible for that stuff to ever be anything but an embarrassing clusterfuck. A great character, ok. Is she a better wrestler than Ricky Steamboat? Little Guido? Earthquake? Triple H? Taz? Where does she rank as a worker? What are her strengths as a wrestler? We are talking about the 100 best wrestlers of all-time, make a case for her. None of what you are saying is anything more than enjoying a manager/wrestler who made the most out of shit. Is Prince Nana on your list? She...she is literally not nominated so I'm not sure why you are pressuring anyone into a discussion. Ok. Jingus, review three of her matches and nominate her.

Warrior had a **** 3/4 star match in his career. At least one more **** 1/2 and some **** ones as well.
-
I can't bring myself to watch the TV, because when I tried the booking was shit. The pvs have some good matches, but the booking is awful. Nobody is that over. The WWE is not holding any interest for me right now, but where does it rank in the history of the WWE/F? Clearly 1999 was worse, but there has to be worse periods as well.

If he entertained you that much and it wasn't by you laughing at how bad he was, then yes. That's a high bar to become one of the 100 greatest wrestlers ever. One entertaining performance in a shitty situation should not be even close to enough.

She entertained you in a shitty situation. Heck Al Snow entertained me in the Kennel from Hell match, should I vote for him?

Top 100 wrestlers in the history of the world?

Not my argument. However saying that Vader is working harder is silly.
-
I don't think it's an issue of working hard or not working hard enough. I think it's an issue of having better matches. Why did Vader have better matches than Earthquake? Because he was a more compelling character with more aura, more athletic ability and more options for constructing a match because of said athletic ability and aura. Earthquake was able to have perfectly acceptable matches based on ideas of how big men work that existed long before he came along. Vader, to an extent, rewrote the rules. "Big guys shouldn't play pinball because they'll be neutered" might be conventional wisdom, but Vader played pinball without being neutered because he's Vader. There's nothing wrong with John Tenta. It's just that Vader is an exceptional talent. It's not even really fair to point to Vader as how big men should work because he's the exception to so many rules that other guys with less gifts trying to do it wouldn't be able to pull it off. Vader could because he was a very special performer. Well said.
-
This myth that Vader worked harder than Earthquake, because he had better matches is baffling. How much harder could Earthquake have worked? He did everything he was supposed to do perfectly and very effective.

I hate the idea of taking the title off Reigns so early into his reign, a second time.

My minis thread. Plus Reyes de Air from last year on wko.
-
One of the best current minis in Meixco. Always is a stand out when the minis appear, but this is more of a pick of someone I want to explore more. Any suggestions and thoughts would be helpful.
-
Vince had some great moments, even up to the CM Punk match. However he was such a great character and worked so infrequently it really helped him. No way he makes this list.
-
No way! Mascarita Dorada makes my list. Mascarita Sagrada will as well. Espectrito is a definite possibility. Little Tokyo is someone I have to watch more, but there is a twinkle of hope for the number 100 spot.

My review of "Wrestling's Bloopers, Bleeps and Bodyslams". A very hard review to write, because there was no matches just cut up skits. Here you go though. https://prowrestlingsuperblog.wordpress.com/2016/01/19/wf001/

I need to go back on here and prove myself. I could had took this game. -
The Eddie feud with Rey Jr. was great too. The heel turn was a great great angle.
-
JESUS STRAIGHT EDGE SOCIETY PUNK was all time great stuff.
