We'll see how high Waltman and Tajiri get on my list too. Personal favourites are going to be fun to watch to see where they get placed.

I hope he drops off completely.

Besides missing Hansen, this list is pretty good. I'd also ask about Hero being so above Punk.

I've been working on a poster that isn't coming out right to promote the Maple Leaf Gardens show on August 30th. Until I can get it nice, here is what is booked for that show. Main Event for the NWA Canadian Title Champion Rick Martel vs Mr. Saito with Jesse Ventura NWA Canadian Tag Team Titles Match in a Steel Cage Champions Ivan Koloff and Super Russian with Don Carson vs Wahoo McDaniel and Buzz Tyler with Alexis Smirnoff Toronto Street Fight Rocky Johnson and "Big" Stephen Petipas vs Cuban Assassin and Chicky Starr with "No Class" Bobby Bass NWA Midget Title Champion Little Tokyo vs Tiger Jackson WWF Intercontinental Title Match Champion Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat vs Greg "The Hammer" Valentine Plus Andre the Giant and much much more!

I think a better idea would be to tape try outs at the performance center and make some kind of documentary style show instead of some reality style show. I would at least watch that.

NXT is taping at least one episode of TV post Special, so shouldn't be a problem.

I have been plowing through 2015 EVOLVE and every show seems to have at least one 4 star affair or more. The style they produce is this great catch style involving Gulak, Busick and Thatcher that is out of this world great. Last weekend I watched EVOLVE 47 live and it had a top 5 mach of the year for me so far between Thatcher and Sabre Jt as well as another great match between Chris Hero and Mike Bailey. I know they don't run as many shows as other companies, but the ones they do are outstanding. What does everybody else think of EVOLVE? How does it rank with the other indies?

They also need to fix their TV taping schedule. We should not be seeing TV taped before a ppv, two weeks after the ppv is over.

HIMYM reference makes me happy.

I really feel like it's some kind of test in Vince McMahon's mind. Triple H will not be deemed ready to take over the WWE until he can prove that he can run other promotions out of business like he did. NXT is using a lot of the same tactics the WWF did to go national.

Maple Leaf Wrestling August 17, 1983 at Yardmen Arena in Belleville, Ontario 1. Ben Bassarab pinned Masa Fuchi with a small package @ 9:28 2. Cuban Assassin, Chicky Starr & Bobby Bass def.

"Outlaw" Joel Deaton pinned Tony Gara @ 4:41 after knocking him out with the big boot! 4.

Mr. Saito w/ Jesse Ventura pinned Dick Murdoch after interference by Ventura @ 19:02 8. Greg "The Hammer" Valentine w/ Don Carson def. NWA Canadian Champion Rick Martel via DQ after Wahoo McDaniel interfered @ 22:48. After the match Koloff and Super Russian came out to join on the attack Wahoo. Smirnoff and Tyler came out and chased off the Russians. Martel, Wahoo, Smirnoff and Tyler celebrated to end the show.

I have only watched ROH TV for the last few months, but I think there build to matches has been pretty lackluster. Nothing comes close to the Bayley vs Sasha build.

Damn... I would love to release some stuff.. I might need a second TV show that airs Halfax, Maple Leaf Gardens and Ottawa house show footage.

Colon bleeding, damn does this feel like a WWC show. I can't wait for Colon to get his revenge on Slater and get his shot at Race.

Cards NXT Balor vs Owens (Ladder Match) Liger vs Breeze Blake & Murphy vs Vaudeviliians Sasha vs Bayley Baron Corbin vs Samoa Joe ROH Briscoe Brothers vs Time Splitters Lethal & Nakamura vs redragon Okada vs Strong Killer Elite Squad vs War Machine Goto vs Elgin Adam Cole vs Christopher Daniels Young Bucks & Sydal & ACH vs Kingdom & RPG Vice Gauntlet Match for TV Title Shot: Moose, Kazarian, Dijak, Cedric, Page, Castle & Silas

When did home video releases start up?

NXT is a better product as it builds up matches more and reigns in a lot of the indy bullshit that ROH lets run wild.

With Houston picked, I pass.

Everyone makes some good points. Maple Leaf Wrestling will keep pushing the boundaries of pro wrestling. Sometimes it will work and sometimes it will fail. Stay tuned.

Kris would like feeback on the latest Maple Leaf Wrestling show in the MLW Results thread. I would be curious too... it's a bizarre match. Was it overkill?

NWA Canadian Champion Rick Martel vs ???? if we can get Ric Flair, that would be ideal. If not I can send in Ivan Koloff.

So, we blame Verne.

Yes, it's being fixed. For some reason download is not a default option and sometimes it is missed.

I'm still shocked by the winner.

Thanks man. It's a nice read. Hogan and Road Warriors are being dealt with very well! I figure what people are reading here are reviews that appear on websites. Most sites don't do word for word promos, just what they talk about. That and I am lazy.
