Grimmas

Here is my take, and we can discuss this. Footage has to be available for someone to be voted for. So that obviously rules out some people that are brought up as all time greats. Now, if we are voting based on the footage of guys we have seen (not on reputation) then I think that negates a lot about drawing. However, it doesn't completely eliminate it for this reason. Some people feel guys on the undercard aren't putting on great matches, because they aren't in the main event having more time and focus. So, it will have a bearing, whether obvious or not. For example, Hogan will be on a ballot, but not in the top tier.

I'm completely game! Plus, I want to do a bunch of podcasts devoted to this as well.

This concerns me a bit in that this seems like it will invariably exclude some wrestlers deserving of consideration. There is a simple work around which leads to the point of this. If you want to vote for someone that is not eligible, then you go ahead and make the thread and review the matches. If you think someone is overlooked, nominate someone and show why they are over looked. I think this is plus, not a negative. Everyone is eligible, if somebody wants to make the argument.

Dylan and I have been discussing this for a while and I feel it is time to see if there is interest out there. The last time there was a major, greatest wrestling of all time voting process was 2006. I love the Sight & Sound best movie ever model of voting every 10 years, so doing a new poll in 2016 seems like a great idea to me. Here is my thoughts on this and how it should go. This is just a thread to see if there is interest or to see if there are ideas out there to make this whole process better. 1) Ballot due the day of WrestleMania of 2016. 2) You can only vote for eligible wrestlers. A wrestler becomes eligible if there is a microscope thread for him with at least three reviewed matches in it. 3) You vote for 100 wrestlers, no more or less. (Maybe negotiate a 50 or 100 ballot). 4) Weighted voting, so that top picks are valued more. So.. interest? Is this a worth while project?

HOST: Steven Graham Guests: Dave Musgrave (Wrestling Culture) & Jason Mann (Wrestlespective) On this week’s episode we dive deep into the CAREER of Alberto del Rio (Dos Caras Jr.) and focus The Wrestler Snapshot on him. The matches watched include: vs. Mirko Cro Cop (Pride FC, 10/5/2003) vs. Ultimo Guerrero (CMLL, 7/23/2006) vs. Shocker (CMLL, 6/12/2009) vs. Rey Mysterio (WWE SmackDown, 1/7/2011) vs. CM Punk (WWE Survivor Series, 11/20/2011) vs. Christian (WWE SummerSlam, 8/18/2013) All available on youtube or WWE NETWORK.

I adore Regal, but has he EVER had a match as good as Savage/Steamboat? Regal-Arn at SuperBrawl and Regal-Finlay at Uncensored are damn close if not there.

There is a Super Show on that one with Will and Johnny that is in the archives. Should be on the PWO-PTBN Network within a few weeks.

This was a lot of fun. It's not often I get to rave about my love of Goldberg.

So, with the recent switch to the PWO-PTBN podcast network all the original episodes of the PWSS will be uploaded to the new channel. I've fixed up the sound a little bit. Remember to switch to the proper feed now, as the original feed will disappear soon. First two episodes are now up and there will be another Super Show put up daily in September.

About half way through and I am enjoying this. Since the Network came out, I started watching every WWE/WCW major show in order and I have finally caught up to Where the Big Boys Play. I'm not going to go ahead of them, so now I have more time to watch other things. What this show did was motivate me to rewatch 90's AJPW. I haven't seen it in years and not all of the major stuff, so this should be a fun re-evaluation.

For those who missed it, here is the episode: http://placetobenation.com/pro-wrestling-super-show-wrestling-rulebook-august-27-2014-with-charles-kelly/

This is my problem with any worst award in the Observer. Nobody has seen everything, so there is managers out there on the indies that hardly anyone has seen.

I have been waiting for this! If there isn't 30 minutes devoted to the fat man trios match, then I riot.

Click here. One of the most fun episodes we've done on the Super Show. I am joined by Charles and Kelly to dissect the wrestling rule book. We discuss the major rules and what they mean to us. Charles digs up the official Eddie Graham 1983 rule book and we read passages and look at them. Awesome stuff. Check it out.

What are you talking about? This is pro-wrestling and gimmicks.

Hero was drafted, yeah. Titus I would had picked earlier, but I knew nobody watch Superstars to know he was awesome. Same reason Gulak, Busick and Thatcher weren't involved, because I would be the only one who would had seen them. Same with other guys like Kongo Kong, etc... We kept it to WWE/NXT/ROH/TNA. Glad you enjoyed the show. Next Wednesday is going to be an awesome 3 hour discussion of the rule book with Kelly (of Titans) and Loss.

CMLL is the best promotion in Mexico (if not the world). There was a lot of great stuff already this year, especially the tournament. So, I would say those are worth it.

Here you go, Soundcloud link.

Technical difficulties, please stand by.

Click here. Maybe the dorkiest episode of the Super Show ever. The idea is stolen (with permission) from Where the Big Boys Play. On this week’s Pro-Wrestling Super Show, Steven Graham is joined by Ben Morse, Jordan Duncan and Andrew Riche (all of the Main Event podcast) to draft out the current North American wrestling talent. There are some wild cards mixed in to make things interesting. All of the current wrestling talent is discussed. Part 2 will be out in a few weeks, where we using our drafted rosters to fantasy book a super show.

Charles (Loss), Kelly (Titans of Wrestling) and myself will be doing an episode of the Pro-Wrestling Super Show taping Friday to discuss the wrestling rule book. What rules bug you? What rules confuse you? I will look at this thread before the show and touch on anything that may come up. For example, what are your guys thoughts on the over the top DQ rule?

He was certainly good in his few AWA matches I saw, so the good in Montreal thing doesn't seem like a myth. Although his in ring was lacking in the WWE, I did love his character.

Wasn't the plan all along for a rematch with like Taker or somebody in his corner? Why is anyone surprised?
