Chris - it would probably mean a lot of extra work depending on how you ran those, but dynamic five year periods rather than the static set periods may prove valuable. You're going to have a number of guys whose runs don't fit neatly into the already defined five year sets.

I feel really bad about how much Smack2k is overselling the rest of the WCW run to you. He really might be the only person on the planet that believes it. It is still definitely nothing better than ok, it is just not as mind numbingly awful as the previous two years. Watchable is about right.

Speaking of Gary Hart... anybody got a line on borrowing a copy of his book?

Dave Meltzer's Questionable Judgment Numerical Dataset.

That was a great fucking match.

Panthers hate topes were badass

Third fall picked up a lot.

Yeah, I'm not sure how anyone can accuse him of faking that. I'm more amazed that he got through Mania.

and basically everything out of his mouth is an wonderful as that review.

are you Scott Keith? You talk like Scott Keith. Scott Keith.

Mine's gonna be a reply to an email showing him how to set up a mailing list.

Just went through my gmail folders to make sure I didn't have any surprises from Dave hiding somewhere. No luck.

I wouldn't read too much into Eaton leading the vote by so much. Everyone could look at this and say "wow, that's a really tough call" and still have everyone come down on the side of Eaton. I went with Bobby, but just barely. I think the two are pretty close to equals.

Probably Will carrying out some more iPad terrorism.

This new guy is kinda mean.

you a narc? you talk like a narc. narc.

Thinking more about it, it's probably about 15-20 on a given week. Monday through Friday 30-60 minutes in the gym in the morning before work. Usually another 1-2 hours while doing cardio between after work & before bed. Each of those probably gets missed once a week. Plus RAW, NXT, and occasionally FFing through Smackdown & Impact. Weekends, I'm either at shows, or I'm watching something for at least a couple hours. Plus WWE PPVs. Jesus, that's a lot.

I get about 3 hours a day, plus current tv.

I started trying to pull together a list of only A & B market results, but gave up because I couldn't really sort out what the markets were in the 60s. I figured NYC, Philly, Toronto and Boston for A. DC, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, New Haven for B.

No doubt. I was really underwhelmed by Superstar's run once I really started looking at it. Was more a case of throwing popular mid tier babies at him that were never going to go over.

Here is Claw's record book. Hisa adds a bunch of Japanese stuff later. http://sportsandwrestling.mywowbb.com/forum2/14118-1.html I hadn't checked Hisa's site in years. Looks like he's uploaded all kinds of 70s-80s Japanese results. http://www.puroresu.com/results/
