or at least, not the right kind of tickets.

Got it , I seem to recall there was some discussion about shortening the time when it wasn't overnight but it looks like the status quo remained unchanged.

I'm having trouble finding the post where this was set : what is the final word on how long the draft clock is and what is the result if somebody doesn't post their pick in time?

Heartbreaking. (Hartbreaking?)

peachchaos is happy, CFCW is happy, I'm happy. Stampede gets a burgeoning superstar on 5 dates to pop some houses and national exposure for one of their top guys. AWA gets 2 picks and a hometown hero to come back for a couple of big shows. Seems win-win (win) to me.

Doffing the hat with the chicken foot headband in honor of one of the true greats.

He means Central States.

Seriously? Jack "On The Take" Tunney?

I agree that it is a bit morbid to keep using people after the point where they have passed but would be more lenient with retirement. Major injuries like Magnum TA are a different consideration, though.

Barring negotiations that might have taken place on the board that I didn't see, I don't think Southwestern is a part of it.

Can we get a definitive list of who is in the NWA and who isn't?

FRICK!

Butch Reed is such a sweet choice.

Fair enough, top 5 worst.

You are up, JerryVonKramer.

Is Phil Hickerson a celebrity? Outside my house, I mean.

Just remember that , in the AWA, titles can change hands on Certain Types Of Count Outs.

Yes! We are off! (For all that I am not as yet participating, I am looking forward to reading all of this).

Thanks, El Boricua, please consider that as me putting my name up for the waiting list.

Frick, just too late Serves me right for going to sleep on this.

Top 10 Worst "Russian" Wrestlers

I also don't care for Bryan Adams and never played hockey (weak ankles). They haven't kicked me out yet. Poutine is awesome, though.

I can't believe i did this, as a long time Bret Hart fan, in fact he will always have a place in my heart for him as one of my all time favorite wrestlers, but I tried to put it on as hard, objective standards as I can. I mentally compiled an imaginary compilation of all of the best Bret Hart matches I could think of. I then mentally put it on the scale against the Curt Hennig compilation I already have . That's they way I wanted to view it, the best of one against the best of the other. I went Hennig.

I have very fond memories of Summerslam 1991. Not quite the intended direction of the question, but I also love the less heralded matches of Super Brawl 2. Rhodes/Windham vs Zbyszko/Austin and Pillman vs Liger deservedly get a lot of praise, but I also love the other matches like Morton/Vinnie Vegas vs Zenk/Van Hammer (the Superbrawl Miracle Match), Simmons vs Cactus Jack, and even Bagwell vs Taylor.

And on Smackdown too, wasn't it? Yeah, this was mind boggling, I mean Taker has always had a history of being willing to put new guys over (Yokozuna in 1993, Mankind in 1996, Angle in 2000, Lesnar in 2002, hell, even Khali in 2006 - which was comparable to Brock squashing Cena at Summerslam this year) on big stages, but this was a random throwaway episode of Smackdown. What's more weird is how the finish came across. Kozlov countered the Old School into a Powerslam and pinned Taker. It came across like Taker simply fucked up, rather than Kozlov actually defeating him. An upset nonetheless, as nobody expected Kozlov to go over. It was a kind of strange path to the Shawn Michaels/Undertaker Mania match. Kozlov beats Undertaker, then a short time later, Michaels beats Kozlov, so there is a bit of buzz going in of "Michaels defeated the guy that Undertaker couldn't beat." Then a few weeks later, Undertaker beat Kozlov so the whole thing was meaningless.
