To play devil's advocate and potentially reference a monkey's paw, this is "Positive Impact?" Purely asking.

Drawing is quantifiable at least to some degree. I think that's why.

For people curious about seeing Steamboat vs Fuller and Steamboat vs Borne from 90 but don't have a yearbook, this went up a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R1sunBbiA4

If it makes everything more of a success in the end I'm OK with some waiting. That said, I certainly would not be against you sharing one of those teaser lists next time you hear back from the converters.

I'm all for young GOTNW backpacking through Mongolia and keeping a blog of the wrestling he sees.

It wasn't at all how I thought he'd work Atlas. Really interesting match. Just another piece of the puzzle. I'll do a full write up when I can. In the meantime, keep the matches coming, guys!

I'm not saying that Perkins doesn't have a good story, but they certainly didn't do nearly as good a job presenting it, executing it, and capitalizing on it as they did other people in the tournament. I'm not sure if that's because he wasn't originally the guy they thought they'd be going with or what.

The only stuff I ever skip for time reasons is MMA, and then it depends on what's going on. If it's Joe Son or something, I'll listen. Some of the Japanese stuff isn't my strong suit but that just means I learn the most.

One thing that Metalik's career has prepared him for is late match, full-body selling.

Not mobile devices though.

Also, there's a business need for the Cruiserweight Division. It wouldn't exist without the brand split and the need to fill the first hour of Nitro with these guys. Neither here nor there but the SD tag division seems more stacked to me. As natural as it is for Revival to end up on SD, I am thinking more and more that they go to Raw because New Day will need heel opponents.

So you're not logged in with the same account in two places at once.

I liked when he tried to reference Liger about the shooting star press and Bryan just shouted over him "LOOK AT THAT KICK!" or whatever.

That was a spectacle. And it was a lot of what Sabre specifically WASN'T bringing to the table in the first two rounds.

"Distinct detail-oriented, consequence-driven narratives." It's like we're making a resume here.

That one I have seen. It's the Steamboat matches that I'd get punched in the face by a low ranked UFC prelim fighter to see.

Do we know what else is unreleased from that collection? (Full disclosure: I want to see Bockwinkel in Greensboro from 79)

Del Rio losing his post-Rumble shot was pretty bad.

Mascaras has looked pretty good in Houston. I think the big problem is that 80s AJPW tag matches suck.

He mentioned her at least!

When asked about Meltzer as a tape trader, McAdam (on 6:05) said that he didn't care about nostalgia or historical significance, just in seeing the four and five star matches.

I was going to say that it was a finish that works better when more than half the crowd doesn't want the guy doing it to win, but the exception is if that guy is Eddy Guerrero or Negro Casas. AJ isn't though. They've booked Ambrose pretty well as champ so it was remarkable how thoroughly he was getting booed when he had an advantage at the end. This is Richmond too.

Is this over the corner of the ropes camera angle new or have I just not been paying attention?
