Chavo's jumping kick to the back of the head was awesome. Some great arm drags in that match too. It was basic (and had that Guerrero stuttering heat thing) but I liked it.*

Jingus is correct.
-
I am satisfied.

Liger vs Jericho seems a not bad choice to celebrate Jericho's 25th year in wrestling. I kind of dread what condition Malenko's in but that might have been a fun one too. Maybe a tag.

No match yesterday, which is okay. It happens sometimes. Tharpe and co. are busy. It's funny that he said on twitter, in response to someone "Everyday!" on when new matches would go up on the first day in a while that they didn't post one, but it happens. But then, today is Terry Taylor vs Tom Lintz. Like a kick to the gut.

The crowd sure didn't like him. He was even getting booed in Canada by the end.

Your one major nostalgic blind spot.

Orton is a guy who is beloved by retired workers, no? -

Is Orton more of a draw than Batista? -
I won't ever defend Demolition vs Powers of Pain, but I will defend the Twin Towers series and the Brainbusters series and I love the MSG Colossal Connection match.

Probably the Young Bucks -
I think the difference is that a lot of the male wrestlers don't have quite as much riding against them that they have to overcome. (It's not a privilege argument so much as it's a hey, "Vince is nuts and was molested by a female relative as a kid" argument)

Then this whole thing is doomed, because she's not going to be given the chance to anytime soon.

My guess is that the answer here is no, but it doesn't necessarily mean Sasha's going to have a great match on Raw next Monday on the fly either.
-
The upside to WWE now is more years down the line when you can become a legend, etc.
-
Carmella can't exist in a world with Sasha in it.
-
I don't think the match needed it. That much I'll say. There were smarter and even more story-driven ways to raise the stakes. But that's not necessarily what's being argued here.

I have no idea if I've ever seen that Cam Am vs Dream Team match. I need to find time for that. I watched an 84 Robinson vs Martel match earlier (from 84, so I don't think it's the few 83 ones I've seen) and didn't love that, so I'm up for a Martel match I'll really like.

This is pretty much the sections of Gary Hart's book about the dirtiness of Texas Wrestling come to life.

The Van Buyten, Ali Bey, Andre trio is a blast.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x13dqxm_andre-buyten-bey-vs-kimura-teranishi-sugiyama-iwe-05-02-72_sport I was wrong. It was 72. I didn't realize it was on Dailymotion until just now.
-
I saw him in a match from 74 in which I thought he was great, so I'm going to watch all I can now.

Taylor vs Volkoff is very cool for the crowd. It has a good start and a good end and a sort of frustrating middle with endless chinlocking. I wrote this back in 2011 (which is forever ago) about Taylor at right about that time from watching Mid South TV. http://russianflagburial.blogspot.com/2011/06/terry-taylot-mid-souths-wyatt-earp.html Don't judge me too harshly on it.

As of now Arn is in my top ten, though Dylan tried to convince me to trade him for Regal.

You're going to have to bite the bullet and do the chronological Buddy Rose deep dive at some point. Wait, you're really that high on Cena? I get the impression you practically hate Cena from your write ups.
