    If you're good enough to be a nominee, you're good enough to have a comprehensive bio. There's something to that.

    Neville recovering from the giant super 4 man bomb so quickly bugged the hell out of me. That was my big takeaway from the main.
  3. Matt D
    Yeah, she's been great as a cocky heel lately. Very believable with her facial expressions and crowd interaction even if not everything else is there yet. Ah well.

    I feel like someone recently made a metaphor about seeing a high school play and clapping because they were enthusiastic and you were supposed to. That's what tonight sort of feels like.

    I don't get this crowd. You look out at the people facing hard camera, and it looks like there's only one guy enjoying himself at all.

    The tag match had a ton of energy and a hot tag that i kind of liked but there was some stuff that was so ridiculously blown or contrived or something. Just gawkworthy stuff. That's the most I've seen the crowd into Kallisto though.

    The Rules

    Matt D replied to Grimmas's topic in 2016

    I vote for 50 since it's easier and because it'd drive Dylan nuts to have to leave 50 guys off.

    Misawa was so dynamic and explosively genuine I might have to sneak him on. Taue wrestled like a complete asshole though. Just full of character. That appealed to me more than the other three. I came out of watching their big tags liking Taue way more than the rest.

    Thanks for posting the Torch Talk snippet.

    That's fair, but there are different aesthetic elements and then there are completely non-aesthetic elements. I think you can categorize the first and find some sort of common ground, while I think the second is arguing about something completely different. "This match had great matwork!" "But it didn't draw money!" is a different argument than "This match had great matwork!" "But it didn't go anywhere!"

    i think the main reason for some level of criteria is that it's annoying for the sake of arguments/conversations if person #1 goes "Well, this match is obviously better than this match because of X." and person number #2 goes "This match is obviously better than this match because of Y," where person 1 ignores Y completely and person 2 ignores X completely. That's just not compelling to me. You have people talking about completely different things. There's no common ground for discussion in that case so what's the point of this as a social activity past making a list.

    I'm excited for the GOAT project mainly because it means I get to put Taue on and leave the other three off.
  13. Matt D
    It's the fault of the trap door.

    I was in Boston the next week for Nitro right before my 17th birthday. That was fun, but it was also Boston. Not quite the same.
  15. Matt D
    This isn't really my sort of thing, BUT after listening to you guys talk, were I to offer a suggestion I'd say go for two lists, just like Loss has defined when it comes to the GOAT stuff. The WON style for the drawing/important/influencial, etc and then the PWO GOAT sort for the greatest aesthetically.

    CM Punk winning in Chicago? Bryan doing the Yes! Chants on the top of the cage.

    I want to see this, actually. I'm going to go out of my way and watch this soon.

    Can I have some timeline help? I always thought that Ross got canned due to his initial flare up in 94, but Wiki said his contract lapsed and wasn't renewed two weeks the flare up. I can't find anything in the WON at this time, except for at the very end of February where Dave mentioned that Ross would be replaced by Monsoon and Stan Lane on Challenge due to the Palsy, with nothing about his contractual situation. Then, in March, Dave said that the contract wouldn't be renewed at the end of March. Which is accurate? Was he not renewed before the flare up happened or was he not renewed only after it happened? He was hired back during the steroid trial for two months only because that's how long they figured Vince would be busy for it. Can someone clarify this?

    Martin, Kelly, and I are on a fairly similar wavelength (if I can be bold enough to say, though no one's quite as crazy as me), so if Charles is going to aim things in my direction, we'd be okay with that. For everyone else, it might just serve as a good jumping off point.

    Austin leaving in 02 is frustrating. I hadn't looked at those results for a long time, but he was basically set up to be in a bunch of matches with Eddy and Benoit, with Arn liberally interfering during a few matches with Flair here too. Once he left the Benoit/Flair/Eddie/Arn situation never came to be as they hotshotted Flair into babyfacehood.
  21. Matt D
    My only stopping point is that I don't feel confident starting til January or at least December, but if you two are okay with that, I'm more than happy to work through it with you guys. We're not always on the same page but we do speak the same language, I think. Charles can be our guide.
  22. Matt D
    I don't think we quite got to that level. Not for lack of trying though!

    Current WWE

    Matt D replied to Smack2k's topic in WWE

    I almost ended up going tonight. It would have been my first show since 03 or 04, but it wasn't in the cards. Let's see if I regret not going.
  24. Matt D
    You're right, of course, but I find the juxtaposition between your name and your statement funny.
  25. Matt D
    I'm a huge fan of Bonema, but I sort of agree with Dave that he really would have only worked in Portland. There was such a cozy, familiar, local feel to Portland between the sponsors who you knew as well as the wrestlers and Sandy Barr's flea market.
