Exposer Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 He was the most over guy there. Ryback was the closest to him. It's all the kids. They just come in droves to these shows.
Tim Evans Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 I saw Cesaro vs Big E Thursday at NXT and it was pretty amazing till the shitty finish. Cesaro deadl ifting Big E was a awesome visual. Cesaro might be the best guy in WWE today.
Death From Above Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 Now we need a HHH vs Bret thread where people can imagine up all these great Bret matches that make him better than Flair again, and measure them against matches HHH imagines are great, then we can break it down into which imaginarium is better.
Slasher Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 Cesaro's awesomeness makes me even more amazed how long it took WWE to finally get him on board, even with the visa issues.
goc Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 Anyone know anything about this book: www.whenwrestlingwasrasslin.com by Peter Birkholtz? He was Paul Boesch's nephew and around all the shows in Houston for years, I had no idea he wrote a book.
pantherwagner Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 http://purolove.com/ has the best calendar... Awesome - thanks. Been to Japan six or seven times but never been to a show, I may try to catch one somewhere in the north in a month or two.

Â You should get in touch with Peter and buy the tape library.
rovert Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 Todd Martin gave the book a really bad review. Very little insight and a lot of obvious padding (bland, insight free Wrestler bios and lists for the sake of lists.)
goodhelmet Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 If you don't respect Martin's opinions on other wrestling topics, why would I trust his book reviews? Having said that, I guess he isn't Babinsack.
jpchicago23 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 Anyone know what wrestling documentaries are currently on netflix? I found card subject to change and backyard I think but didn't know if there were others. The WWE ones are a little easier to find
Bix Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 His book reviews are generally pretty decent. He nailed the flaws of the Jerry Jarrett book (land deals!) with some entertaining venom.
Blehschmidt Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 So apparently WWE is going to put out a Mid-South DVD set in September, best of War Games in June, and Best of MSG in August.
JerryvonKramer Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 On the subject of books, does anyone know a book or podcast or shoot interview that is particularly good on the art of booking or on the ins and outs of booking? Â Booker is one of those jobs I can scarcely believe exists, so I find it fascinating.
BrickHithouse Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 On the subject of books, does anyone know a book or podcast or shoot interview that is particularly good on the art of booking or on the ins and outs of booking? Â Booker is one of those jobs I can scarcely believe exists, so I find it fascinating. Bill Watts' book is pretty solid on booking philosophy, and the Kayfabe Commentaries re-book series (or whatever they're called) are hit-and-miss.

Â Booker is one of those jobs I can scarcely believe exists, so I find it fascinating. Gary Hart's book hits on it a bit, and so does JJ Dillons.
Matt D Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 Shoot-wise, I'd lean towards the Kevin Sullivan ones. There's some interesting stuff there. Â In general the Rene Goulet one is interesting because it's about being a road agent, but it's not as interesting as one might hope.
Guest Nell Santucci Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 According to the Wrestling Observer news on Sunday, Feb. 3, 2013, Bret Hart claims he wouldn't rate HHH as a top 1,000 wrestler of all time. That's stretching it.
Dylan Waco Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 According to the Wrestling Observer news on Sunday, Feb. 3, 2013, Bret Hart claims he wouldn't rate HHH as a top 1,000 wrestler of all time. That's stretching it. I'm not sure he would make my top 1000.
Matt D Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 Well, Â Now we have to call you on that, you know. Â I think everyone here could post as one to do so.
jpchicago23 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 He definitely doesn't make my 100 but 1000 would be stretching it. I could name wrestlers for namings sake but I couldn't say 1000 guys are better
Chess Knight Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 I actually like HHH, but I could named probably 300 at this point I think are better. Fast forward until twothousandandnever when I've seen as much wrestling as Dylan Waco......I think I could see 1,000 guys/gals being better. Would make for an interesting topic (AKA gigantic list with no other words).
BrickHithouse Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 I'd put Ivan Putski and Brutus Beefcake below him and Fred Ottman and Honky Tonk Man ahead of HHH, in the 750-800 range.
Guest Nell Santucci Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 I'd put Ivan Putski and Brutus Beefcake below him and Fred Ottman and Honky Tonk Man ahead of HHH, in the 750-800 range. I hope you're joking.
goodhelmet Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 I don't know about his work as Honky Tonk Man but I have enjoyed plenty of Blonde Bomber era Ferris.
