Heartbroken that Johnny has the Cota/Rocca match last for the party. Delighted he has Satanico/Atlatis #1 though.

I said on the show that every match was great, and I could have thrown all of them into a hat and chosen the rankings.

This time round, I'm going to leave podcast specific comments here and match reviews in the threads.

 

1. Johnny - do you see an argument for Dave Brown over Gene Okerlund?

 

2. Ole Anderson .. lmao

 

3. I saw this Robin Williams stand-up show once where he was sarcastic and even quite biting that I thought was pretty good.

 

4. All the different guys you said Cota looks like, he reminds me a little bit of The Master from Dr Who. Original Roger Delgado version:

 

 

5. Totally agree with Will that El Egipico and El Faraon could have mixed it up with any of the classic 80s babyface teams.

 

6. I swear I called Harley Race before you guys, check my notes.

 

7. Johnny, I should note that I'm not exactly a structure guy or a logic guy (though I do take those things into consideration). I'm a character guy before anything else. But that first 6-man on the set was totally chaotic to the point where I literally had no idea what was going on. I just couldn't follow it on the most basic level. This 6-man is one of my favourite ever 6-man matches though.

I also mentioned that Cota looks like the Master, but only post hair match. I don't think you've seen his giant afro yet. That was his normal look between hair matches.

Yeah just read through your comments now OJ and everyone else's. Glad to see that I'm not alone in my general marking out for Cota, never heard much about him before watching this stuff, but man is he awesome. Your Richard III stuff raised a smile from me too.

We were making those comments in the nomination process. You lose.
