Guest Famous Mortimer Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I don't know if I've seen these listed yet: Bret vs. Flair (Ironman, Boston) I sat, bored out of my mind, through this one recently. Well, I started fast-forwarding and stuff. But if other people love it, that's fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loss Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 *bump* This seems to be coming together quite well, but I think we still more of the following: * ECW & indy nominations * WCW TV nominations * WWF TV nominations * Coliseum Video nominations * Handheld nominations At this point, it looks like we have 80% of the PPV must-haves, but I'll get all those, so for now, worry more about the less obvious choices. USWA and SMW nominations would also be GREATLY appreciated, moreso USWA than SMW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 With ECW... were there any truly great ECW matches worthy of being in this type of survey? I think the myth of the great PItbulls-Raven/Richards match has already been debunked and nothing else that wne tdown in that organization was really Match of the year worthy. With WCW and WWF TV ... slowly but surely. With Coliseum Video... I would lean on teke and Bruiser to come up with some stuff here. I can look through match lists and list potential matchups but not anything I have seen and loved with the exception of the Harts-Steiners match which I need to revisit anyway. With handhelds... there is a post at TOA that reviewed a big chunk of handhelds. That might be a starting point but I think the problem we are going to encoutner here is that this forum isn't very big and we probably don't have a big enough population to pick up a huge chunk of handhelds. Brian and I have a huge chunk of SMW but who has time to watch them and then decide what is a MOTY? Again, we are at the mercy of someone who knows something about that promotion. With USWA, you can ask people to recommend matches from there but I have never even seen a USWA show from the 90s and I have seen alot of wrestling. Is there anything really noteworthy from that promotion that no one anywhere has ever recommended some must see matches and we just missed it?

Loss Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 We've learned that people don't always recommend all the good stuff because they thought AJPW and NJPW were the only promotions in existence for the 90s. USWA had Lawler, Dundee, Gilbert and Jarrett around (Jarrett in Memphis >>> Jarrett anywhere else), so I'm expecting some really great matches to be hidden in there.

goodhelmet Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 My point was the reason no one has recommended them is because no one here, in our small community, actually has them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 My thing is I don't want to do a category and realize afterward that we're missing qualified matches from that category. With that in mind, should we postpone this 6-12 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHawk Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Adding one I don't remember seeing. It probably won't rate too high in the actual voting: Rick & Scott Steiner vs. Money Inc. -- cage match; 8/16/1993 (aired 8/22 on the SummerSlam Spectacular) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resident Evil Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Then we will. I want to do this right the first time, and we're in no hurry. Do you think we should invite hardcore knowledgable people for the sole purpose of nominating? Just in case we miss something? Rob Edwards for example would be of great help for the Joshi puroresu section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Well, we have wolverine for that, and he is definitely knowledgeable. He's made quite a few noms and I imagine he'll make many more. But yeah, Rob is invited to come post and nominate. Anyone is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
