Take a look when you get a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 This is a solid effort so far. You're being very honest with yourself which can be difficult and gives you a good foundation for 2026. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkookypunk43 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thank you, I really appreciate it. That's what I'm trying to do here and it's cool that it's garnering some respect. I'm challenging myself to view things in a different way or with a different lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 I know trying to convert anyone to the cause is always an uphill battle, but I wouldn't write off Bruno so definitively without giving his matches and feuds a chance. At least try to find the feud with Larry Z and some of his biggest MSG matches vs Graham, Patera, Arion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkookypunk43 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Alright I will, I'm open to anything. I've gotta see the MSG stuff for myself. I think it maybe my age. I was 19 when I made this list and 24 now so I'm going to be as open as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'd second the point about Bruno. He isn't going to wow anyone with "workrate" as the term is often throne around today, but he is slept on and far too quickly dismissed. This isn't an apples to apples comparison, but I sort of think of him like Baba. I think Baba is much better on the whole, personally, but you have to appreciate both for what they are and how they use their physical skill-sets. It took a while for both to click with me, but once each did I find a lot of enjoyment in how they hone their craft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrike02 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 My observation would be that Bruno accomplishes a whole lot with a simple, rugged style. Less is more. And he had a special charisma with an all-time great feud with Larry Z which featured amazing, amazing promos as an integral part of that feud. And his matches have tremendous crowd atmosphere and heat. Bruno will easily make my top 100 list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkookypunk43 Posted April 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I would like to thank my co-host Cap and Shrike for opening my eyes a little bit to what Bruno is. I just got to see more footage I'm just doing these evaluations as a litmus test. I got to get back to doing these. Thanks for the feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrike02 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 It's always nice to see someone have an open mind and a willingness to explore footage. I hope you enjoy what you find. I'd also suggest this compilation of the Bruno vs. Larry feud in podcast commentary form: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
