Happ Hazzard

Killer Bees, Rougeaus and Adonis/Murdoch are the most glaring omissions for me. Demolition should be top 5. Hart Foundation are too high. British Bulldogs too low. There are too many very short-lived tag teams in the list (Rock 'n Sock, Jeri-Show, Batista/Flair, X-Pac Kane, Team Hell No) EDIT: No Brain Busters? That's shocking.

Ron Garvin was a decent enough promo. Probably not as good as Rick Martel though who was phenomenal as the Model and only a few years earlier reportedly could not speak English very well at all. Add Jacques Rougeau to the list as well.

The 90 minute segment on Houston wrestling on the latest Jim Cornette experience is a must-listen.

I can't remember two more exciting games back to back in a major international tournament.

I hope they don't make them come out for about 3 minutes to finish the first half and then go back in again. Just say it was pretty much half time and just play the 2nd half.

I was thinking more like this one:

Some classic bloody magazine covers:

IMO the greatest wrestling photograph of all time: [img[

Schiavone worked a lot better with Ventura and Heenan than JR ever did.

I honestly think Vince and Jesse are the best ever. In particular on SNME. Other great pairings: Gorilla/Jesse Gorilla/Heenan Ross/Lawler Russell/Brown Michael Cole and JBL were very good when they originally were paired on Smackdown, Cole and Tazz were also decent as well. Dutch Mantell was very good in WCW in the early 90s but I forget who he was paired with. I don't like 3 (or 4!) man commentary teams at all.

To answer my own question:

Anybody know when the Sheik biography - "Blood and Fire" is coming out?

Vince was a great announcer back in the 70s and 80s. And even in the 90s he was still better than anyone today. The announcing and overall production is the one thing about WWE that has inarguably regressed the most in the last 20 years. It's utterly, utterly awful and would make the shows very difficult to watch even if the wrestling was good.

This picture jogged my memory of rumours of a proposed Jackie Chan vs Ernest Miller match in WCW, IIRC at Halloween Havoc 98.

I can't see what their argument is. The National League doesn't have relegation because the leagues below that abandoned their seasons fairly early on. League Two and the National League are both playing full seasons so there's no reason not to have teams go up and down. Dover deserve to be relegated from the National League but they'll just get a large points deduction next season instead which will probably doom them to relegation. Also, Fulham are soon to be no longer "All Elite". They're 2-0 down to Burnley at half-time in a game where a loss relegates them.

They used one at WM17 when Undertaker threw HHH off a scaffold. The bump looked great when it happened but then for some reason they showed a replay that showed the crash pad. I'm sure they edited it off the DVD release/network version though.

They should have put the NWA Jr. Heavyweight championship on Mike Jackson.

Nobody does the jerk the top rope/bring the opponent into the ring the hard way move any more.
