I looooooved El Hijo Del Santo vs Negro Casas from 97. Very excited to see this thinking of it as build up. THANK YOU

Honestly, this Danielson AEW run has been my favorite in wrestling tv that I have luckily been around to experience. I truly feel lucky and will likely download all the matches to have on a hard drive and years later happily watch again. The Continental Classic came right when I was at my most negative towards AEW. That bought them a lot of time with me lol Eddie is a character I love dearly. His story in the classic was a true joy. Kingston made what I thought was an unneeded title into something I actually care about. I hope we get a cathartic Mic Foley winning the big one moment with him, but I could sadly see that never happening and the company pointing to this. At least we had this! The CMLL vs BCC was neat. It sadly turned into CMLL vs Jericho (like how Kingston vs BCC turned into a fucking Jericho feud) until the visa issues. Still fun though. BLUE PANTHER. I finally saw that. Super cool and I could tell Danielson was very happy. derp

I think my enjoyment of lists, be it very outwardly performative a majority of the time, is more a fun lighthearted exercise in evaluating individual taste and preferred aesthetic. Non-defined in-stone dynamically changing entities that have an individual look at what they personally value and forcing yourself to uncomfortably rank what it is you find either important or preferred. All in good fun! Especially being “favorite” could literally include nostalgia and subjective preference. The goal is to look inward and I really appreciate you taking the time to share with me that. That’s so cool! The Hair vs Hair match you listed is among my favorites. Such passion and I really felt the entire experience. How unfair bullying is! What’s crazy is I tried watching that match and I didn’t know I was watching one that happened months earlier. Turned out it was the wrong match! I was so confused why no one got their hair cut! But then I watched the actual match and it was insane. One thing I noticed was that Chigusa was going for moves that were successful a month early. Seeing everything being countered and not working was heartbreaking. Especially the shitty ref added so much to the drama. What a great match! So painful. Link me to the Cibernetico, please.

Waaaaah?

Samoa Joe is pretty sweet. I wonder what he’s up to.

Seeing @Dolfan in NYC reminds me of when my brothers were fighting and I see my dad appear.

John, what are your three favorite matches of all time and why do you think they’re done?

Guys, it’s a New HHH Era though. Steph told us. All allegations and lawsuits should be dropped.

Amongst all the craziness, let me just take a moment to say Matt is a class act. Very kind person and knowledgeable wrestling fan that has well formed opinions.

I mean, a lot of weird stuff with WWE and allegedly executives that knew what was going on to some extent. I think it’s awkward but in terms of a jabI like the move. I used Paterno as an example before.

I am pro-nice dudes.

Dear British Wrestling fans, I’m looking for recommendations on great matches and recommended wrestlers to check out. New and old, I’m excited to learn more. Thank you kindly, Octopus.

I think the Jinder thought is less on ethnicity and more on him and TK having a twitter moment a few months ago. I could very well be wrong and missing the actual discourse. saying that, I don’t want him in AEW. Unless he can do bangers, I’m assuming he’s not needed. I saw on twitter wools talking about him being a good guy, so I hope he can make a lot of money outside of the WWE.

Oh great muscular maple syrup Ronin Gordi! Protector of lands stretching from Kamloops, British Columbia to Nara, Nara. Selfie flexing, macha beer drinking, lover of the great Sport of Kings. YOU HAVE BEEN INVOKED. Is there a new modern wrestling company that has fulfilled your needs of professional wrestling? Any fun AEW matches recently stand out? Any fun non-AEW matches recently stand out? With this invocation, do I get three wishes?

I googled that and got a bunch of bikini pics.
