  1. The Buff interview was great.  Buff comes across as really likeable, and you kind of understand why, given his start, why he was mercilessly ribbed.

     

    He also points out he was always considered much older than he really is, which when you put in perspective explains a hell of a lot.  He was the same age as most of the Natural Born Thrillers which blows my mind.

     

    Also his wife and mom having the same name is superb.

  2. Did Backlund do much at all between his WWF runs?

     

    Wikipedia suggests he was involved with the NWA/AWA and Herb Adams UWF? Did he wrestle much anywhere else? Japan?

     

    I think Wikipedia really needs to be edited to say "Bob Backlund stepped into a stasis capsule at some point in 1984 and did not escape the capsule until 1992 to make his return to the WWF"

     

  3. Voted Brock. Tough choice, but I'll try and explain.

     

    Not sure if its a valid viewpoint, but here goes, Brock looked like he was having fun (or as much fun as the Beast Incarnate could have) during each and every one of his appearances.  Whether it was bumping like a lunatic for Big Show, throwing things at the Miz, trashing Triple H's office, annihilating the Big Show, getting a pen stuck in his hand by the Undertaker he looked happy to be doing it.

     

    Punk looked miserable at least from Summerslam onwards culminating in the Rumble.  Punk definitely had a greater volume of work in terms of matches.  Even while 'miserable' he was still having good matches but the lack of motivation was a turn off for me.

     

    Those things are infectious and, certainly for me, it affects the performance in the ring.  Brock done the, albeit limited, things he done this year with motivation and enthusiasm, Punk didn't.

  4. Yeah Rush was one of the big reasons I watched a lot of CMLL this year, he has a weird charisma about him that I like and everything he does looks fairly crisp.  He is also very consistent.

     

    Virus I just cant really get, I understand why I should like him but I always feel like I enjoy watching whoever he is in with more. 

     

    I dont think that last sentence made any sense.

  5. When I watch a Big E match, I spend most of the match wanting him to be more like Monty Brown and less like Big E. Just give him the pounce and let him rub his face / sniff the ropes already.

     

    That said I really enjoyed his stuff with Del Rio around this time last year and his stuff with AJ / Kaitlyn was fun.

     

    Titan is just another dude to me, I cant think of a match Ive seen and went "yep, that was awesome".  Not for me Im afraid.
