The Comedian

Yeah maybe they coulda shot for a bit more realism here, like "Becomes possibly the most dominant center in Dallas history although you could still make an argument for James Donaldson"

I don't know about the best...I guess my favorite watching it live was Hardy Boyz-Edge & Christian in a cage at Unforgiven 2000. Worst is easily the Taker-Bossman HIAC at WrestleMania XV.

Hell yes it is. In fact it may be the new Breaking Bad, in that it starts out looking like a quirky dramedy and then gets DARK.

Well, he is the star pupil of his best friend's wrestling academy.

Yeah the piledriver was a regular part of Rude's squash repertoire going back at least to his WWF days. And Charlie M., I agree on Rude's WCW squashes being better, since they were more about getting Rude over as vicious, where his WWF squashes were usually about getting him over as arrogant.

Rick Rude vs. Mark Starr (WCW Saturday Night 5/14/94) I think this may be Rude's final televised match, as it was taped before but aired after his career-ending injury. The great thing here is that it looks like Rude gets legitimately pissed about Starr catching his opening kick, so he just kind of hops on one leg for about five seconds, then proceeds to stiff the fuck out of Starr for the next couple minutes.

hey if anyone's doing a Mark Henry comp make sure you throw in the poem from the Owen Hart tribute Raw since its easily the single best thing about that whole show...

Big John Studd vs. Chris Duffy & Mitch Carey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwTwsqhE02w I've watched a lot of squashes on youtube in the name of Firepro CAW moveset-building, and Studd's squash matches (at least the late-80's face ones) tend to be fun since he'd do stuff besides standard WWF big guy clubbering. Here he whips out an Oklahoma Roll of all things, in addition to a great butterfly suplex.

In ruminating on the fact that Henry has the girth of a Fat Monster yet is actually a Muscle-Bound Monster I just realized that, were he ever willing to part with the hair, he would be the perfect guy to cast as the Kingpin in the eventual Daredevil reboot.

How the hell is Sky Lynx bigger than Fortress Maximus? That chart sucks...

You can find some real gems on some of those free streaming sites. I got Kung-Fu Theater and in with all the cut-rate chop socky I was pleased to find the old Crimson Bat/Oichi The Blind Swordswoman films from the late 60's, which are fucking awesome.
