    Like what the Yuuzhan Vong? The Chiss? I'm sorry it's always gonna boil down to Jedi vs Sith.

    Brian Hildebrand, Charles Robinson, Sandy Barr(yeah, deal with it), and maybe Joey Marella.

    I'm honestly okay with people under thirty not knowing what Max Headroom is. I'm just not okay with people on this fucking board not knowing.

    Or old Kane May 19 promos.

    At least you guys come together for your love of Psych, right? My wife and I do.

    The deal with angle is that he made the pros who voted feel like they were special.

    Wait, are we encouraging Cybernetico by replying to this or are we just being nice to Brian?

    No kidding. First time I watched it I remember posting on the old board something along the lines of, "watching the two of them, you'd think HBK was the one who suffered the stroke." Bret's recollection of details was amazing while Shawn seemed out of it - granted, in those days, more often than not he probably was. After watching a bunch of early 90s WCW, I was gonna post something similar but didn't want risk saying something like that in public. The Zenk/Pillman tag team was REALLY good. Then again, Pillman was just tremendous in everything he did. It's a shame about the drugs and the injuries because can you imagine the run he would've had in the Attitude era? People are reevaluating Johnny B Badd elsewhere. Feel free to do the same with z-man. I mean i'm not going to, but you have at it.

    Is Guido the single best quasi-regular (original) ECW guy? Who else is even in that argument? Tajiri? Smothers? Old Man Funk? I presume that excludes Eddy/Dean/name redacted? I wouldn't think there was enough content there. Also, if we only look at their ECW time, some of that stuff hasn't aged as well as it could have. I mean I don't Rey's a good answer either.

    He didn't shake Cena's hand backstage or something. (apparently it is hard to find a subtle animated gif for "rumblings" that wouldn't get me in trouble. This was on page one though)

    I'm doing a write in vote for former WWE on-screen personality Rob Naylor.
  15. Matt D
    He probably would have made more money working indies as the Rooster

    I've never really heard "kids go to bed" as a reason for ratings moving one way or another. It's an interesting discussion
  17. Matt D
    Yeah, it's pretty cool actually, not like Japan where I don't think they wrestle.

    Regal is as much of a personality as a wrestler this year so he definitely gets points for commentating/podcast appearances/tweets. As for the Big Ending, I've never seen it live, but wrestling is symbolic. With moves like that (and to a lesser extent the Downward Spiral) I've always felt that it's about controlling the impact. Big E can position exactly how the guy falls and how hard and on his timing. It'd knock the wind out of someone. It may not look painful but it does look "big" and that means a thousand times more in the WWE. It has a flourish.

    To me the trickiest thing about lucha is that I always feel I can't just watch one match but I have to watch a bunch of trios leading up to it. And that's fine since they're great but time is a tricky thing this month. Also, I hope it gets to Tanahashi vs Casas just to see what Dylan does.
  20. Matt D
    This may be my lack of lucha fu showing but one thing I love about Casas this year is that when it comes to wrestlers over 50, I'm really used to them getting shoehorned into babyface roles. I really like old man Bock's last heel run and old man Mr. Wrestling II in Mid-south in 84 and not QUITE as old Wahoo in Crockett in early 85, but most of the time you get the Brusier/Crusher type old timey legends runs, which can be fine, but it's cool to see Casas as such a canny, savvy force as an out and out Rudo at his age. I especially like what I've seen of the matches with Rush because of the visual comparison between the two. In some ways Casas looks like Rush's evil future self with the long stringy hair.

    I don't get why people have problems with the big ending. It's no worse than an ace crusher/diamond cutter, whatever, or a flapjack. It's something that can be seen from the back row, that isn't too weirdly cooperative, and that usually has a big impact. The idea is that you a>drop a guy on his face and b> totally knock the wind out of him. It'd be one thing if a crusierweight was doing it, but it's a pretty good drop from up there and he does it intensely. It's also a good position for guys to escape from which will matter a lot more later when he starts doing WWE Main Event style matches.

    I was going to vote with Phil on principle here, but he jumped on Big E with not nearly enough time soul-seeking this morning, so I'm going to watch some more Titan matches and make a call later. It's nuts to me that they dropped the 5 count stuff for Big E though.
  23. Matt D
    So yeah, I love Big Show. I'm probably the biggest Big Show fan on the board. I think he's really good at working the crowd and is one of the best working big men of all times. I do think he had good matches in his tags with Rey, when he was against the Shield, the crazy scene vs Brock, and I do think he got amazingly over in the fall before the debacle with Orton and the dancing baby new years follow up. Tough draw for the big fella.

    I really hate the word carelord, can't imagine anyone over the age of thirty actually using it, and would probably donate an extra ten bucks to the site if it somehow went away.
  25. Matt D
    I still think we should be discussing the Bushwhackers.
