I never got Black... I think he's dull and not terribly compelling in the ring, but that's me. I know plenty around here dig him. I just turned 49 on Saturday so maybe I'm becoming a curmudgeon regarding pro-wrestling in general to the point where Jim Cornette might tell me to lighten the fuck up

I think there's a good argument that the few month period where NXT went from Gargano-Almas to Almas losing to Black and Gargano-Ciampa starting their multiyear stranglehold on 40 minute main event matches was the apex and beginning of the descent of NXT, with Almas the last champion of peak NXT and Black the first champion of current NXT.

My favorite Show eras were 1) 1997ish WCWSN matches with Meng with dropkicks and shit, and 2) when he came back after the Mayweather match and was getting the punch over. That match with Taker at I believe it was No Mercy was legit good as hell with an awesome ending.

Hopefully AEW rehabs Paul and don't book him as crying heel/face flip flopper like WWE did. Anyway AEW really seems to want to link up with WCW history.
If he doesn't have green chyron for his name I'll be highly disappointed.

What kind of DVDVR poster is Coach Tony K when he signs Big Show to teach Luchasaurus how to work and not Mark Henry.

Edge to me is similar to Bryan in that he's enough of a name guy to have a WM match with Reigns at a time when Reigns isn't going to lose to anybody, and you don't want to feed someone with upward mobility to him. It's not a match I particularly want to see but I get it booking wise.
I don't know who exactly on the roster should beat Reigns at some point, but I think we're a year+ away from it.
Miz was a highlight until the past year's team with Morrison which has been the drizzling shits. If this cash in happened a year ago no one would have an issue with it. As it is, the stench of corporate brand synergy whatever is all over it and it pretty much sucks.

The WM match with Lesnar stands out as one that Mox clearly hyped as him more or less turning into Onita. I look forward to hearing the story of that match one day; I highly doubt it would be Brock that would veto anything given what a bump freak he is.

Is there a good recap of Stop The Matsunaga anywhere?
pretty sure DEAN had an amazing write up on the old board. Don't know if that's available anywhere.

I really want someone to use this story again already.
Well, with the forbidden door open and all, might I suggest Eddie Kingston bringing in Matanza Cueto.

I don't really include title reigns in streaks. I was thinking more in how undefeated streaks just always seem to founder at the point where it ends. I hate dirty finishes and I think that often happens to protect guys. If you did it right, then why does the guy who just tore through the roster need to be protected?
Streaks also need to end up like King of the Ring, a gimmick to nowhere. It tends to be a defining trait when it should be a stat. If your character is "I'm undefeated" then at some point you have nothing.
The best win streak I can really think of is Matsunaga in I think it was Zero 1? He ran through the roster only to be stopped by an up and coming Yoshihito Sasaki. That also was a barbed wire no ropes match and I remember it being fairly brutal.
Seamlessly weaving the simultaneous unbeaten streak and barbed wire match discussions together. Nicely done - championship caliber posting right here.And Stop The Matsunaga was sooooo good. Always love the angle where the heel gets desperate and brings out the maniacal cleaner against the baby faces, but then can’t put the genie back in the bottle.

Oh man, Tony playing the role of "Japanese announcer absolutely freaking out when a guy goes into the explosion" is going to be worth all my money alone.

Just want to say that I love the graphics AEW is using for this show with the full body fighting game-like images. Really cool.

Possibly the single best entrance of all time. That’s heat, brother.
I love Riho but I do get the criticism. If AEW was a video game, I think we’d be saying that her physics were too floaty.

I'm gonna do house shows only. Was at WM 25 Taker/Shawn so that wins overall.
I got to see Flair and Steamboat in 94 as they went around the horn around the time of Spring Stampede. It was, of course, amazing.
Saw the infamous Nasties/Outsiders shoot in Shreveport.
The initial WWE Starrcade house show in Greensboro a few years ago was pretty cool. Dustin came out to the WCW theme and Arn spinebustered a dude.

I don’t think they’d put Banks over Belair after just putting Charlotte over Ripley last year.

Great show! Not sure I’m terribly interested in Cole back in the title scene...was really refreshing without him.

I liked the WCW big match ring bell. “Ding...ding...ding”

Okada vs Fenix please. Or, oh snap, Okada/Dustin!

I'm curious to see what closes WM. Obviously Roman is the biggest star in the company, but he also should steamroll whoever he's up against and keep building this character. He shouldn't really be in jeopardy until crowds are back in the building. So do you close your biggest show with a foregone conclusion?

Dustin Rhodes. Only a very small handful of dangerous matches in a 30 year career that was both safe for him and his opponents while putting on high end stuff.

That might just deserve its own thread. Holy shit.
With a tear.....in my eye.....I might just get to revisit my 20 year Idaho Vandals dynasty.

Also, I really hope they over-inflate Christian's star power and he gets a singles program vs Sami or someone.
Man there’s like a whole rogue’s gallery of dudes he can go have 15 minute Christian TV Matches with and I’m right fucking here for it.
Edge can go his main event thing or whatever. I’m here for Christian/Cesaro in the third quarter hour.

Reigns / Cena or Reigns / Bryan are rock solid show headliners. I’m fine with Edge getting in the Drew mix.

I can get with the general sentiment, but off the top of my head, No Mercy 2002 tag with Mysterio/Benoit/Angle was a five star banger.
