Loki

Oh totally. I ran into Balls at a Life of Agony concert in 2005ish and he was the happiest, friendliest guy ever. He was just happy to be recognized, introduced me to his wife and wound up talking with me for like an hour about wrestling, music and being from NJ.

I forget...what was the New Movement?

He had a ton of great matches with RVD. It is a shame he didn't focus on more straight up wrestling.

1)Randy Savage vs Mitsuharu Misawa - Savage, as he more widely known and referenced culturally. 2)Ultimate Warrior vs Ricky Steamboat - I couldn't figure this one out. Like lots of kids fell in love with wrestling on the surface because the Warrior, well, he's the Warrior. But the ones who would stick around appreciate how great Steamboat is as a worker. And that influenced future wrestlers more so. 3)Jake Roberts vs Chris Jericho - Jericho, as his longevity and the variety of his body of work are more impressive. Also, Jericho is a great representative of prowrestling to the outside world. 4)Big Show vs Jeff Hardy - Hardy, as his tag team work is amazing and that parts of his life are a cautionary tale. 5)Edge vs Batista - In ring career, it is a wash. But Batista has had a more successful post-wrestling life. 6)Daniel Bryan vs Randy Orton - Bryan.

It's funny...I went to high school there before they had the mini arena. My friend teaches there and said it was very distracting having the WWE trucks outside the classroom all day. The last time WWE ran that building was right after they relaunched ECW with a so-so show.

This. There's so many better workers that I'm more drawn to ones that have better gimmicks.

Only if MSL is the special guest referee!

It has definitely been a crappy few weeks for MLW.

I keep wondering what their definition of being a success will be, especially on the live event run. Are they content running--and probably selling out--the smal/mid sized venues that ROH and NXT book. Or are they aiming bigger? I think at this point I'm less interested in seeing who is on their roster and more into what their goal is.

Good for Teddy and Davey Boy Jr. I wonder if with him signing, will Lance Archer be making any appearances with him.

They need more Cracker Barrel exclusive merch.

I finally got around to watching Lucha Underground when the first two seasons were on Netflix. Is it worth watching going forward?

THIS. But as fans, I think it can be hard to admit that a character that we've invested in has an upper limit. As for the Bayley stuff, I would say that in addition to Alexa walking all over her that the ongoing frenemy story with Sasha hasn't helped her at all.

He wasn't even there. All that rumor and innuendo.

My wife was passively watching All In, because she had no choice, and pointed that out to me. Once I noticed it, I couldn't un-notice it.

This. One opened in the last five years or so I think. You get all excited, then eat at one and immediately remember why you never go there.

Don't doubt yourself; I can totally see that now. Wow.

Abyss re-signed with Impact Wrestling. Was there ever a time where he would have been a good fit with the WWE?

Yeah. I could see that completely throwing them off. That said, the Juice/Switchblade match was really good.

That makes Shiek Tugboat look like a great idea.

Watching him mow through jobbers was terrifying as a kid. Especially all the commentary about how he had broken backs left and right with the powerbomb.

The only one that I couldn't vote either way was Tanahashi and AJ. I really think the world of both of them.

It's probably in the same vein of how Amazon Prime offers me HBO.

All of this. I was crying from laughing so hard at the Okerlund bits on the way into work this morning.

That period was my favorite of Brock since his return. I wonder why they dropped the kimura.
