This is exactly that. Masters came in as a vulnerable heel making the local promotion's #1 or #2 babyface, a kayfabe 320 pound guy who could move pretty well, hit his stuff okay, and had decent charisma look like a million bucks. I've mainly seen him as a face the last few years so it was good to see a heel performance. Also, you get D-Lo Brown on Commentary.

Colt did get something like a bazillion views/hits/DLs too so it's not like he didn't somehow benefit from it.

He took all of Wally's other good qualities.

I'm a CPhT in school to be a N-P. The idea that a guy being skilled enough to save a guy from a heart attack doesn't know enough shit about infections to say 'yeah, you ain't workin tonight' is laughable. Especially when MRSA infections can be deadly, contagious and are usually so painful that you can't do shit while you have one.I know people have an either 'you can't stand the shithead' or 'you want him to stick something in you' view when it comes to Punk, but come on. Common sense ain't for everyone, I know. Counterpoint: WWE and its employees have a long history of being corrupt, inept, and utterly defiant of common-sense practices that would be prevalent in any other area of life. There's a reason why people buy into Punk's claims so easily that leans away from fandom and towards history.

Ok, we need to settle the WHO IS THE BETTER USO question, once and for all. Have them in a play-in, or in the first round. We'll have to watch a bunch of singles matches from Main Event.

I watched Masters vs Tony Vargas from BTW and Chris is the best guy in the world of coming into a territory and making your heel look formidable before maybe beating him. He sells so broadly (almost too broadly), interacts with the crowd really well, and has simple stuff that looks good and has meaning behind it. He's the best "travelling star" in the world. I believe that. I just don't know if it's a role that'll get him too much credit since it doesn't necessarily make for great matches, since by its nature, he has to give a lot of it to the local yokel. The Chris Hero vs Chris Masters match was just frustrating, mainly due to Hero really not looking great when I had high hopes. It was also face vs face super-indy which is probably not ideal for Masters' strengths.

More matches than Brock including Triple H's career best match and one of the best Mania main events of all time? I don't know. Let's see how Sunday goes. The Tag Team Turmoil match was pretty boss.

If I was Vince I'd send this to Punk, just with a sticker over "Man" that said "Pak"

From the WON obit of Robley: "Robley, an old-time carny character like out of a 50s movie, was very close with Bruiser Brody, and would book him to promoters around the world. Other said Robley used his friendship with Brody to get booking jobs, but Brody always praised Robley as having great street smarts, great ideas, until he had success and ended up loaded, and he was somebody you could learn from. When Brody was murdered, Robley got messed up, grabbed a gun and had to be talked out of flying to Puerto Rico to try and kill Jose Gonzalez." The book certainly never gave you that impression.

It's really annoying how little Rey Escorpion did this year.

I'm pretty much with Mark here too. In an ideal world Maximo and Sombra would probably be there too, but I get the need to cap.

This is mainly for my own sake because I wanted to make a list, but I'm pretty happy with the slate of what my wife and I are watching right now. It's usually pretty easy to find a middle ground that doesn't hit my far extreme (Venture Bros, more Britishy period dramas for instance) and hers (Criminal Minds, SVU, NCIS). In-Season Agent Carter/SHIELD Suits 12 Monkeys How To Get Away With Murder The Blacklist Castle Galavant/Once Upon a Time The Middle Gotham Off season: Fargo Game of Thrones Royal Pains True Criminal Defiance Hell on Wheels Librarians Doctor Who Orphan Black Flash Arrow When they make a season out of it eventually: Man in the High Castle Probably cancelled: Halt and Catch Fire It's a pretty good genre mix and light/heavy mix in general, with a few things we can watch with the kid too (Who, Librarians, Middle, Carter/Shield, Flash). TV is really good right now and there's plenty of stuff we'd like that we're not even tapping into (House of Cards, Vikings, The Americans, etc).

My plan right now is to do two King Haku matches for SegundaCaida next week (Weds and Fri). Unfortunately, while both have Negro Casas neither have Kron and Thor.

I would actually pick Mizdow for entertainment value over a lot of guys. if Stardust doesn't make the cut, I have to reevaluate my avatars moving forward. Speaking of entertainment value, it's a weird metric because the two most entertaining things WWE has produced all year are: 1. Hornswoggle as Tyrion: 2. Vaudevillians vignette:

I have EIGHT days to watch Chris Masters matches from 2014. How the hell is the Thatcher match not online?

We have been for-jae-ken. I really wish that the Cena vs Bad News Barrett match from Abu Dhabi had gotten fancammed. I wanted to watch that. I'm not sure Barrett has any case as is.

"Oh crap! Quick, everyone cheese it before her mom sees this!"

Cesaro needs to be in for the Sin Cara match from Main Event, the Sheamus fan cam which is one of the best WWE matches of 2014, and some of the tag work with Kidd. I'd have to look at the July match vs Cena. How does that hold up? Goldust has the Usos tags, at least. It wasn't the most spectacular year but he's still so damn good.

Bobby freaking Bass has a podcast now. And he has Ron Starr, probably the best journeyman in modern wrestling history on ep 2. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/bobbybass

We had a 2 hour delay in Howard County, MD, but apparently the bus arrived 25 minutes late on top of that so instead of standing outside for 3 minutes minute in 3 degree weather, my middle schooler got to stand outside for 25 minutes in 10 degree weather. On the other hand, he's been talking back a lot lately.

Does Owens have enough worthwhile Indy footage? All I've seen from him is the Lawler match. I'm thinking who the hidden C-Show gem might be this year. Would it be Titus?

So many tildes

1993-10-08 Arena México 4 of 5: Emilio Charles Jr., Mocho Cota, Sangre Chicana b King Haku, Kron, Thor I badly need more information about this. All of this.

Global you say? Here's my final four:
