Fun fact: the combined age of the workers in the main event is 140 years old. Looks completely unwatchable though and I would be stunned if they get over *1/2 for any of those matches.

Cena/JBL, WM21 - I gave my thoughts on this one in the WM21 thoughts thread. Brock/RVD, KOTR 2002 - In hindsight, it's not a bad decision, but at the time Brock had barely any heat at all despite the Goldberg-esque push, while RVD was over like crazy despite being buried in the midcard by politics. Had Rock not come back for a couple months at the time, this would have been a total flop, as none of the other main eventers would truly put him over, with Austin of course walking out over it and the titles being split again for no apparent reason other than HHH getting out of jobbing to him*. Add thoughts and other matches as you wish. * - I'm sure there is a re…

Harley Race v Ricky Steamboat - AJPW 12/07/82 Lou Thesz referees what up until now has been my personal favorite match of 1982. Race's career was in its twilight at this point, but it would be 1987 before he'd stop completely, and five years in wrestling is actually a mighty long time, if you take pretty much any wrestler into consideration and look at the progression (or regression, as the case may be) over any half-decade period. He's still got it in spades here, surprising the Hell out of me by pulling off a flying headscissors! He also puts Steamboat over strong -- the use of the headlock in the opening minutes is fantastic. They do all sorts of things to keep the…
