I think Kerry Von Erich would be a good comp to JYD. I think Kerry Von Erich is a better candidate than JYD. Kerry drew in Texas,Mid-South, was a big draw in St. Louis, and did well in Japan. Was a former NWA champ when it meant something. Kerry was a better worker than JYD. JYD was a huge draw in Mid-South. He was the #2 face for a while in the WWF. I also thought the Dog meant something in Georgia. To me the Dog's flame burnt out too quick, but can see an argument for him being on the ballot. -

Morton was really good here, but Gilbert was just phenomenal. Morton doesn't get enough love for his interviews. He wasn't a great talker, but you believed in what he was selling. He was able to get himself and programs over.

I always thought when Flair faced Koloff in the cage. Dusty comes out to help Flair, and Flair and the Horseman do the big beatdown on Rhodes to a huge amount of heat.

This is a classic. Easily in my top 5 Lucha matches of all time. I love how the mat wrestling is the base of the match. Through that we get an incredible 3rd caida that the crowd is going bonkers on all the false finishes. I think Meltzer gave this 4*. He really underrated this classic.

This is kinda dissapointing considering the talent level. The Steiners take a beating here. Scott in particular. Bigelow looked like he gained more weight, but didn't hamper his work.

I'm pretty open minded about things. Though I have never been able to get into female wrestling. I don't know why. Another thing is with the high end indy stuff. I hate all those snarky chants from the fans. It can really just kill a match.

I haven't seen this in a while so I'll check it out again soon. One thing about this show was the in the ring stuff was really good. Some of the booking choices is weird. We get 2 non title matches. 2 Matches that end up going 30, so the main event going 30 kinda kills the iron match stips. Not allowing the Sting/Cactus match or Rude/Steamer to go last because of an angle with Cactus and Steamboat seems stupid. Here's an idea. Kill the angle and do it on the weekend show. Plus you could argue the Iron Man match had too many falls. Plus in back to back matches we see Cactus work over Sting's ribs and then in the next bout we have Steamboat work over Rude's ribs. FYI Rude sold his ribs a billion times better than Sting, and with Sting we actually had an injury angle. For a guy who had a rep for being a sticular for detail Watts does miss a lot here.
