Order of the Traumas seems wrong, I always thought 1 was clearly the better guy

Best Greatest Hits Album?
Out of guys not making your ballot, who would have the best 10 match or so greatest hits album, maybe not a guy with a long great career but some huge highs. Couple of guys I was thinking of. Steve Corino A lot of his career he was coasting on shtick, but if you look at his top matches you have some truly awesome stuff. His pair of Homicide matches in ROH (Better friends, stiffer enemies is maybe my favorite ROH match ever), the incredible Hashimoto/Corino/Knight/Steele 4-way, Tajiri ECW match. I just am not sure I can rate a guy with 8 or so classics and so much chaff Mil Muertes After last nights match, we are looking at four Lucha Underground classics and those pair of awesome LA Park brawls, that is a pretty high end. Not really sure what else is out there though.

Should I Vote For Jumbo?
Mine are Jumbo and Toyota Probably am going to rank Jumbo somewhere, because I do like his late 80s stuff a fair amount, he will be way low though as I find his stuff before 88 or so pretty boring

Awesome

What Locker Room had the Most Guys
Lots of those guys weren't around together though, Aj Styles was never in the locker room with Mick Foley. I am thinking one day, one look in, who would have the most (It still might be late 90s WCW though)
-
What Locker Room had the Most Guys

Jimmy Redman's Boot Camp
You really should watch the two Lawler v. Dundee LLT matches and the highlights of the UWF v. NJ feud

Jerry "The King" Lawler
This is my favorite WWF Lawler match Jerry Lawler v. Goldust WWF 5/26/97-EPIC We start with Lawler spitting hot fire in a backstage promo. He calls Goldust a flaming fag, Marlena the biggest Goldigger in GA and says they should have named their daughter Target because everyone in Atlanta took a shot. Goldust jumps him at the bell and they go toe to to at a breakneck pace. The rights and lefts are as good as you would hope a Dustin v. Lawler punch exchange would be. The show was in Evansville IN, so Lawler get a huge crowd reaction even as a heel, including a Lawler chant as he was choking Dustin. Lawler gets bumped to the floor and bitch slapped by Marlena but he steals a quick pin with his feet on the ropes. Post match was great too, with them brawling to the stage and Lawler taking a huge rolling bump all the way down the ramp. Total bell to bell brawl in which every moment was great. Really makes me want to seek out more Goldust matches here, as this was brawling at the level of his best stuff with Buck and Funk. I also really liked his MSG debut against Tito Jerry Lawler v. Tito Santana WWF 3/21/93-GREAT Lawler debuts in MSG and immediately gets the crowd riled up hardcore. He starts shit talking the rotten apple, and offers to let Sanatana out of the match if he kisses his feet. First part of the match has Tito bumping Lawler around, while Jerry cheap shots stalls and talks shit to the crowd. It is really great to see an old pro break out some classic tricks on a new stage and get folks screaming for his scalp like that. The match really kicks into gear when Lawler gets the advantage and hits his beautiful piledriver. He then grabs the house mike and tries to start a "wetback" chant, I am surprised a young Fat Joe didn't jump the rail and stab him in the ribs. He goes to crotch Tito on the ringpost, but Santana pulls his legs back causing Lawler to smash his face into the ringpost as only Jerry can. The have a heated bit of brawling before Santana tries a sunset flip, which Lawler sits down and grab the ropes for the pin. They then keep brawling and end up spilling into the crowd exchanging shots among the fans. The last five minutes of this were off the charts, and if that section was longer I could see rating this Epic. The first was fun mid card MSG, the second part was main event MSC.

I imagine a Championship disc would sell best. Maybe something like the bloody brawls of Houston

JvK's Six-Factor Model for GWE rankings [BIGLAV]
For Low-Ki's peak, he was #7 on the DVDVR 500 for 2001, so his peak should at least start then, he was in two of the Segunda Caida top 10 matches of 2015 which suggest his peak should still be going on.

Chico Che
Its interesting. Che probably has almost as many great matches on tape as someone like Wahoo McDaniel, its just that you can be sure Wahoo has a deep well of matches unseen, where I honestly have no idea where Chico Che is, and where he was before his awesome IWRG run.
-
Chico Che
Everything we have from him is great, but it is such a couple of years in IWRG and then he disappears. If he showed up on BTJr. HH or had a longer IWRG run I could see an argument, but we just don't have the footage. Still at his best Chico Che is one of the greats.

Yuki Ishikawa
I reviewed Ishikawa v. Freedom Wallace from Santino's fed in December over at SC http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2016/02/battle-arts-professional-wrestling-pilot.html Holy hell is Ishikawa still fucking great
