[1996-12-06-AJPW-Real World Tag League] Mitsuharu Misawa & Jun Akiyama vs Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue
Just a great match. I wouldn't call it the greatest match of all time. I liked that the match had no down time at all and the crowd was hot throughout. Having said that, It's not even the best match on the disc. I liked the 2nd Santo tag better. That might be the Lucha mark in me and not really loving the All Japan 90's style.

How do you self-identify as a wrestling fan?
I think the only thing that has changed for me from when I first started watching wrestling(1995) to now is I just have more options to watch. Back in the day, My friends and I were huge WWF marks and that was really the only wrestling we watched. I started getting into WCW for the Luchadors in 96 and I was a huge fan of Randy Savage and still am. Now in 2011, I watch more wrestling now than I did when you had hundreds of hours of stuff on cable. You got Lucha on the computer, WWE shows, WWC, Youtube, Will's DVDS etc. I've also gone to more shows now than ever. Just bought a ticket to go to Smackdown on May 3rd. When Wrestling was really hot, I only went to maybe 2 shows a year. Just this year, I've been to at least 7.

[1996-11-24-WCW-World War III] 60-man battle royal
Man his Total Package run was just awful. He was never the same after joining the Wolfpac and started to wear Jeans. I liked this match. Regal looked badass and Giant's one handed throw of Rey was incredible. Was this the match where they had 3 different sets of announcer calling the action?

Dave Meltzer stuff
So from tonight's Observer Radio, Miz has officially turned into the new "Junkfood" dog. It tops the Orton babyface hate. Dave was in rare form tonight with his hate. Bryan and him dissing Sin Cara cause his entrance wasn't "flashy" enough was funny.

I was down on Han to start the year but he's really impressed me the past couple matches. He's like Cena in the overcome the odds deal.

Dave Meltzer stuff
What was with Dave saying the Hall of fame thing at Mania was "too short" and didn't feature the inductors? It was pretty much what it usually is and they never include the inductors.

Wrestlemania 20 7
I'm just glad JR and King are back calling the last 4 matches. They make Mania feel special. Especially during the Taker match.

Favorite WrestleMania moment
Being there live to see Flair "retire" was great. But I kinda liked the atmosphere in the stadium during Orton/Cena/HHH. That was just insane.

[1996-11-18-WWF-Raw] Steve Austin vs Mankind
You can see Austin get more and more comfortable in his character here. This was a nice match and total brawl. Does that sign say Fuck in the vidcap?

The importance of jobbers
USA would probably never allow it. Plus you already have jobbers on the show like JTG, Trent Barretta and sadly, Chris Masters.

[1996-11-04-WWF-Raw] Steve Austin-Brian Pillman confrontation
I loved this when I first saw it and I still like it. Too bad it didn't lead to anything but I think it was worth it. Still not as bad as the Liz/Golberg rape thing in 99 or Sandman getting crucified on a cross. And Lawler calling this stupid while at the same time creating Macho Warrior Rick Hogan is funny.
