Wrestler of the Year?
Casas getting two good but overrated matches out of a scrub like Angel de Oro should put him up there. With Terry and Navarro working mostly in IWRG and not a lot of Maestro matches, it's kinda hard to pick from Lucha.

Night of Champions
I really enjoyed Orton/Ziggler and the Main event. Ziggler/Orton seem to have good chemistry and I would like to see them feud when Ziggler wins the title hopefully soon. Main event was also great. The finish was nuts. JBL added a lot to this show. It wouldn't have been as good without him really. Especially during the Orton and Cesaro matches.

Wrestler of the Year?
My wrestler of the year would probably be Tyson Kidd. The Hunico matches and the Mcgillicutty matches alone put him up the list for me. Realistically, It will probably be Okada or Tanahashi. Maybe Punk has a chance. More people need to watch Ray Gonazlez down in Puerto Rico. His matches with Thunder and Lightning have been real good brawls like the ones Puerto Rico used to have.

[1995-12-13-WAR-Super J Cup] Gran Naniwa vs Damien 666
I gotta agree with FLIK here. This wasn't that funny. Seeing Damian as a comedy wrestler after watching years of his hardcore stuff is weird.

SMW Ongoing Thread
Finishing up the SMW set and my opinion of Cornette has changed about two times. When I first started watching, I was a huge fan cause of what I've seen from other places. Then I started watching the matches and by 95 when he was beating up all the top faces and guys like D-Lo Brown and Bob Armstrong by himself, I was getting sick of him and kinda thought he might be overrated. Then I got to the extras and the interviews he did while bed ridden from Bob piledriving him and I became a fan again. When did Cornette go from Mama's boy to beating up babyfaces and acting equal to the wrestlers? Was it after the Bodies left the first time?

[1995-12-12-ECW-TV] Steve Austin vs Mikey Whipwreck vs The Sandman
Sandman looked out of it even before he got in the ring. Interesting to see the champ eliminated first. I didn't enjoy it as much as Loss but it was a good match. You can see shades of Stone Cold in Austin.

[1995-12-11-WWF-Raw] Bret Hart vs Bob Backlund
This match proves how out of touch WWF was at the time. You have the champ taking on the guy he wrestled at Mania and all the announcer can talk about is Stu Hart and the Bulldog. Just a dead match and a dead crowd.

[1995-12-11-WWF-Raw] Interview: Shawn Michaels
Shawn's "crying" was daytime emmy worthy. Todd makes Michael Cole look like Gorilla Monsoon.

[1995-12-11-NJPW-Battle Final] Keiji Muto vs Shiro Koshinaka
I'm not getting the love for this match. Seemed like it was mostly restholds and then Muto locks on the figure four and wins. Kinda felt flat.

I had no idea Bob was still around after SMW closed? Did he ever actually wrestle there on house shows?

[1995-12-04-WCW-Nitro] Lex Luger vs Randy Savage
So why is Jimmy Hart managing Luger? I mean Luger helped Sting try to eliminate Giant in the battle royal. LOL at Bischoff getting shots in at Vince over HBK. Talking about how WCW wrestlers fight through injury even though Savage admitted he was injured at the ppv.

I got a laugh out of the guy behind the camera trying to get Bob to wrap it up and Bob goes nuts.

Savio makes the save for JR. Weird to see Backlund get a push so late into 95. Especially after Mania failing.
