YES! Now we are talking. Brad is legit my favourite wrestler (and that has earned me some ribbing from those who favour the bigger 'stars'). I first got to see Brad wrestle in 1990 NWA TV over here in the UK. He wrestled a match with Ric Flair and the combination of Flair being Flair and Brad being great made me as a 20 year old 'newbie' believe that Armstrong was going to score the upset. Ever since then, I've really dug Brad's stuff-just a great, great worker. Really pleased that he is finally starting to get the recognition he deserves.

More Tenryu love from me here. And I loved the crowd reaction. Massive reaction when he was in, booing the hell out of his partners when they entered. Especially liked the triple destruction job that Nogami, Hashimoto and Mutoh did with the elbow drops on Tenryu at one point during the bout. If there is one guy I've completely turned the fence on due entirely to these sets its Tenryu. I've totally gone from 'meh' to 'OMG this guy is incredible!'

Mary-Kate Grosso if I recall rightly. I met her, but have always wondered if she is the one in the ECW crowd. I'm assuming so as they look similar.

Clearly Benoit was amazing, but to me the guy I really 'discovered' in the 1996 set was Genichiro Tenryu. I thought he was good before, but his matches with Takada really opened my eyes to just how awesome he was! Maybe not the MVP of the set, but to me he was the MAN on this set. Also, another guy who made an impression was Yakushiji. Such an enjoyable guy to watch.

Was really pleased to see this. I was actually at the London show and saw the Sid attack take place live, but as I didn't have cable at the time, I never got to see it on TV. Amazed to see that you can actually see my camera flash as it takes place, as evidenced by this photo on my Facebook page... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=4616...544&theater

I really liked this. A lot. No, it wasn't the crisp technical bout you'd hope for, but the slips etc just made it that much more exciting for me. Kong's stuff is so believably brutal...the headbutts to the back of Toyota's head, the slaps, even the basic splash off the top looks incredibly violent. I may be a little forgiving, but I thoroughly enjoyed this from top to bottom

Ranking so much stuff would blow my mind, but the biggest discovery for me so far was the Manami Toyota v Sakie Hasegawa match. Just loved that, and really cared about wanting Hasegawa to get the victory by the end.
