I can't not pick Steamboat. The first wrestling I remember turning on was Jake DDTing Ricky on the floor. The first feud I ever followed was Steamboat/Savage. Family man Steamboat vs Playboy Flair. For work, maybe there's a lost Martel/Bockwinkel series out there I haven't seen, but Steamboat's output exceeds anything Martel or Tito have shown me.

I wish there was more prime O'Connor available. Everything I've seen I've loved.

Danny Hodge vs a boxer who can't wrestle is basically homicide.

Darren Young looked like millions of dollars, millions of dollars.

Neither's a guy I particularly care for, but I'll take RVD's needlessly flippy offense over Sabu's "no wait, let me try that again" if you put a gun to my head and make me choose.

Most likely the Shield get spun into feuds with the peripheral babyfaces - Big Show, Miz, Ziggler, and Cody - in some combination. But they're the enforcers for the COO and that's going to keep them in show-ending segments (with THE biggest active babyface in the company, incidentally) for the foreseeable future, and is a much more prestigious position than feuding with the Usos or Prime Time Players over the tag titles. Sooner or later there will be a ShowMiz reunion or Z-Rhodes or some other horribly-named combination of the above will challenge for the tag titles, and Cody or Miz will challenge for the US title. The angle's less than a month old. You gotta give it some time. If they're still doing the same thing a month from now, that's the time to bitch.

This angle is the main event. Taking them out of it would be a demotion.

Internationally, does he have any competition for that #1 spot as a global promoter? My instinct is to say no, but I've got more than a few blind spots.
