AJ Styles
AJ is one of a handful of active guys I'll consider. Right now I've got him high 40's. His athleticism & bumping are on a separate level that almost make up for his short comings. He's an ultimate babyface IMO; undersized, works well from underneath, gets some great sympathy. Also, can't discount his tag work especially with Chris Daniels.

The Steiner Brothers
Top 20- never had great match structure but every now & then I want to see people get thrown around. Rick & Scott did that as well an anybody. Bonus points for entertaining squash matches

Jerry "The King" Lawler
Lawler got a great match out of The Miz....case closed, best of all time.

Impact Cancelled
They did this to themselves. I was a big fan of TNA in the mid 2000's but they've done everything possible to sabotage themselves.

[1997-07-13-WCW-Bash at the Beach] Chris Benoit vs Kevin Sullivan
The ending to this match pissed me off to no end. These two had a very personal feud for over a year with numerous brutal matches, this one included. In the end, it wasn't Benoit that beat Sullivan it was Jackie. Made no sense to me.

WWE PayBack - Live as it happens
Really liked Payback on the whole, but the last man standing match didn't do it for me. Yes, it had big spots but it had zero selling. I know we're all used to it but last night it just seemed more obvious. That match was an overbooked, Attitide era at its worst, clusterfuck.

C.M Punk
I really enjoy Punk when he's a heel & he can "drop pipe bombs." But as a face, he almost Miz bad. He obviously doesn't like playing that part & it shows. As far as in ring goes, he may be one of the most overrated wrestlers currently. He throws the absolute worst kicks this side of the Divas division & he borrows way to much from other wrestlers. Plus, he's a dick.

[1996-09-16-WCW-Nitro] Interview: Sting
Just watched this promo today & it's probably the best promo I've ever seen Sting cut. Good intensity & good content but having him turn his back to the camera was the cherry on top.

A thread in which we celebrate Mark Hunt vs Bigfoot Silva
Best heavyweight fight I've ever seen & probably the only time I was happy to see a draw.

What are you watching?
Fall Brawl 96- what a great time it was to be a WCW fan. The undercard here was really Lucha heavy (Rey vs Super Calo & Konnan vs Juvi) Benoit vs Jericho had a fantastic match. Hell, the Nasty Boys weren't even that bad! The story of Sting "joining the nWo" is one of my favorites & it's really cool to rewatch and feel like I'm 16 again.

Favourite submissions holds
Original Liontamer: when Jericho used do it in WCW it looked so devastating and painful. It's a shame it turned into a Boston Crab later, but the original will always be my favorite.

Introduction to the Board as a wrestling fan
Hey everybody I'm new to the forum (obviously), I'm Paul from New York. I'm 33 & have been watching wrestling since 85. I was lucky to get into it as Mania 1 was ramping up. I've been a steady watcher ever since. WCW/NWA was my go to promotion & my love for it prompted me to start a WCW podcast. I grew bored with the current product, thought it would be fun to go back & start WCW from the 1st Nitro and it's been an absolute blast. Thanks for having me here!
