WWF style v. WCW style
The reason that WWF mid 90s work was like 80s AWA, because all the big names from AWA were in WWF.

rebooking Summerslam 96
Should Vader have won the wwf title? I say yes. He was over and not really being a wwf guy. Shawn was never really over as champ in that time. What do you think?

Place to Be Podcast Episode 326: July & August All-Time PPV Cards
Great American Bash 1991? Just had to put it out there. Summerslam 1992 is a good card.

Will This Be Cena's Last World Title Reign?
Cena will probably win the title again, if Roman Reigns fails as top babyface, and if office will actuly let reigns become top face. If they do make cena take a step down from the top face.

My 50 favorite matches
Here are the matches that were in the OP that I subsequently dropped: Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Jack Brisco (8/28/76) Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Dynamite Kid (2/5/80) Nick Bockwinkel vs. Billy Robinson (12/11/80) Jerry Lawler vs. Terry Funk (3/23/81) Jim Duggan vs. Ted DiBiase (3/22/85) Ricky Steamboat vs. Randy Savage (Wrestlemania III, 3/29/87) Ultimate Warrior vs. Rick Rude (Summerslam, 8/28/89) Sting's Squadron vs. Dangerous Alliance (Wrestlewar, 5/17/92) Ricky Steamboat vs. Rick Rude (Beach Blast, 6/20/92) Bret Hart vs. 123 Kid (Raw, 7/11/94) I also had the following matches in an earlier draft of the list: Bob Backlund vs. Greg Valentine (2/19/79) Devil Masami vs. Chigusa Nagayo (8/22/85) Manami Toyota/Toshiyo Yamada vs. Mayumi Ozaki/Dynamite Kansai (11/26/92) For the most part, these are matches I found myself liking less the more I watched them, which would seem to indicate inappropriateness for a desert island list. Wow, I did not think many remember the bret v kid,in 94, on raw no less. I have recently rewatched ut and this is one hell of a match. Nice choice.

My 50 favorite matches
I have to agree with you about slaughter, in the early 80s, he had many great matches. This tag was great. Outside of early nWo, is slaughter the biggest over heel?

Good Will Wrestling: Fixing the WWE Part Three
I would agree, that the heel turn of Cena, and him becoming in bed with the authority. This is brilliant thinking, unfortunately, wwe will never do it. The wwe will not be willing to take that kind of risk. Wwe is fine with a 3.0 rating on cable, and a 1.5+ rating on cable for smackdown, and it's the semi-over exposure on tv.

Where the Big Boys Play #65 - Great American Bash 91
In 91, the book made a match to push scott steiner, but he got hurt, with the arm injury. Herd just did not want Flair, and wanted him to go away. Flair would not take a pay cut. So what we are left with is the shit of GAB 91. Who thought PN News should be on a scaffold?

Quotable Wrestling
I am the man of the hour, the man with the power. I am the hit maker, the record breaker. I got the smiling grace and a lovely face. I 'll make your back crack, and your liver quiver. If you do not dig this mess, you are at the wrong address, and Superstar, while all the rest are in the back, laughing and joking, the dream is out front, cooking and smoking!

[1991-07-14-WCW-Great American Bash] Steve Austin & Terrence Taylor vs Bobby Eaton & P.N. News ('Capture the Flag' Scaffold)
During the match ross says that the scaffold is plywood, and and hard, with no give, not like in the ring, which is plywood covered with canvas, which we all know makes all the difference. Was the setup for the original skywalkers match not available? Not in mothballs somewhere, or was it being used at a consrtuction site somewhere. Worst scaffold setup.
