Your Working Number 1!
Since I started thinking about this until about an hour ago I was thinking I was going to have Kenta Kobashi at number one, but I think I may have changed my mind and now Shawn Michaels is probably my front runner.

Dave Meltzer stuff
Most of those old observers would only exist in physical paper form, I'd bet that for the one a week that gets uploaded they have someone type out the full thing cover to cover and put it on the website. So yeah Dave & Bryan probably think it'd be a big investment of time or money to upload 3 - 5 old observers per week.

[1996-01-01-WWF-Raw] Smoking Gunns vs Psycho Sid & 1-2-3 Kid vs Razor Ramon & Savio Vega vs Owen Hart & Yokozuna (Raw Bowl)
Vince saying NAACP instead of NCAA when Sid and The Kid are coming to the ring is the greatest thing ever

Who Will You Be the High Vote On?
CM Punk and Hiroshi Tanahashi have a very good chance of being in my top 10. Anyone else going to put Owen Hart in the top 40?

Rip Rogers
For people saying he doesn't have any really great matches I'd like to recommend this cage match with Lanny Poffo, it's awesome despite annoying commentary from Leaping Lanny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYLoL2dozsk

PWSS54 Rick Martel Running with the GOATs (Steven, Tim & Parv)
Stephen said on this show that the WWE has been called WWE longer than it was ever called WWF. This can't be true it's been called WWE since '02 or '03 so that only like 12 or 13 years, but it was called WWF from about 1980 to 2002. So Parv was right to refuse to accept that

Chris Hero
Now? Yes he does. But in 2010 he looked better than 1989 Barry Windham.

Chris Benoit
vs Great Sasuke Super J Cup 1994 w/ Shinjiro Otani vs Black Tiger & The Great Sasuke 1994 vs Koji Kanemoto 1995 w/ Dean Malenko vs Raven & Perry Saturn Spring Stampede 1999 If I wasn't supposed to be working I'd probably have a couple more matches on the list and dates for these ones.

Sorting the Nominees and Seeing Where They Stand
I gave that match ***1/2

Sorting the Nominees and Seeing Where They Stand
I don't dislike Arn Anderson, I think he's pretty good and he does have an outside shot at making my 100. However, I've just never seen him in a really excellent match that didn't have at least 7 other people in it. There's lots of Arn stuff that's considered great that I didn't much care for, such as the matches w/Ole vs Rock Roll Express or w/Barry Windham vs Doom from Starrcade '90.

Short-lived finishing moves?
When Hunter Hearst Helmsley first debuted he used a diamond cutter as a finish
-
Sorting the Nominees and Seeing Where They Stand
My prediction is nobody makes every single ballot. And I can tell you this for sure, Arn Anderson is very unlikely to make every ballot

Best Match - Unranked Wrestler
For me the best match where nobody in it is going to make my 100 would be Midnight Express vs Tracy Smothers and Steve Armstrong from the Great American Bash 1990. Although that version of the Midnights will be on my tag list.

Dave Meltzer stuff
We already had that weird thing quite a few months ago where the Usos started doing super kicks all the time right after The Young Bucks supposedly turned down a deal to go to NXT.

Daniel Bryan
vs Low Ki (JAPW submission match) vs KENTA (glory by honor) vs Nigel McGuinness (unified) vs Nigel McGuinness (driven) vs Takeshi Morishima (manhattan mayhem) vs Takeshi Morishima (final battle) w/ Claudio Castagnoli vs Mike Quackenbush & Jigsaw (chikara) vs Chris Hero (PWG guerre sans frontières) vs Naruki Doi (DGUSA untouchable) vs Sheamus (extreme rules 2012) vs CM Punk (over the limit 2012) w/ Kane & Ryback vs The Shield (TLC 2012) vs Seth Rollins (raw 6/10/13) vs John Cena (summerslam 2013) vs Triple H (wrestlemania 30)

Is it possible for the title to be the most important in modern wrestling?
If this was true then why have they been doing basically the exact same stuff every week since 'Mania until Brock came back as ratings rapidly declined to 1997 type levels?
-
Pat O'Connor
There's probably other people who have watched more of him who could recommend more/better stuff but I'd recommend on youtube would be: vs Legs Langevin, vs Dick Murdoch and w/Ken Mantell vs Jumbo Tsuruta & Akihisa Takachio
-
Match Ratings - What's more valid - rating live or re-watch?
I would say the re-watch one is more valid, most wrestling matches are obviously going to be more fun live and you're going to rate the matches better than on tape, but because you watch most stuff on tape that is what your scale is geared towards, if you could see every match you've ever seen on tape live you probably wouldn't be giving the match ****1/2

Shawn Michaels v. Steve Austin
So that's after Shawn's last ever match? You're basically saying he didn't get too nauseating and desperate until that one match he refereed?

Fuck I forgot I had this signature when I posted that, sorry about that.

Dave Meltzer stuff
I think it's more like Bryan Alvarez employs Meltzer than the other way around.
