Matches That Changed Wrestling
I'm truly shocked nobody has mentioned the Hogan, Hall and Nash vs Savage, Sting and Luger match from Bash At The Beach 1996 yet. It was the beginning of the NWO for God's sake ! From this moment until April of 1998, Nitro has beaten Raw each and every week.

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 4
I'm pretty sure there were people at the time who were more interested in a Fujiwara/Hashimoto bout than a Misawa/Kawada one. It had the potential of being the Japanese fingerpoke of doom. Thank you gordy, I'd love to understand Japanese to know what the commentators say.

Greatest Match Ever Project
Why does everybody say All Japan wasn't doing well in late nineties ? Is it because of financial reasons ? As far as I'm concerned, I don't see a huge difference between an All Japan match from 91 and one from 99. A lot of people seem to think the matches went too long and that there were too many headdrops. I don't mind. I like long matches and dangerous moves. i don't care if moves are dangerous for the wrestlers. In fact, I find it exciting when a wrestler does something dangerous for him and his co-workers.

I don't understand the reason why everyone is talking about the match between Bret Hart and Tom Magee. What makes Magee so special and appealing ?

Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard
I agree with Conrad' stance, if someone is nice with me and the people I care, I don't care if he's a dick with others people. As far as the scandal in Germany is concerned, I don't see the problem. If Bradshaw was a face, I understand why it would bother people, a face is not supposed to do nazi salutes. But he was a heel, it makes a humengous difference ! It's a good way for a heel to get heat. Why do people find normal to see nazi salutes in a movie and not in a wrestling show ? Wrestling isn't real, it's a scenario for god's sake ! I find compelling the JBL PPV matches during his title reign. The match with Taker at summerslam 04 is the only one until the last one that sucks. The match with The Undertaker from No Mercy is pretty compelling, the finish is amazing. The Sseries match with Booker T is great. I rate ****1/2 The 4-way between him, Booker T, Eddie Guerrero and The Undertaker from Armageddon. The triple threat between him, Angle and Show from Rumble 05 is solid. The cage match with Big Show from NWO 05 is pretty compelling. Finally, the Wrestlemania match with Cena sucks.

Crockett Appreciation
The nonexistence of an 80's DVDVR Crockett set has always disconcerted me. It's the most mainstream NWA territory for god's sake ! Anyway, I love your idea. I don't know if the matches between Dusty Rhodes and Tully Blanchard are big big or aren't but I enjoyed a few of them. I know some people say Tully was a better Dusty opponent than Flair. I don't remember the dates but the one that struck me the most was from a 1988 Worldwide. If I were you, I'd also glance at the house shows available on tape.

Grilling JR
If I understood properly, he said he was smoking weed with Heenan in 1993. Did I understand properly ? Anyway, I don't picture JR smoking weed.

WWE TV 04/29 - 05/05 Bolsonaro's strategy is worse than Jon Snow's
Young wrestlers having to kissing the asses of the veterans is the side of wrestling I hate the most. Well, it's also the case of many companies.

WWE TV 04/29 - 05/05 Bolsonaro's strategy is worse than Jon Snow's
I agree there are lots of scruffy disheveled-looking guys everywhere but for whatever reason Vince thought a southern accent would improve his character. We often saw caricatured wrestling characters throughout wrestling history. It's useful for making an impact. Harper had already the look of the caricatural southern redneck. A southern accent would have been the icing on the cake. Vince is probably a perfectionist, if a character is not exactly like he wants, he tends to drop it. And I know WWE historically hates an accent that's not American Standard but Harper is an exception, it would have fit the character.

I'm sure people were already talking about Vince losing his mind twenty years ago. It doesn't seem to affect his company anyway.

Sometimes, the accent of a wrestler can be important if he's supposed to talk a lot. I don't find Vince's point of view that strange.

Greatest Match Ever Project
The difference between the number of participants in this project and the number of gwe participants is striking. I don't understand the reason. Do you think it's because writing a wrestler's list is funnier than writing a list of matches or do you think the reason is different ?

The feud stretched well into the latter part of the year but became a little bit less violent (no blood anymore).

WWE became PG in 2008. You can check on the WWE Network. The PPVs from the first part of the year are TV-14 but from the Great American Bash 2008, they are TV-PG. Shawn Michaels once said the reason why WWE became PG in 2008 is because his feud with Chris Jericho from that year was so violent that WWE had to make a change. So the company became PG. For me, Ruthless Agression Era has always been the period between the attitude era and 2008 (2001-2008). And as far as I'm concerned, unlike many people from the board, it's my favorite period from the company. I love the runs of Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, Triple H etc. to death. I think also what's great about this period is that it wasn't as trash as the attitude era nor as asepticized like nowadays. I love bladejob and chair shots. I also much prefer the PPVs theme songs from that era that the ones from nowadays. I also love this period for reasons that I prefer not elaborate on because I don't want to be polemical.

WWE TV 04/15 - 04/21: Superstar Shakeup but the real Shakeup is a country who arrests and beats up its teachers
I agree with you. Roman Reigns deserves to be in the minor brand because he sucks.
