Killer Khan
He's on my tentative list. He may drop off, but if I had to submit today he would make it. He'll be in the 90s, though. Too many all time great matches and performances to dismiss. He's sort of like a mini-Sgt Slaughter in terms of being a greatest hits candidate. But Khan is a ten-track single disc and Slaughter is a double-disc duluxe set with a couple of hidden gem album tracks out there too. Seems fair. Slaughter is on my list and higher.

Where the Big Boys Play #81 - Top 100 Greatest Wrestlers Ever Special, Part 1: 100-41
This show convinced me to rank some guys that I was throwing out, because they were still good today. Guys like Hero, Low Ki, Cersaro, Sami Zayn all now have a shot at my list. Thanks Parv and Chad, you just made this harder.

WWE Roadblock
I still can't believe they have someone do an anit-Canadian promo and then they bring out the All-American Jack Swagger to defend Canada's honour.

Eddie Guerrero
I've been thinking that Eddie may do insanely well for me. In 94, 97 and 05 he had an all-time great heel run. In 04 had was all-time great babyface. 94, 97, 04 he had matches that were top 50 all-time. He could do great brawls, great technical matches and great spot fests. He really is one of the most complete wrestlers of all-time.

I can't believe they put Swagger in that position.

Goldust wins, Ascension attacks and Truth makes the save. Goldust half heartily doing the what's up to Truths song is funny.

WWE Roadblock
Viktor vs truth is starting now, so probably a dark match. Edit: it's goldust not truth

Cole, Saxton and jbl will call this.

Behind hard cam. Damn sexual chocolate was over. Huge let's go chocolate chants. He even did a little dance.

WWE Roadblock
Dark match is Mark Henry squashing Randy Reign

WWE Roadblock
New Day or Brock will be biggest babyfaces, based in pre show chants.
-
WWE Roadblock
My prediction is that Bray Wyatt gets the babyface reaction against Brock. No basis for this, just a wild prediction.

It's in Ricoh, not gardens. Gardens has been changed and is too small now.

What did you learn about your fandom from GWE?
Logic as it not doing things that don't make sense and take me out of things.
-
What did you learn about your fandom from GWE?
I don't care what people defend. Obviously different promotions have different logic.

What did you learn about your fandom from GWE?
Selling, logical progression of moves, moving to get into position for your opponent to hit a move on you, etc.... If I watch a wrestler and don't think to myself that "this doesn't make sense" or "why would he do that" then they are logical. How far does logical go though? Shouldn't most offensive moves actually finish someone? Where each promotion can essentially establish the rules of their own universe it would seem to take away quite a bit to only buy what's logical. Shouldn't every wrestler roll away from an opponent coming off the top? Once there are certain standards or "laws" with consequences then it would seem at that point we can react to occurrences in the ring that prove consistent or not. Sometimes those inconsistencies make for tremendous moments, such as kicking out of something near the finish that has previously been the death knell, or can be problematic where it happens too early. It just seems if we're really being logical then every match should end pretty quickly and just about everything a wrestler does is illogical. Once he's taken any sustained punishment, how is he alive, much less able to mount a fiery comeback? Enjoy it! It doesn't have to be MMA, it just has to make sense within the context of wrestling. An irish whip is completely fine.

"Political Hit"
Shane always wanted his own thing to run. He had the ECW idea, worlwide idea. He wanted to purchase Pride, he wanted to purchase Strikeforce. Original wwf.com was his, he wanted to do streaming stuff earlier.

A Miz and Jericho team would be awesome.

To me working smart means doing logical things in the ring.

What did you learn about your fandom from GWE?
One thing I figured out about myself is that I value smarts over most skills in wrestling. The smarter the worker the higher the praise from me. The more stupid things a worker does, the more down I am on him. What did you learn about yourself during GWE?
