This is for Daniel Bryan, the other crowd chanting argument has been moved to the pro wrestling section.

Crowd Chants
I don't have a problem with the chants. They are just a symptom of people watching to be entertained as opposed to caring about who wins or loses. Whether wrestling being viewed as a form of entertainment instead of a contest is good or bad is a different argument. Obviously I prefer it as a contest where it matters who wins and who loses, but is that better or worse? This whole argument should be moved, I would think. EDIT: So, I moved it. Continue arguing crowd chants here.

WWE Network... It's Here
The thing about the WWF's Light Heavyweight division is that it could had been awesome. You had Taka to build around. Tajiri and Super Crazy came in for one shots and could had been great. In 98 they brought in Pantera, Mr. Aguila, Dick Togo, Sho Funaki & Men's Teioh. Throwing all those guys together with Brian Christopher and Scott Taylor and you could have had a great division. Not to mention continuing the AAA deal from January 97 with Hector Garza and company. The tools were there. Sign a deal with AAA and M-Pro and they are set. Imagine how over Gran Naniwa would had been?

I've been an unlegal subscriber since day 2.

What should I watch?
-
The Shield
They are nominated as a six man, so yeah the six mans count. I would say Reigns/Rollins would have to be nominated separately for their tag run to count.
-
The Shield
I am starting to think The Shield have a chance to sneak into the top 25. Sure there run is about a year and a half, but what a run it was. Just great match after great match. They have the cool factor too. The Wyatt's match was the topper and if they get on my list, that would be the tipping match.
-
Badd Company/Orient Express
They were disappointing in the AWA. They were disappointing in ECW. There WWF run is not enough, no matter how great the Rockers match was and how cool Pat Tanaka is.
-
Chris Masters
Hero-Masters seems like a dream match. As long as Masters was the face. That is on a much watch list.
-
El Satanico
It's great. Once I free up some more time I will watch everything posted, since Satanico is someone who has a shot at number one.

The Biggest PPV Match Of All Time That Will (probably) Never Happen
Austin has said that he's done doing special guest referee stuff. But maybe he'd do it if it were the Main. I think we see Austin WRESTLE at 31 or 32. He's said himself that he's training for it, and I think he got the itch back at 30. Austin has actually said numerous times on his show that he was misquoted. He was talking about getting back into shape about something else and people took it the wrong way. He actually said he was training for a comeback to Gold's Gym, because he didn't want to work out there while out of shape. You know, I knew I shouldn't have listened to dirtsheets that wrote the stories literally a month after the Podcast where he actually said it (or didn't say it..) Apologies. I assume Meltzer didn't write this. Why would anyone listen to any other news source for wrestling?

Current WWE
I thought I had imagined this, too. Then I Googled it and once I saw the pics it all came rushing back to me. One of two post 99 WCW ppvs I watched live. That and the Bash at the Beach 2000. All were shitty. The Bagwell on the pole wasn't even the most offensive thing on the show. That show including the Goldberg/Nash/Steiner 3-Way match where Goldberg was unprofessional because he didn't go up for the jackknife (announcers words) and Steiner & Nash were great because they had to improvise the rest of the match. That is by far the worst booking I have ever seen in my life.

Mike Rotunda
Mike Rotundo is essential an under pushed Randy Orton from today. Neither of them will find my list and I have seen a fair amount of them.

Brian Pillman
El Samurai is the guy I think of that is an awesome flyer, but is so awkward at it. To me, it makes it feel more dangerous. I don't get that impression of danger from Pillman though. Pillman was very adaptable though. Great as the underdog babyface in the 80's, then as a great heel tag wrestler in the early 90's to being an awesome super worker in the mid 90's before the car wreck. I hope to find room for him on my list somewhere.

Keeping the integrity of the list - a case against strategic voting.
I was thinking a top 100, with the rest listed with votes at the end. Kind of like, this top 100 is important and here is the rest and this is somewhat interesting as well. We've talked. We'll see about that one.

Hiroshi Tanahashi
When the best match I saw from him (I watched all the pimped ones) was the Invasion Attack match at 4 and 1/4, then it makes sense. Also, he was like 97 on the WKO poll, so I'm not alone. To me, the matches just seem soulless. It's like they are done on a video game. Not to say he doesn't have some great matches though, but his overall style of match leaves a lot to be desired from me.

The Nomination Thread for Tag Teams
Titans is their show where they reviewed the matches. Whether you do a podcast or written review of a match, it's the same to me. Also finding other written reviews or podcasts from this site counts.

The Nomination Thread for Tag Teams
I thought you needed three match reviews (and I took that to mean three different matches reviewed) to be nominated? Titans count.
