7 for 7: A project within a project
2000's Japan: Kawadda & Fuchi vs Nagata & Iizuka (12.14.2000) One of my favourite matches of the 2000's.

[SPLIT TOPIC] Today's wrestling vs wrestling from the past (From Lawler GWE thread)
There hall of fame coverage I agree with, their podcast? Seriously? I love the show and listen to it the moment I see it has arrived. However, every podcast Joe calls everyone who disagrees with him either a liar or an idiot. That is the furthest thing from positive and inclusive that I can think of.

[SPLIT TOPIC] Today's wrestling vs wrestling from the past (From Lawler GWE thread)
Not close minded I have watched a lot of Jimmy's work over the years and most likely more of his recent work than anyone here. It isn't perceived though it is an actuality. The Devitt experience along with other stuff leads me to believe that it would be a pretty pointless exercise due to the biases and close mindedness of some prominent posters. Not interested in another hounding due to be posting a well heeled or largely held opinion outside of the general PWO bubble either. This was not a question of how close minded Rovert is? You made a generalization about the DVDVR board as a whole and lumped this one into it by association. Have you watched more Jimmy Jacobs matches more than me this year? Good possibility, although I have seen all of his ROH output. Saying fairly definitively you have watched more is a close minded, attitudinal stance. Beyond those confines, stating your personal habits against an statement you started against an entire community is not a verifiable defense. All I was bringing to your attention was that you lambast one choice as being bizarre and off the beaten path and then say the same source is closeminded two paragraphs later. Which is it? Can't it be both with Jimmy Jacobs being a rare exception? I like PWO a lot and I think Greatest Wrestler Ever is good idea as it is a bit of fun and stimulates discussion on a message board. But it will be hardly held as definitive (relatively) given the points I and others have already made. It won't be the farce the WKO is but the scope in terms of the range of Wrestlers will be far more narrower than it should be. With the winner derived from an already pre-approved list of PWO favorites. We are asking for people with different views to come in and nominate and discuss. I will be reaching out to make sure nominees aren't missed. The people who should have a ballot will get one as well, whether they partake or not. If you feel someone should be nominated, nominate them. Please, this project needs other views. It's not a think tank project, nor is it a cherished memories project. It's a re-evaluation project.

2014 Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame thread
Villano III over Hamada, based on the fact that a vote for Villano is not a negative (since you've already entered the lucha category), while a vote for Hamada is a no to Taue & Akiyama.

No argument annoys me more than stating that this is the popular belief and if you disagree with it you are stupid. I don't care what everybody else thinks, I care what I see with my own eyes or what someone else can prove to me. Back up your shit and we can have a discussion.

Yes, Parv reviewing Chikara is the best idea ever!

What is Workrate? Does Workrate Matter?
I'm going to make my case for Don Muraco being in the top 100 at some point. I will be prepared for Will and company. What I don't get about this is why would doing a bunch of stuff be the most important thing of a match. Does Michael Bay make the greatest movies?
