Grimmas

There are two parts to this. The first part is your physical dvds. Are they in cases? Spindles? How do you know where to find things? The second is more about your thoughts on matches. I see guys like Loss and Chad pull out star ratings all the time. Do you have amazing memory skills or some kind of spreadsheet? I am kind of curious as I am trying to get my stuff more in order. I will explain what I do when I get home, because I don't like typing from my phone.

Didn't piratebay's browser fix that issue?

If you are talking about greatest ppvs, you have to mention Money in the Bank 2011. Cena vs. Punk is 5 stars. The two ladder matches were a lot of fun. I remember the women's match not sucking and Big Show vs. Mark Henry being really good as well. Also Randy Orton vs. Christian was awesome. The atmosphere was off the page too.

Kandori vs. Hokuto is always the match I think of.

The question is, who has been on for 15 years? You would have to give everybody one last shot and let people know its their last year next year then. I am for it though. If you did that, and raised the eligibility criteria then the hall of fame would be in amazing shape.

Luger fell off the ballot in 1998. He never really had another big run in a major company after WCW so I don't believe Dave saw a big reason to put him back on the ballot unless a bunch of voters said they wanted to vote for him. Sting fell off that year too but he later joined TNA and was treated as a big star there, so at least the argument was made that added something substantial to his career after the first time he fell off. That at least makes sense. However, I feel like the guys who fell off the ballot the first few years got a raw deal.

Nakamura is the best guy in NJPW. Clearly I would love for him to be in the main event.

I prefer Survivor Series, because the storytelling is a bit better. If you have Bret not breaking on a 5 count, because it's no DQ. Not to mention all the cool leg attacks by Bret. The best is the table spot though. This is Bret at his best incorporating new and innovative spots that are trending in a logically fashion. This leads to the awesome surprise finish. The run ins drag the Royal Rumble match down. I would have to rewatch all 3 to be sure, because I remember the King of the Ring one being pretty awesome too.

I find it really strange that Sting is on the ballot, but Lex Luger is not.

So much I disagree with here. First, the match between Bockwinkel and Larry Z was my second favourite match of the 80's in the AWA. It was amazing and anything but boring. Also, the Rougeaus were masters at getting heat. You may not like them, but boring?

Holy crap, a wrestling match hall of fame! What a fun idea, I love it!

Heenan Family vs. The Warriors from 1989 is the best. Had the best storytelling and clicked on every level. The announcing, the work, etc... Arn & Haku make up the greatest team that never teamed in this match. The ending is perfect.

About the invasion. It didn't need stars it needed competent booking. You can ran an invasion with the guys they brought in if they looked like threats.

1-2-3 Kid & Marty Jannetty vs. The Quebecers (Raw, 1994.1.10) 1-2-3 Kid & Marty Jannetty vs. The Quebecers (MSG, 1994.1.17) So it turns out that Jannetty & The Kid make a great tag team and great foils for The Quebecers. This is the two title changes with the first one being a surprise upset on Raw and the second one with The Quebecers winning the belts back. The Raw match is amazing (*** 3/4) with a long shine sequence at the start, because Kid & Jannetty were underestimated. They even get a pin, but a second ref sees The Quebecer with his leg on the ropes. The Quebecers finally cheap and just destroy the Kid, until a hot tag which leads right to the win. The Macho Man loses his shit and leaves the announcer's table to celebrate. One week later they square off at MSG. It follows the same format with a long shine sequence and an extended FIP, but this time on Jannetty. Martry is really good in this role, but doesn't have quite the sympathy that The Kid has. He does take a hell of a 360 flip on a clothesline though. The extended FIP really made the crowd go insane for the hot tag. Kid does all his awesome kicks, only to get tripped by Johnny Polo on the top rope, stopping his momentum. Leading to The Quebecers using their finish for the win. I liked the Raw tag better, because the story made a little more sense that Kid & Jannetty caught Quebecers off guard. I'd say *** 1/2 for the rematch. A really good pair of matches though and I really wish that they kept The Kid with Jannetty for a little longer. They looked great as a tandem at the Survivor Series too.

A few years ago Tampa Bay & Calgary were in the finals for the Stanley Cup (2004) and I was at the bar watching the game. In the pre game hype and they showed videos of Hogan and Bret Hart to hype up the hockey game. This was in Canada, so that explains some of it, but that was kind of crazy.

Not yet, but I hope to get to it eventually. I am loving watching these matches back.

Barry Horowitz & Reno Riggins are picked by The Quebecers for a title shot, however Riggins has the flu and The Kid fills in for him. The Quebecers remain very confident. Barry & The Kid show great fire at the beginning throwing dropkicks and firing up. The Quebecers have a conference to regroup and this starts a big FIP session on The Kid with their cool double teams. The Kid sells a great beating. So many cool double teams. Jacques finally misses a dive and The Kid gets in a kick. The Kid is really one of the best wrestlers at working in hope spots. Pierre interferes to keep the advantage and it looks like Jacques is out cold. The stretcher comes out to take Jacques away, so it's now a handicap match. A weird format here as the underdog tag team now have the advantage, so it may be even? A tag was made during the commercial break. As we come back Pierre is destroying Horowitz. Still confident he picks up Horiwitz at the two count. Pierre continues and throws Horiwitz into the corner to get The Kid in. The beat down continues on The Kid. Another great hope segment as The Kid hits a few spinning kicks, before missing one and his momentum carries him over the top rope to the floor. Johnny Polo throws The Kid into the ring for the pin. Another really fun match with Barry doing nothing and it being completely built on The Quebecers double teams and The Kid's selling and hope spots. I really enjoyed this one.

Somebody posted Bastion Booger's theme on a loop for 10 hours on youtube. The world is a magically place.

I had never seen this before, but damn was it awesome! It starts with the Kid doing a real fun shine sequence, including his dropkick after being thrown in the air. The real fun is Blake's killing of the Kid using a suplex into the turnbuckle, a gorilla press to the floor and an Oklahoma Stampede. He does a wicked strut too. The Kid is one of the best at doing hope spots. He is so sympathetic when working as the underdog babyface. It's a real treat to watch. The Kid starts his comeback when Blake misses a dive to the floor. The Kid does his own dive to the floor, a somersault from the top turnbuckle which just looks devastating. The Kid then wins with a flying legdrop. As good as a sub 8 minute TV match with no storyline as you'll see.

I watched the bolded, plus select, matches from 2000 and here is my top 5: 1. Kawada & Fuchi vs Nagata & Iizuka, New Japan December 14th 2. Sasaki vs Kawada, New Japan October 9th 3. Kobashi vs Takayama, All Japan May 26th 4. Kawada vs Tenryu, All Japan October 28th 5. Ishikawa vs Murakami, Battlarts November 26th That tag match is amazing and is an all-time classic. I hadn't seen it since it happened, so it was a real treat to rediscover.

That PPV match had me very emotionally into the Rhodes family winning. I was at the theater with a friend and I was almost yelling at the screen when the Shield was cheating. Same with the tag match from Raw. So yeah, I can still be emotionally connected even at 32 years old, it just depends on the wrestler and their current storyline.

How did Bockwinkel vs. Larry fall to 32? I had it number 2 and it blew my mind.

Here is a question: which tag match was the better, the one from Battleground or from Raw? They were both really awesome for different reasons. I find it really hard to pick between the two.
