Your best 10 match card.
Arn for Tully Very correct. I don't know what I was thinking.

Your best 10 match card.
Using everything over history, this can get very interesting. I will go with my dream card, so others may hate this. M-Pro 10 Man Tag, These Days '96 Jushin Liger vs. Shinjiro Ohtani, NJPW 3/17/96 Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio Jr., Halloween Havoc '97 Akira Hokuto vs. Kandori, Dream Slam 2 LA Park vs. El Hijo del Santo, the bloodbath match Bret vs. Austin, Survivor Series '96 CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar, Summerslam 2013 Jerry Lawler vs. Bill Dundee, the one where Lawler falls down the stairs Ultimate Warrior & Jim Neidhart & Rockers vs. Andre the Giant & Bobby Heenan & Haku & Tully Blanchard, Survivor Series '89 Randy Savage vs. Ric Flair, WM8 There would be a lot of blood on the show. I wanted Andre-Hansen, but wanted the Survivor Series match too, so that was difficult.

Randy Savage
When I was 11, I was at a super point as a fan. At that point I started taping matches off tv. Which was new to me, because all I had on tape before was the SNME's my dad taped for me, because I couldn't stay up. However, I only had the show until the next one, because my dad used one tape. Anyway, I remember I taped all the matches of one singles guy and one tag team. The singles guy was Savage (this was late 91). The tag team was High Energy (or New Foundation, I forget). I was a huge mark for Savage as a kid and always has been. The first ppv show I had to see the moment it came out on video was WM5, to see Savage-Hogan. I think WM4 was the first ppv that happened from when I starting watching and I love that show to this day thanks to Savage. He is in my personal top 3, easily.

Too much wrestling
PS3's are great, because you can watch youtube on them on your tv. Also, you can stream downloaded videos onto them.

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
Has anybody seen this? Just started watching this channel and its great and I came across this:

Favorite "WTF" Wrestler / Tag Teams
I had a soft spot for Adam Bomb too.
-
Money in the Bank 2013
I loved Henry-Cena. My favourite ppv match this year, easily. It was really basic, but those two were insanely great at playing their roles. The story was really good and I can't find one thing to complain about in it.
-
Goldberg
Brock came in in April one year and went undefeated beating RVD, Hogan and both Hardy's and then won the title from The Rock in August. That's about as heavily pushed as you can get from the start.
-
Favorite "WTF" Wrestler / Tag Teams
That reminds me that I thought Wrath and Glacier was the best ever! Well not really, but I did really like their stuff in 97. That is until Ernest Miller debuted.

Current WWE
Middle age is 40, since male life expectancy in Canada is 80. So, yeah, Christian is middle aged.

Is NJPW the best puro product currently?
Sean Liska sums it up pretty well. I haven't really watched puro in years, just bits and pieces. With NJPW getting all this hype the last few years, I started to watch the Dominion show right after it happened. Half way through, I was enjoying it so much that I went back to February's ppv and watched all the main shows since. What I like about NJPW is that it varies so much. You have flyers, brawlers, technical, and cheating heels. This kind of format makes for the best wrestling product and it really helps. I'm enjoying it almost as much as WWE this year. I think incorporating American style wrestling into NJPW has been a huge success. Prince Devitt turning heel and forming his Bullet Club stable was awesome to watch. His matches with all the interference and cheating are so much more fun to watch then his super junior stuff. You can only take so much it's all about sportsmanship in wrestling and it's nice to see the cheater. Plus his push has been so well booked. That is another thing, the booking is well done. So straightforward and logical. The way title contenders are picked seems less helter skelter and makes a lot more sense. You can almost believe their is some championship committee watching the shows and picking the contenders based on wins and loses. Not to mention the tag division, which is a lot of fun. They have brought him some CMLL guys which adds another flavour. As for great matches, I will put up Okada-Tanahashi from Invasion Attack and Goto-Shibayata from Dominion with any other match this year. To sum things up, I don't know if NJPW is the best puro promotion (because I've only seen NJPW), but it is definitely worth checking out. Especially if you avoided puro in the past because of how far away it is from American wrestling.

Your top 5 Tag Teams of all time!
My favourite will be not very popular, but: Demoliton Fabulous Rougeau Brothers Kawada & Taue Arn & Ole Anderson Samoan Swat Team or Islanders (I can`t decide) Rock `n` Roll, Strike Force and Jeri-Show are also teams I considered.

Need match suggestion help
Vader vs. Inoki from 96 One of those Awesome-Tanaka matches, maybe? The Heat Wave one stands out to me. An El Samurai J-Crown Title match from his run. They were all crazy and fun and short. I second the Hansen-Andre match. There was that great Blue Panther-Negro Casas sub 8 minute match last year that ruled. Old man Tenryu! Don't have a particular match in mind. Hashimoto-Tenryu from G1 1998. Finlay-Tajiri from SMASH would be a good addition.

Payback 2013
I was kind of uncomfortable with the whole story of that match.

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
Has anybody seen the PWS Super Show 2013. I have it ready to watch and it looks really interesting, however I haven't heard much hype for it. It has some really interesting looking stuff. Like: Kevin Steen vs. Dan Maff Elijah Burke vs. John MOrrison Rock 'n' Roll Express vs. Briscoe Brothers Kevin Matthews vs. Colt Cabana Vader vs. AC Gamble Heavenly Bodies & Tom Pritchard vs. Rock 'n' Roll Express & Big O John Morrison vs. Jushin Liger New Jack vs. Necro Butcher (New Jack's Retirement Match)

Big Bossman vs. Haku
I think they are both similar so its really difficult for me. They were both bodyguards, tag team wrestlers, monsters, slimed down big guys and gaijins in Japan. The thing I find most similar is that they always looked really good in matches, but the amount of great matches was low. They may be two of the greatest wrestlers who didn't have many great matches ever. I'm watching most of Boss Man's matches chronologically right now, so I would go with Boss Man at the moment. However, if I did the same for Meng it may change.

Dave Meltzer stuff
Where is Goldberg on this list?
-
Terrible gimmick, great match
The Iron Man match often produces shitty matches, however the Steamboat-Rude one is one amazing match!

The Boss, Man is he Big
I've been watching a lot of Bossman lately. Actually I am kind of OCD and have been watching his stuff in chronological order from his WWF debut. I am up to his Hogan matches. There is one match I would like to mention that I haven't seen mentioned. It's against Koko B. Ware at MSG from October 24th, 1988. We all know Koko is really great against monsters, but this may had been the best one I saw yet. It's a lot of Bossman destroying Koko with his cool varied offence and Koko getting in a few furies of hope spots. The finish is what really stands out. Bossman does the coolest looking body slam I have seen in the history of wrestling and then goes for a big splash, which Koko moves out of the way and gets a lot of punches and stuff in, then he goes for a cross body block which gets countered into the Bossman slam for the win. Very cool finish, I thought.

Big Bossman vs. Haku
You are right, 3 discs is not enough for either man.
-
Big Bossman vs. Haku
I was thinking of these two wrestlers and comparing their careers recently and started to wonder which guy people thought was better. Both had really fun matches in long WWF and WCW careers. Both also had Japan runs and a good tag team run (Twin Towers and Faces of Fear). What is interesting is that both guys are really good in the ring, but don't have an abundance of great matches, more great performances. Is there an argument for either guy?

Matches You Must See Before You Die
I'm 32. I think the 10/10/96 M-Pro ten man tag should be on a such a list. Such an insane spectacle that has been copied so many times since.
