Proposal for 2018: Match Review Trades
Thanks Victator, Brad Armstrong vs Jushin Liger was a match I never saw before, but it was essentially the perfect babyface TV match. Some good matwork for the first half that lead to an exciting finishing stretch with dives and quick pin attempts. Nobody lost their cool, just having a match to try to win. Really fun contest!

Following the Business vs Following the Product?
This board may be an exception, where we really value footage and dissect, but there seem's to be a lot of people who care more about the business end of things. I've completely given up on back stage shenanigans, stock prices, tv ratings, all of that. Do I like the product or not, determines what I watch. Has there been a shift towards more business caring than product caring? Has Metlzer influenced this change? Am I out to lunch thinking this is happening at all?

Harley Race vs. Rick Martel (2/3 Falls) (1/12/80)
I haven't watched a lot of Portland, but HUGE Rick Martel fan and I don't really like Race too much. Race, to me, is 70s/80s Kurt Angle. Big spots for sake of big spots. Let's brainbuster people pon the floor as a transition spot? Fall 1) With that said, Harley not on offense is a joy to watch and his bumping for Martel is pretty awesome early on. The first fall is kind of odd, as Martel essentially controls it mostly with an armbar. Harley would get some hope spots and there would be some nice flurries, but we'd go right back to Martel grinding on Race's arm. Race gains control and works over Martel's neck, including a piledriver. Brainbuster finishes it off. Long fall, about 15 minutes. Fall 2) Martel back on top in this fall. Martel gets even, hitting his own piledriver, but Race gets the foot on the rope. Martel's fire is the fucking best in wrestling history. HIm working over Race in the corner is a thing of beauty. Another beautiful Martel moment, countering the suplex into the sleeperhold to win the second fall.They do the old school, you have to wake up the guy after putting him to sleep. Martel refuses, because he wants to win, but is forced. I never know what to think of this having to wake the guy up, like wouldn't they be dead? Fall 3) Early sleeper, but they roll to the floor. Harley goes for the stupid piledriver on the floor, but luckily it was countered. This third fall is pretty quick paced. Time runs out though and we get a draw. There was a definite sense of build here and a lot of good stuff. Martel is the BEST. Kind of an odd structure though with him dominating the first 15 minutes. I'll go *** 1/2. A good way to start the set.

Who Booked This? The Podcast Thread
I LOVE the Canadian Rules Hardcore match. I watched it sometime this year and it still holds up (in my view anyways). Heels being heels and ensuring the hometown guy wins because of obscure pro wrestling rules. Much like the Duchess of Queensbury match in WWE. I love it! You better not add this to the show Steven!! Just because most of the stuff we watch for the show sucks, doesn't mean it all has to suck!

https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/wbt006 Disclaimer: The Nasty Boys vs Public Enemy "Double Dog Collar" match episode was lost due to the fun of Skype. Our apologies. Instead you get War Games 2000: Russo's Revenge. What exactly was Russo's plan and how did he gain revenge? How did they fix "War Games" and make it even better? What is the point of teams in this match? Vince Russo finally appears on Who Booked This and he gets the expected response.

Proposal for 2018: Match Review Trades
I kind of expected a spot fest here, but this was a lot more of a match here with a decent story that built to a good finish. Of course both had their high flying moves that looked spectacular, but Ricochet being so arrogant and Sydal kind of putting him in his place was a fun bit. Everything hit and looked impactful. This is one of those that I am glad I watched it, but would probably never go out of my way to see. Oh, the crowd was really into it too, which was great. If you like these two guys you SHOULD watch this. If you don't really care for these two or their style, like me, it's still an ejoyable match to watch and you'll get something out of it. Thanks.

What do you consider to be your promotion
ECW may be my company too, even though I only followed it along live in 1999. Going back though, it's just so much fun.

What do you consider to be your promotion
WWF was my promotion from when I started watching in 88. I kind of hate them recently, so... I don't know. If NXT can count as a promotion, then them?

Checking this Toronto show out now. Can't believe how into the Knife Pervert Toronto was. Match with him and Martinez was surprisingly blah, given that they worked pretty well together last year. Was actually late and only arrived right before Beer City Bruiser and Naito.
