Footage that Exists
The mask match between Black Cat and Mascara Sagrada that aired in 94 being impossible to find now is wild. I think Ron Rivera was selling it at one point, so it's weird that no one else has it.

Footage that Exists
I think there is a good chance he has the 93 matches. I know on twitter he just posted that he received a recent batch of converted tapes, so it will be interesting to see what new turns up over the next few weeks. The XEQ footage Roy has been uploading has been incredible. Feels like he has been uploading footage that Lynch was missing on a weekly basis.

Footage that Exists
There is a hair match between Satanico and Emilio Charles that aired in 98 that you can find a write up of on Google groups that is impossible to find. There is that Cota/Dragon and Felino/Dragon title match from 93 that aired that is no longer in circulation.

Mocho Cota
His short AAA run in 93 is worth watching as his back isn't fucked yet and watching him massacre Latin Lover is endlessly entertaining. One thing worth mentioning is the Cota of 93/94 is a lot different than the Cota of 95/96. Assume this is because of the back injury and being moved down the card.

Good matches "ruined" by their endings
The hair match between Remo Banda and Comando Ruso is pretty great until the ref stoppage at the end.

I would assume the larger problem people have with JVK might be from his activity outside of PWO.

Consensus Greatest Lucha Trios Ever?
The Atlantis/Mr. Niebla/Negro Casas vs Black Warrior/Blue Panther/Hijo Del Santo match from 4/24/98 would be one to consider.

There was a recent reprint of Friday Night in the Coliseum that turned out pretty well.

California legislature passes AB5 gig-work bill, which could turn contractors into employees
This is a very good summary of what an asshole Jerryvonkramer is. But because his posts about professional wrestling are well written, he gets a pass from certain individuals.

Mania Week Insanity 2019
I guess that means you watched that singles match Dandy had with Salvaje in Guadalajara then?

Out of print, but Friday Night in the Coliseum by Geoff Winningham is worth tracking down. It's the wrestling equivalent of The Americans by Robert Frank.

Was very surreal to hear Tony Khan mention John McAdam in his interview with Sean Waltman.

Old news, but that Azealia Banks story about Paul Heyman was a nice reminder of what a sleazy individual he is.

[2000-07-21-CMLL] Dr Wagner Jr & Ultimo Guerrero & Rey Bucanero vs Rayo de Jalisco Jr & Atlantis & Hijo del Lizmark
Guessing it didn't make the set, but the Rayo/Wagner singles match is out there.

[1998-04-21-CMLL] Felino vs Karloff Lagarde Jr
For those interested in this match, I would recommend comparing it to their trios match from March 6th to see what a motivated Felino could do with Lagarde. Nothing earth shattering, but Felino is much more giving in it and goes out of his way to establish Lagarde as a threat who is capable of grounding him at will.

Looking for MDA suggestions
I don't know, seems like some of the more active posters of the past have just simply moved on to Twitter as their chosen platform for their wrestling discussion needs.

Dave Meltzer stuff
What was Kurt Brown's opinion of Negro Casas at the time? He had been watching him since the eighties, so was he someone who thought Casas was guilty of phoning it in?
