WWE Network... It's Here
You're right, of course, but I find the juxtaposition between your name and your statement funny.

I'm a huge fan of Bonema, but I sort of agree with Dave that he really would have only worked in Portland. There was such a cozy, familiar, local feel to Portland between the sponsors who you knew as well as the wrestlers and Sandy Barr's flea market.

It does hurt when you're using that as a crutch, instead of elevating other people into that spot. That's a valid point. It's not that there isn't an upside to Show in that position, but it's probably less than the upside to putting someone else there.

I don't disagree with you. I just don't think there's anyone more reviled than Dunn except for Russo when it comes to wrestling fandom, which probably makes him an argument that would be more of a headache than it's worth for Dave to make.

An ECW Pitbull (dogface gremlin?) puppy dies every time Steve Austin says something positive about Kevin Dunn.

Martin, Once we hit January or so, let's do a mini joshi project or something.

I have so much Stan Hansen to watch.

How about Kevin Kelly then?

Things Wrestlers Value that we don't
Is it the entire point of this site that someone can argue exactly that and if they do it well enough, they will be listened to and respected even if they don't sway you.

I'm mostly kidding. I'll obviously watch whatever I feel like I need to and fill in holes. That said I will probably go to certain people for advice on certain areas because even with a few years leadtime I have to be smart with my time.

I'll watch any joshi Chad thinks I should watch. You do the legwork. I trust your opinions.

Has anyone ever written about Blue Panther as a draw?

Do people think that either Sting or Taker would be willing to do the job in a match between them? Sting's the sort of guy that i think would do business, but for his "One Big WWE Match," it seems sort of weird to bring him in to lose.

I still see Cena winning at NoC so I'll chip in on that sort of thing after we see if Brock is even in the title picture.

Routines/Signature Exchanges
Wrestling is magic. But I sure wish Negro Casas would strip falling for Rush's direction change clothesline. One of the reasons I'm so high on Christian is that he would constantly evolve his stuff in rematches and what not.

It doesn't hurt that he's maybe the easiest guy in the history of wrestling to heat back up and be instantly credible with a huge chunk of the audience and he's also one of the best wrestlers on the roster.

WWE Network... It's Here
I can't imagine they will do an episode on cruiser weights. That seems too openly celebratory of an aspect of something WCW did better than WWE without stealing from them somehow, as well as something they don't value now. I think a Gang Warz one would be more likely.

I think if they put Show with HHH and not Orton it would have worked. He was crazy over for a few weeks.

Is it more of a case of Steamboat/Youngblood making sense too?
-

They popped Mid-South too, no? That's not just a myth right?
-
Things Wrestlers Value that we don't
I think we need a note to compare Steamboat/Savage and Regsl's greatest hits. I'm not discarding the possibility out of hand.

Dusty is excellent at controlling crowds through his ring work. Also, can I only watch stuff from japan that people actively think I will like?
