I want to be one of the first to restart this years "Dusty Bashing" season. Let me begin by saying that the Windham turn was an excellent bit of booking. However, after initiating what could be one of the years best angles, we get an NWA syndicated show one week later setting up an angle between Lex Luger & Barry Windham against The Sheepherders. Can you imagine the audience that tuned into the syndicated show the next week hoping to see some follow up stuff on the turn, only to see Barry and Lex together brawling with the Sheeps? Then, this past weekends syndicated package made no mention of the turn until very, very late and then only treated it like it was some "late breaking story", and had no commentary. This only strengthens Titan's grip on the top rung because everyone knows if any angle is set up there, the very next show will at least touch on the angle and certainly will not revert back to pre-angle tapes featuring those involved in the angle (ie Jesse's complaints about censorship following the holding up of the WWF title. We all know why he couldnt talk about it as it hadn't happened yet, but they covered their ass and the fans fell for the whole thing or when they do voice-over commentary in the studio after the TV taping when a big angle is set up for between taping time and air time). I hate to go on a tirade about this point, but it pisses me off in a big way.

After seeing that Martin Karadagian got elected this year, it made me think more than ever that British Wrestling is completely neglected in the Hall. Bert Assirati is the only person in based on his work in the UK, whilst Dynamite and Robinson are in due to their work in US and Japan, and Finlay was only added to the ballot due to his work in WWE from the past few years.

I dont know enough to make a case to Meltzer, but I wish someone who did could plead the likes of McManus, Pallo, Breaks, Saint, Rocco etc. Whilst I wouldnt expect all to get in, I would hope that a few would.
