November 27, 201311 yr comment_5574428 I never got into Tommy Rich or Eddie Gilbert, they simply never did anything for me. It may have been due to being introduced to them as JTTS with NWA/WCW but when I watch their other stuff I am always more impressed with someone else in their angles. Watts, Lawler, Idol, Buzz, but never Wildfire or Hot Stuff.
November 29, 201311 yr comment_5574581 I'm not there yet, and I've got lots more to view. But right now I'm pretty close to fucking hating Ultimo Dragon, and at the very least I'm fairly sure he had no clue how to put together a match himself. I can take or leave Toryumon/T2P/Dragon's Gate and all that, but from what I've seen that detail seems to have seeped into his students in a major way. Dragon's matches on the Yearbooks are never about, "What's he going to do this time?" It always seems to be, "How is Liger, Casas, Eddy, or whoever going to drag something decent out of this guy?"
November 29, 201311 yr comment_5574582 I think Kanyon was praised for having a variety of moves, but I honestly don't remember if he ever actually did. I also can't think of any great Kanyon matches. I did enjoy the Jersey Triad stuff with DDP and Bam Bam. He was a solid hand at a time of huge inconsistency in WCW. All the Kanyon Cutter stuff was great television, where he'd run in out of nowhere dropping random people, trolling DDP, it was great. He had solid matches with Mike Awesome, DDP and a host of others in 2000. Nobody thinks he was Bret Hart, but he was a solid hand.
