John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels – WM 23 6. HHH vs. Chris Benoit vs. Shawn Michaels – WM 20 7. The Rock vs. HHH, Iron Man Match – Judgment Day 2000 8. Kurt Angle vs. Undertaker – No Way Out 2006 9. Dudleys vs. Hardys vs. Edge & Christian, TLC II – WM 17 10. Haas & Benjamin vs. Mysterio & Kidman – Vengeance 2003 I might catch some flack for throwing that last tag match in the list, but I love that match to death. Just about every move in it was executed near perfectly, it had a hot crowd and great finish. I actually prefer it to any of the tag matches from the SD Six series. Austin-Rock from WM 17 gets my #1 vote since it was basically the pinnacle of the attitude era and featured everything that I love in a big match: hot crowd, drama, intensity, great action from bell to bell. Some people fault the finish for going on too long, but it's the complete opposite for me. It's pretty rare that you ever see any wrestlers just completely destroy someone else with a chair like that, and it just adds to Austin's desperate state. Same goes for the McMahon alliance. It's just a shame the latter didn't work out very well in the long run. FWIW, a few matches that I considered but didn't put in the top 10: Cena vs. Umaga, LMS from Royal Rumble 2007 HBK vs. Benjamin from Raw, May 2005 Lesnar vs. Undertaker, HIAC from No Mercy 2002 Edge & Mysterio vs. Angle & Benoit from No Mercy 2002 I remember the Austin vs. Benoit matches from TV in 2001 being amazing, but I haven't seen either since the initial airings, so I couldn't really consider them.

I was last row of the floor section next to the aisle, furthest away from the railing at No Mercy 04. It really wasn't that bad, actually. It did involve a lot of standing of course, but there weren't any signs in the way all night or anything. At Survivor Series this year, I have row 2 on the floor in the aisle section next to the camera side. I'm either going to be seated very close to the railing or very far, depending on how the seat numbers are organized. So Venk, are you on camera side for the Rumble?

Al, if you want Mel, I do have a backup pick, so it's up to you.

I didn't notice my PM until late tonight, so I just went ahead and picked, conveniently after your time anyway. BUT, by the looks of it, CanadianGuitarist accidentally PM'd me instead of you.

Um, I'd like to hear from Sideshow Mel... I'm surprised he wasn't taken yet. He taught us to never use a bone in attempting to get gum out of our hair.

Christian teaming up with Edge can work if they're treated like Rated RKO, as opposed to just the regular old team of E&C.

The opener with Team Flair vs. Team Piper is one of my favorite SS tags ever. It's just a shame that it has such a lame ending. Personally, I would have chopped 10 minutes off of the Rockers & Bushwhackers vs. Nastys & Beverlys and given it to the opener. That, or just get rid of Savage and Jake's interviews. Despite the rest of the card being pretty bad, I actually don't mind this show. I am a mark for the old Survivor Series shows, though.

Man, when Claudette and Dutch started wondering where Vic was in the park, I suddenly realized Ronnie was going to be there instead. The second he actually showed up, I just said "Oh shit" out loud. Obviously it seems like Vic and Ronnie will be going down by the end, but you have to hand it to Shawn Ryan... With the ICE stuff, Vic talking about getting immunity, and now Aceveda apparently seems content with helping Vic in the end if it means he gets some credit for the cartel bust. There's just so many different ways it can end.

WWE.com announced a Survivor Series tag... Team HBK HBK, Rey Mysterio, Great Khali, & Cryme Tyme vs. Team JBL JBL, Kane, MVP, John Morrison, & Miz Sounds good to me, although there has to be one with Batista & Orton as captains, I assume.

I remember really liking the Burke/Punk 2/3 Falls match on ECW TV the night after the Benoit murders.

I wasn't aware of the Cage surname prior to WWE, so I hope WWE decides to keep it. I would personally like to see him return to Raw so he can finally have a proper feud with Cena. Smackdown might be in need of him more, but I really want that Cena feud that was teased in 2005, damnit.

In the summers of the mid-90's, I occasionally got caught into Days of Our Lives since my mother, grandmother, and aunts all watched it. All you need to know about Days of Our Lives is that Stefano is the most evil man alive. Except for the time when the girl he always tries to kidnap gets possessed by the devil, then he doesn't seem so bad.

This would be the start of the mass TNA Exodus I suppose. I've always liked Christian, so I'm thrilled to hear he'll likely be coming back. I'd assume that he'd get a Jericho run: Return in a semi-big angle and slowly fade into the upper midcard/lower main event scene. Now, if he actually does come back, does he keep the Cage name? I know most people always thought the lack of a last name in WWE "hurt" him, but I don't know if WWE would want him to keep it since it's a TNA creation.

Since he's been reduced to jobber for the past two years or so, I hardly care about Kenny. I did love his run as leader of the Spirit Squad despite the gimmick. I figured he would have definitely been moving onto better things eventually when he got to main event Raw against Cena and when he stole the sledgehammer from HHH, but whatever. There were times I honestly forgot he was even on the roster recently. Elijah gone does suck, though. I don't understand why they couldn't just add him to the ECW roster that consists of like 10 guys.

My next pick... Disco Stu Sees "Disco Stu(d)" jacket Friend: "Stu, you should buy this." Stu: "Disco Stu doesn't advertise."

As soon as I entered the thread tonight, I asked myself: Where's Poochie? He may not have worked out very well on the Itchy & Scratchy Show, but if he was louder, angrier, and had access to a time machine, I think the results would have been much better.

I'm excited for the prospect of actually creating accurate Samoa Joe ring attire. I only took a glimpse into the pre-made CAWs, but one of the first few had Joe's two-color tights, so hooray! I was playing around with Create a Finisher. Didn't make anything amazing yet, but I did make the most unnecessary-length powerbomb ever. Piledriver position, spin several times, into Styles Clash, out of Styles clash, lift for powerbomb, spin several times, raise up, jackknife powerbomb. From the preset names, I took... the Beldigo.

Mayor "Diamond" Joe Quimby Flames added electronically by Channel 6 If you were running for Mayor, he'd vote for you. "I propose that I use what's, uh, left of the town treasury to move to a more prosperous town and run for mayor. And, uh, once elected, I will send for the rest of you."

Was it ever confirmed that London was actually in trouble for the smile, or was it just assumed?

I've heard a lot worse. I like it, too. It could have been something as stupid as the Takin' Care of Business Dragon Sleeper... except more zombie-themed.

Wow, and I thought I could get away with Rex Banner in the NEXT round.

Andy Bernard. Pros: He's classy, he gets me, he went to Cornell, I trust him. Cons: ...I don't really trust him.

Ronnie was already told by Shane last season about Terry, but Ronnie told Vic that he had known for a while based on common sense, I guess. He only said that he wished Vic would have told him sooner so he could have helped cover it up better.

I was hoping that Lionel Hutz would miraculously still be available until my next pick, but who was I kidding? With the exception of maybe Lisa, just about every pick has been a death blow.
