According to this poster, Misawa will be appearing in the US for over thirty years... quite a commitment! Will he still be doing occasional appearances in the home country?

That's a hell of a card for their first show. Who knows - two years from now they might be bringing in guys like Steve Hogan and Hulk Austin!

Agreed, especially the testicle-severing-and-eating incident from the first book. And the scene where the main villain is eating the dead boy's body and is described as having an erection. Uuuggggh.

Not counting magazines and such that I have lost or thrown in the garbage...

OTHER STUFF Jyushin Lyger autographed 8x10 picture (he signed it in person at ROH show) IWA King of the Death Match program signed by Cactus Jack (won in raffle at same ROH show) Replica of WWF World Championship (my dad picked this up at work) My dad also brought home a copy of WCW Mayhem for N64 - it was a terrible game. I tried giving it away but it was so bad that the kid returned it, so I physically destroyed the cartridge.

Just curious, has Meltzer ever given a match -*****? Edit: Ah, now I see that he has. Roddy Piper v. Mr. T from Wrestlemania 2. And he gave Hogan v. Andre -****? Wow. The match sucked a fat one, but...

So... is Misawa going to be at the 12/17 show or not?

I didn't watch either. The only wrestling-related thing I did Thursday night was using my Samoa Joe CAW to beat up Hardcore Holly in Wrestlemania 2000.

Edge has a book? What's next, Mideon: Naked Ambition?

Rabin? He was killed by a Jew. Oh, and Arafat was a scumbag, and I cheered when I saw the newspaper headline announcing his death.

Can somebody describe Bryan Danielson's Cattle Mutilation?

What? When did this happen?

"CHRISTIAAAAAAAAAAN! CHRISTIAAAAAAAAAAN! At last, you're on your OOOOOOOOOOWN!"

I bet Scott Hall started this thread.

Oh well, at least he's on the list. I really wasn't expecting him to be on there at all.

This guy Maddox... who the fuck is he? And why should I care about him? Enlighten me, please.

Viscera and Mideon have both won the WWF Championship, in seperate dreams no less. I had a dream once in which I went to Curt Hennig's house, and while I was there Giant Baba died in his bathtub (or it may have been in Baba's own bathtub, can't remember.) There was one really strange dream where Regal was wrestling someone in the ring and all of a sudden he went and jumped over the top rope, landing on his back. The PPV feed suddenly went black and I was all freaked out because I thought Regal had died or something. Creepy, no?

I couldn't decide whether to include Benoit/Jericho or Austin/HHH from No Way Out 01, but I personally find the latter to be overrated and the less HHH, the better - right? I lumped the TLC matches into one choice because as great as they are, it's more or less impossible to distinguish between them. I made this a North America-only poll because I haven't been following Puro much over the past few years and aside from Mutoh/Tenryu, I don't know what foreign matches to put include. If I did include that match, I'd probably take a lot of heat from Puro enthusiasts for only including one non-American match. Feel free to list any others in your reply, though. While few if any will vote for the Smackdown match, I absolutely love it and it wouldn't feel right for me not to include it.

Yewah?

Back in late 1999, there was actually a Hardcore Holly shirt that said "How ya like me now?" in big yellow letters. I swear to God I am not making this up.

I would spend all of it on Kaientai shirts.

Yeah. ain't it great? I actually voted for HHH v. Foley at the Rumble, BTW.

This is a pretty good list, people. There's no reason to knock it. After all, Undertaker and JBL could wrestle circles around Lyger, right? Right? ...?

I wonder what kkk thinks of Ecco...
