When i saw the match I thought i'd be fairly torn. 'Taker is a personal fave and his kayfabe dominance has very few equals. Inoki is one of them probably. I've always wanted a Japanese run in this event and, although he's a mile away from my favourite, he's probably the kayfabe all-time Ace of...

I just made a mistake. Voted Bobo without backing up some information. I was on board with Foley's win loss being relatively poor, Brazil being underrated and trail blazing, was finally swung by Bobo's supposed dominance over The Sheik. Let me correct that - Sheik actually had the better...

I mean, this doesn't require that much thought, but for fun here is the argument you'd use for Ultimo. You've gotta stretch a few things and use sloppy arguments; Rey and Ultimo are similar. Ultimo is as good as Rey. Rey has a 11-5 record vs Orton lifetime. Here's where even that falls down...

I think a lot of us are in the same boat here. We prefer Goldust. He's a better worker. He's as good a talker. He's probably a better pro wrestler. Unfortunately, you ask me to clarify when prime Goldy was, I'm struggling. He never really got high up the card.. ever. He's pretty much the...

Joe deserves some respect, he's got an 11-13 competitive record against Kurt Angle. Unfortunately that wasn't prime Kurt (not a mile off, sure), and nor does prime Kurt compare to the phenom that is John Cena. His longevity is now legendary - it's hard to see while it's current day, but...

I get the similarities of the two. Career midcarders with brief stints of relevancy, both very likeable and great professional wrestlers. Dedicated and respected by peers. I've been vocal in the past about Steamboat being overrated in these tournaments. I think he's good for a win here tbh...

Arn Anderson is the single most overrated wrestler in this tournament, I've come to believe. He achieved a pile of NOTHING in singles through his career - one of the greatest tag team/faction wrestlers ever, with a heap of ability, but in a kayfabe tournament there's just nothing to fall back...

I love Jake. Everything about him. His micwork is up there with Rock and Foley as the best ever for me, his matches are exactly the type of pro wrestling I enjoy, his gimmick was simple and terrifically effective. And yeah, people sleep on how popular Jake was. Definitely the #2 behind Hogan in...

Yeah, Thesz destructs, but I'm amazed at the lack of respect for KENTA. Dude is one of the best light heavyweights in the past 15 years. I mean, this should be a win to nil for Thesz and I wouldn't even put KENTA in the tournament (very important for me to have a large amount of success in open...

Rocca is probably my favourite guy of his era. I adore his matches and always thought he deserved a better run in this tournament. I'd hope he gets off to a good start here. Carlos is definitely fine - I'm a big advocate of including regional guys in the tournament (and he's pinned flair~!) but...

This match should be closer than it will be, so my initial gut is to make a case and vote for Longson. I may still do that, whether I think it's right or not. Here's briefly where I'm at. Flair had a greater deal of longevity than Longson. They probably had very similar billings in North...

Hogan Yoko is a great first round match. Loving the old school representation in this field, plenty to research. as always I'm shocked by the snubs for Tenryu and Tsuratu, but hey. Tanahashi is fun :) My predictions WWE Yokozuna beats Hogan, Steiner and Gorgeous George. Kurt Angle beats...

Doubt it happens in all honesty. I fully expect authority+Rollins to interact with Lesnar and make it clear to him that the priority is not letting Cena leave with the belt. Lesnar seems on board, until he gets riled at some jibes about Rollins winning the title. Snaps on a later Raw and...

haha this is gonna be old school by me, but let me divulge in a little FANTASY BOOKINZ 101~!!11 I actually think this is really well set up for the second ever Armageddon HIAC. It's a bonafide show selling main event. I'm sure plans are a little out the window with Reigns missing, there is no...

Yeah hated that. Lesnar nowhere NEAR vulnerable enough to cash in on in kayfabe there. Hate sloppy booking like that - i guess you could say the Authority favour Lesnar over Cena as champ, meaning denying Cena the win is in their interest too, but meh seems thin. Hated it. Weakens Lesnar. Cena...
