This list is severely missing some 80's/90's classics. How Macho Man Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat at Wrestlemania III isn't on any top 10 list is beyond me. HBK vs Razor Ramon ladder matches? Bulldog/Hart at Wembley Stadium?

Edit: Now that I really look at that list I start to feel old. I'd replace probably 7 or 8 of those matches.

Savage/Steamboat is definitely one of my "honorable mentions" (along with Savage/Flair for the Championship at Wrestlemania 8, Savage/Warrior's retirement match, Hart/Piper for the IC Title,
Hogan/HBK from Summerslam is a guilty pleasure,
Bret/Owen at Wrestlemania X, and the first HBK/Razor Ladder Match is another all time grea.t) There's a ton of awesome matches throughout WWE History, but the ten I mentioned have the best memories associated with them, I guess.

I've only been watching since Wrestlemania X. So while I can go back and appreciate some of the older matches; they just don't hold the same weight with me as they do for someone who was watching back then.

Not at all. Anyone of heavyweight size is a believable foe for Big Show. Rey is not a viable threat. Not to mention if you just STAY OFF THE FUCKING ROPES, he has no chance to gimmick win.

I'm going to continue this conversation; I'm a man of my word. You might not think we have much to discuss but, good son of Krypton, we do. In fact, I have four paragraph's worth of stuff to discuss with you - four paragraphs. Better get cracking or I'll be late for my hair appointment.

Firstly, if Rey's not a viable threat, I'm astounded that the WWE would humiliate main eventers like Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, Randy Orton and Batista by having the Mexican version of Hornswoggle go over them. I'm amazed that they'd bury up-and-comers like Dolph Ziggler and Cody Rhodes by even having this mask-wearing garden gnome so much as look competitive against them. I suppose the reason he's come mere whiskers away from defeating both John Cena and The Undertaker was just to teach them some humility.

Secondly, John Cena outweighs Rey Mysterio by 65 pounds. The Big Show outweighs John Cena by 245 pounds. Not good enough? Andre the Giant outweighed Hulk Hogan by 175 pounds. Yokozuna outweighed Bret Hart by about 500 pounds. Kane outweighed Steve Austin by 75 pounds. Mark Henry outweighs Randy Orton by 150 pounds. In a world where men routinely take on men much more physically imposing than themselves, Rey Mysterio taking on John Cena, Batista, CM Punk or whoever else is downright sensible in comparison.

Thirdly, wrestling is a form of entertainment where we must continually suspend our disbelief. You're watching UFC, Anderson Silva and Georges St. Pierre are having a forty minute match, only to be decided when Dana White runs down to the octagon and tries to screw GSP because he was going to take the belt and run off to Canada with it - you're going to be wondering just what in the fuck is going on. View the same thing through the prism of a wrestling fan and suddenly it's, "Oh, that dastardly Dana White Vince McMahon! How dare he!?" As wrestling fans, we're frequently asked to swallow the downright fanciful, and, smarks or not, we do. What is it about Rey Mysterio beating larger men that makes you suddenly come unstuck?

Fourthly, what on Earth happened to us screaming and banging our feet like children over the fact that Vince supposedly only likes big guys? Rey Mysterio wins a title and suddenly it's like, "Whoa there, Vinnie boy! I know we said small but we didn't mean that small. Basically, Chris Jericho is the lower limit. Give that belt back to Cena if you please."

I'm off to get a blow-dry.

It has nothing to do with size or skill. Evan bourne could beat the Big Show and no one would say shit. Daniel Bryan could beat any big man and no one would say shit.

Rey is one of the top guys face that symbolizes the "PG era." He plays well to the same crowd that cheer on Cena and Jeff Hardy. It's as simple as that.

This is what I suspected and I agree; I just wanted to debunk the myth that Rey is too small to be a viable threat.

For the record, I'm agreeing that's why other people balk at Mysterio. I like the guy.

8 pages late (damn GAF) .. but finally a post.

Call me crazy but I actually like the Celtic Warrior as a face. I like the fact that the E has put down Kane and Show to push Henry and Sheamus.

I will support this. The iPPVs are the future, and should be encouraged!

Oh my goddamn shit. What the goddamn shit. EURGH.
 
She's been like that for the past year or so. All muscles and no fat.

It makes me sad because I used to have a huge crush on her.
 
Wow, I didn't realize she has been like that for so long. The last time I remember seeing her was at a ROH show in Dayton a couple years ago.

Seeing that picture reminds me of the most recent pictures I've seen of Erick Stevens since he lost all that weight. What ever happened to him?

This is going to be the slowest card ever. I hope they have a lot of medical staff on hand.

I hate that I really want to see this! But I'll be damned, I'm all in. And from the looks of it, this will be a 10 hour card.

Wait..Scott Hall?!? They better have a coroner on hand. Or at least a priest to give Last Rites.

Crazy Card.. Interesting matches
 
It looks to me with the way things are going, Sting is going to be the most-giffed wrestler of all time. I can't wait for next week!

Didn't you hear the new WWE thing is to make fun of you for being too skinny?
Isn't that what the Bellas are doing to Kelly Kelly.

Back when they used to film promos to promote local area shows, I remember Bret was fighting Diesel in a cage match and used that line, and I remember thinking how goddamn corny it was at the time.

It's funny how certain things just stick in your brain over the years.

For years I would tell my friends about the match I saw with Phantasio and nobody believed me. Finally the internet grew large enough that someone put footage up, I knew I didn't imagine that match.
 
Mickie James, Natayla, and Kharma were all made fun of either by Michelle McCool or the Bellas for being "fat". Jerry Lawler and John Cena were making fat jokes to Vickie Guerrero.

And now lately it's just "she's too thin" jokes on Kelly Kelly.

So, about that bullying campaign, Punk...
