    Announcement Greatest Wrestler of the 21st Century - Tournament Brackets

    I think it's fair given that we're being very NA biased when Hiroshi Tanahashi would probably be top three if we're giving every company equal footing. Brock was really fun but he's not top ten for drawing power, many/most are better technically on the list, and y'know, current events and all...

    Announcement Greatest Wrestler of the 21st Century - Tournament Brackets

    Oh and whoever was insane enough to leave AJ off your list, I hope you were the guy who chose Mistico, because god damn if Mexico's biggest draw wasn't featured at all that would be a travesty. (Sorry Mistico, I had to pick Rey over you)

    Announcement Greatest Wrestler of the 21st Century - Tournament Brackets

    Danielson being #1 was the only option for me, so influential, made it at every single level, and once I'd stopped being a CM Punk mark in the early 2000s I was all in on Bryan Danielson, BITW! I feel really bad for Shingo Takagi's placement (he deserves better!) who may have had the best match...

    Announcement Greatest Wrestler of the 21st Century

    I'll get a list together tonight, if only to counter AEW representation with the true originator of North American indy wrestling classics in ROH (and to give WWE a little shine since, well, it's harder to get over to a global audience than a national or regional one AND to not go stale).\...

    WWF 2000 - The McMahon-Helmsley Era

    Started a new job recently so it's currently as and when I can, but once I'm settled it should be much more regular :)

    BTB Discussion Thread

    I'm working my way through the front page, but may I suggest you drop meaningful feedback around and others will in turn do it for you. It comes across better than asking for people to read your stuff without you doing the same for them.

    WWE 2024: Summerslam fallout

    Summerslam is a great jumping off point. Solo has to come back strong, Gunther is our new champion, Punk needs revenge, and Bron and LA Knight are new champions. Lets see where this goes.. RAW #1 The new (and improved!) Judgement Day shit talk, get chased off, and JD inevitably takes the brunt...

    WWF vs. WCW 2001: Invasion

    The Invasion was an awesome time, at the time, but yeah, it's such a fun place to reimagine and after THAT king of the ring show I am on board. Really well booked throughout, and I love the formatting and style of the show. KING BOOKAH~! already is epic, as is a likely feud with Kurt. Jericho...

    WCW Lives: Phase One

    I have to admit, I'm in a particular group of people when it comes to WCW. I only ever got to see it from around late 1998 until March 2001. Not exactly a great barometer for a company to be judged on (although I have very fond memories of Three Count, Jung Dragons, Filthy Animals, and Booker T...

    Caketopia: A Wrestling Saga (AEW)

    Beautiful graphics, great roster, absolutely love the lay out of this from the get go. Regal as commish is always the way to go if he's available. Timeless role. I don't know AEW particularly well, but holy shit these top level matches just keep popping up everywhere you look. I would give you...

    SMACKDOWN #25 Feb 3rd, 2000 (Joe Louis Arena, Detroit, Michigan) >> Michael Cole and Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler welcome us to this week’s edition of Smackdown hot on the heels of a Monday Night Raw where cracks began to really show in the McMahon-Helmsley Era. Not only did HHH lose in the main...

    BTB Discussion Thread

    I'm always torn on stuff like that, mostly because I'm a slave to realism but also because I personally get more pleasure out of getting blood from a stone than just getting awesome EWR/TEW ratings. Basically, I'm all about the story, and if x vs x makes for a better story and better pay off...

    RAW IS WAR #349 Jan 31st, 2000 (Pittsburgh Civic Arena, Pittsburgh, PA) >> This week’s episode opens immediately to HHH and Stephanie. “What the hell Steph? I’m gone for one week, and now not only is your mom getting involved all of a sudden, not only do I have Cactus Jack wanting a rematch...

    You can do whatever you want. I know I feel awkward using Vince so I've written him out - although if I did a peak Vince vs Austin BtB I'd probably keep him involved. It all depends on your ability to write and the actual reason you're using a person. If it adds nothing to the diary then ask...

    BTB of the Month - OCTOBER RESULTS!

    Finally caught up (dear lord dont let me ever take three months away again!) and holy shit the level of quality is annoyingly high making it much harder than before to even decide on a top five, nevermind in an order! Real props and shout outs to every single person writing a btb at the moment...

    I imagine thats why a few people use images for their diaries rather than direct pasting. I'm a glutton for punishment so I spend the 10 mins formatting (and then editing the post once its up because preview is never the same as live). It's a bit of a nightmare, although my biggest irritant is...
