I'm also probably the only person in history who believes that CM Punk will be top 5 once everything's said and done. If he's my WOTY AGAIN in 2013 as he has been in 2011 and 2012 he'll fall just Under Taker (get it? :punk2 )


:p

Seriously, my top 15... can't say I'm as knowledgeable in rassling as many of you fine folks, but here I go (Note: Not sure if you meant to go based on wrestling specifically through their whole career or their whole body of work combined with their popularity/storylines/relevance, but I'll do two lists, first one with the latter focus, second with former):

1) Hulk Hogan
2) Austin
3) Rock
4) Undertaker
5) Ric Flair
6) HBK
7) HHH
8) Cena
9) Bret Hart
10) Macho Man Randy Savage
11) Mick Foley
12) Batista
13) Edge
14) Orton
15) Lesnar

(Top 15 for wrestling/match quality entertainment-based focus):

1) Bret Hart
2) Chris Benoit
3) Ric Flair
4) HBK
5) Undertaker
6) Austin
7) Chris Jericho
8) Rey Mysterio
9) CM Punk
10) Daniel Bryan
11) Randy Savage
12) Eddie Guerrero
13) Kurt Angle
14) HHH
15) Randy Orton

Off the top of my head for the most part.

The new AE DVD was kinda disappointing. It felt like they missed alot. I understand it's hard to cram it all into one DVD but the DX part was like 25% of the movie while Austin and Rock were briefly introduced. Undertaker and Kane weren't talked about at all.

The DX part was literally talked about for the whole first half of the movie while massive points in the AE weren't brought up at all.

I meant matches/in-ring/'working', yeah. I'm a wrestling nerd - NOTHING ELSE MEANS ANYTHING. :p

Oh man giving people titles of biggest marks for wrestlers? And my top 3 favorites of all time were taken? I call this an outrage.

I'll guess I'll take being known as the biggest El Generico & Jushin Liger mark of this thread even though neither are discussed. 8*D

Good to see you enjoyed ONS '05, C2D. You even enjoyed some matches more than I did. Mainly Mysterio vs Psicosis which I thought was a tad disappointing with the first half of the match being worked wrong.

I spat my drink out over my keyboard when Mark Henry told the story when he asked Vince why Mae Young was giving birth to a hand.

"Why a hand?" Vince then said "Because it's a hand" then started to laugh.

I have this image in my head of Vince coming up close to his face with a mad look on his face and saying that. Vince and his family are fucking mad people.

I received my copy of the CM Punk DVD today and I watched the documentary part right now. I know I'm a bit late to the party but it was fantastic. Won't go into much detail as everything has been said but it was just a really well made documentary for one, but also just a great story. I liked how they went into personal things and really went into exactly how Punk feels about everything. They got some great people in to do interviews as well with his close friends and some of the company guys.

I really loved how they went backstage with things that they said and they talked about things that aren't normally talked about. I liked that not just because 'OMG INSIDER' but because that stuff needs to be there to give that extra dimension to everything that's happened with Punk's career in the last few years.

The only thing I could say against it is that they don't go past him winning the WWE title at MITB. But I think in the story they were telling with Punk trying to claw his way to the top, him finally making it to the peak of the WWE was the right place to end it.

Anyway, it was great, I had read a lot about it and it met my expectations and went a little beyond. It also surprised me here and there, most notably would be just how pissed off he was with the WWE last year. That was really surprising for me. I look forward to watching the extras and the matches as well.

Sorry for the double post but I really enjoyed One Night Stand 2005 as well. I thought it was a great show with a bunch of good matches. Now I've seen a number of Mike Awesome vs Masato Tanaka matches but I've always felt that their ONS match is my favourite. It's possible that it's because it may have been the first match I saw between them but I'm not sure if that's true. I feel like I saw another match of theirs before it.

The 2006 show was good too, though not quite as fun IMO.

Just finished Smackdown 16/6/05. Benoit/Doug Basham had a nice little match in the opener and I marked out for Taker saving Benoit from the assault, OJ/Holly was decent and JBL/Taker no DQ was awesome!

Now I'm going to make my way to 23/6 to see Eddie/Rey. Then it's on to Vengeance! :mark:

The Perfect Storm

" :brock VS :hhh "

JIIIIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. I'm probably the biggest fan of this match in the whole entire universe at **** 1/2 , but Brock's new MMA style is so awesome that if he and Taker announce a match for Wrestlemania XXIX you might as well just pencil it in as the MOTY because it's probably one of the only streak matches left that can pass all of the others (besides the HBK series of course , but you never ever know).

Still though, I LOVE how they have a title for the Trips-Lesnar match , makes it seem like so much more of a bigger deal. "Once in a Lifetime" sounds meh , and seeing the match being marketed as once in a lifetime got me thinking more and more that we're not getting Rock-Cena II. If we WERE, WWE probably would have had this plan in advance and PROBABLY would have waited to release the Rock-Cena DVD. God I hope :p

Shoot, I'll play along with this ;
SUCH a fucking hard list to make for me... That was completely off the top of my head and I didn't read a whole lot into it so forgive me if it's REALLY shitty. I'm also probably the only person in history who believes that CM Punk will be top 5 once everything's said and done. If he's my WOTY AGAIN in 2013 as he has been in 2011 and 2012 he'll fall just Under Taker (get it? :punk2 )
You're not the only one. Punk marks stand together. :punk

I call Danielson mark....he's the wrestler who got me into independent wrestling and caused me to stop just watching WWE in the late 1990's and 2000's. I wouldn't have gotten into japaneese, memphis, territories, etc. if I didn't become a massive danielson mark by watching him in ROH and then expanding into all types of wrestling.
