My 100 greatest wrestlers of all time! I think, if nothing else, this gives a pretty good indication of what I value in wrestling and the glaring gaps in my watching over the last 40-odd years. #gwe100 #gwe26

I think there's a case to be made for this being WCW's greatest moment.

#OnThisDay in 1992: WCW: Baltimore Arena, Baltimore, Maryland: Ron Simmons powerslammed Big Van Vader to win the WCW Worlds Heavyweight Championship, becoming WCW’s first African American worlds champion. Love the little guy jumping for joy. This was very important to many fans.

The reason I still watch wrestling today is I learned many years ago not to get burnt out trying to keep up with everything. It's even easier these days without a pile of unwatched tapes making me feel guilty, like there was in the old days.

Protip that you learn as you get older and have things like... kids and a job. You control your watching experience. There are matches I skip (3-4 I'll never see from Redemption). There are matches I skim. I'm happier for it. I just don't talk about those matches and it's OK.

Cornette/Dangerously tuxedo match - easy five stars and one of the all-time great carry jobs.

@stars_extreme First, to be really clear, I have watched far more AEW than any other modern promotion. I think their late 2021 run is an all-timer. I have very little time for WWE. But that Bucks sequence was really sloppily and lazily done. I think it looks bad even if you like the style.

@overbooked101 It is that deep when you see amazing sequences like this and people start clutching their pearls talking about they’re killing the business. Or when AEW has a weapon’s death match and people try calling it murder They’re not fans

Hitting a 450 to then shuffle into place to take a 450 and then just standing up as if nothing happened has to be an all-time dogshit sequence. Wall-to-wall historically bad wrestling.

Dark Side of the Ring is great because of the multi-series story arc of Jim Cornette wanting to kill Vince Russo.

Really weird seeing Jos Le Duc in 1988 WWF. I had no ideas he had a spell there!

@stars_extreme Again, what a strange conclusion to jump to. It was a shitty sequence, it ain't that deep.

@overbooked101 Lesnar lover is a term to describe someone who hates athletic high spots sequences and hardcore matches and names them “gymnastics” or “mudshow”, but would rather watch an unprofessional mma gorilla sex trafficker by the name of broccoli lesbian perform suplexes for 3 hours

@stars_extreme Who is a Lesnar lover? I mean, I'm not. What a strange conclusion to jump to.

@paizuripapi69 @MyCousinJoe You do know that wrestling isn't some binary thing with AEW spotfests on one side and WWE bullshit on the other? That both can be bad? If you think the Bucks were good in that were clip then your mind is going to be blown when you watch something actually good.

Across different styles and different promotions there seems to be something that isn't really "professional wrestling" but is this whole other thing that is self-referential and ultimately empty, low art that sees itself as high art, very much "insisting upon itself".

From the responses I got to (what I thought was) a pretty uncontroversial tweet it is clear there are a whole load of people who see modern wrestling as something wildly detached from what it was, a bunch of fireworks with no real internal logic or basis in reality.

@overbooked101 @clean3romega @Almighty_ksp Yeah because we loved watching the same match with the same moves, same tempo, same finish for 20+ years. What are you even arguing? Just do us all a favor and stop watching modern wrestling. It left you behind a long time ago.

@MyCousinJoe Absolutely agree. It only makes sense if you're already completely immersed in the style, otherwise it just doesn't work.

@overbooked101 This is why casual fans or non wrestling fans will not become fans of the product. This screams fake and they are hurting the business all for a quick pop.

@apoirier717 It really is, I'm not sure you could trust anyone else to do it so well. Kaufman got wrestling more than most wrestlers.

#OnThisDay in 1982: Late Night with David Letterman: Jerry Lawler slapped Andy Kaufman out of his chair, prompting Kaufman to erupt and throw coffee. Lawler later revealed that they planned it together, while Letterman genuinely had no idea.
