Wow, Sting went from 20% to 43%. Next year folks!

Iaukea only made it in because he died. Horseshit the way that works.

Edit: Oh come on "Williams when it came to functional man-on-man strength, may have been the strongest man in the history of the business". I'm very skeptical of Dave's claims for Williams' lifts.

If I made $56,000 2 years ago, $49,000 last year and $47,000 this year, am I

-Doing better because my drop by percentage was less than year than last year

-Doing worse becaue I'm making less money

I present to you Dave Meltzer's foot story

quote:

--Okay, so this is the broken foot story. I was going downstairs and one of my son's friends left a tennis shoe on the bottom of the stairs, I stepped on it, it went flying and I heard a loud crack and that was that. So I spent several hours last night at the hospital. I'm fine and in almost no pain while working. But getting around sucks and probably will for several weeks. I can't complain because when it comes to health, I've been much luckier than most. Thanks for those of you who have sent well wishes. I do appreciate it. It won't affect anything here because actually working is the one thing I've got no problems doing.

I always thought the Do Fixer vs Blood Generation 6-man wasn't worth 5 stars, but I prefer to have some storylines and built up rather than just an amazing technical show. I'd debate with Dave that Taker/Triple H 2 was 5 stars until the day I die because of the awesome story that match told. If he can call that match ****3/4, then I can call the Do Fixer/Blood Generation match ****3/4.

Other matches I'd personally give 5 fives. Raven/Goldberg U.S. Title, and Raven/Saturn @ Fall Brawl '98. Also RVD/Jerry Lynn match(Hardcore Heaven '99 iirc) that's 5 stars; and Malenko/Guererro 2/3 Falls.

You're not very good at picking out matches that should be five stars.

I have a leather jacket. I would know.
