    Fool do I have to start listing every MFer who's had top tier matches since Ziggler has been wrestling? There's a bunch of guys IN THE WWE who blow Ziggler out of the water, at any point during his tenure. Don't even get me started on NXT or other New Japan wrestlers who can work the main event WWE style. Tanahashi? Hello?

    I could go all night talking about him so I'll leave it at that. AJ had more great matches in his first year than Dolph's had in his entire run there.

    Edit

    This line of thinking is unbelievable.

    lmao

    chill out dude

    I like Kenny, I think he's awesome, but Ziggler doesn't get enough credit is all I'm saying and I think he could hang w/ Kenny

    K, I've just seen people throw out the number of V-Triggers as a correlation to Dave's or other people's ratings and it drives me nuts. Worse than the Tokyo Dome crap.

    I think Ziggler is very good and he used to be one of my favorites.

    edit

    Ibushi/Yano - 4
    Juice/Naito - 4.25
    ZSJ/Sanada - 4.25
    Omega/Tonga - 3.5 (they had a better match last year. I give up.)
    Ishii/Goto - 4.75

    Aside from Ishii/Elgin in the New Japan Cup this is the most badass f---ing match you'll see this year.

    Just watched night 4. Block B is definitely where it's at. Tama Tonga has no place in the G1. Sub par wrestler in every aspect

    I gave up liking him. They would have been better off having him do Cody's angle and cody take over the bullet club

    Goto has been incredible. I've always known him to be very good bordering great, but he's totally there for me now. He's faced Omega/Sanada/Ishii before and I think these are the best versions of those matches that I've seen.

    Have to mention Elgin again. He got an awesome, HOT match out of Yoshi-hashi. I think it was better than the match Yoshi had with Ibushi earlier this year.

    Yoshi-hashi/Elgin - 4.25
    Evil/Fale - 3.25
    Suzuki/Switchblade - 3.5
    Tanahashi/Hangman - 3.75
    Okada/Makabe - 3.75

    Also caught Slammiversary last night. Shame the TNA name has been ran into the ground, there's soooo much cool stuff going on right now.

    Bone Soldier/Fenix/Petey Williams/Johnny Impact - 4
    Tessa Blanchard (huge signing, she's amazing) vs Allie - 3.25
    Tommy Dreamer vs Eddie Edwards - 2.75
    Matt Sydal vs Brian Cage - 3
    LAX vs LAX - 3.75
    Pentagon Jr. vs Sami Callahan Hair vs Mask - 4
    Moose vs Austin Aries - 4

    Aries/Fenix/Pentagon/Eddie/Bone Soldier/Johnny/Cage are all awesome. Gotta say I'm actually excited for Impact Thursday for the first time in years.

    @Pinhead dude Slammiversary was absolutely sick. Impact is on a serious upswing as long as Callis and D'amour are in charge itl be fine.
