My Fav 5 07/27/11

My Fav 5 for this week

5. Brian Kendrick(NR)-He is having a great run as TNA's X Division champ.

4. John Cena(3)-Not a huge fan of how he won the belt off of Rey Mysterio, but i understand why it was done.

3. Daniel Bryan(2)-He is finally getting the push to the top, time for him to take the ball and run with it.

2. Rey Mysterio(NR)-I wish the WWE would have kept the title on him. I think the win was to include him in the short list of wrestlers who have won both the WWE and world title.

1. CM Punk(1)-He continues to be the most interesting wrestler in the world right now.

My Fav 5 07/20/11

My Fav 5 for this week

5. The Uso's-With the addition of the Samoan war dance to their entrance it has made them instantly different than all the other wrestlers as well as tying them to their heritage and family lineage in wrestling.

4. Christian-People are saying they don't like how the title change went down. My question is why? The way his character is playing out it fits perfectly.

3. John Cena-I have long been a Cena supporter and this week he proved what he could do when put into a match with another great wrestler. The match with CM Punk is arguably match of the year so far, and alot of credit has to go Cena's way.

2. Daniel Bryan-Wow, all I can see is I was blown away by the fact that Bryan won the money in the back match. With the proper build up he could easily become this generations Bret Hart.

1. CM Punk-What can be said about Punk that hasn't been said already. The guy is truly the best wrestler in the world right now.

Top 20 Tag Teams

If you have been a reader of my blog you know i enjoy lists. The following is my list of the top 20 tag teams in wrestling history.

20. Money Inc-Two fantastic heels that were solid singles wrestlers, but better when teamed together.

19. America's Most Wanted-The faces of the tag team division in TNA's early years.

18. Hollywood Blondes-Austin and Pillman were absolutely  incredible as a team.

17. The Blackjacks-Often imitated but never duplicated, the original bad ass cowboy team.

16. Edge & Christian-The only reason they are are this low is they are overshadowed as a team by their single success.

15. New Age Outlaws-Billy Gunn and Road Dogg complimented each others strengths and weaknesses perfectly.

14. The Outsiders-They helped spark WCW into dominance over the WWF, but also helped destroy WCW.

13. The Hart Foundation-The pink and black attack ruled the WWF tag team division from the mid to late 80's.

12. Wild Samoans-They won everywhere they wrestled and held 21 tag team tittles during there career.

11. The British Bulldogs-Who doesn't love the British Bulldogs? Amazing talents that gelled well together.



10. The Steiner Brothers-Tag Team champions everywhere they wrestled. The best team of the early 90's.



9. The Hardy Boyz-Before becoming laughing stocks of the industry Matt and Jeff tore threw the WWF/WWE trag team division.



8. The Rock 'N' Roll Express-Innovators of a more fast paced tag team style that evolved during the 80's .



7. Demolition-Originally thought of as a Road Warriors clone Demolition went on to be extremely successful in the own right.



6. The Midnight Express-A great heel team that played the perfect opponents for the Rock 'N' Roll Express



5. The Fabulous Freebirds-One of the most influential groups in history. Inverted the "Freebird" rule where any of the three men would be able to defend the tag tittles. Had a legendary feud with the Von Erich clan.



4. Harlem Heat-The most successful team in the history of WCW. The glue that held the tag team division together for years in WCW



3.Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard/The Brainbusters-One of the few teams to successfully conquer the NWA and WWF. The workhorses of both the Four Horsemen and Heenan Family groups. Put up great matches regardless of the competition.



2. The Duddley Boyz/Team 3D-The Duddley Boyz have been the top team in wrestling for the last 15 years. They have held more tag team belts than anyone in the history of wrestling.



1. The Road Warriors/Legion Of Doom-The greatest team of all time. Dominated the competition in the AWA, NWA, WWF, WCW, and in Japan. No team has ever been a more successful draw than the Road Warriors.

My Fav 5

Ok so i stole this idea from Booker T but i have wanted to make a weekly list of my favorite wrestlers during the week. This has really nothing to do with wins or losses, just who interests me at the time

5. R Truth- this may be the only time he ever appears on this list but i find the little Jimmy catch phase funny personally

4. Austin Aries- Aries won a TNA contract over the weekend, if given the opportunity he could be a major player in the x division

3. Davie Richards- finally broke through and won the ROH title

2. Colt Cabanba- one of the hottest properties in wrestling right now, mainly due to our #1 guy giving him the rub on raw a few times

1. CM Punk- was there any question it would be him? he has set the wrestling world on fire and has made raw must see tv again
