Daff commented on Great Wrestling Turns Over the Limit into Incredible Show:
I for one LOVE Battle Royal matches. Dunno why, I just do. I think it's coz we see all our faves at once. Add in that...
Aussie Chick who loves the WWE.
I fell in love with the WWE in the January of 1998. In 2002 I paid out $1500 for two front section seats at the Global Warning Tour in Melbourne. Best $1500 I have ever spent.
====================================
Fave Wrestler of all time : Christian.
------------------------------------------------------------
I remember watching wrestling one night and suddenly these two guys came out of the crowd.
"WHO THE HELL ARE THEY?" I yelled at my TV.
Of course THEY were Edge and Christian. I have followed them since that moment. And it didn't take long before they were my faves. Of course it helped that in those days tag teams were as important as the singles comps. ;-)
At first I followed them as a team, LOVED Edge and Christian. Slowly, not quite sure the exact moment, Christian became my fave. Not sure if anyone else noticed, but when he was E&C his wrestling pants were divine. Every week they were different and as gorgeous as Rocky's shirts. Who ever was in charge of his pants did a wonderful job. They were gorgeous. Now they have the 'C' logo but they change colours. Still gorgeous, but nothing like the early days.
I would watch every week just waiting to see what word they would create. I STILL use "rammapercussions" to this day. And people say to me "That's not the word" they have no idea that I am well aware of that I am merely amusing myself. As every time I say it I see a smiling Edge & Christian and I giggle quietly to myself. ;-)
When he left for 'the dark side' I was devastated. But I tracked down TNA and I watched PURELY for Christian. Can't tell you any storylines, or opponents, I watched purely to see Christian. I watched, I saw him and I turned off.
When he returned 'home' I was thrilled. I know no matter if it's on the mic or in the ring, if I am watching Christian I never leave disappointed.
I love his in ring ability, his mic skills, his ability to make me smile week in and week out. I do like him as a heel better than face, but as long as Christian is there I am happy.

9. TLC 1 - By far the BEST match I have ever seen. I remember watching that and having to catch my breath when it was all done coz I had held it so much thru the match. (Summerslam 2000 -- August 27, 2000)
10. King of the Ring : June 28, 1998 : Mankind V Taker - That was my fist PPV & When Mankind went off the steel cage onto the announce table I was hooked! I could not believe Mankind wasn't dead.
11. Road Dogg in the 2012 Royal Rumble.
Thanks for becoming a fan. Always appreciated! I like how your all-time favorite wrestlers has Al Snow at #4. He was, is and always be a favorite of mine as well. I also like a lot of your memorable moments. Anyways, thanks again for becoming a fan!
Thanks for the props on the Lessons from Over the Limit article as well as the thought out comment.
Thank you for becoming a fan. fyi, Christian is one of my two favorite wrestlers of all-time. There was a time where all I wrote was "I hate WWE for not making Christian a main eventer" columns. I had to take some time to accept things. That's how bad it got! He is so very good at all things pro wrestling.
My comeback article has arrived! Please take the time to read and comment.

Hey Daff, just wanted to drop you a personal note and say thanks for all the support on the recap articles I write. It means a lot that you take the time to comment on so many specific items from the lists. Those articles always get a lot of comments from readers but the ones you leave always stick out to me because you make specific comments on specific items. The support is greatly appreciated. I hope I can keep providing articles that entertain you and everyone else who has been supportive of those crazy, rambling lists I write each week.
