Just a reminder, “Macho Madness” is released this upcoming Tuesday (and yes, review is forthcoming), so if you want to pick it up via Amazon it’d be appreciated if you did so via my link so I can make a couple of bucks off it.

Hello. I've been a fan since TheSmark days when I discovered all the insider websites. Anyways, as I was watching The Rock DVD (The Rock: The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment), I was able to see the whole WMXVIII match between The Rock and Hollywood Hogan for the first time (I was in Iraq at the time). I haven't really watched any wrestling in a while now because it's stale and I like to relive the best moments from the past. With that being said, Hogan's entrance is now my favorite entrance of all time. The crowd, the electricity, his return to WWF(E). It made hairs on my arms stand up. I thought the match from technical standpoint was crap, but it did tell a great story and I enjoyed the hell out of it.
My question is, have you ever done the list of Top 5 or Top 10 hair raising entrances in the history of the sport?  Thanks
p.s. Did you do a rant of this DVD, I can't seem to find it in your archives.

 

Never done that list, no, although I have done the WM 18 rant.

I’m pretty seriously considering doing my Book of Lists this summer, so I’ll add that one to my list of potential lists.  Off the top of my head I’ll say Ric Flair’s return in 1999, but I’d have to think about it further. 

This is a special SmackDown 2-for-1. Unfortunately I have been doing the single parenting thing this week while the husband is on the west coast working. This was made even worse when the heir to the throne contracted strep throat. Not fun for the kid or the parent.

So SmackDown had to wait and after watching the boy labor through a little league doubleheader yesterday, I think he's on the road to recovery so no need to start a get-well letter writing campaign. Always funny how quickly these kids get healthy when it's the day of an athletic event or birthday party. He could barely speak Friday and Saturday, he was energized.
