I'm not too fond of the Missing Link's card. The other that bugs me is Diamond Dallas Page. I know he's not the greatest wrestler ever, but he is the only modern major fed champion we have! We have no WWE champions post Wrestlemania era and only one major WCW Champion, Diamond Dallas Page. Plus, his finisher the Diamond Cutter is one of my favorite of all time. I guess my real complaint is he should be a threat for a major belt, simply because of his status in wrestling history. No love for Curt Hennig? Hennig was AWA World champion when the title still meant something. Bockwinel also held the title in the WM era but I still think of him as pre-WM and Zbyszko was AWA champ in a dying fed.

While I enjoyed some AWA when I was little, obviously WWE was more of an influence and in the mainstream. I was 4 when the first Wrestlemania was shown. Also, WCW was almost on an even keel with WWE for a few years and this is when Diamond Dallas Page progressed as a wrestler. Curt Hennig, to me will obviously be best remembered as Mr. Perfect. Its not being ignorant, I acknowledge his previous accomplishments, its just what I was exposed to.

Lets try and remember to distinguish between eras here by calling old school "WWE" by its proper term "WWF" and the crap they churn out now as "WWE". Thanks!

I'm sorry, I trained my mind to call it WWE, after years of WWF, because I didn't want you to think I was talking about AniMan matches.
