Joeg proposed this project and sometimes genius doesn't take many words.
"I was lurking over at the GWE board and saw the classic deathmatch thread. I was thinking it might be a fun project to do,Greatest Gimmick/Super Libre/Deathmatch/Garbage Brawls. Would there be any interest in such a thing?"
YESSSSSSSSS.
But I do think we should clarify exactly what it is we're doing.
Top 100 for sure.
Is this "best brawls ever"?
Or is this "best gimmick matches ever?"
Is it both or is it just one?
For example. Flair vs Funk GAB 89 or Hansen vs Funk 83 are stone cold locks for a "Best Brawls Ever" list. But aren't gimmick matches and end with DQs.
Bret Hart vs Owen Hart SummerSlam Cage Match and Ultimate Warrior vs Randy Savage WM VII Career vs Career match are gimmick matches. But they definitely aren't brawls.
Even Fujiwara vs Super Tiger 12/84 is technically a "Death Match" but I don't think it would really fit the spirit of what this project is supposed to be, unless I'm misreading Joeg's original intent.
Presumably this won't just be about death matches or gimmick matches, but anything that could be described as a "brawl?"
