I'd love to hear anyone else's top 10. 1. Wrestling matches announced with "This match is scheduled for one fall with a 30 minute time limit" 2. Wrestlers announced with their names and hometown 3. Wrestlers announced from being from "parts unknown" 4. Masked jobbers 5. When wrestling music/themes were broadcast with a boombox and a microphone in front of the speaker 6. Floppy ring ropes 7. Tag teams where the members were numbered (Conquistadors) 8. Good guy/Bad guy announce teams 9. Loss of wrestling managers 10. Unscripted / Off the cuff promos Edits - 11. Technical wrestlers like Dean Malenko and Bret Hart and technical wrestling matches. 12. Matches starting with colar-elbow tieups instead of punches (credit to americaninchina for getting the creative juices flowing on this one) -------------------- Talk about devious people - Frenchy Martin is indeed that. If he got stomped he needed it... period. -Gorilla Monsoon

Gave it some legitimacy. Not fat Indy guy B wearing a black WWE shirt. -------------------- I Own This Gaff!

Regular wrestling crowds that don't try and be the show. Street Fight matches with everyone wearing the Street Fight uniform(old jeans, boots, t-shirts, and taped fists). Blood.
