When it comes time to have a good ol’ fashioned argument, nothing gets the blood boiling like starting up the Greatest of All Time discussion. Fur will fly, spit will be spat, and more than likely someone is going to get into a drunken brawl on their grandmother’s front lawn with the cops getting called to eventually haul some pantless degenerate off to jail for the tenth time that year. Or, as I like to call it, Saturday at a certain HOA just outside of Chicago.

No matter what anyone thinks, there are no guarantees as to which gimmicks in professional wrestling will get over. After all, there was at least one person who thought that the Shockmaster was gonna be dynamite or that kids would actually like the Gobbldigooker instead of running in terror from a grown man in a mutated turkey costume.
