---

There was a bit of overlap on the list I originally pasted, but I think I fixed the glitch.

Some initial thoughts:
*Some of these early matches remind me of the glory days of the prelim bums. Jason Knight? Russ Greenberg?

*Hard to believe that there's two King of the Ring qualifying matches that both feature Doink the Clown. In fact, Doink the Clown is all over this motherfucker.

*I'm a sucker lately for these older matches from the halcyon days of the WWF. You may have noticed the numbers after some of the matches. I made those notes to keep track of the matches that I'm most looking forward to seeing, if I get this disc down the line. And yes, some of them look, on paper, to be great clusterfucks, only adding to their ambience. Most of the 1-2-3 Kid matches made pretty low order, since, yeah, some of those were actually pretty good matches, but it's Shawn Waltman, who really seems to suck as a human being.
