It's Ricky Steamboat Week!

This week on the blog, I'm honoring one of the all-time greats, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat! Steamboat's resumé is sterling despite the relative shortness of his career. He showed recently that he can still go, arm dragging his way through two great performances this past week. He only looks old, but you're only as old as you feel.

I'll be looking at at least one of his classic matches, if not more, for the "From the Archives" feature. There will be a GoAT Files feature on Steamer, as a case can certainly be made for his all-time greatest candidacy. I'll have some other fun things concerning him, and I'll also be taking requests for content, how you would like to see The Dragon honored.

So sit back and enjoy the weeklong tribute to the man known as The Dragon. I hope I can do him justice in the coming days.

  1. Yeah I know its obvious but you have to cover the WM3 match. It is the angle that probably got me most upset watching wrestling when I was a kid and ironically made me a Macho Man fan.
    Also cant wait for your comments on RAW the draft and such. If you told me even a week ago that Miz and Kofi Kingston would have the match of the night I would have punched you in the face but they did and I saw it with my own two eyes.

  2. Actually, if I only do one match, it'll probably be one of the Flair/Steamboat encounters, but that being said, I'm aiming to watch and pick apart more than one match this week.
