Friday Fun Link – 5-Star Wrestling Matches

I’m tempting to use the “Xmas” tag on this one. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer newsletter is like the Roger Ebert of reviewing wrestling matches.  This Reddit thread contains links to almost all of the matches Meltzer has given the highly coveted and very rare 5 Star rating.  Quite a trip down memory lane […]

As I increasingly get familiar with my temporary new role of Outreach Librarian at Regina Public Library, […]
