The Best Cards

Reader Shane Gerlach from The Bumfuck Hills of one of those states that shares one Internet router with Montana, North Dakota and all of Western Canada asks "I'd like to see a post on the top cards you have ever 1. read 2. been a part of 3. imagined (your dream card)."

Alrighty then, here you go!

Read

This one defintely has to go to the first ever A1E Vengeance. I've cited this as the point in A1E where our own drive to make the matches epic sort of ruined cardwriting in A1E for awhile, but it was still a damn fine card in terms of matches. The aura around the event was just amazing. Beast/Torment and Fly/187 still remain some of the best matches in A1E history. This is where we came of age.

Participated

It would have been Vengeance if the card wasn't so sluggishly RPed for. Therefore, my choice is MBE High Stakes 2001. I was a part of it in two matches, an interpromotional tag team match (JA and Fly vs. Hida and Yamada) and the Four Way Ladder Match for the North American Championships (Maggot/WhiteNoise/AussieB/Tillrules). Both matches were a blast to RP for. You also had a super-hot Spoiler/FF title match, and on this card, the hugest swerve in A1E/MBE history, and perhaps the biggest one in e-fedding until the Dis angle in EPW, and that is Amazing, Inc.

Oh no, it certainly wasn't because of that. I was just scatterbrained. But lo and behold! I have added ten more men to the Battle Royale, and now, it's 40!
