Greatest Tag Teams who never won a championship in WWE and WCW

 Greatest Tag Teams who never won a championship in WWE and WCW (May 2014)

It is surprising that these teams were never champions. For many of them it was due to the fact that the tag team division at the time was the strongest of all time. It just goes to show how deep the tag team roster and the roster in general was in those days. A stark contrast to what we have now.

Greatest wrestlers who were never world champion

 Top ten wrestlers who should have been world champion (May 2014)

This is a list of the top ten wrestlers to never win the world championship. I am counting the WWE, WCW/NWA and AWA championships as world championships. I am not counting ECW or TNA impact. I also am not counting that brief period when there was the WCW International title, a second championship in WCW/NWA at the time. It is shocking Roddy Piper was never champion. When I was younger, I assumed that he did this purposely and never wanted to be champion for some reason. I mean he beat Hogan in WCW several times when he was champion on pay per view but never won the title. Guys like Curt Hennig and Jerry Lawler were AWA champions.

The Ultimate Warrior's greatest opponents

The Ultimate Warrior's greatest opponents (April 2014)

The Ultimate Warrior was someone who lots of people like to say negative things about, but when he was at his peek, when I was a childhood at the peek of my fandom, he was amazing. Yes, he was not the greatest in the ring, but he was larger than life and he was extremely popular. These are his greatest opponents.

10. Mr. Perfect

Greatest Giallo films

 Greatest Giallo films of all time (March 2014)

Giallo films got their name because they are inspired by murder mystery novels that had yellow covers in Italy. They are Italian murder mystery films. They follow a similar format most of the time. There is a murder that is committed. The murderer is unknown. They usually cover their faces. Everything has been used from clothes, to motorcycle helmets to masks. They usually make threatening phone calls in hushed tones. The murders are usually committed with sharp objects such as daggers, knives, ice picks, razors or scissors. They are usually brutal murders. There is usually set piece murder scenes involving elaborate deaths.. The blood and gore is usually a lurid unrealistically garish color. In most of the films there is a protagonist either a friend or family member of a victim, a reporter, a detective, a witness or a wrongly accused suspect who has to investigate to discover who the murderer is before they are murdered themselves. These films were originated and perfected by Mario Bava. They were popularized  by Dario Argento. There were then hundreds of copycats made to various effect. Giallo films also have some of the best titles ever. You will notice that there are certain stars that pop up repeatedly as well as directors in these films.

Greatest Federico Fellini films

 Greatest Federico Fellini films (February 2014)

Fellini was one of the greatest directors of all time. He produced some of the greatest films ever made. Whether it was his neo-realist films or his surrealist later works. I can't think of another director who was able to convey his personal experiences and feelings through the medium of cinema in quite the same way that he did. The best of his films rival the greatest directors of all time.

Greatest Lucio Fulci films

 Greatest Lucio Fulci films (October 2013)

Lucio Fulci was an Italian director known for his horror films. He did some giallo films and other things as well, but he is mainly known for zombie films as well for his use of extreme violence and gore. There are times when this is executed better than others. Some of the films on this list are fantastic for their tone, setting, special effects and makeup. Some of the films on this list are not very good at all. Some are debatable such as the Beyond. Some would say that this film is excellent. Others would say that it is a complete mess. He is often lumped with Dario Argento, but the two really can not be compared. These films are not for everyone. They are extremely gory and violent, but they are unique in their own way. They include some of the most shocking scenes in the history of cinema for both good and bad reasons. Of course, he is known for what is known as the gates of hell trilogy. His films are certainly audacious.
