Ten Things Worth Fast-Forwarding on WWE TV in 2009
(By PWTorch reader Craig Bursch of Duluth, Minn.)

(10) "Piggy" James references.
(9) The Undertaker. I hate to say this, because the guy is a legend, but I don't want to watch his ring entrance or listen to his promos.
(8) Eric Escobar speaking. Just too vanilla to be interesting.
(7) Raw Guest Hosts.
(6) Cryme Tyme. They seem to have some talent, but the gimmick has got to go.
(5) Abraham Washington Show. The quality of ECW went down drastically with the addition on this ongoing skit.
(4) Anything with Hornswoggle involved.
(3) Raw Rebound. (Exception: The Jesse Ventura Raw Rebound.)
(2) Any DX skit or wrestling match.
(1) Anything with John Cena in it.

In the 1990s in the Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter, we used to run weekly Reader Top Ten Lists on any subject. Some were serious, some were irreverent, others were bitingly sarcastic. This week we are inviting PWTorch reader to submit Top Ten Lists related either to 2009 or the decade of the 2000s. They can be on anything, but here are a few random ideas to give you an idea of what these lists might be based on...

-Ten Most Underutilized Tag Teams of the 2000s
-Ten Most Unintentionally Funny People of the 2000s
-Ten Worst Vince McMahon Personality Traits of the 2000s
-Ten Best Things About Being a Pro Wrestling Fan in 2009
-Ten Best PPVs of the 2000s
-Ten Worst Haircuts of the 2000s
-Ten Worst Ring Outfits of the 2000s
-Ten Worst Indy Wrestling Names of the 2000s
-Ten Best Announcers of the 2000s
-Ten Best Facial Expressions from Lauren in 2009
-Ten Wrestlers I'd Least Like To Be Stuck on an Elevator With from the 2000s
-Ten Biggest Controversies of the 2000s
-Ten Biggest Out-Of-Ring Scandals of the 2000s
-Ten Biggest Egos on Display
-Ten Best DVD Releases of the 2000s

And so on... We will run Top Ten Lists throughout Christmas to New Years. You can email them to pwtorch@gmail.com. If you're willing, please format with numbers listed like this (10) and please begin at 10 and count down to 1. So your list would look like this...

(10) Jim Ross
(9) Michael Hayes
(8) Eric Bischoff
...
(1) Shane McMahon
