Question was pretty cool in the few episodes of JLU I saw him in.<br /><br />OK, after some searching, Black Adam asked to join the JSA in JSA #21(April 2001). He officially left the team in issue #45(April 2003)and the JSA/Hawkman x-over where Adam liberated Kahndaq was called "Black Reign" and ran through JSA #56-58 and Hawkman #23-25.

I don't know if there was ever a better build-up to a feud then there was for that one. I hated the ending of the march, but the build-up was great.<br /><br />I remember Kurt and Shawn having a few awesome matches, which I might consider among my favorites, but I specifically recall loving the Hogan/Rock match from a Mania a few years back, the match itself wasn't much, but I remember the atmosphere and the crowd just being RABID for that one. I always liked the big Rock/Austin matches as well, mainly because they meshed so well in the ring together. I think it was one of their last matches together when it was like 7 straight minutes of finishers and ref bumps... Technically it wasn't a masterpiece, but the excitement was off the charts.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-28548864672064915132009-09-28T22:24:32.358-04:002009-09-28T22:24:32.358-04:00Lol I remember that.

Man that was a great time to be a wrestling fan.<br /><br />And I agree with you, But im sure they could put on a classic. If you ever have the chance though, watch Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels from Wrestlemania 25, without a doubt one of the best matches I've ever seen. <br /><br />Its in my top three, with Kurt vs. Benoit from the Royal Rumble 2004 and HBK vs. Jericho in a Ladder match.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-82662548735280438132009-09-28T22:03:21.376-04:002009-09-28T22:03:21.376-04:00Yeah, The Rock's last few months in the WWE, w...Yeah, The Rock's last few months in the WWE, when he was Hollywood Rock was just 100 levels above the promo work everybody else was doing. If memory serves me correctly, he was in a program with Austin, and he would walk around with a guitar singing derogatory songs about Austin, he was frigging hilarious! Man, Rock's feuds with Austin were almost always epic.<br /><br />Wow, that's really strange, but you're right, I can't recall their paths ever crossing either, that's probably for the best though, cause I doubt Jericho would be on the winning side of that potential feud.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-50402466254796101952009-09-28T14:35:57.125-04:002009-09-28T14:35:57.125-04:00Wow...you know your wrestling.

He's def the total package, always was. I also used to be a huge fan of Kurt back in the early 2000's. He could have an awesome match with a broomstick back then, and his promos were always strong. My all time fav though would have to be the Rock. Nobody could touch his promo work, he was solid in the ring, and he was always willing to put guys over strong. It's a shame he didn't stick around.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-17132080911048715352009-09-27T23:37:15.967-04:002009-09-27T23:37:15.967-04:00Well Im a bigger dude, Im 6'2'' 280, b...Well Im a bigger dude, Im 6'2'' 280, but alot of my favorites are guys who can work any style like Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, Edge, but my favorite wrestler has always been Chris Jericho.
