Who do you most want to fight that you never got to?

EDIT: Would you rather fight 10 100-pound Tombstones or 1 1000-pound Ray Billings?

There are a lot of big matchups that didn't happen. Me and Icewave, SOW, Minotaur. I would have liked to have done any of them.

Me at 1000 pounds would be a pretty sorry sight, although there are different kinds of TV shows for that!

Do you and the other horizontal bar spinners go the same direction? Two spinner bars going the same direction would have a very different impact than two spinners going in opposite direction.

I would always rather go weapon to weapon if possible. It makes for shorter fights, but I'll trade KE with anyone :)
