Wrestling With The Past returns from the abyss as Charles is joined by Childs Walker to discuss the Greatest Wrestler Ever project. Listen to their 9-hour, 3-part epic as they reveal and compare their ballots, starting with #100 and counting all the way down to #1. http://placetobenation.com/wrestling-with-the-past-greatest-wrestler-ever-top-100/

Warrior has one great match. I don't think he proves or disproves anything about Great Match Theory. Edit to add: I don't really care for the Hogan match or Savage part II, and Rude at Summerslam '89 strikes me as more of a great performance than a great match.

Morishima was awesome on All American Girl.

Yoshihisa Yamamoto is my third soldier to fall.

All fun and games until Quackenbush gets a top 10 vote?

I'm trying to figure out who Jim Holiday is and why I've never heard of him.

Good to see someone else loves this match! I liked it a lot in the Tackling the 80s thread I had going for a while (gave it ****1/4), but no one else really felt it, even JvK!

And then Espectrito right after that? Two in a row! I do hope that people who haven't really explored Espectrito will check him out sometime. I made a list of recommended matches in his thread.

Kengo Kimura is my first guy to drop. I had him in the bottom 10, though, so no icon change just yet, since Parties had him higher.

I find it very hard to rank people still building their careers. I admire people who can do it.

Oh, Ray Rougeau. I loved how when he was a WWF interviewer, he always tried to conduct interviews at the most inappropriate moments possible. He tried to interview Bret while he was being carted out after Owen kicked his leg out of his leg at the Royal Rumble. When I was in fifth grade, our teacher was yelling at us about something and she unknowingly knocked her ruler off her desk. The whole time she's ranting, I'm saying her name trying to hand her the ruler until she finally says "Can't you see I'm talking?" and tells me to sit down. Anyway, that's Ray Rougeau as a WWF interviewer.

I personally love the wackiness of some lists and can appreciate it just as much as my approach to make everyone eat their peas. I'll still call the wacky lists wacky, but rest assured it comes from a place of love.

Opinions really are beautiful butterflies, aren't they?

Garvin was all entrance and gimmick. Similar to Finn Balor today. YEAH I SAID IT!

I know we try to find the silliest picture, but thanks for representing Jimmy Garvin as Jimmy Garvin instead of as a badly drawn Gene Okerlund.

I think it's impossible to find a Brian Kendrick picture that isn't weird, but kudos for finding a different kind of weird where he doesn't look like the long lost sister of DJ and Stephanie Tanner.

She was really good in ARSION too. Seriously, though, you'll never see two people as violently angry about proving who's the cutest as you will when Cuty Suzuki and Takako Inoue face off. That was in some ways my favorite interpromotional pairing just because they fit each other like a glove character-wise and also had good in-ring chemistry.

I responded to that.

I demand to know Jimmy Redman's opinion of the awesome Vince-Trish-Shelton skit spoofing Desperate Housewives and the NFL. And of Trish crashing Lita's wedding. And of Trish feuding with Viscera. I actually enjoyed her during that time too.

I suspect it was more them trying to prevent some of the pockets all around the building reacting out of sync and in different ways, as has happened at previous Wrestlemanias.

Whether he's the victim of a political hit remains to be seen, but the current WWE champion is absolutely a hit among four voters!

Didn't they only have the one TV match though?

The Jarrett-Pritchard feud of 1991 is maybe the most overlooked in-ring feud of that decade. Childs, soup, Pete - back me up!

Am I right that your point, JvK, is that there is no balanced critique of people like Casas and Satanico in the same way there is Flair and Kobashi?
