From the mindset of looking at a poll for "The Greatest Wrestler Ever" I have zero issues with Flair at #1.His "detractors", more so those that believe he is an all-timer but not THE greatest, as well as his supporters having these debates will probably be what lead him to #1. No other worker has had as many cases made for or against him with each side picking apart the other. I love Casas, clearly, and should have tried putting more of a case up for him but I'm just so simply terrible at that and can't say I've seen close to amount as others. It was me hoping someone would do what I didn't believe I could do justice, and actually could end up hurting someone I wanted to do well. With Flair all the pros and cons would be accounted for. Now, as far as the meta-game of a hugely built to, once a decade lists are concerned I hope Flair isn't #1. And that comes from a place of change for the sake of change. If he is #1 after the level of scrutiny that he was put under and others weren't then it is going to be harder to talk about Flair in a decade or 8 years or WHATEVER. Why bother trying to dissect him again unless new footage randomly unearths itself? While if he isn't #1 then the supporters still have a reason to try and push him again. I think the pillars are going to be the most affected next round even if only to drop one of the big 3 out of the top 10. But I could be entirely wrong. I honestly don't know if anything changes if Flair is #1.

Mainstream hardcore fans>Niche fetishists

Will start whining about the Funkster if he doesn't finish in the Top 10.

Please create variations of the list based on # of posts made.

Look at the jumps buddy, fujinama, Lawler etc. Made though, obviously it played a role. I feel like we are comparing this list an awful lot to a list that very few of the voters of THIS list contributed to. Not saying that is wrong but I'm not sure saying "Well look how many people moved!" can be said in 100% fairness.

So we can get angry and disappointed all over again.

I'm ready for a different journey right now.

Kiss my grits

Please just drop the next name. This stings too much quite frankly. The greatest professional wrestler ever at #22 while Bret lingers. I'm a broken man.

Based on how this list has unraveled, which I probably should have better understood coming in and Parv may have been onto something, I am really interested to see how wrestlers of various genres compare to each other across a range of metrics. I clicked that I considered all genres, which is technically true, but to say I considered all the workers I should for all the genres would not be accurate. Not sure how feasible it would be but to gather metrics on the following would be neat: -Ranking of wrestler for voters who included 3+ [Genre] wrestlers -Average vote for voters who included 3+ [Genre] wrestlers And so on and so forth. Not sure the value it'd provide but I think it would be interesting.

Fujiwara not in Top 20=Conservative baby voters. Similar feelings for Satanico.

Ten minute specials? I live for ten minute specials (actually I live for five minute specials but I can manage ten). Are there joshi matches reminiscent of WCW B/C-Show matches? Short, to the point, a real hoot.

Imagine Casas only being 9th.

The change has finally been made

Negro Casas IS the greatest professional wrestler of all time and Bret is better in theory than I've seen in actuality.

If Negro Casas doesn't finish above Shawn, Bret, and Punk then I'm fixing to start a riot.

Is there a running list of who is left on the Big Board?

I'm actually curious where Shawn ends up at this points cause I truly don't know where people feel he should be that voted for him.

Yeah, I'm more curious about post-2000 wrestlers than the NWA Classic types. EDIT: I expect Swag-Daddy to at least get some discussion in 2026. Hopefully the world still exists and the internet hasn't crumbled to bits so we can have that talk.

This is one of those things I'm curious to what wrestlers, or types of wrestlers, we see having opinions either improved or lessen. Like what sort of acts that didn't do well on the list are we likely to see people talk about? I don't know, food for thought? Maybe not even that.

Now this is something I can get behind.

How many times has Zayn had a chance to have a great match with Styles?

Why should there be lots of talk about Jericho?

Let's pick 3-5 relatively young people to form a secret planning society over the next 10 years.

While a lot of names didn't get a proper amount of discussion I can only imagine how much worse it would have been without the directory and the ability to at least see threads for all the nominated wrestlers. I think a system in place at least nudges people into discussion a little more. Maybe I'm full of it. Also, make cases beforehand and not in retrospect because my "friend" Tanner is a jabroni mark who is going to do it in hindsight and that doesn't help me a lick with my process. I'm selfish, I know.
