Wrestle Mania 32... Live As It Happens
Wasn't it originally chanted for Samoa Joe when he was in ROH?

Heavy Hitters that missed your list
Lawler - Tried to watch a Dundee match from Youtube three times. Failed as I couldn't get over the constant punching. Decided to invest my time in other wrestlers I was already familiar with. Rose - Lack of time. Any of the luchadores - Not interested in the style.

Post here when you turn in your ballot!
Done. Singles only as I haven't had time to give the tag teams a fair look. And I'll probably edit it later as I'm not happy with my placement of Shawn or even if he should be on the list at all.

Best Wrestlers Who Didn't Get Nominated
Jungle Jack are a surprising omission.

Best Wrestlers Who Didn't Get Nominated
The Bloody - Not enough quality work to justify a top 100 spot, but if people are seriously putting Trish Stratus on their list she at least deserved a nomination. Ryuji Yamakawa - When I got back into wrestling and saw Honma's name, I immediately thought of Yamakawa. Again, not a massive amount of good matches, but if you're a deathmatch fan he was one of the better workers.

You've got that match down as 9/19/78 and so have a few other sites. But below the video the uploader notes it as being from December in the RWTL. Which would mean it's their 12/09/78 bout.

On a related note, for some reason in the Nakamura signing video the camera lingers on a hall of fame plaque for Vince from the Boys and Girls clubs movement (?). You also get Balor managing to not say sports entertainment.- [GWE] Jack of All Trades vs Doing One Thing Exceptionally Well
I'll take the specialist over the generalist because improving at one thing gets exponentially harder. It's far easier to become good at a few things than great at any one thing. EDIT: When I think jack-of-all-trades, I think Sano. When I think specialist, the All Japan guys (and the girls).- JvK reviews pimped matches from late 90s-10s

- The Art of Writing Match Reviews
1. When you read reviews, do you read the whole thing or just the final paragraph and the rating? Depends on the writing and the match. 2. If I lost the middle section of mine, would you miss them at all? No. 3. What are you looking for in a review of a wrestling match? If the match is worth watching and why it's worth watching. 4. Whose reviews do you like reading? Why? What do they do well? Bill Thompson as he focuses on the story of the match. 5. When you are writing your own reviews, what are you looking to achieve? To record my thoughts.- WWE vs Lana

None based purely on this decade (unless I've forgotten anyone), but Generico and Styles are both strengthened by their work over the last few years.- Pro-Wrestling Super Blog

The Styles vs Rave link from your 2015 MOTY post is down.- Top Japanese Wrestlers
Which Japanese wrestler will you rank highest? Jumbo Which Japanese wrestlers do you expect to make your list? Dozens of them. Who was the best of the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s to come out of Japan? 70s - Jumbo 80s - Jumbo 90s - Misawa 00s - No clear number one for me - Kobashi, Mochizuki, KENTA 10s - Again, no clear number one for me - Nakamura, Sekimoto, and Tozawa Who was your favorite Ace? Misawa Who was your favorite top challenger? Kobashi Who was your favorite under the radar guy? Is anyone under the radar on a forum like this? Probably Men's Teioh. Who was the best at their peak? Misawa Who has disappointed you the most? Fujiwara. I need to do some more watching, but I've not been impressed by his shoot-style outings.- [GWE] A few personal truths...

If it's 81-90 then I'd switch from Flair to Jumbo because of the Jumbo versus Misawa feud. - JvK's Six-Factor Model for GWE rankings [BIGLAV]
