Oh for sure, my "uber-mega draw" comment was a bit hyperbolic. But in terms of people who: 1. Your research has numbers on 2. Is on the ballot I think he at least has a case worth considering. I do feel some of the names bigger than him who aren't already in deserve a look in, at least for the sake of people doing more research into the area/potentially finding more data for us to work with. Glad I came across your post on WrestlingClassics, because I randomly stumbled across it after writing the article and was blown away by your findings.

Oh for real, a complete shame. I guess somewhat expected by a section that really is just made of odds and ends. I think another thing that factors in it to, beyond people not really knowing enough about the candidates that effects someone like Arion especially is the lack of footage of his peak years. I ended up writing an article about his case and think I made arguments that might compel people should they vote in that area... although as someone who doesn't actually get a ballot there's only so much difference I can truly make, lol.

Some great, heated discussion here (unsurprisingly, lol). Will say looking at @ethantyler's ballot, I'm glad to see some Spiros Arion representation, especially after the research I did on him not long after the ballots got sent out. I already went in knowing he was the second biggest draw in Australia during WCW's time, and came out learning that he was a major opponent for Bruno, a piece of setting up the British scene for the 1980s & most surprisingly an uber-mega draw in Greece with some of Europe's biggest wrestling attendances of the 60s and 70s. He has a way bigger case than I'd ever have thought.
