Reactions to the Honorable Mention List Part One
I know this has been mentioned but that Tommy Dreamer pic is, to make a horrible pun, the stuff dreams are made of. Sandman is my favourite heavyweight worker from ECW (meaning guys that mostly worked there as their most remembered thing, Terry fucking Funk doesn't count) and people that list him among the worst wrestlers ever are universally fools. I didn't vote for him because ECW wasn't really a wrestling company you watched for wrestling. Kevin Nash is my favourite wrestler who is so clearly a bad pro wrestler. The man is a genius who seems completely aware that wrestling is bullshit and should be treated as such. He turned framing a slow motion elbow smash and making pop culture jokes that were literally 20 years out of date into a cool image that made him millions. I did not vote for him either. No sir. But he has a special place in my heart. I will say that I'd be willing to play the Devil's Advocate and make the case he was actually better in WCW than Scott Hall, who was such a complete goddamn mess too much of the time they were there. There's a reason where in the last WWE video game when you play the historic mode with the Outsiders one of the game's instructions as Scott Hall goes "1) Taunt 2) Tag in Kevin Nash".

The Jerry Saggs fiasco
The bigger crime is not one vote for my boy Brian Knobbs.

I'm fucking dying at the caption on Cornette's pic.

I am super annoyed Vader's WCW debut squash of Z-Man is no longer on Youtube because it's one of my favourite sub 5 minute matches ever. Not that this alone makes a GWE case or something, just saying. Vader goes from "Who's this big fuck with a smoking helmet" to "oh shit, this guy" in one match.

Milano Collection A.T. Was my 100, I'll cop to that even as an anonymous. Kind of an oddball choice in a way I guess, but when I looked over my nearly final ballot and got to thinking about it, he's a guy I'd really like to see (or did enjoy seeing) wrestle pretty much all the other small guys on my ballot. I believe he is the only full time Toryumon/Dragon's Gate rep on my list at the end of the day. One of the greatest ring entrances ever too, for whatever little that's worth.

Lowest ranked wrestler with a number one vote?
The Ladder from DDT. Not a ton of footage but what a shining moment.

Didn't vote for Oya but he warranted thought. The way he seemed to fade into nothingness post FMW hurts even if he was a very good worker there.

Lowest ranked wrestler with a number one vote?
Some person that works shows in front of 14 people in an indie. Or Dory Funk Jr.

The Voter List
I'm one of the anonymous. I enjoy yelling at others on the internet but do not wish others to yell back.

I am triggered that Shane is ahead of Vince. Triggered I say.

Post-Mania 32 Raw
I like the way they are burying AJ Styles by having him in segments with the champion of the world
-
Post-Mania 32 Raw
The opening segment post-wrestlemania is not dedicated to the champion of the world, but to a McMahon family promo about ignoring the stip of the stip match. Same as it ever was Same as it ever was Same as it ever was Once in a lifetime

A Few Initial Stats
Crazy number of ballots, beyond anyone's wildest expectations. Going to be really interesting to see some of the guys on the bottom half that aren't as well known but are worthy of looking into more.

Heavy Hitters that missed your list
I'm glad there were enough ballots to counteract the stupidity of people leaving off the All Japan crew to make themselves look really cute on the internet.

Nominees Not Receiving Votes
My #100 is a pretty odd choice but boiled down to me thinking "you know I'd really like to see this guy work against a ton of people on my ballot" at the last minute so I said sure, why not.

Wrestle Mania 32... Live As It Happens
Can't stop laughing at the notion that you have to spend "hundreds of dollars a year" to watch the WWE like it's still 1995.

Stephanie heroically handing Triple H his sledgehammer before she passes on, in a truly Shakesperian moment of heronieism

Wrestle Mania 32... Live As It Happens
Triple H will lose because he's distracted by his woman being injured, like a good hero he will care enough to sacrifice himself to the evil Roman Reigns.

Stephanie McMahon's boots are my lasting memory of this match guaranteed. I have no shame about this, I'm a grown man.
-
Wrestle Mania 32... Live As It Happens
Oh right it's because Triple H is the shittiest Inoki of all time.

Wrestle Mania 32... Live As It Happens
This is the most boring Roman match I have seen since I started watching in November and I wonder why

Wrestle Mania 32... Live As It Happens
I hope the finish is Brock Lesnar comes out and F-5's both guys, the referee, Michael Cole, the ring, and finally the stadium itself.

One wrestler could pin the other cleanly. Hahaha, just kidding. Sorry buddy.
