Eddie is already nominated

Sorry about that. Ok I found the thread. I was curious to see what people thought of a guy who was basically a Lawler clone in the ring.

 

And no, I won't nominate the Dark Patriot. Even for the joke.

Nominating Kazuyuki Fujita.

After seeing him live this week and binge watching (and realizing he has more than three reviews posted if you count what I C/Ped for Matthews) I am nominating Jimmy Rave who I am starting to think is one of the most underrated wrestlers of the last fifteen years

Nominating Roman Reigns. Plenty of SC reviews of Shield matches. Considering how many awesome matches he has been apart of in the last three years, including both my 2014 and 2015 MOTY's he is a stronger candidate then a ton of guys already nominated

Nominating Kazuyuki Fujita.

Is there any reviews for him?

Could've sworn there were threads for Fujita/Shibata and Fujita/Chono but Kevin Wilson's random IGF show review that includes a Fujita match will do then:

I'd like to nominate Rey Hechicero via SC match reviews.

Pretty much every worker who got their start in the 70s seems to name Ray Stevens as the GOAT. Flair does. Kevin Sullivan does. I've heard numerous guys on shoots name Stevens too.

 

Just noticed he wasn't nominated.

 

Even though there is a footage issue, I think Stevens is just an interesting case in general since from the footage we have -- and we have hours of Stevens post-prime on tape -- it's very hard to see where they are coming from.

 

What is interesting though is that a lot of guys in the business also think Shawn Michaels is a contender for GOAT and superficially at least, he had similar skills to Stevens, i.e. he was a huge bumper who made other people look good. I wonder if there's anything to a Stevens vs. HBK comparison in terms of how they are perceived by the workers and how they are perceived by people who post on PWO.

Hey, maybe if I nominate some people Lanza and SOME OTHERS will post a little. I don't know. That'd be neat.

Rusev.

 

(hey, he's better than a bunch of guys nominated already)

He's nominated.

 

However, i want to discourage people from nominating guys just because they are better than others nominated. We should be nominating people that we are considering voting for.

Shit how is Super Crazy no nominated yet?

I'm nominating Fritz Von Erich now that he has a Microscope thread with match reviews. I'd been planning on making one for a while, but I got beaten to the punch. He who hesitates is lost.

I agree with this nomination, Fritz is almost certain to make my list. Three match reviews in this link

 

http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/31163-fritz-von-erich/

Nominate: Zack Sabre Jr

Was half of the best match I've ever seen live, and a guy who has been really good for several years. Has a shot at the 90-100 spots on my list.
