Things I'm wondering about guys on my list now and who I expect to fall before we get to the actual top #100:

 

- How high can Scotty Steiner possibly go?

- Maybe I'm not the only one who still rates Dynamite Kid

- Who are those other closet Sting voters!

- Where are we gonna see Hogan and Dusty, and could they finish top 100?

- Can the perennially underrated Hase make it to the 100?

- There's also the question of ...

 

 

Isn't it exciting eh.

Every one of these guys made my list.

Does anyone still have their top 100 still in tack? I have only had three drop if my calculations are correct.

 

That ship sailed long ago with my ballot, I am at 24 and counting that have dropped.

I just noticed that we still haven't seen Lex Luger.

On another note, has it ever been explained why they picked Chono to be one of the musketeers? I guess he does have a handful of great matches (Hase? Rude? couple of others), but did he ever really look like a great worker?

Hase and Koshinaka were former juniors, he seemed like a logical choice at the time.

Yea, Luger and Sting are both alive which I am glad to see (had both on my list). It'll be interesting to see where they end up.

I still only have one off of my ballot, but I'm expecting a big shotgun blast of Joshi, Lucha and shootstyle workers in the 100-200 range to dramatically change that. All three of those genres seem primed to have comparatively small, but very enthusiastic voting blocs that consistently ranked those workers highly, but not high enough to overcome the more generally appreciated groups of talent from the big North American and Japanese companies.

Kyoko Inoue at 211 is probably the single biggest difference between 2006 and now, if I had to guess.

Luger compared to HHH will be interesting.

Luger at his best was heads and shoulders above HHH for me, he just had a short peak. HHH has longevity on his side, and despite having a hell of a lot of memorable matches, he also has so many long ass promos, matches that leave a bad taste in your mouth, and stories of him being a dick backstage that I have no idea how people will rank him.

Kyoko was one of the final 20 or so cut from my ballot. A worker that seems to be the epitome of the go go style and energy based on the service but she was someone that could show some psychology and viciousness which was welcome.

 

Can we get a text list of the rankings in one post? Would be great to have as an easy reference.

Eventually, when I get to it.

 

 

Talked with Grimmas this morning and took this off his plate. Full list is up.

Please don't post in the thread until he gets a chance to lock it for me.

 

Thanks.

Asuka the next to go on mine. Definitely enjoyed her earlier stuff to the GAEA stuff, and not surprised DEAN had her so high because I remember reading his GAEA reviews and he absolutely loved that stuff.

 

I don't think I'm going to be the high vote on anyone outside of my #1, now. Maybe Kikuchi, but DEAN might beat me to that punch, too.

I deleted Ricky Jackson's post. Keep the discussion in the reaction threads. It's hard enough to keep up with all of the activity in the multiple threads as it is.

Yes, thanks

 

I'm up to 20 names so far

Kyoko Inoue at 211 is probably the single biggest difference between 2006 and now, if I had to guess.

 

And that SUCKS. Kyoko was #52 to me. GREAT fucking worker at her peak, way above Toyota. She's head and shoulder about a good half of the people that will show up next. First instance of a huge disappointment, although not surprising. Shit, and we're talking about the fact Lex Luger, Sting & HHH have not showed up yet. Booo people ! Booo !

I will say that on the yearbook project, Kyoko's sloppiness really dragged down my opinion of her. She has a lot of positives as a wrestler and personality, but her execution was not really one of them.

I never thought she was sloppy at all. When she got fat after 96, yeah, but before that she was amazing on all fronts.

I'm thinking mainly of that hair match from '91 where she teamed with Bull against Jungle Jack. I think she blew every single move she tried in that match.

Marc Rocco looks like the love child of Henry Rollins and Simon Cowell in that picture.

The 2006 list is getting shredded right now.

Well when Tommy Rogers (who I really like) managed to finish 93 on that list, I will not weep for it.

Tommy Rogers is awesome, wish I couldve gotten him on my list.

Ah fuck, my fourth soldier, Rogers was my #93.

 

I don't know why but I see it as a personal shortcoming every time one of my guys drops.

 

Tommy Rogers was, in my view, the 4th best pure tag worker in US history behind Arn, Eaton and Morton.

Anyone ever play that PC Game Cannon Fodder? I used to.

 

Losing guys feels a bit like losing guys in that.
