April 15, 20169 yr comment_5743708 Bigelow's not a bugbear of mine or anything. I just thought he finished super high. I'm not even a fan of his, I just think the idea that a commonly held opinion is science is ridiculous.
April 15, 20169 yr comment_5743710 Turned on the Islanders/Panthers game and Trips' entrance music was playing in the minute or two before face off. He cannot be escaped.
April 15, 20169 yr comment_5743716 This is where my slightly more mainsteam tastes like ranking guys like Great Muta and Dynamite Kid, for example, will come into play.True. ... Gotta say, since I've been a pretty vocal biglav supporter, I'm glad you still have 81 guys left. I could convince myself that's a sign that there's something to that system.It's more a sign I think that the areas I consider to be "niches", and didn't rank, are in fact niches. Trouble is, Steven didn't bother with shootstyle either and I think his 83 guys and my 81 guys have about a 90% overlap. I need a few more of those lucha punks to fall if I'm going to "beat him", lol Like Steven I also have 83 left, and I've heard your lists ;-) I'll be shocked if we don't all have everyone from the top 25. What determines the result of "the race"? Most guys in the top 100? First guy to have every remaining wrestler?
April 16, 20169 yr comment_5743717 HHH 12th best of all time, god damn. He truly is a master worker if he's convinced someone he's that good.
April 16, 20169 yr comment_5743718 I got 77 left. Pleasantly surprised Christian is still hanging around.
April 16, 20169 yr comment_5743720 I am the high vote on Fuerza Guerrera (he is my #15). Sabu, Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, Shinobu Kandori, Perro Aguayo, Devil Masami, Mayumi Ozaki and Dynamite Kansai are all on my list too. I have only 68 wrestlers left that haven't appeared in the final results so far... six of them of joshi workers... 32 wrestlers that are in my top 100 have appeared in the final results so far... ... #15 Fuerza Guerrera [#155] (high vote) ... #28 Mr. Gannosuke [#277] (high vote) ... #31 Mayumi Ozaki [#133] ... #41 La Fiera [#164] ... #48 El Samurai [#212] (high vote) #49 Kyoko Inoue [#217] ... #53 Tsuyoshi Kikuchi [#148] ... #57 Yumi Ikeshita [#384] ... #60 TAKA Michinoku [#180] ... #62 Shinobu Kandori [#146] ... #65 Dynamite Kansai [#125] #66 Dan Kroffat [#254] ... #69 Perro Aguayo [#140] ... #71 Bison Kimura [#420] #72 Devil Masami [#135] #73 Cuty Suzuki [#385] ... #75 Dennis Condrey [#199] ... #77 Super Astro [#283] #78 Leo Burke [#296] #79 Jinsei Shinzaki [#400] ... #82 Masato Tanaka [#175] #83 Javier Cruz [#502] (high vote) ... #85 Psicosis [#183] ... #88 Marty Jannetty [#272] #89 Espectrito [#370] #90 Masa Saito [#160] #91 Sabu [#149] #92 Scott Steiner [#162] #93 Jacques Rougeau [#339] ... #98 Stan Lane [#260] #99 Big Boss Man [#171] #100 Ron Starr [#403]
April 16, 20169 yr comment_5743721 Turned on the Islanders/Panthers game and Trips' entrance music was playing in the minute or two before face off. He cannot be escaped. It is unavoidable... He is our destiny...
April 16, 20169 yr comment_5743726 Almost half of my list has dropped. Not too surprising, I guess. My wheelhouse is 1970's/early 80's territory wrestling and younger voters, footage issues, etc. hurt those guys. Or maybe it's just a difference of opinion. Magnum is the guy that's bothered me the most. Shocked he came up so soon. Tommy Rich and Bruno not making Top 100 was a surprise too. One confession to make. My vote for Chavo Jr. was meant for Chavo Sr. Probable copy and paste error. Hope that doesn't mean I put Jerry Lynn or Jerry Estrada at #3.
April 16, 20169 yr comment_5743728 I guess I'm not surprised that I was the high vote on Johnny Saint. I think in some ways, the pendulum has swung too far the other way. Other WoS workers have come across looking great and have been fun discoveries, but I think Saint deserves credit for being tremendously influential (moreso than any other WoS worker with the possible exception of Regal) and being, in my opinion, one of the best ever at working a face vs. face match. It's not a match style that is done super often, but Saint is one of the only people who I think is able to work that match and keep it interesting without one of the people playing de facto heel, which always comes across as insincere to me. I like his schtick and I think due to his size, him eating up lesser competitors on the mat has never bothered me in the way bigger guys bullying opponents can. As an aside, can Grimmas or somebody say: Is Saint the highest ranked person without a top 25 vote? That feels noteworthy for some reason.
April 16, 20169 yr comment_5743732 But I have one big compliment for him! He's responsible for Motörhead getting a shitload of new fans!!!! ... Actually he maybe deserved a top 100 spot just for cashflowing Lemmy... Shit. I take all my critique of him back!!!! All hail the King of Kings!!! This X 1000. I have been a Motorhead fan my entire life. When I saw the documentary "Lemmy" I realized that Trips was as big a fan as I. And Trips did a ton for Lemmy and Motorhead. And Lemmy loved Trips. And with apologies to Austin Aries, Lemmy was the Greatest Person Who Ever Lived. So if Triple H loved Motorhead, and Lemmy loved Trips, there is no possible way Trips can be all bad. Lemmy really was one of the most real, authentic people ever. Seeing Lemmy and Trips talk about each other in various interviews, and seeing Trips give his eulogy at Lemmy's funeral made me like Trips a lot more as a human being. Does that mean Trips deserved to be in the Top 100? No. But it was interesting to me. And if you don't like Motorhead and you don't understand Lemmy? Well, I don't mean to be judgmental, but you deserve to get some sort of open sores all over your body which continue to worsen until you eventually expire in agony. And your last words should be "I was wrong about Lemmy. Please play "Killed By Death" at my funeral." There, I said it.
April 16, 20169 yr comment_5743733 I just have to say how much I love that Grimmas outed ALL of the HHH voters. Well played.

April 16, 20169 yr Author comment_5743735 I just have to say how much I love that Grimmas outed ALL of the HHH voters. Well played. They must wear their shame. Every single one of them should change their avatars to Triple H avatars.
April 16, 20169 yr comment_5743737 The only person I'm calling out on the Triple H vote is Goodear. He needs to explain himself. I'll give everyone else a pass.
April 16, 20169 yr comment_5743738 12 down, relatively quickly after a slow start. Only one from the Top 50, though, so I guess that's something. 49. Pat Patterson (121)59. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi (148)63. Johnny Saint (122)78. Yoshiaki Yatsu (172)81. Jose Lothario (276)86. Naoki Sano (126)87. Masa Saito (160)89. Marty Jannetty (272)91. Bob Orton Jr. (157)94. Butch Reed (136)97. Lex Luger (144)99. Adrian Adonis (165)100. Matt Borne (263)
April 16, 20169 yr comment_5743740 I'm at 84 left, which is more than I thought I'd have. (And maybe more than I'd like to have, really.) That number took quite a tumble over the last thirty reveals. _____________________ 47. Shinobu Kandori (#146)48. Naoki Sano (#126) ...59. Dynamite Kansai (#125)60. Yoshihiro Takayama (#123)61. Yoji Anjoh (#214) ...68. Devil Masami (#135)...72. Yoshinari Ogawa (#184) ...76. Emilio Charles Jr. (#193) ...78. Sabu (#149) ...81. Perro Aguayo (#140) ...85. Megumi Kudo (#195)86. MS-1 (#192)87. Antonio Inoki (#132) ... 92. Mayumi Ozaki (#133) ... 94. Masaaki Mochizuki (#194) ...100. Animal Hamaguchi (#375) _____________________ All in all, the rollout has been amazing.
April 16, 20169 yr comment_5743741 There's a massive difference in footage between Patterson and Stevens.
