April 17, 20169 yr comment_5744388 What I've been wondering, is did most people go with their 100 favorites ever or the 100 guys they think are the best ever? Or a mix of both.... If I voted for my favorites my list would look entirely different. Some of my favs made it and a a lot didn't. Guys like Misawa and Kobashi never would of made a favorites list for me, but they made this list.

April 17, 20169 yr comment_5744390 I have Hogan in my top 25. If you don't like it you can drink bleach! I have him a little higher. We'll talk about him in a bit.

April 17, 20169 yr comment_5744393 if that's the case, I put forward a motion that whenever the list is presented, we present 1-110 instead of 1-100.

April 17, 20169 yr Author comment_5744395 I think people forget Bob Backlund is still around. Also Kerry.
April 17, 20169 yr comment_5744396 I completely forgot Dusty was still around, even, so I'm not the one to be guessing, I suppose.
April 17, 20169 yr comment_5744397 Slightly surprised Kerry is around. I like watching him, but even from a historical perspective it's hard to rank him Top 100 even if you just watch North American wrestling.
April 17, 20169 yr comment_5744398 Larry Z almost made the top 100! Waltman down as well. Both guys have gone up and down in my wrestling fandom. I loved Larry Z in his Dangerous Alliance run then hated him as an announcer, going back and watching him in WWWF and the AWA run catapulted him into one of my favorite slimy heels ever. Waltman I remember seeing for the first time in Global and thinking he was the future of the business. I loved his early WWF run as one of the best early Raw workers, got tired of him the second time around in WWF as a membee of DX then rewatching he was just one of the best tv match guys of the era and bounced between both companies as a mainstay throughout the Monday Night Wars.
April 17, 20169 yr comment_5744400 Wait, Zayn is still in this? I'm sorry, but that's pretty bad. I'm not a Waltman fan, but Waltman is pretty similar to Zayn in terms of role/style/history/etc., and Waltman is better in every way. To say nothing of the 100-200 or so guys who've already fallen that I would have put ahead of Waltman.
April 17, 20169 yr comment_5744401 1 is one of the biggest stars in wrestling history. 1 is a big time draw in their home territory. 1 is Canadian. He doesn't fit any of these so at least Daisuke Ikeda and his dog made the top 100 losing Maeda hurts a little less now.

El Generico was a top worker in the world for a decade now.
April 17, 20169 yr comment_5744403 Is there a way to check out Low-Ki vs Rey Mysterio from the 19th Anniversary Show? Did JAPW release pro shot footage of it?
April 17, 20169 yr Author comment_5744404 Is there a way to check out Low-Ki vs Rey Mysterio from the 19th Anniversary Show? Did JAPW release pro shot footage of it? they sell the dvd on their website. That's how I saw it, actually ordered a dvd in 2015.

To say nothing of the 100-200 or so guys who've already fallen that I would have put ahead of Waltman. Pretty shocked anyone is using Waltman as an example of someone being better than Zayn/Generico when most people making a serious case for Waltman watched obscure indy matches from early 90s like the Lynn feud and the guy has a bunch of shit performances on mainstream wrestling TV. Makes perfect sense he'd be out by now.
April 17, 20169 yr comment_5744406 Zayn's very much of the moment. More of a spotlight on him than any point in his career which can't hurt.
April 17, 20169 yr comment_5744407 Cesaro being still out there is pretty bemusing to me. I know people tend to like that awkward style of worker, but to me he has never gone beyond a solid midcard hand anywhere. His indie run was mediocre in comparison to his peers, and I can't think of any properly great matches he has had in WWE.

His indie run was mediocre in comparison to his peers, and I can't think of any properly great matches he has had in WWE. awkward style of worker? He was a star in NXT, not just in the midcard. Heck he was the highlight of the main event of Raw on the biggest Raw of the year. Great matches? vs Regal vs Cena vs Zayn all easily hit that mark.
April 17, 20169 yr comment_5744409 Is there a way to check out Low-Ki vs Rey Mysterio from the 19th Anniversary Show? Did JAPW release pro shot footage of it? they sell the dvd on their website. That's how I saw it, actually ordered a dvd in 2015. Thanks. They have it in Blu Ray as well! Strange 'Shop' section on the site, two decades of events and they have only four DVDs for sale. Do they routinely tape stuff? I'm sure their matches used to show up on comps around 2004/2005. Still prefer inserting a disc into the player to loading up some stream. Feels more of a commitment somehow, I'm less likely to start flicking around.
April 17, 20169 yr comment_5744410 All this moaning about people making a list of favorites makes me wish I had nominated The Boogeyman and put him on my list Flair's place.
