I think there's plenty Jericho has done well, but it seems like it's good in a timely manner. At the time of JeriShow, the Rey feud and the Michaels feud, general consensus was that it was all great stuff. As time went on, I think people just either got over it or forgot about it. What hurts Jericho for me is that while I can go back and enjoy older stuff and still think highly of it for basically everyone on my Top 100, I don't know what Jericho has does that for me, if there is anything.

Also, Hogan himself has said he just kept working heel as a babyface so I don't see it as some revelation that he was an asshole.

His rep hasn't, but to me, the more I watched, the more I saw who I thought were better than Hase. Basically all the Hase that is out there is out there, and I thought he was good, but didn't do anything that stood out to me in terms of all time status. He's a good worker though. Atlantis the next to drop. Glad to see him make it to the Top 75.

So I'm in a spot where of the last 74, I have 67 (!!!) in play right now. Meaning no to me on Benoit, Jericho, Angle, Michaels, and 3 others. Alright then. While Hogan's charisma can't be denied and he wasn't nearly as bad a worker as some have suggested, I just became so tired of him growing up I didn't even think of him anywhere near this project. Loss' point about Hogan is fantastic and 100 percent correct. He's the worker that represents what dumb people think Springsteen was saying in "Born in the U.S.A."

Dear 2026, If you do nominations, make sure SUWA is nominated. Sincerely, The Moron Who Forgot To And Would Have Definitely Voted For Him

BONG!

Ah, fuck. Forgot Nak dropped already. Buzzkill.

Nakamura is gonna finish above Tanahashi. I'll take that. TAJIRI is gonna finish above Tanahashi, which fills my heart with joy.

Garvin was my 63, and now I want to see how high Valentine gets.

Like, if Samoa Joe seriously falls below Zayn in all this (regardless of placement), recency bias might be the biggest contributor to these rankings, even more than availability of footage.

What's pushing Zayn is that he's got an aesthetically pleasing style, his selling is dramatic as a perennial babyface, and he has enough high profile stuff that recency bias can make his best stuff in the last couple years in NXT really make his case for some people. I'm not buying it in the slightest, especially considering it's a snowball effect of indy stuff that, while good in some aspects, isn't nearly as good as Ki or Hero's best stuff, and really, not nearly as good as Cesaro's best stuff, either. He really seems like one of those likable guys that does cool stuff and fits that babyface archetype that nowadays is a true rarity.

If I'm ranking lists, Mando's might be #1 for me right now. That's fantastic

Not in a world where Angelo Poffo exists. Or CM Punk.

Tanahashi having a sustained period of highs (in his supporters eyes) as opposed to Nakamura having ups and downs does better in a majority. That being said, if you're a Tanahashi fan and think his best stuff is better than Nak's best, I would take pause.

Dandy is gonna place relatively high because there are people VERY high on him. The Lucha footage explosion probably helped him more than damn near anyone.

Nak and Parka finishing close makes sense to me.

There are a lot of guys in the top 150 or so that are highly ranked because if you really liked him, you placed him HIGH. Ikeda, Ishikawa, Chicana, and the guy who will probably have the highest ranking of those guys, Buddy Rose. They're all guys that rank extremely high if you're a fan of their work.

Chicana was someone I didn't really get until I saw the MS-1 match, then it was like a train hit me. Might be the best Lucha brawler I've ever seen, and as far as fired up baby faces go, Parv would go crazy about him.

I see Parka and Nakamura as very similar guys in the sense that in a big match atmosphere, they can absolutely kill it to the point where you wonder why they don't do it every night. Both are incredibly charismatic too. Wondering now how high Nak will go mainly because he has worked New Japan.

Benoit killed his wife and children due to massive brain trauma that accumulated over years and years. He wasn't some asshole that just suddenly decided to commit murder. He had a major bout of depression after Eddy died, had holes in his memory, and it's generally assumed that he wasn't of his right mind leading up to the incident. It was sudden, it was terrible, it was unforgivable. Yet it's not black and white because of what was going on in his head leading up to it. My official stance is that he decided to go about the way he worked and didn't think about the consequences correctly, but then you add in what that can do to brain chemistry, then add in Eddy's death, and really, you're getting into an area that even if you make a decision in favor or against it, you can talk yourself out of being hard on him murdering someone. I can't, but people cope with stuff differently.

That's a whole lotta joshi wrestlers falling off. Damn.

So I'm going to have 80 guys in the Top 100 on my list. Benoit making the list is a bit troubling for me, to be honest.

OJ just became my spirit animal.

Once again, someone comes through and explains my points better than I could, with Parties and Jimmy doing that task this time.

Then that is a mistake on my part. I can own up to that.
