Timbo Slice

Makes sense. He did get presented in TNA as a guy you didn't want to mess with, but when Hernandez got added he really did just play your generic little guy with the big guy muscle behind him. I also haven't really gone back and looked at what he's done in a while to warrant a hard case, just recollection, but he seems like someone that was really hot at a time when indy wrestling was at its hottest and stood out amongst the rest.

He had a few bright spots for the WWF/E, but he mostly shined in the MPro tags and like Dylan said, that's hard to get him hard consideration for a list like this.

Miracle Ecstasy Driver!!!!!! I liked Men's, but he wasn't someone that I thought was better than any of the other MPro guys. Like, I don't think he was better than Yakushiji. Won't be on here, even though he was a part of some of the best tag team matches I've ever seen.

Really good tag worker, but I don't see him matching up well with some of the other guys of his era, even though I did like NOAH mid-card matches as much as anyone. Won't be on my list.

Great tag worker, but as a singles worker I didn't really see it. He got surpassed pretty easily by a lot of his peers. Won't see him on my list.

When this gets done in another 10 years, I wouldn't be surprised to see him in somebody's Top 25, maybe even Top 10 if they're lucha driven. But now, he's on the outside looking in.

If there were only wrestlers and not journalists that voted in the WON poll, he would already be in. There are definitely some good spots with Orton, but way too much in the doldrums. Can't see him.

Nah. He DID look like a gigantic baby at times, though. Seriously, his head was huge.

He was fantastic in the AWA stuff I watched but I didn't get to the WOS stuff. If it's as good as his AWA stuff, he'll be in the mix.

Won't really be able to consider him until I see the Rio IC Title tourney footage.

Nope. He had a few surprisingly good matches, but overall, no shot.

Always remember Dream on the Memphis set because he had such a great promo after his turn. Really charismatic and fun to watch, but I don't know if I'll have room for him.

I think he was so smart that he got dumb in the business to an extent. Just really tried to overplay everything. Should have kept it simpler. Doesn't hold up.

The one thing I'll say is that I did like him vs. Ohtani, 6/6/01 vs. Kawada and I did like one of the Tenryu matches. Outside of that? Eh.

I loved him in the 2003 G-1 Climax, but I think I'm with a lot of people now who have realized that really was him getting carried to his best matches. No shot.

He stood out in Toryumon and NJPW a bit and he had some straight-up carny submissions at times, but he also wrestled in an era I didn't like when it came to Japanese juniors wrestling. I know he was well-liked in the states because he was on TNA, but I don't see him for this.

Actually a pretty compelling character and probably one of Heyman's Top 5 mirages as far as credible guys who were shit in the ring. I did like that when he got in shape for WWECW that he still had a boiler on him. No chance for this list, though.

I like the JBL/Booker comparison, too. They were presented well and did the most with their pushes, but more often than not, the wrestling never matched up unless they were partnered with someone better (Benoit for Booker, Eddy for JBL). I don't see it.

Nope. I know why she was nominated, but even her best stuff doesn't touch the other female nominees. In an era where modern wrestling gets shit on more for not being better than stuff from the past, Trish is getting smoked by the NXT women right now and none of them are gonna make my ballot.

He's fine, and his career arc has some interesting peaks, but I don't think he ever did something that made me want to see more of him, honestly. He was a good flyer base and took all that punishment from RVD, but I think the aura of Jerry Lynn was what pushed the idea of Jerry Lynn as an actual great worker.

Is he one of the guys where TNA actually helped him out a bit? I know people loved him in ROH because his fireball angle at Reborn jumpstarted the post-RF era, but I really liked him in LAX and when he got an opportunity to shine, he really went with it. I don't think I'll have him on my list, but he's one of those guys that some of the newer fans will probably push hard for.

Liked her tagging with Hasegawa, and she stood out in an era where joshi tag team wrestling wasn't really that refined outside of what Toyota and Yamada were doing. Don't think she'll be close to my list, though.

Just doesn't have enough for a project like this, but on a per-match basis, he's got some good ones.

Both the Mesias brawls are incredible, MOTYC. Santo one was pretty good offhand but I don't remember much.

Even the Misawa/Kawada NOAH Dome Match, which is a billion magnitudes removed from 6/3/94 is a pretty good match. I wouldn't call it great, though. I'd say his last great match was with Hash, even though the leg selling gets a bit weird. A really epic match that delivered on first watch and stood the test of time on a recent re-watch. I liked some of his stuff from 2001, but nothing really stood out outside of leading Kojima and Tenzan to some pretty good matches. The first Kawada/Mutoh match was fine, too. But after the knee injury and his return, it just wasn't the same guy outside the Hash match, which it looked like was him trying to have one last great match, whereas the Misawa match was very much so Misawa by the numbers at that point.
