  1. Solid worker but not good enough to make a Top 100. Loved the High Flyer stuff, though.
  2. One of the best brawlers I've ever seen. Don't know if he'll make my list, but the AWA stuff of his in 1983 is fantastic. I'll have to think about him a bit more to see where he might land.
  3. No chance. Never did enough to keep me interested.
  4. Has my all-time favorite ECW match with Tajiri at Hardcore Heaven 2000. Doesn't have enough to make my list, but he was just a guy wrestling in the wrong time.
  5. Yeah, DiBiase not going over to JCP when UWF got bought was a travesty. Him vs. Flair in 87 instead of Garvin? Holy shit. Can't keep him off my list. The Mid-South stuff is too good. He'll be there, probably in the lower half, but he'll be there.
  6. I don't think he has enough high-end stuff, sadly.
  7. Haven't seen much of the old Casas stuff but Tio Casas has been really fun to watch the last few years. He'll make my list easily, but depending on how much of him I get to see, he could be anywhere from Top 25 to Top 75.
  8. Really worked hard early on and had one of the most dynamic move sets you'll ever see, but I don't think he ever put it all together to the point where he was considered an all-time great. Still one of my favorite wrestlers to watch, though.
  9. Don't think he has enough to show up on the list, although he does have a nice string of top-end performances.
  10. He'll be on my list. One of the best workers of the 1970's, if not the best. The Bock match in 80 is tremendous stuff. Automatic in for me.
  11. So is the Texas Outlaws stuff any good? I liked the Superstar feud at MSG and I liked his JCP stuff some of the time, but I think the Texas Outlaws stuff will be the determining factor for me.

    Magnum TA

    The I Quit match is the best of its kind and I liked the series with Nikita, but I don't see much else for him. Just as he was starting to get good, he got hurt. Don't think he'll be there at the end.
  13. I like Zbysko and he has enough top-end stuff to be considered for my list. He'd be at the bottom of it, but I think he'll be there in the end.
  14. Hayes in 1989 was terrific. In a loaded year worldwide, I probably have him in my Top 10 workers from that year, if not that, Top 20. Great tag wrestler, great brawler, knew how to work a crowd...I really want to find room for him on my list.
  15. Jumbo's one of my favorites of all time. It took him a while to be a true ace, but when he got there, he really had one hell of a run. One match I hope people check out is his match with Taue vs. Kikcuhi and Kobashi from 1/26/92. A true hidden gem from late in his career. And the 10/24/91 match with Kawada is one of my favorite veteran/up-and-comer matches I've ever seen. Not as good as the two Misawa matches from 1990, but just a notch below them.
  16. Sorry, got the dates mixed up.
  17. So pre-WWWA championship Toyota is really good in tag matches and against better workers who can reign her in during singles matches. Post-WWWA championship Toyota is perhaps the most frustrating wrestler ever. I'm not sure how much of her later stuff cancels out earlier stuff, but she's not a shoe-in for my list.
  18. Man, I'd have to search for a way to keep him off my list, I think. I like too much of his work. He'll probably be in my Bottom 10 of my 100.
  19. Before injuries felled him, he was a great worker. The 91/92 G-1 matches were fantastic. I don't think he'll make my list, though. Just too much of his career bogged down by the nWo stuff.
  20. Didn't get to see much of his UWF stuff, but the Lyger feud is just sensational. I could see him making a list, but I don't know if he'd make mine.
  21. I've heard some say that on work he's better than Chono and Mutoh and I agree to an extent. He was also hurt by booking, but he was also as strong a hand as New Japan had during his heyday. I think he has a chance to make the bottom of my list.
  22. So off the top of my head: vs. Hokuto 4/2/93 vs. Kyoko 8/25/93 vs. Hokuto 12/6/93 with Hokuto vs. Bull/Aja 3/27/94 That's only four matches, but one of them is the greatest women's match of all time and the tag match is the best non-Toyota/Yamada vs. Kansai/Ozaki women's tag match of all time, and I think it's worse only than the Dream Rush tag. The second Hokuto match is considered a disappointment because of the first match, but it's still compelling. I might put her at 100 on my list. It's hard for me not to include her with those four matches on her resume, especially those two.
  23. I soured on Sasuke over the years, but he was still enjoyable to watch. Won't be making my list, though.
  24. Early TAKA was as exciting as it got, but I don't think he has enough over time to make a list like this.
  25. On the edge for me, but he does have one of Lyger's best matches ever and he has the best match in NJ Juniors history with Ohtani on 1/21/96. He has some REALLY high peaks. In the end, I can see him making the bottom part of my list.
