I had DiBiase at 41. Only off by 1, that's the closest I came to predicting the correct spot. I had AJ at 43, so 39 seems like a pretty good spot for him from my point of view.
-
I meant to have Robinson on my list. I misplaced his name at some point near the end when I was finalizing my list with some changes. I regret it even more now as he would of made it a little higher with my vote. I did same damn thing with Dustin.

Murdoch finally shows up. This is a guy that I hated back in the 80's. He looked like my friend's dad almost to a tee. I remember having a back and forth with a poster on the KM board like 10 years ago on how I didn't like him. I was bashing him based off his look. I finally gave him a chance about 5 years or so a go and totally take everything back about him. Murdoch was great. I love the little things he did like cut a guy off during a tag so Murdoch's partner could get in. He did it so subtle you barely even notice it. So smooth as well, not Windham smooth, but smooth where everything looked so effortless in a good way. Great wrestler.

I had Valentine at 45 so I just had it reversed from where he ended up landing. I love Valentine's style. I had the pleasure of seeing Valentine vs Tito at a house show back in 85 and I can still here the forearms they were giving each other bent over the top rope.
-
I never got around to seeing Jim Breaks. I had him on my watch list for the project and I just ran out of time. Definitely a regret now. I had Hennig on my list at 57. Glad to see him place well. Despite his bumping being over the top I always enjoyed watching it. When I think about the IC title holders he is always one of the first guys I think of. Loved his AWA champion run as well.

Tony Atlas. He had a terrible punch, had a drop kick that was so awkward looking and was overall pretty bad in the ring. With all that said I love watching him for some reason. Maybe because I'm gym guy, but I've never been able to put my finger on it. He did have some great charisma though. I even dig his interviews. That realty show that the Network had was must watch tv due to Atlas for me.

Surprised Dundee only got 87 votes. Can't imagine anyone not voting for him if they have seen enough of his work. A perfect example of a small guy who really knew how to work and get the most out his abilities.
-
Glad to see Slaughter make it after Adonis didn't. As they are two of my favorite bumpers of all time. Slaughter was such a natural bumper. It always looked so smooth and not over the top like some guys can be.
-
Brisco seems great, just not enough footage to justify making this sort of list for me. I also can't go by live stuff either as he never wrestled in my area that I'm aware of.
-
This was some terrible news to wake up to today. 45 is way too young. RIP Chyna
-
Glad to see Tajiri make it to 81. Seems like the right spot for him. Surprised about Piper ranking. Thought he was good in Portland and very inconsistent in the WWF. I've only seen the Valentine dog collar match in JCP. I need to see some more of those years.

Undertaker is a joke? All wrestlers have some crap. Sometimes it was what they were dealt and other times it's on them. One thing I always liked about him is his great character work during those early days. Sure the matches suck for the most part, but he works the gimmick they wanted him to and gets it over. Is he consistent? No not at all. We're also talking about a pretty big guy in terms of stature. Not always easy to do when your that big. When he was motivated and in the right setting he was able to put together some great matches. He deserves to be on the list. 84 is about right.

Delete. Wrong thread 😕
-
So far I've had 4 guys make it ( Kerry, Backlund, Scorpio and Garvin). Only 58 more of my guys to go!
-
I voted for 6 that were on that list. Not too bad. The only two I was really disappointed about not making it were Adrian Adonis and Tommy Rogers.

Not sure. I've read snippets here and there of some of you talking him up. Just not my cup of tea I guess. Who knows maybe I can be swayed by the time 2026 comes around .Just to give you the cliffs: Some of us felt that the idea that Andre was great in his peak is a little over-stated because almost all his best performances come away from New York. He consistently dogs it at MSG or in Philly. And yet has ****+ matches in Houston and Japan, and sprited performances elsewhere (one in Detroit springs to mind). I still ranked Andre because he was unique, played his role to perfection, and because when he was on, he was really on, but it's not a ranking that is blind to some of Andre's flaws. I don't believe people who claim to really value consistency -- for example -- should be ranking him. I can go along with that. He was good in his role and knew his limitations. I just don't see him as a top 100 guy. Too much boring stuff that doesn't override the good stuff he has. My comment of him not even being a top 150 guy is probably harsh. If he would of landed say 130 or so I wouldn't of even made a comment on it.

I have 38 down total. I regret not having Dustin on my list. He originally was. I took my list to work to go over and somehow I misplaced his name when I brought it back home. I realized it later in the day the ballots were due when I turned in my singles and didn't want to edit it as I was afraid Steven might not catch the edit so I didn't do it. Good news is at least 3 of my favorites made it in Kerry, Taker and Savage. I figured Savage would, wasn't sure about the other 2.
-
WTF? Andre is freaking awesome and totally belongs. How can you make an argument for Triple H over Andre? Not in my world. I'm 43 yrs old and remember vividly how boring he was in person. Sure you had the awe of how big was, but once you get past that he wasn't a top 150 guy let alone a top 100 guy. Some things you can't erase from your memory no matter if they had a handful of good matches or not. The definition of overrated in my book.
-
Fuckin Andre made the top 100. I would throw my phone threw the window if I didn't need it. Plus windows are expensive.
-
I have a total of 37 guys taken with 1 more reveal to go.
-
92) Triple H98) Larry Zbyszko Thanks
-
I can't tell if I voted for Larry Z or not. I made some last minute changes and originally had him at 96. I think I switched him out for Triple H.
-
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.

I voted for Sting. To me he was the epitome of guy getting the most out of his charisma and athleticism and putting them together to make a really great wrestler. Guys like Dr. Death and Ron Simmons were way better legit athletes, but it doesn't come across in their matches like if does for Sting. Sting had such a great variety of opponents with varying styles and still had good to great matches with most if not all of them. Sting had what I call a Hybrid style of brawler and high flyer that really worked with most opponents. Take guys like Flair and Rude who had a US bumping style, Cactus Jack the crazy brawler type, Vader the big monster type, Regal a European style worker, Lex the musclehead style, Muta with the high flyer style. There's even more that I don't know how to categorize like Austin, Goldberg, Boss and Windham. Even matches that sucked like Havoc 90 with Sid I can still find something redeeming about the match that make me want to watch it again. His run down the ramp at full speed and diving over the top rope and tackling Sid is an awesome site ( the crappy WCW camera work almost missed it). BTW I had Sting at 25. Disclaimer: I typed this from my phone while watching my kids baseball games. Hopefully it came across like I wanted. 😀
