I wonder what this means for the Mercury Rising: Evolve vs Progress show. So far all the advertised Progress guys for the weekend are all from the WWE UK tournament.

I have enjoyed the podcast so far with about an hour and half left to go. Absolutely no mention of Chikara is very surprising to me. Especially when there was talk about who runs Philly. Philly is Chikara's homebase and they run there every other month. King of Trios is one of the biggest indie tournamennts of the year and they are one of the few touring indies out there. I know it's not for everybody and it's likely not popular with this board, but it's just kind of mind boggling to me that there was no mention whatsoever. Especially considering Powerbomb.tv brought in Chikara guys for their first streamed show with GSW.

Finally finished Disc 3 and this is definitely the top of my list right now. I watched this match a few years ago and loved it. Upon rewatch I loved it even more. I would go as far as ranking this as one of my favorite matches of all time. Fantastic build up and drama with the touching of the corners. This kind of drama is what I miss in wrestling today. I would take this match over any six star near fall fest.

The results for this are going to be interesting. So far it seems like people are all over the place. This is how I ranked the first disc: 1. Ric Flair vs. Carlos Colon (10/16/82) 2. Abdullah the Butcher vs. Carlos Colon (September 1981) 3. Los Pastores vs. Jay & Mark Youngblood (Spring 1985) 4. Carlos Colon vs. Tully Blanchard (1983) 5. Randy Savage vs. Hercules Ayala (3/2/85) 6. Ric Flair vs. Dusty Rhodes (12/21/85) 7. Gino Dellaserra & Pierre Martel vs. Los Mercenarios (11/27/82) 8. Carlos Colon vs. Bruiser Brody (Chain Match) (Summer 1984) 9. Carlos Colon vs. Abdullah the Butcher (9/21/85) 10. Hercules Ayala vs. Killer Tim Brooks (Taped Fist Cage Match) (October 1985) 11. The Invaders vs. Los Pastores (Barbed Wire Match) (9/21/85) 12. Ric Flair vs. Tommy Gilbert (9/4/82) 13. Carlos Colon & The Invader vs. Los Pastores (Ambulance Match) (12/21/85) 14. Abdullah the Butcher vs. Andre the Giant (9/17/83) 15. El Gran Apollo vs. Buddy Landell (5/8/83) 16. El Gran Apollo vs. Dick Steinborn (February 1983)

Might be a good idea to just tweet or DM the wrestlers. I see guys all the time shilling ring-used gear on there.

CWF shows are a 2 hour drive from where I live, and it is well worth the trip every time I've gone. I highly recommend going to a show if you are within driving distance. I love the atmosphere with the crowd. It is mostly regulars that sit in the same seat every show, boo the heels, cheer the faces, and always call the wrestler's by their first name when they cheer. The Absolute Justice show last night was fantastic. Andrew Everett vs Trevor Lee is worth checking out once it hits Worldwide in about 3 weeks.

From what I've seen so far: WWE main roster Kevin Owens vs Dean Ambrose (WWE Royal Rumble, 1/24) - NO Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns vs Dean Ambrose (WWE Fastlane, 2/21) |- NO Kalisto vs. Alberto Del Rio (2/3 Falls, Fastlane 2/21/2016) || 2 yes || 1 no || - NO Triple H vs Dean Ambrose (WWE Roadblock, 3/12) || 2 yes || 2 no || - YES Charlotte vs. Natalya (Roadblock 3/12/2016) || 2 yes || 1 no || = 1- NO Sasha Banks vs Charlotte vs Becky Lynch (WWE WrestleMania, 4/3) || 3 yes || 2 no || = 1 - YES Cesaro vs. AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho (Raw 4/4/2016) || 1 yes || 1 no || = 0 - NO Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens (WWE Payback, 5/1) || 4 yes || 1 no || = 3 - YES Roman Reigns vs AJ Styles (WWE Payback, 5/1) || 5 yes || 1 no || = 4 - YES WWE NXT Shinsuke Nakamura vs Sami Zayn (NXT Take Over: Dallas, 4/1) || 3 yes || 2 no || = 1 - YES Bayley vs Asuka (NXT Take Over: Dallas, 4/1) || 3 yes || 1 no || = 2 - NO Samoa Joe vs Finn Balor (NXT Take Over: Dallas, 4/1) || 5 yes || 1 no || = 4 - YES American Alpha vs. The Revival (NXT Takeover Dallas 4/1/2016) || 3 yes || 1 no || = 2 - YES ROH Christopher Daniels vs. Bobby Fish (4/1/16, Supercard of Honor Night 1) || 1 yes || 1 no || = 0 - NO Roderick Strong vs. Moose (4/1/16, Supercard of Honor Night 1) || 1 yes || 1 no || = 0 - NO Evolve Chris Hero & Tommy End vs Zack Sabre Jr. & Sami Callihan (EVOLVE 53, 1/22) || 2 yes || 1 no || = 1 - YES Tracy Williams vs. Matt Riddle (EVOLVE 55, 1/24/16) || 2 yes || 0 no || = 2 - NO Zack Sabre Jr vs. Johnny Gargano (EVOLVE 56, 3/19/16) || 1 yes || 1 no || = 0 - YES Fred Yehi vs Drew Gulak (EVOLVE 56, 3/19) || 3 yes || 0 no || = 3 - YES Chris Hero vs Tracy Williams (EVOLVE 56, 3/19) || 3 yes || 0 no || = 3 - YES Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Drew Gulak (EVOLVE 57, 3/20/16) || 1 yes || 0 no || = 1 - YES Zack Sabre Jr. vs Will Ospreay (EVOLVE 58, 4/1) || 3 yes || 0 no || = 3 - YES Matt Riddle vs Zack Sabre Jr. (EVOLVE 59, 4/2) || 3 yes || 0 no || = 3 - YES Drew Gulak and Tracy Williams vs. JOhnny Gargano and Drew Galloway (EVOLVE 59, 4/2/16) || 2 yes || 0 no || = 2 - NO Fred Yehi vs. Chris Hero (EVOLVE 59, 4/2/16) || 1 yes || 1 no || = 0 - NO Other US Trevor Lee vs Roy Wilkins: CWF Mid Atlantic 3/9 || 2 yes || 0 no || = 2 - YES Zack Sabre Jr. vs Chris Hero (WWN Mercury Rising, 4/2) || 3 yes || 0 no || = 3 - YES Matt Riddle vs Tracy Williams (WWN Mercury Rising, 4/2) || 3 yes || 0 no || = 3 - YES Kota Ibushi & TJP & Johnny Gargano vs Marty Scurll & Will Ospreay & Tommy End (WWN Mercury Rising, 4/2) || 2 yes || 1 no || = 1 - YES CMLL Maximo vs Kamaitachi (CMLL, 1/1) || 1 yes || 0 no || = 1 - YES New Japan Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Kazuchika Okada (NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 10 1/4/2016) || 3 yes || 1 no || = 2 - YES Tomohiro Ishii vs. Katsuyori Shibata (NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 10 1/4/2016) || 2 yes || 2 no || = 0 - YES Kushida vs. Kenny Omega (NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 10 1/4/2016) || 1 yes || 1 no || = 0 - NO Dragon Lee vs Kamaitachi (NJPW, 1/24) || 3 yes || 0 no || = 3 - YES Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Kenny Omega (NJPW New Beginning 2/14/2016) || 2 yes || 1 no || = 1 - NO Tetsuya Naito vs. Tomohiro Ishii (NJPW 3/4/2016) || 2 yes || 1 no || = 1 - NO Katsuyori Shibata vs. Satoshi Kojima (NJPW, 3/19) || 1 yes || 1 no || = 0 - NO Will Ospreay vs. Kushida (NJPW Invasion Attack 4/10/2016) || 3 yes || 0 no || = 3 - YES Kushida vs. Jushin Liger (NJPW 5/3/2016) || 3 yes || 0 no || = 3 - NO Other Japan Shuji Ishikawa vs Hideyoshi Kamitani ( BJW 4/10) || 3 yes || 0 no || = 3 - YES

I also had Funk #1 and Flair #2. Funk got the edge for me because of his versatility and willingness to adapt his style throughout his career. You can also check the box for Funk as being a great tag worker, which we never really saw from Flair. I can understand how someone could rate Flair higher, but I just enjoy Funk's work more and went with my heart on this one.

I'm counting 17 down for me. I've lost 2 from my top 50 in Perro Aguayo (48) and Chigusa Nagayo (33).

La Fiera is a guy that I regret not putting on my list. He would definitely make it if I redid it today. Right now I think I've lost only 6 guys. YAMATO Akira Tozawa Shingo Takagi Super Dragon Mocho Cota Austin Aries Andre and Dragon Gate guys made my list.

I'm kind of dumbfounded by somebody putting Karl Gotch in their top 20. They had to just be voting on legacy. I've loved the Karl Gotch matches I've seen, but how many are there, 2 or 3? I just don't think there is enough footage out there to fairly rank him.

Great defense of Quack there Mrzfn. My only gripe is you giving Quack credit for the Los Ice Creams work. I am fairly certain that several different people have played those roles and they are exchanged quite frequently.

I finally had someone make the list and I was the high vote. Now I also finally have an avatar pic.

I still don't have anybody that has been listed yet. I have a feeling that the first guy from my list to show up is from Dragon Gate.

The Io Shirai picture is actually Kana/Asuka.

There's a lot of people that I'm surprised haven't showed up yet. I'm very interested to see where New Jack shows up at this point.

Brian Kendrick being in someone's top 10 has to be the craziest thing I've seen from this list so far. I love it.

It's not like you wipe out the vote by disagreeing with it. Arguing merits is part of the fun of this thing. WingedEagle made the suggestion, it was a joke, but I wanted to voice an opinion before people started really considering it. I'm with you on the arguing of merits being part of the project. I just hope people don't start taking the criticism of their ballots too seriously. This should all be in fun and for our love of wrestling.

Joey Ryan is the one that left me scratching my head. I totally disagree with the pick, but I don't think we should be able to yay or nay individual ballots. That just seems too elitist. I feel we should honor everyone's opinion and enjoy the diverse picks we are seeing.

This is correct for the Zayn thing, WWE.com mentioned it before too I thought it was because El Generico used Ole by The Bouncing Souls as his theme music.

I just submitted mine. Didn't do a tag team ballot. I'm not sure how satisfied I am with. There are still a lot of people that I feel I would rank if I had the time to watch more footage. I feel bad for not participating that much in the discussion. However, there is a sense of relief and it feels like a weight has been lifted since I submitted a ballot.
