Hey someone finally commented on this lol. No I just put territories since there were a lot of them and the guys jumped from one to another I would have to list a good many to count for all the territories they were in. As far as pre-Monday Night Wars WCW I couldn't think of different eras of WCW like I could WWE so I just lumped that all in with 90s USA Big 3. Feel free to follow me on sporcle http://www.sporcle.com/user/randyorko3589 I have tons of wrestling related quizzes I have created. Maybe me and you could go back and I can edit this thing to make it more accurate b/c I feel some of the wrestling styles & categories are not what they should be. Especially the Shoot Style, Puro & Lucha guys since I don't follow none of those. I want this to be as accurate as can be so the PWO members will enjoy playing it.

I only had 3 drop from my list today. That leaves 38 names left on my list. Sgt Slaughter (70) Keiji Mutoh (47) Kurt Angle (13)

Here are the people from my list that dropped today Hulk Hogan (65) Brian Pillman (61) Chris Jericho (40) Rick Rude (36)

I have never been the biggest fan of Jericho even in 1999-2001 when everyone in the IWC was so high on him. When I think of Jericho I put him in the same class as guys like Benoit, Malenko, Guerrero, & Mysterio and out of those guys to me he is the least consistent. To me he is either really good and I'm interested in him or he is just there as another guy and I could care less what he's doing. I'll admit during a lot of his matches I tune out, but then there are certain matches that I get super sucked into (and that's mainly because what his opponent is doing in the match), but those are few and far between. It doesn't help his case for me these days because he is officially the definition of diminishing returns. There are matches of Benoit, Malenko, Guerrero, & Mysterio that I find wanting to go back to and watch multiple times that's not the case at all for Jericho. I think he is much better suited as a heel as he did great work in his 2008 feud against Shawn Michaels. I find his baby face promos to be very similar to The Rock's in that he relies too much on catch phrases that he created back in 1999. Looking at my list I think I ranked him a little bit too high at 40.

Jimmy Redman you have quickly became one of my favorite people here at PWO because you think the same way I do and try to focus on the positive things about the person not the negatives.

If there's anything I learned from the 2012 Bound For Glory series it's that having 5-10 minute long Kurt Angle matches every couple of weeks is showing Kurt Angle at his worst. 5 minute attempts at epics complete with finisher kick outs against Magnus and Mr. Anderson are not 'enjoyable' That said overall I think Kurt Angle is an incredible performer and I had him at 11 on my list Thank God I won't be the highest Angle vote on top of being the highest Taker vote.
-
Well it took a while, but I'm finally a highest vote for someone as I had The Undertaker at number 14. Looking at my list I could see 3 more names I could potentially be the highest vote for.
-
I had Ron Garvin at 74
-
I had 4 people from my list featured today Dusty Rhodes (77) 2 Cold Scorpio (73) Shinsuke Nakamura (59) Kerry Von Erich (57)

So I decided to make a game for the Greatest Wrestler Ever to see if you can guess all the people ranked, if your only given the style of wrestling they are expert in and by what genre(s)/era(s) of wrestling they are most associated with. I used cagematch as help for the wrestling styles, but some of them could be wrong as I wasn't familiar with a lot of the guys. If you see anything that needs changed please let me know and I can edit it. If someone has mixed that means they do a little bit of everything. I wanted to put shoot style for the shoot style guys, but since I'm not big into Japanese wrestling I wasn't sure who were the normal puro pro wrestlers were and who the puro shoot style guys were. If someone wants to let me know which wrestlers were shoot style I will gladly go back and change it. For the genre(s)/era(s) most associated with I broke it down into categories: Puro (Japanese men) Puro Gaijin (Americans that made most of their career in Japan) Lucha (Mexican guys) Joshi (Japanese Women) World of Sport UK (Guys who had a career in UK but after World of Sport Era) Territories (Guys who were around when there were tons of territories and went from one to the other) US Indy (Guys who have mad a huge name in the indys specifically from 2002-Now this includes ROH & TNA) Puerto Rico (I guess this could have been lumped in with the territories, but for some reason I decided to make it it's own category) 90s USA Big 3 (Guys who were famous in the 90s during the Monday Night Wars & ECW guys) Black and White Era In addition to 90s USA Big 3 I also have the eras of WWE separated WWWF Era (Anything pre 1984) Golden Era aka The Hogan Era (1984 - 1992) New Generation Era (1993-1996) Attitude Era (1997-2001) Ruthless Aggression Era (2002-2008) PG Era ( 2009-Now) Like I said above in the wrestling style section I want to add a puro shoot style category, but don't know which wrestlers qualify for it. Here is the link to part 1. I will post part 2 when the list is finished as I'm updating it everyday as Grimmas reveals the rankings. In the game you don't have to write out the whole name just the last name. http://www.sporcle.com/games/randyorko3589/pwo-greatest-wrestler-ever-countdown-pt-1 I accept all feedback and any ways to make the quiz better.

Yeah this is sort of like the 25 days of Christmas (except it's 15) for all wrestling fans with the anticipation building every day. Unlike Christmas each day we get a small present until Christmas day when we get the big present of finding out who the greatest wrestler is.

Sorry if this has already been answered, but when will the tag team rankings start being revealed?

I have a feeling the members of PWO may come after me with pitchforks lol b/c I think the reason that Triple H has gotten this high could be because I might have given him the highest vote at 35. I'm really surprised he hasn't shown up yet and if I could go back I would have ranked him in my bottom half. I wanted to give him some love because I know PWO are not fans of his, but I think I gave him too much because with my 35 vote plus the other ballots he is way higher than he should be and has ranked above some names he shouldn't be ranked above. Here is my updated list of fallen soldiers Jinsei Shinzaki (100) John Tenta (99) Takeshi Morishima (98) The Big Boss Man (97) Booker T (96) One Man Gang (95) Bobby Heenan (94) Scott Steiner (93) The Big Show (92) Batista (91) Randy Orton (87) Haku (86) Jerry Lynn (85) Luke Harper (84) DDP (83) Davey Boy Smith (82) Jeff Hardy (80) Homicide (79) Lex Luger (78) Raven (75) Rob Van Dam (71) Magnum TA (67) Kevin Steen (66) Scott Hall (62) Sabu (60) Edge (58) Kazuchika Okada (54) Jake Roberts (53) Paul Orndorff (50) Michael Hayes (46) Bam Bam Bigelow (43) Ultimo Dragon (42) Nigel McGuinness (30) 67 left on my list -

I'm really liking this podcast with Matt & Stacey they make a good podcast team. I'm really interested in Stacey's list so far as she is somewhat WWE heavy which I feel is most like my list. She has some people on her list that I haven't even heard anyone talk about on their GWE podcasts. Really interested to see how the rest of her list goes.

I don't know which part of this GWE project was more fun yet nerve racking at the same time, actually making the list or the anticipation of seeing who is the next name as Steven updates and hoping someone on my list doesn't drop off. -

Ok so I don't follow Japanese wrestling much, so I have to ask WTF is going on in that Osamu Nishimura pic why is he wrestling a giant squid? So far Nigel McGuinness is the highest person on my list to fall off as I had him at 30
