Only 7 luchadors in the top 100, brutal. (not including eddie and rey)

great post kad

To be fair, we only did this for 5 years. good posts in the last few, much I agree with. Even though control and I are aligned on a lot of things, I actually do agree Ali and Shamrock and probably some of the others brought up shouldn’t have qualified (I did vote for Londos though - and high - but this was because while there aren’t fully matches, there are about 40 clips over a long period of time to give a decent picture imo - it’s still my biggest stretch) fwiw I think I’ve sort of settled more so that I Think the actual requirements to vote should be more strict, though not disqualifying or with unapproachable actions. Some sort of prolonged participation or some sort of proven work in the greater wrestling discussion. Not sure how that would be accomplished without really odd elitism.

Togo should be top 50

Need to see the Lulu biglav score

The rollout and the consistency of the project was the problem, not the nominations imo.

Log the fuck off

Yes and I think the process should be more rigid tbh

@cad did you post your list anywhere? Very curious on your rankings.

Please don't wish ill will on Abby, we need him top 50. As far as no WOS stuff, yes, it's pretty shocking but it does seem like since OJ did all the legwork leading up to the last vote, there has been a lot less interest. Breaks was my #2 European wrestler, I believe, but he is the ONE that should be in the top 100, imo.

Kudo pretty easily the most shocking one to me that is still alive and she's in my #1 match of all time.

how do you have 18.6k posts here

no WOS guys in the top 100 is brutal

CHANGE IT BACK

@Grimmasyou skipped 129

This time last year I was attempting to get one of the big 80s babyfaces as my number 1. Martel was going to be my agenda guy, but he actually fell more as I watched. He still made my list, but he didn't even make top 50 (whereas Steamer and Tito did)

Buzz missing the top 300, BRUTALE.

Momoe number 1 vote…

OJ scooped me by one spot for the high vote on Cortez

He's the fuckin' best

Well I watched like 30 matches after posting this in the last 10 days, some revisits, some new to me, from all eras, and he barely misses the list, after all. I do tend to prefer him in TNA and post that run, than I do in ROH, but I was cherry picking stuff from then.

I have found that a lot of classic ROH and ROH era workers don’t hold up for me right now (though that was different when this round of gwe started five years ago), but Aries does. In fact, I find him perhaps my favorite of the big names but he doesn’t quite have the resume of a few. Anyway, he will almost for sure be on.

One of the sickest guys ever

I'm in the screenshots posted above, but I've been evangelizing Embry to pals lately. I think when I started in on Embry a few years ago, he immediately jumped off the page for me. His resume of available, great footage is lesser than I would like (there is definitely plenty of him but a lot of it seems like it's short tv matches, angles, etc), but really does everything well. He is in this category of American workers that I just adore that this project really solidified for me that are excellent at basically every territory role, have a wide variety of matches (Embry is an all time bleeder) and just solid. Throughout his career he can be a nothing and job out to anyone and can be a main eventer and it all works. He's also one of the best bumpers - actually a very similar bumper to Buddy Rose, imo. I love him best as a babyface, but he's an excellent stooge. Anyway, he's on the list - but low.
