I have two casualties from my top five (Bock 4, Jumbo 2) and I expect only one to survive and land there in the final results. I'm puzzled by some of the results for wrestlers I don't rate that highly - indeed there's a few who've landed in the top 50 I didn't vote for - but that's the beauty of this project. It gives food for thought.

I had Bock at 4 and Cena didn't make my top 100. I'm fine with that.

I would love to see this argument discussed in more detail. I would take the field versus this claim.

It's also fair to say the found footage for Piper in the last ten years has made those of us who grew up watching him rate his body of work more highly than before in many cases. If only this grace had been granted to a couple of Piper's best opponents ... I'm thinking of you, Greg Valentine ...

Fujiwara didn't finish higher because he only garnered votes from 42% of the voting pool. Those who voted for him, including me, rated him very highly.

I wouldn't laugh his argument out of court ... I hadn't really considered Tully a #1 candidate although I ranked him pretty high. He absolutely was a phenomenal heel.

Tough to see Buddy Rose fall. Phenomenal wrestler at his peak.

I adore the Destroyer. Had him ranked super high. Glad someone ranked him #1. Him falling out of the top 100 is quite aggravating.

I was one spot away from being the high voter on Martel, I believe. So yeah, this.

So many guys off my list now. Perhaps I'm most surprised by the latest casualty, Sgt. Slaughter, falling off now. He's just in so much great stuff.

My list was pretty idiosyncratic but I was pretty surprised to see one of my picks fall this early in Terry Rudge.

You already have but I'll remind you in the coming days.

I watched this past episode and greatly enjoyed it. I have an idea for an episode.

I meant to vote for Cesca and forgot. Pretty sure I voted for Catanzaro; forgot to check whether he'd been nominated. Their match really was a harbinger of quality for the French catch archive.

I voted this time around and although I don't think my ballot accomplishes the stated objectives, it is a snapshot of 100 people whose work I thoroughly enjoy. I joined the board just before the 2016 voting was wrapping up. I consumed the heck out of all those GWE podcasts and as a re-entry and evolution of my fandom, they were great.
