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.

It's hard to overstate Yvon Robert's status in the province, he was a huge territorial star who even out-earned Maurice Richard at his peak for goodness' sake, and the latter would make wrestling appearances as a guest referee. Which says more about how hockey players were exploited by club owners than anything else. For those who might not know much about hockey, Maurice "Rocket" Richard is the most beloved Montreal Canadien of all-time (apologies to Jean Beliveau), which makes him something like the Babe Ruth of hockey. This famous short story by Rock Carrier sums it up, and it was made into a fantastic animated short by the NFB.

This podcast series provided a lot of laughs over the years and I made some very good friends out of it, which has been more than I could have expected from when I was re-entering the hobby a decade ago. I can only imagine this finale will be a very fun listen.

I'll predict Roddy Piper will rank higher than last time if enough voters examine his new footage.

When I dove into this period with your encouragement I was just amazed by this match, as I had never seen Strongbow do anything laudable in the ring. Valentine performed miracles here.

I will fully read all the publicly available documents but I"ll just say there's some confusion in this thread about who is morally or legally culpable of XYZ, above and beyond whether criminal charges are filed. There are many many unknown facts and a criminal prosecution has a much higher burden of proof than a civil suit. One thing is assuredly clear to me, however. It's that many more victims may well come forward.
