Someone I have overlooked is Fit Finlay, I watched about a handful of Finaly matches yesterday. I remember liking him as a kid with SmackDown. Interested in checking out his World of Sport and going more into his WCW work. He feels like Greg Valentine where he feels rugged but, also can cowardly character stuff. The PWG match with Kevin Steen and CWA match with Eddie Gilbert are both really good.

Listened to the Alan4L and Case podcast talking about Nakajima and he is someone I havent considered for this I think but, he has some grrat stuff. He is someone I might look closer into. I am looking into KENTA, Go Shiozaki, and some of his contemporaries career so he might make it and it might make inspire me. He is a wrestler who I consider very good and have multiple great matches in NOAH (2014-2022). Is one of my all time favorite matches BURNING vs. Kensuke Office from SEM/Kensuke Office SEMex. In Korakuen Hall ~Take The Dream Vol. 6~. Two of my friends. Rachel and Alicia from Kick Out 2.99 really connected to him from a character/story arc standpoint.

With non-modern footage I think some French Catch wrestlers might benefit. Indie luchadors will benefit especially so many of the matches being fancammed abd uploaded or going on Mas Lucha in full. Joshi is going to benefit from the amount GAEA archives being uploaded with the ability to watch things in context. https://youtube.com/@gaeaism4574?si=6Ky7zqyeyRMrpvVZ I think Místico could be someone that does well given how well his second CMLL ace is going. I agree with WALTER and Will Ospreay going up too. Moxley's has a better case too. Swerve Strickland is an interesting case of someone maybe to have the back of my my mind. He has the Dante Fox Hell of War match, very good AEW run, and top runs in DEFY since than. Mike Bailey who will make my list might be someone who has his case for me aswell. I think theres also wrestlers who will make my list who didn't debut till after 2016 (Daniel Garcia and Mei Suruga). I can maybe see some making a case for Tam Nakano and Mad Dog Connelly too.

Little Guido/Nunzio is great, not sure if he'll make the lower 15 on my list but, he's so good at finding doing little things to make his opponent look more powerful. 2/12/99 Chris Chetti vs. Little Guido 2/10/01 Little Guido vs. Low Ki 9/12/08 Claudio Castagnoli vs. Little Guido Really liked the James Stone vs. Yoshihiro Takayama match, his UWFI stuff has been so interesting with him coming off as heelish there some

I think the AEW run has been good and has some great stuff as character. I think she can sometimes can be a bit too dependent on her opponents adding something new to her formula that working to her opponents sometimes on a watching week to we level. Her Athena match is one of my favorite matches of the year anywhere. I think it's really cool to her travel too. In terms of all time womans wrestlers, I think Mickie Knuckles might be the greatest United States woman's wrestler ever currently. On my list I have her 80-100 (with proabably Dump Matsumoto, Mei Suruga, and Chihiro Hashimoto). I think she has a slight disadvantage compared to other joshi because so much of her career as been in tight television/ppv wrestling. I think her best comp might actually might be Sting (who will also proabably rank around that range). I think both rule, are great at the character/emotional connection stuff but, on a closer look from a week to week perspective can be inconsistent.

I think all three have a very similar case (strong main eventer for over 10 years and great tag team wrestlers), all three top guys, andh had feeling the company back them up to being a top star representing that companies house style (for good and bad). They also feel like they can inconsistent and sometimes feel like they have repetition (which can be good and bad) in their matches. All three are making my 100. Bonus points if you have a ranking of them.

Hoping to watch more Killer Kowalski, I think he might have a kind of struggles from a lack of footage but, Really interesting match with from 1991

My current top 10 Bryan Danielson Chigusa Nagayo Dr. Wagner Jr HARASHIMA Jumbo Tsuruta Kenta Kobashi LA Park Mayumi Ozaki Minoru Suzuki Ricky Steamboat Wrestlers I could see making my top 10 Aja Kong Akira Taue Ricky Morton Yuji Nagata

Might try to watch more Hotta, I like her vs. Aja Kong

Jimmy Valient is a fun wrestler from what I have seen but, is not someone I am proabably not considering. For context I have only seen very limited amounts of his work and that is with him as the Boogie Woogie Man stuff. With wrestlers like Jimmy Valient and Big Daddy, there's light and simple fun wrestling factor (what I call county fair style wrestling). I think if I were to watch him real time everyweek or had to pay to watch his matches I would have less patience for his act but, I think it's fun and comforting. Here's a match with vs. George South in 2002 that I think is super fun. Him and Ricky Morton have a match with George South and Stan Lane (not sure if Fantastics, Stan Lane or some other Stan Lane) in the rain. I think says good about all four that despite their older age and this could easily feel sad, they kept the crowd and me engaged during this match. Also I stand by Jimmy Valient and Someone vs. Young Bucks would be a super fun match.

Someone I'm considering for my list with other limited footage candidates (Rene Ben Chemoul and Aquiles o Matador). Herman Rohde (Buddy Rogers) vs. Ash Mahoney in a good+, clipped match from the 1940s.

Dr. Wagner Jr feels like a number 1 for me right now. Here's something I wrote when one of my buddies why. I think he's really cool and consistently enjoyable to great perfomances everytime I watched him. He's in 4 top 100 matches ever for me vs. LA Park in TxT (my number 5 best match ever and pick for best lucha match ever) vs. Blue Demon Jr (#9 in my GME) https://vk.com/wall-4499945_14911 w/ Blue Panther, & Principe Joe vs. El Hijo Del Santo, Felino & Super Astro (didn't watch it before making a GME list but, would rank preety well) vs. LA Par-K - AAA (ranked 86 in my GME) Based on what I've seen even in matches that I think are not good, I find something in perfomance that I enjoy (him vs. The Jason in BJW, Jushin Thunder Liger at Fighting Spirit, his tag match in STARDOM). He also the type of wrestler I would want to see against anybody just see how it would go (the Yoshihiko rule). I think he has great longevity, has a very good match in May 1992 El Hijo del Santo, Gran Hamada & Solar vs. Babe Face, Dr. Wagner Jr. & Negro Casas And very good (maybe borderline great match) July 2025 Dr. Wagner Jr. vs. Villano V Jr. in IWRG I also think he's really cool and has great aura (his matches feel big and important even via facam). Bad Medicine is such a great theme song and his entrance is so cool. I don't understand Spanish much but, the angles I have seen be apart of angles are cool and amazing distinct promo voice. He does great character work as rudo or tenichio. I also lean towards lucha brawling with with of showmanship is one of my preferred types of wrestling. He feels like a very me wrestler. Jumbo Tsuruta, Bryan Danielson, and Mayumi Ozaki feel like #1 contenders for me but, he feels the most me core. Another cool match I recommend is Dr. Wagner Jr. & Mistico vs. Averno & Ultimo Guerrero. He's so cool.

Hoping to maybe consider maybe watching more of him, watched him vs. Toshiaki Kawadahad maybe the best match of 2003. He played that he was out of his depth some but, also a great overdog in some parts.

I like think of Fuminori Abe has a Munenori Sawa (I wrestler who I really, really like) mentee/buddy. He might someone I might consider putting in the 90s of list. He might have best rope rebound version I have ever seen. Fuminori Abe is so charming and avant-garde. One of the matches i go to his matches vs. Blanco (a swing). Also really liked Astronauts vs. Strong BJ.

Him and Colt Cabana were my gateway to ROH wrestlers in 2011. There's a certain charm to him. I really liked his 2021-2022 return. And a great watching live wrestler He feels like a wrestler who proabably make my list if it wasn't for the bad stuff he did outside the ring.
