Alexander Navieb I've seen a lot of deathmatch, really crazy spots and gnarly moments but there's no wrestler that frightens me more than the things this guy does in the ring, of in his backyard, whatever, these russian deathmatch stuff are freaking nuts and I think deserves a nomination vs “Die Young” Sanchez, Slavic Hospital Death Brawl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27Vy_hQe6Mc vs The Moth, Soviet Tubes Deathmatch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpgeuopWcBE w/Alexey Khytrikh vs The Moth & Lankharn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLGZ4tgD_gs

Antonio Honda My favourite comedy wrestler ever but also a really amazing worker when had to work serious matches. It's fascinating to me that his comedy is very laughable even if I don't understand one single word in Japanese, and that humorus style makes his serious matches to feel epic and special. Matches: vs Dick Togo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRml6LaLut0 vs Danshoku Dino https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLo-SzR5_y0 vs Shuji Ishikawa https://youtu.be/EUUAmTCQHrE?t=3833

Daizee Haze I'm a little bit surprised to see Lacey nominated and not Daizee, as I find them similar in talent and cataloge of matches. Very smart worker, great grappling and the perfect oponent for the top women of SHIMMER. Also really liked her work in ROH in the Embassy and her matches there in a more exhibition/TV format. Matches: vs Lacey SHIMMER Vol. 1 w/Amazing Kong vs Lacey & Sara Del Rey, ROH Man Up 2007 vs Sara Del Rey 2 out of 3 falls 8/5/07 CHIKARA vs Ayumi Kurihara SHIMMER Vol. 32

Loved him in the indies, his work in Bloodsport, and I nominated him expecting that he'll be in NJPW or wherever at this point but he ruined himself and that was it.

This is a name I had forgoten and now I have to find space for him in my list I would add his feud with Fred Yehi, so damn good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYiNNGbuE-w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7mRtpUCrh4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzsbaZU-tBU

Marcela She's always discussed as the best woman wrestler from Mexico in the last decades, great wrestler that had matches so good that bring up complains their should've been main events in the Arena Mexico. Recommended Matches: vs Amapola (CMLL 12/08/2007) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X50hv4FTnTI vs Ayumi Kurihara (CMLL 03/09/2012) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5O08JiBOwY vs Syuri (CMLL 17/04/2015) vs Faby Apache (CMLL 01/01/2023)

Sarah Stock/Dark Angel Great worker from Canada who made a big impact in Mexico and SHIMMER, she has an amazing cataloge of matches I think are worth a nomination. vs Daize Hazee (SHIMMER Vol. 15) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-k5qu5LB1A vs Marcela (CMLL Aniversario 72) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0ipCQi866s vs Princesa Sugehit (CMLL Aniversario 82) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdzNMYMMPwA vs Io Shirai (Stardom Appeal The Heat 2015)

Nicole Matthews Surprised that she has not been nominated because Madison Eagles it's in, and she's her best rival, Joseph Montecillo has a really good video essay about their feud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LqK6NZn8Vw. Also, her tag with Portia Perez, Canadian Ninjas was amazing. I think she can also add to her resume that she had been consistently having good to great matches after SHIMMER. Recommended matches: vs Madison Eagles (SHIMMER Vol. 58, 67 and 77) vs Daniel Makabe (NEW 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdXaIJ6rBUQ vs Nicole Savoy (SHIMMER The Summit 2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2LQxTZfAkM vs Amira (BOOM 31 Dec. 2024) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw_KE2J0ln0

Virus vs Demus is another great Virus brawl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg1_rig0viY

Yep, that's the intro he got when the late Armando Gaytan worked at CMLL as presentator, not sure of the exact years. He described Virus as more deadly than a lot of diseases, for example here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5SCUQpVKEY the presentation is literally as follows: "the wrestling bioterrorist, devastating like dengue, stormy like cholera, deadly like AIDS, now with his new allies, bird flu and the nile mosquito, the calamity...Virus!"

Ok wrestler, and his character made him loved by the fans. He had great matches against Angle and Benoit, the tag with Bryan was also amazing in a point that I tought his career wasn't interesting anymore. No chance to be on my list, because is not that good for me, but not a bad wrestler by any means.

Tajiri vs Taka in 2013 is pretty awesome

People should watch the match against Satomura in the MYC as well. Great worker, the strikes, the suplexes, the charisma, Mercedes rules.

LA Park's record has only growth to be better and better during this years, his matches against Rush, Tanaka, Blue Demon, Eddie Kingston, etc are among the best of his career and it feels like he has more great matches in the tank for the next 5 years One of the best brawlers ever.

This is weird, but I became interested in Goldberg after his feud with Lesnar, loved the squash at Survivor Series and their match at Wrestlemania was awesome. I even liked his match against The Undertaker, maybe for all the wrong reasons, but I enjoyed it. Maybe the thing I like is that the audience is totally into his recent matches because the feeling that Goldberg is gonna win with his first move, or with ANY move after that is so big that it creates a fun spectacle. I never really get into his WCW squashes so I didn't really care for Goldberg and I hated his run in WWE in 2003, but I would like to watch some of his old matches with new eyes. From this thread I'm rescuing his matches against Jerry Flynn, Regal, DDP and Sting, anything else that's worth watching?
