Shit.... you're right.

I have to get out of the Honorable Mention mindset. I keep getting upset that guys are falling from my list in the Top 100. I should be happy they are in the Top 100!!!!

I love Ikeda and Ishikawa. I had them both in my 30s back to back. They are my gateway drug into BattlArts and if Phil Schneider tells me to watch a match with either of them in it, I don't hesitate. I had Kerry in my top half because I think he was a legitimately great wrestler who held his end with great wrestlers and also carried the load with lesser guys. Easily the best Von Erich ever.

I didn't realize I had so many guys not make the Top 100. I thought I was around 17-18 guys. Turns out it was 25. 1. Villano III 2. Pirata Morgan 3. Jerry Blackwell 4. Pat O Connor 1. Larry Zbyszko 2. Tommy Rich 3. Masa Fuchi 4. Butch Reed 5. Chris Adams 6. Michael Hayes 7. Dutch Mantel 8. Wahoo McDaniel 9. Dennis Condrey 10. Tommy Rogers 11. Jamie Dundee 12. Negro Navarro 13. Black Terry 14. Naoki Sano 15. Tracy Smothers 16. Gran Hamada 17. TAKA Michinoku 18. Steve Corino 19. Eric Embry 20. Perro Aguayo 21. Masa Saito 22. Chris Hero 23. Killer Khan 24. Tamon Honda 25. Jackie Fargo

3 of these made the final list

I am a huge Kerry advocate... about 1/3 great match theory; 1/3 charisma and 1/3 Texas. I may or may not have been his high voter in 206.

Luckily we're past the workrate mentality that included wisdom like "chops=great tehnical wrestling" and pretended amount of moves used is a valid criteria to judge wrestlers on. Exactly! I'm fact a wrestler should be able to get bonus points for having a compelling match doing nothing but punches!!!!

i have seem several lists and Lawler wasn't on half of them. Those of us who love Memphis are all in. Those who don't, didn't even consider him. Lawler won't be #1. All that matters is he was my #1.

You should list the hundred nuances of the Kings Road style as an exercise.

This X 1000. I have been a Motorhead fan my entire life. When I saw the documentary "Lemmy" I realized that Trips was as big a fan as I. And Trips did a ton for Lemmy and Motorhead. And Lemmy loved Trips. And with apologies to Austin Aries, Lemmy was the Greatest Person Who Ever Lived. So if Triple H loved Motorhead, and Lemmy loved Trips, there is no possible way Trips can be all bad. Lemmy really was one of the most real, authentic people ever. Seeing Lemmy and Trips talk about each other in various interviews, and seeing Trips give his eulogy at Lemmy's funeral made me like Trips a lot more as a human being. Does that mean Trips deserved to be in the Top 100? No. But it was interesting to me. And if you don't like Motorhead and you don't understand Lemmy? Well, I don't mean to be judgmental, but you deserve to get some sort of open sores all over your body which continue to worsen until you eventually expire in agony. And your last words should be "I was wrong about Lemmy. Please play "Killed By Death" at my funeral." There, I said it. "Killed By Death" will be played at my funeral.

I enjoyed the Carrot Top interview. The famous fans portion was a highlight but maybe that is just because I am a HUGE Queen fan. I marked out.

Probably not. I listened or participated in nearly every show Dean was on and I think Bix participated in the Segunda Caida shows.

Yeah Inoki getting a #1 vote is so weird to me.

Yes. Wait until some of those not-so-great guys show up. They stole Takada's spot damnit ! OK, you should unload on HHH. Feels like he shouldn't be higher than Takada.

What do you mean you will go hardcore? As opposed to softcore?

I love Hustle Takada. I love Hustle. I should have ranked Takada just for his Hustle outfits.

I'll admit it. After looking at the pictures.... I want to see "Lex Express" Lex Luger vs. Final Fantasy Okada.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Butch Reed is out. Reed, Perro and Wildfire. Today sucks.

I thought Okada and the new New Japan guys would have had some top ten votes.

Still hyped that Chicana and Morgan are also still out there.

On one hand, Brody is out. Great!!! On the other hand, Perro and Wildfire are out. FUCK!

Truth

Villano III hurts. I had him at 38 and he is the highest guy off my list. Also, Steven, you should find a wrestling pic of Luger. Old broken down Luger isn't humorous. It's depressing.

And Brody is down. All is right with the world.

Buddy Rose should be Top 100 easily.
