HenryHeadCheese Its Me: One of the best few match wrestlers I have seen. He's proabably going to be in the 90s of my list. His selling is amazing! He's also crafty and knows when to place his sneaky attacks. Great emoting. Very smart at using rounds. He is getting me interested in watching more Brazilian wrestling. If anybody has matches I'm missing feel free to share. I could only find 9 matches of his matches on tape. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7K3Vop0Eb1Rvd5G6epz6mmSO48QY99GF&si=qMI-pLX1svZRDVif Match recs vs. Ursus O Bárbaro (GDR, 1980s) vs. Mr. Argentina, Chain Match (GDR, 1987) vs. Michel Serdan, Steel Cage (GDR, 1988) vs. Peão de Rodeio Fonseca (BWF, 1998)

HenryHeadCheese Its Me: A great bumbler and stooge. I feel like I can probably watch any part his over 40+ year career (had a fun match Chief Jay Eagle in 1985 and was fun in GCW Senior Scramble in 1985) and find something where did something unique that was cool and/or made his opponent seem cooler. During my watches/rewatches for this project two of the job guys that stood out the mostt are him and late 80s WWF Buddy Rose. I have great enjoyment for WCW C-Show Squash matches and George South is in a lot of them. He has alot of fun and interesting outside the matches, fun character stuff and some very good competitive matches. The without a mat mini-documentary is also great look Match Recs vs. Chief Jay Eagle (1985) In 4 parts https://youtu.be/7FKhfcsw1K4?si=ypPGB6UxlCvUkgfH https://youtu.be/7BbxxCUDWeY?si=Xn1fEVpl9EgnetVJ https://youtu.be/BS8JvEDtgtE?si=Sydb4nprQXtGRVLF https://youtu.be/Dckrvh8ADD0?si=3oKojTEtf5TpxWgq Vladimir Petrov vs. Alan West, Eddie Roberts & George South (JCP, 1/10/87) https://youtu.be/nXmFnf1uGT4?si=HHiU6tOyxWVxmMGo vs. Ric Flair (NWA WCW, 11/12/88) https://youtu.be/10ih_V2VM3Y?si=2jjAjulcPFYmjcJN vs. Junkyard Dog (WCW, 12/22/90) https://youtu.be/f5OnEqby7CI?si=5ZCQJBzfFTT5SzsH&t=580 vs. Dustin Rhodes (WCW Prime, 2/6/95) https://youtu.be/BhpTdJWCOHY?si=0AZIi2Xuk29kN8V- vs. Jimmy Valiant (SSW, 5/??/02) https://youtu.be/VWOVr0-RdRw?si=0NG20AvIhZ1wb_ml vs. Jake Manning (Without The Mat) https://youtu.be/lYMZ-YEJqyw?si=G5sUQo1Ly7JkcI-i vs. Action Mike Jackson (SCI Rumble, 3/4/23) https://youtu.be/m3lj9kly5F0?si=S1OBVhvlBOmeoUm2 vs. Nick Gage (AML The Day After, 11/27/22)

HenryHeadCheese Its Me said: One of the best comedy wrestlers of all time, he can also play serious and ocassionally angry very well. An all time great mask design and theme too.

HenryHeadCheese Its Me on discord said: A great regional ace of the Midwest independent wrestling scene. I think even without much being in the midwest wrestling scene, I think his presence comes with feeling like a big deal and often as a technical wrestling overdog. He plays the bad guy so well. He’s so great at the details of wrestling, little things, and ring positioning of wrestling. He also comes off as the kind of wrestler that tries to work to his opponents strengths and making matches feel unique. Remarkable consistently trustworthy on having an at least good match or performance with anybody. He's In one my all time favorite matches ever (#49 on my GME) list vs. Christian Rose, the match that takes during a thunderstorm and power outage with phone lighting in a tournament finals. Hoping to check more of his 3XW, NWL, Saint Louis Anarchy, Journey Pro,and other work.

HenryHeadCheese Its Me on discord said: "I just saw our last Rene Ben Chemoul match (it's a range of 25+ matches between 59 and 78) Here's my last thoughts on him for now: He, more than anyone except for maybe Delaporte and Bollet, is simply the perfect French Catch wrestler. The ideal. He carried with him technique, mirth, cleverness, innovation, a deep, deep connection with the crowd and the ability to conduct them. There was elements of the theater or the circus to him, but such deep athleticism and that extra gear that he could take it to when he was getting revenge. He could draw sympathy and could elicit deep belly laughs. He's not going to come off as quite as tough and hard hitting as someone like Corn or LeDuc. he's not as spectacular as Petit Prince or as technical as Saulnier or Mantopolous, but he encompasses the glitz and the glamour and the sheer showmanship of it all, while still possessing all of the skill. I'm not going to say he'd be higher on my list than Corn or LeDuc but I think he represents the spirit and whimsy of French Catch more than them. (It doesn't mean that it necessarily works better for my list, etc., etc.)" - MattD (10/2/22) ". . . He should be nominated. He eats up guys so so so much so I don't think people will go for him but you can't question both the skill and how he represents a mood that feels uniquely french to me and very iconic." - Matt D (8/19/25) https://youtu.be/jWuhTErkFYE?si=XUVySLCtPU6VA2k9 https://youtu.be/xjRKge5L8z0?si=IJ_e5MP_VMT8TxZc Match Recs Rene Ben Chemoul vs. Joachim La Barba (French Catch, 9/20/57) Rene Ben Chemoul vs. Gilbert Cesca (French Catch, 11/26/59) Rene Ben Chemoul & Gilbert Cesca vs Anton Tejero, & Pancho Zapata (French Catch, 3/12/65) Inca Peruano & Anton Tejero vs Rene Ben Chemoul & Walter Bordes (French Catch, 4/21/69) Rene Ben Chemoul & Bob Plantin vs Pierre Lagache & Rene Caballec (French Catch, 4/4/78)

josephweirdness on discord said: Rapidly making his name as one of the best independent wrestlers of the 2020s. Already amassed an impressive repertoire of matches both on the indies and in smaller TV spots, demonstrating the versatility of his traditionally minded southern rasslin’-esque style. Arguably best in the world in multiple years of the 2020s (some have cited 2022 and 2025), and still actively building a case as both a top championship main eventer and fun midcard enhancement talent on national TV. vs. Anthony Henry (ACTION 1/20/23) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAOZKOEGUQA vs. Slim J (ACTION 4/4/24) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7T5nMIAeEA vs. LaBron Kozone (DPW 12/15/24

josephweirdness on discord said: Longtime tag team partner of nominee Dominic Garrini, and has arguably eclipsed him in stature and output in the 2020s. Had a great title reign as ACTION Champion, several strong outings as a singles wrestler in DPW, and in a variety of styles from more mat-based and striking bouts against the likes of Adam Priest to just out and out bloodfests such as in his Violence is Forever gimmick matches. vs. Adam Priest (ACTION 8/12/22) w/Dominic Garrini vs. The Workhorsemen (DPW 3/26/23) vs. Daniel Makabe (SCI 7/12/24)

josephweirdness on discord said: Best known for the years-long CWF Mid-Atlantic Title reign where he had lengthy epics that probably shouldn’t work as well as they do. Trevor’s the glue holding all those together as well as demonstrating a lot of versatility, whether it’s emphasizing the more comedic aspects of his character in national TV settings or returning to a much more stripped down and grounded style since returning to the independents. vs. Andrew Everett vs. Cedric Alexander (PWG 3/28/14) vs. Andrew Everett (CWF Mid-Atlantic 7/6/16) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFiCScoESwE vs. Jackson Drake (Elevation Pro 7/27/24)

xionmax from discord said: Half of the second (I think?) iteration of AJW's Black Pair and one of the meanest heels of her time. Be it choking people over the ropes a la Brody King, using objects behind the ref like Abdullah the Butcher or simply swarming down an opponent she always felt oppressive in her matches, a true force of nature.

My nominee. Dorada is as great or greater than the guy who used this name prior. Although he's only really been around for 5 years, the last 3 he's been in my top ten wrestlers of the year. He feels like this generation's version of Rey Mysterio Jr. Yes, his high flying is the best, but he's a great all around luchador as well. If you aren't watching current CMLL, he is the reason to watch. Match recs: vs Titan, CMLL, September 29, 2023 vs Bandido, ROH, June 17, 2025 vs Neon, CMLL, July 25, 2025

My nominee Sumie Sakai may be more well known as a veteran indie wrestler especially in ROH, but that was way past her prime. Her early 2000s work in JD Star is the real shit. Her feud with The Bloody was outrageous, and she was the perfect underdog babyface with many classics. Don't discount her for seeing her post prime. Match Recs: vs Momoe Nakanishi, JD Star, August 1999 vs Megumi Yabashita, JD Star, March 18, 2001 w/ Hiroyo Muto vs The Bloody & Fang Suzuki, " LSD 2001 Match: No Rules Falls Count Anywhere Weapons Death Match", JD Star, July 22, 2001

My nominee: She may only be 23, but she's been wrestling for 11 years already in Stardom. She has become not only an elite High Speed wrestler, but has moved up the card to excel in big matches. Her team/feud with Momo Watanabe is great great stuff. She's a low end candidate, but I do have her as a top 25 wrestler in the world for the last 5 years, so that deserves consideration. Match Recs: vs Momo Watanabe, Stardom, January 8, 2022 vs Hazuki vs Mercedes Mone', NJPW, April 8, 2023 vs Mayu Iwatani, October 1, 2023 vs Mei Surugua, Gatoh Move, October 30, 2025 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqHaen4amqQ

My nominee. Lacey is one of the smartest wrestlers since Nick Bockwinkel and she really shines in her SHIMMER run as a top notch heel. She cheats, she lies, and she works her ass off. Seriously, if she didn't retire she could had had the women's revolution with her as a top star, but instead she was smart and become a doctor or something. Her ROH was great too, as was her run in IWA-MS and the other indies.
