Jarrett gave them both their best ever matches, and the credit goes to him, not them. Super smart, underrated wrestler. Late career veteran face Jarrett had more great performances than people remember."

She has been the best joshi worker of the last decade... but yeah my best joshi worker ever is only top 15.

But I also have far more nostalgia and sentimentalism for NOAH bubble guys than pretty much anyone else so I'm fine with this as well. Tamon Honda is really great at the wrestling-they called him the god of amateur wrestling in the Samurai TV "where are they now?" video I watched recently. Anyway he took that talent and implented in a worked setting in a really neat fashion, busting out swank holds and suplexes and whatnot. Also him crying MAN TEARS during Kobashi's return match in 2007 is like, really emotional and stuff. I guess." GOTNW

So are we back to thinking he was carried by Rick Rude etc? http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/21083-certifiable-carry-jobs/?p=5565510 One of jdw's more famous beatdowns of jvk. When did Goldberg have any performances along the lines of Warrior vs. Rude or vs. Savage? Didn't he just work squashes to hide his limiations? Like, do you think the average Goldberg squash is better than something like Warrior vs. HTM IC title win? Yes his squashes were better. Goldberg squahes blow away the HTM squash easily. Great matches with Sid, DDP and Ogawa. He had an aura, intensity and all of his matches felt like big time prize fights.

Post prime. Snuka from late 70's till 83-84 was pretty damn great.

I think Goldberg is clearly better than Warrior and was actively good.

Does Mando>Eddie easily have the most high votes?

We are both smart.. sometimes.

I think some of your rankings are nuts too. Best not to dwell on them.

Something that some might not be aware of on that list of matches. I watched ALL of them with Steven (aka Grimmas) on a show we do together called the All Japan Excite Series. He, himself, gave 4.75 or 5 stars to almost all of them too. Part of this whole argument is because I know how highly Steven rates those matches and those Kobashi performances, and yet he's still basically turning from them to put Bret over. It's trying to understand his thought process really, how he can be the same guy who I've talked All Japan with for literally 18+ hours. I cannot square it really. Read Stacey's post again.

Come on, you know he's going to be higher than the likes of Stan Lane and Kenny Omega. I didn't vote for him, but he has a history of big matches.
