Parv said he ranked Rick Steiner based on his top ten matches and nothing else. Although he used BIGLAV, so that might discount what he said.

It's not that. It's going by only looking at the great matches and that being the whole case.

This is why great match theory sucks.

Are you discounting Harper's indie run? I took Tenta over Yamada and Morishima, as both of those didn't make my list and Tenta did.

You voted for Rick Steiner?

Yeah, that one is a surprise to me. I blame myself for not pimping Tenta enough.

He was influenced by Patt O'Connor and he was an influence on Bret Hart. " Dave Musgrave (not the high voter) "I wish there was more footage of his work available. It’s a shame to hear about the Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling video library being destroyed in a fire. We can only imagine what classics were worked. From the footage that is available, Leo Burke is clearly a clever wrestler. He was a great old school wrestler. Bret Hart learned a lot from watching and with Leo Burke. Bret Hart even mentioned in a Slam! Wrestling article online that he thinks Leo Burke is one of the best Canadian wrestlers ever. Burke had great performances in Canada and in Puerto Rico." stunning_grover Recommended Match: Leo Burke and Rocky Delasara vs Yoshiaki Fujiwara and Nobuhiko Takada (7/24/1984)

Good analysis. Pure luchadors on the top 100 range from 6 to 12.

Ono always look at least really good and his late career "why does this guy wear boxing gloves now" run is out of this world great and his match vs. Ikeda is probably the greatest under 5 minute match ever."

I can easily see the case for Callihan above Candido. Neither made my list though.

The thing about UG is that he does have that Atlantis match which is an all-timer for me. Put that with the tag work in the early 2000's and I can see the case.
