Boss Rock said: "The hot tag of the team. Terrific offensive wrestler and high-flier. Also thrives as a heel but his exciting offense is easy to root for. Part of some of the greatest spotfests ever."

Boss Rock said: "Controversial but arguably one half of the best tag team of the 2010's and honestly becoming one of the best tag teams of all-time. Thrives as a heel but is an underrated face in peril and seller. His injured back arc in 2018 led to great matches against Roppongi 3k, Guerrillas of Destiny (who usually suck), and Golden Lovers."

Quentin said: "Baffling this guy hasn’t gotten more opportunities the last 3 years but someone who’s individual performances in a match have never disappointed me. One of the most unique people to come out of that peak EVOLVE era. Very low key amount of longevity, he’s having matches I would call very good going back to 2012. Wish he got to do more but one of my favorites of the last few years who I think highly of enough to sneak on at #100"

Jetlag said: "If there is one French worker that absolutely everyone should check out, it's the Little Prince. An absolutely mindblowing athletic worker, who did stuff in his matches nobody in the world now could pull off half as cleanly. Makes the most agile luchadores look flat footed. What's more important is that he was also a tremendous babyface who always sells and works hard to have competitive matches. Looks great from the 1960s up to the 80s. Apparently he also had some TV matches in Britain that I'd love to see pop up in the next 5 years."

Elliott said: "Forgotten worker from the lost era of Joshi. I remembered being a big fan back in 00-02 when I was keeping up with the Joshi scene and watched a few matches recently and was happy to find that my memory of an awesome worker looks to be true. She's a crazy good athlete and a wicked bumper with a real charisma. Was great in garbagy brawls but could work the mat and throw out bombs with the best of them. Someone pretty high on my list of people to dive into for this project. On the short list for coolest name in wrestling history, but makes it impossible to search for her matches hahahaha! "

I said: "Was a huge break out star in CMLL, then NJPW, then NXT, then went to the WWE and it hurt him and now I can't wait to see what they do next. Has had some of the greatest matches in WWE history, as well as classics all over. A very clever worker who does things you don't expect, but completely makes sense. On the larger side, but can fly like anyone. Let's not forget his charisma! I guess it depends on the next five years, but a huge candidate!"

1 eastern, we will be watching for our first watch party. If you don't want to voice chat in the discord, you can still watch the footage and use a regular old chat here: https://sync-tube.de/rooms/rLzjEAJga

start it.

That should be a thread on the main board! Very valuable!

People forget if you have a variable amount of people you can vote for my job gets harder

Yeah, every week we'll do about 2 hours on a particular candidate. We can change that in the future if need be, plus supplemental ones people can do whatever! You are in for a treat with Jaguar!

I trust I liked it at the time is all.

Why would you complain during the start of the match? We don't know the future at that point and know that it will be abandoned and be useless until the match ends.

I started my database of ranking matches over 7 stars in 2013, anything before that I discount. Memories are known faulty, known to change over time, and are not reliable in anyway. Having that database is cheat code against it.

It's all happening here on discord: https://discord.gg/2tqvKBK2WA The first one will be on Saturday (17th) at 1 eastern, for a couple of hours. Watching some Jaguar Yokota. Join us if you want, either voice, chat, or just listening on while on mute.

I so love this post. I'm going to have to really think about this to see where I stand this time, but a great basis to look at.

I fucking LOVE that match. Amazing performance by both.

Well no time machine, so we can't really show he'd be Angle. However, the matches I'd have to really go look them up. I don't keep notes on matches I don't like, so not sure which they are. It's usually arm work though, that goes absolutely nowhere.

So many of the first 15 minutes of his matches is completely useless and pointless to the rest of the match (not always but often). I think Flair is saved a lot from the era he was trained in, if Flair came around in 2000 he's be pretty identical to Angle (I think). Although Flair does have great instincts, which does help to limit the issues with the lack of thought.

I know I am not the only one who put Flair higher on their list then they truly wanted to, but felt some kind of obligation to put them at a certain level. Flair will not be top 10 for me this time. Flair is in the line of Race, Angle, etc... a great worker who leaps off the page and is loaded with great matches, but is not the smartest wrestler. No idea where I'll rank him, that's going to take a lot of thought.

I wish we could discuss more how someone performs in the match, then the quality of the match itself.

What's so awesome is that Satomura added to her case over the last 5 years and kind of seems undeniable at this point.

An upper half person for me in 2016, and they will most likely make my list again. To me, one of the greatest underneath wrestlers and the BEST at hope spots. Just love watching them as a face. As a heel also super impressive. Also they stayed good for a lot longer than we thought.

In the Charlotte match Trish proved she was on that level, just not got the opportunities to prove it until then. Most of her comeback was tags and such, the Charlotte was the real only big singles chance she got and BOY was it great. I love Trish, and Stacey is giving me the recs to watch. Her case is compelling and the ultimate great wrestler over greatest career candidate.
