If I was voting for personal favourites my top 5 would be:
1. Bret Hart
2. Randy Savage
3. CM Punk
4. Don Muraco
5. Jushin Liger
Obviously that is not the way I am voting. I think people can recognize who is the best, even if they like something else better.
I think we'll do a few of these versus threads as the project continues, but this is one that a few people have commented on.
So, make your case. Bobby or Ricky?
One match that I thought was outstanding and a surprise great match was the Royal Rumble match from 2010 against The Undertaker for the World Title. A spectacular performance, where Rey looked like he belonged. A stark contrast from the Kevin Nash matches.
Although he may not be the best of the All Japan guys, he is my favourite. I'll do a 1990's All Japan re-watch before we vote, so we'll see how high he can go.
Early prediction 25-50.
Well he will have 2015 as well, to help his case.
I don't see myself voting for him, unless 2015 is out of this world. I don't think he's the best wrestler of 2014, either. Not even the best New Japan guy.
He does have the great matches, that's for sure.
I think the argument for him is the small things he does. His character work is tremendous in the ring.
