That's a lot of #1 stumping for Bret.

He had a great brawl with Larry Z once. That's because Larry Z is a top 110 wrestler of all time. I have a list to prove it!

I have to watch that Strongbow vs Fuji match or whatever. I promised at least one Titan. I really kind of like the 70s Fuji vs Morales match though, so how bad could it be?

Should have we named the podcast Atom Splitters or Drink Spitters?

I'm very happy about Arn's placement. It was about ballots but also, to some degree, about average. I think he's someone that almost everyone saw as great and while he does have great matches, and even a few great singles ones, the broad weight of his case is on a different sort of consistency, one that is special and unique. People are free to disagree, but I think he represents a sort of specialness that expresses itself in every moment, tiny stars lighting up the night sky and adding a color and beauty all their own instead of giant suns turning night into day. Greatness comes in many forms and he's the absolute pinnacle of a certain sort of it. It's nice to see how much people value what he represents.

Whereas someone like Mick Foley just creeps me the fuck out. IDK I can't really vote for a guy taking all these stupid bumps when he's doing pathetic company shilling rants and is working the creepiest white male feminist gimmick ever. I mean I'd totally do it if I truly cared about his work but. Nah. edit: should note triple h being a 4/10 wrestler wouldn't classify under the dumb shit said by bret hart, seem about right really, might be slightly overrating him That 4/10 thing was referring to one of his matches, not him as a wrestler per say. Per se, lad, per se. I feel like that would have been an appropriate place for a Jim Barnett impression.

If nothing else, the fact that we had such a broad sourcing means that you'll at least be able to post it elsewhere without it being completely impenetrable. It goes against so many traditional schools of thought that it can't make anyone happy, in the best way.

Bock still lives.

Go with Haku instead: Casas is so awesome in that match.

I said exceptionally solid. I worded that more carefully than I did my defense of Bret. Man, I hoped Casas would make it to the top 20 but I'm glad that lots of people discovered him and enjoyed him so thoroughly. I just hope Bock doesn't drop next.

grggghhhghhhhhhh.

I'm not 100% sure I've heard an exceptionally solid defense of Bret yet, and that's including my own.

MAYBE, must maybe, my system has a few flaws too.

On mine at least, there's a link at the bottom left of the screen right above "time now" that says "Use Mobile Version"

That Blackjack Windham picture is awesome.

Will be very cool to see what the two of them could put together in 82.

I've liked all the Akiyama I've watched. I just thought that particular argument wasn't super strong. Other arguments are stronger.

If Akiyama was in those tags instead of Taue, would you think he was the weakest worker? (I know some people wouldn't, but you kind of get the point for why that argument is a little silly, right?)

I think Casas and Santo are wildly different wrestlers even though, at one point, they may have been very similar foils.

Bock and Casas survive another day.

As a kid I was so frustrated I got onto the game late and could only get the pink plastic shades things and not the silver ones.

Maybe if someone other than me voted for him? I even made a case for him too. (I know though. I hate that he went so low. At his best, he's just as charismatic as someone like Eddy).

He gets the indies at least. I am praying to the wrestling gods that Casas vs Hech from last night drops soon.

Oh wait, I found this. But you have to put up with the Patriots. Sorry.
