Pretty much every worker who got their start in the 70s seems to name Ray Stevens as the GOAT. Flair does. Kevin Sullivan does. I've heard numerous guys on shoots name Stevens too.

 

Just noticed he wasn't nominated.

 

Even though there is a footage issue, I think Stevens is just an interesting case in general since from the footage we have -- and we have hours of Stevens post-prime on tape -- it's very hard to see where they are coming from.

 

What is interesting though is that a lot of guys in the business also think Shawn Michaels is a contender for GOAT and superficially at least, he had similar skills to Stevens, i.e. he was a huge bumper who made other people look good. I wonder if there's anything to a Stevens vs. HBK comparison in terms of how they are perceived by the workers and how they are perceived by people who post on PWO.

Rusev.

 

(hey, he's better than a bunch of guys nominated already)

He's nominated.

 

However, i want to discourage people from nominating guys just because they are better than others nominated. We should be nominating people that we are considering voting for.

I'm nominating Fritz Von Erich now that he has a Microscope thread with match reviews. I'd been planning on making one for a while, but I got beaten to the punch. He who hesitates is lost.

I agree with this nomination, Fritz is almost certain to make my list. Three match reviews in this link

Nominate: Zack Sabre Jr

Was half of the best match I've ever seen live, and a guy who has been really good for several years. Has a shot at the 90-100 spots on my list.
