Timbo Slice Posted September 20, 2014 Report Posted September 20, 2014 Not seeing it. Doesn't really have the resume that stands up to the all-time greats that will be on here. That being said, his work with Barry Horowitz in 1995 is some of my favorite stuff from the time period. Always have a soft spot for Candido, but can't see him making my list. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted September 20, 2014 Report Posted September 20, 2014 His stock dropped with me after watching the SMW and ECW. His best stuff from each stuff was great, but he did not have the hidden gems a guy like that needs to break through. I do think he was sort of the master of the bullshit four-to-five minute match both as a guy working on top and a guy getting squashed. And there is a Whipwreck match from a fancam that everyone should watch to see what Candido could be capable of on his best nights. But really he was a guy who had a lot of the tools but never quite put them together and damn sure never got real opportunities. Quote

I haven't seen it used as a positive so far here. Quote
funkdoc Posted September 20, 2014 Report Posted September 20, 2014 scorpio, tajiri, mikey whipwreck if anyone nominated him... Quote
GSR Posted September 20, 2014 Report Posted September 20, 2014 Tajiri is the stand out for me on that one. Quote

Dylan Waco Posted September 20, 2014 Report Posted September 20, 2014 Bigelow is helped by the big ECW matches, but hurt if you watched everything like I did. Tajiri makes my ballot on the strength of ECW. So does Scorp really. Smothers is also helped. Quote
BillThompson Posted September 23, 2014 Report Posted September 23, 2014 Nope, I don't feel he was ever top 100 material at any point in his career. That doesn't mean I didn't have fun watching him, or that he wasn't talented. But, top 100, not even close. Quote
shoe Posted September 25, 2014 Report Posted September 25, 2014 He's a fun worker. Not going to sniff my 100. His Smothers series in SMW was really his highlight for high end matches. Quote
