Who from the 2006 SC poll do you see not ranking at all this time?

[JerryvonKramer]

I've bolded those I see who are in real danger of not making the collective 100 this time around. I'm wondering how many of those Joshi workers are going to be casualties. I just don't see many discussing them at all:

What say you?

[Jimmy Redman]

I think Aja Kong and maybe Hokuto will make it on, but I wouldn't want to bet on any other women making it.

 

Of the names you didn't bold, I can see Terry Gordy, Ultimo Dragon, Shiro Koshinaka and Toshiyo Yamada (I assume not emboldening her was an oversight) slipping out.

[Bierschwale]

Could Ohtani miss entirely?

[Childs]

No way.

[Jimmy Redman]

No I think Ohtani has enough supporters. I know I'll be putting him quite high.

 

He'll certainly drop though.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Harley Race dropped from #12 all the way off. He'll take a dive, just like DK.

 

Benoit will probably take the biggest non-joshi dive, just because so many people will refuse to rank him altogether on principle.

 

Luchadors, John Cena and Jimmy Breaks will be the big winners in this poll, I think.

[funkdoc]

Owen Hart seems like a hugely obvious one JvK didn't bold

 

Benoit/Eddie/Liger are guys who will stay in the overall 100, but may fall farther than anyone else in the old top 20.

[Childs]

Benoit/Eddie/Liger are guys who will stay in the overall 100, but may fall farther than anyone else in the old top 20.

I suspect Liger holds on better than Race, Dynamite, Austin, Hokuto, Aja, Takada and maybe Brett.

[donsem43]

What about the Destroyer and Blue Panther? Destroyer was at his peak of internet buzz when this list was done. Panther will probably make a fair amount of people's lists, I just question if he'll get enough points to rank.

 

Strangely, for people in the 90's, I think both Atlantis and Rick Martel are both locks and probably make the top 50.

[Matt D]

The DVDVR sets made a big difference for some of the AWA guys at least.

[Childs]

Biggest DVDVR beneficiaries: Fujiwara, Lawler, Dundee, Fujinami, Choshu, Bock, Andre, Satanico.

 

Maybe Buddy Rose as well, even though Portland has yet to be released.

[NotJayTabb]

Of those not highlighted, I'd be interested to see if Psychosis still makes the 100.

[soup23]

You didn't bold Muto but I think he is in danger. I think for a lot of people that have watched Japanese footage he is too inconsistent.

[Loss]

I felt last time around like Jumbo was a foregone conclusion for the top spot and this time, I don't think anyone is, so that's a good thing.

[Grimmas]

Ultimo Dragon is going to have a rough time too.

[funkdoc]

ah yea i forgot some of those names in the top 20

 

it's just that people here really don't talk about Liger, good or bad, so he's easy to forget. i know he still has his top-20 believers though

 

also no way Psicosis makes the overall 100 this time, feels like he's gotten exposed in the eyes of those who watch tons of footage

[ohtani's jacket]

Panther is kind of interesting since in theory he's had a second career after unmasking in '08.

[Matt D]

I don't think Lothario will make this list, but I think he would make it on in 3 years or so.

[Grimmas]

I don't think Lothario will make this list, but I think he would make it on in 3 years or so.

The 2026 list is sure going to be interesting.

[JerryvonKramer]

Let me tell you where I am for 2026.

 

 

[donsem43]

Sasuke is right there on the edge unless people love his recent wacky MPro stuff.

 

Looking the other direction, Bockwinkel has to be the lowest ranked person with a chance at the top 10, maybe Fujinami. If not one of them it will probably be either Lawler or Casas

I think Lawler makes top ten, I don't think Bock will.

[Bierschwale]

He's only 98th to start, but it would be a legitimate shame if Togo didn't make it, after having his true career peak four/five years after the original list. I do think that he'll make it, but it struck me as worth pointing out.
