Jimmy Redman Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Peeps inhabiting my bubble at the moment: Yamada, Chiggy, Batista, Morrison, Ted, Hennig, Perrito, Masa Fuchi, Ibushi, Porky, Asuka, Masters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliott Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I have 54 people competing for my last 6 spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 For me it's more about guys who I know should be there but I need to see if I can see enough footage in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Guys I couldn't place right now that I might want to place: Joe, Ki, Styles, Saint, McManus, Dutch Mantel, Matt Hardy, Gino Hernandez, Perro Sr., Super Astro, Van Buyten, Jack Brisco (don't think I'm getting to him), Destroyer (kind of gave up there), Scorpio, Little Guido, Tajiri. I'm sure there's more. I'm not quite there with Rudge, for instance. Or Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryvonKramer Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Currently these are the bottom 8 of my 100: Davey Boy Smith 4 4 3 0 5 6 22 Bobby Heenan 5 8 0 0 4 3 20 Bobby Fulton 5 2 4 0 5 4 20 John Tenta 4 6 0 0 4 6 20 Dutch Mantell 5 3 2 0 6 3 19 Ernie Ladd 5 5 0 0 5 4 19 Jim Brunzell 6 1 3 0 3 6 19 Jimmy Valiant 3 6 1 0 6 3 19 Every new person I rate above 19 knocks one of these dudes off. The acutal order is: 100. Valiant 99. Ladd 98. Mantell 97. Brunzell 96. Tenta 95. Heenan 94. Fulton 93. Bulldog With a lot of guys still left to put through, it is almost certain that these 8 guys are going to fall off. "Danger zone" after that is these six guys: Lex Luger Butch Reed Jim Duggan The Sheik Kurt Angle Big Show I'd give at least one or two of those guys a shot at making the cut.

NotJayTabb Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I've got the following guys battling for the final 10 places (in no order): Steve Grey, Terry Rudge, the Barbarian, James Mason, Scott Steiner, Ikuto Hidaka, Ted DiBiase, Juventud Guerrera, Batista, LA Park, Mat Hardy, Adrian Street, Mick Foley I say this with the disclaimer that Grey and Rudge are likely to go higher, as they're only on the bubble due to my not having watched enough footage of them yet, but that's going to change in the next month. I also think Mason and Barbarian are more likely to place than the others, but the rest are all about level at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Makes me pretty sad to see an awesome all-time worker like Ted rubbing shoulders with the likes of The Barbarian and Scott Steiner in some people's lists. What the fuck has happened to the world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Okay, with the last update all 14 guys fell off, and some other huge casualties, which actually break my heart. Here were the last four: Bruno Sammartino Jake Roberts Killer Khan Robert Gibson PAINS me to see Bruno go. Next 4 bubble: Steve Grey 8 2 4 6 1 6 27 Buzz Sawyer 6 4 2 6 5 3 26 Dick Slater 6 1 3 6 6 4 26 Ron Garvin 7 2 5 3 5 3 25 I may need to find a way to increase Garvin's score, but I don't know where I can find the points. +1 at most for G, and maybe +1-2 on V? Dunno, but Garvin is currently 100. Next 5 after that: Kerry Von Erich 4 4 4 6 5 4 27 Abdullah the Butcher 4 7 2 0 5 9 27 Chavo Guerro (Sr) 6 2 2 6 8 3 27 Randy Orton 6 0 3 8 3 7 27 Sabu 5 5 3 3 4 7 27 Considering that I have yet to rank Fujinami, Choshu, Kawada, Regal and some other pretty big names, all of these are currently in danger. I might have to make some moves to "save" Garvin, but then again as Nick Cave once said "I don't believe in an interventionist God". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Looks like I forgot to add this one to the spreadsheet, even though he had a score already: Kuniaki Kobayashi 8 2 5 3 2 5 25 Another one I'd like to find room for. But with that mistake, he is 100 and Garvin is 101. Trouble here is that Garvin already has credit for Valentine stuff in his V score, and even if that 89 match is really awesome (as it probably is), it's only buying him +1 max and I don't think 26 is gonna do it by the time I'm fully done. Could possibly extend the L score to 1989, that gives him another +1 Garvin would cap out then at 27 with the highest of the B scores. Could be enough. We'll see.

Jimmy Redman Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 At this point I've almost decided on the 100 I'm going to rank (putting them in order is another story). But I still have like 8-10 guys competing for those final two spots. Might have to do a dedicated bubble watching session and just bite the bullet. Ordering is what's going to kill me.

InYourCase Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Bubble Guys: Milano Collection A.T., Great Sasuke, Kevin Steen, Matt Sydal, Yoshihito Sasaki, Homicide, James Gibson, and Bobby Fish That's 8 guys fighting for four spots. Leaning towards Milano, Sasaki, Homicide, and Gibson as the four guys to get those spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 So I had 82 that were easy picks for me and 18 spots to fill after that. 20 got the shaft. Alexander Otsuka Jack Brisco (Didn't get to see enough of him) Carlos Colon (Didn't get to see enough of him) Harley Race Buddy Rogers (Didn't get to see enough of him) Bruno Sammartino Koji Kanemoto Little Guido Matt Hardy Mistico Naoki Sano Rick Rude Owen Hart Sheamus Shinsuke Nakamura Tamon Honda Villano IV Wahoo McDaniel Yoshiaki Yatsu Yoshihiro Takayama Interestingly enough, I don't know who was really the last one cut (either Rude or Brisco, but a lot had to do with me messing up my spreadsheet), but it was Dump Matsumoto before I found an incorrect entry in my list. Also, thinking back as I went through the list again to make sure I didn't overlook someone, it's weird to see who ended up staying on through the process and who were easy tosses (Somehow Christian was an easy toss for me, as was Kensuke Sasaki) but that was mainly because I didn't think of them as Top 100 material right away, and I don't think they had enough to make a late run when I was messing around with lucha, as four guys in particular ended up making my ballot for good in the last week. Most likely taking spots from Rude, Brisco, Takayama and Race. Mistico sticking around for as long as he did was a mystery to me, but his peak run was a vivid memoryand got me back into lucha. Same with Villano IV, as the longer it goes past, the Panther apuestas match looks like an all-time great match with an absolutely killer stretch run, but he didn't have enough for me like III did. Honda was extremely enjoyable, but not enough, and Sheamus, Hardy and Guido were all right there in the run for sneaking on the bottom of my list just because their work was so tight, but the lucha guys really started breaking up the ability to get guys like them on the list. Now I actually have to rank THIS 100, which will be a chore. The tag rankings, where I got to my Top 25 pretty easily, took way less time. Final cuts there were The Shield, The Freebirds, Cody & Goldust, The Jumping Bomb Angels, London & Kendrick and Jumbo & Taue, with The Shield and The Freebirds the closest to making it.

Grimmas Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Are your top 80 settled already or do you just know that they're in somewhere? I have 80 definite. Then I have 40 guys squeezing into 20 spots. I should note these aren't the 80-100 spots. They are like the 78-98 spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Not really Bubble again, but guys who I just didn't have enough time to do a last lap with. The ones that I just didn't feel confident enough to place. Someone like Jack Brisco could have been, I don't know, 40 on the weighted scale of footage, but I just didn't feel like I had enough of a grasp of him. Villano III, Keith Haward, Van Buyten, Leo Burke, Espanto, Jr., Gino Hernandez, Jerry Estrada, Little Guido, Super Astro, Alan Sargent, Ron Starr, Jack Brisco.

ohtani's jacket Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I like a lot of those workers but only really Villano and Brisco have pressing claims for a top 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I like a lot of those workers but only really Villano and Brisco have pressing claims for a top 100. Villano III was on there until the last second, when I was entering my list, and I finally decided that I couldn't justify him if pressed. He was more or less the only person I felt like that about. He was on based on glimpses I'd seen and rep. No one else on my list was like that. I just couldn't do it. My list is probably going to give you an aneurysm, OJ. Sorry.
