Best Wrestlers Who Didn't Get Nominated

[JerryvonKramer]

I've just realised Canadian Strongman Dino Bravo wasn't nominated.

[Matt D]

Great. Now do your best to forget it.

[JerryvonKramer]

His late 70s tag team run with Dominic Denucci is underrated.

Dino Bravo had a very good career before he went to WWF.

[Mr. Lacelle]

I voted for him on the strength of his Montreal run which I loved. Didn't even realize he wasn't nominated

[Matt D]

I was mostly kidding. I really like the Blackwell match, but it's a hell of a decline.

[JRGoldman]

Did Umaga not get nominated, or am I just unable to use a search function effectively?

[Dylan Waco]

He did not

[JRGoldman]

I wouldn't have voted for him, but I feel as though he would have gotten some love. He was in a lot of people's match of the decade. I guess it's sort of noteworthy and interesting that two of John Cena's five best matches were against people that went un-nominated. That feels like a credit to Cena's skill that couldn't really be addressed until after we saw how this all shook out.

[El McKell]

What's the other top five Cena match against someone who wasn't nominated? Maybe I'm forgetting something obvious.

[JRGoldman]

I'm high on the Khali match.

[Grimmas]

I wish I nominated Little Tokyo.

[Eegah]

Minis definitely got short changed in the process.

Dorada and Virus made the top 100, that's the best one could expect. Maybe Espectrito or Sagrada Jr...

I was just grabbing the low hanging fruit pun.

[funkdoc]

wait dorada didn't even come close to the 100 i thought

[Grimmas]

Yeah... oops. He was in mine.

[El-P]

Takako Inoue, obviously. My fault.

[JDerbyshire]

He wouldn't have made my #100 and he has a LOT of crap to his name, especially in recent years, but given the length of his run and so-called 'recency bias' & 'mainstream US bias', I was a little surprised Kane didn't receive a nomination.

Jody Fleisch is also someone who might have come under consideration, especially since Jonny Storm randomly ended up on the ballot. Hung like a horse as well - one of my more bizarre wrestling memories is talking to Steve Corino in a locker room while Fleisch paced around naked, dick swinging up and down like a drawbridge.

I'm sorry but I have to bump this quote up. What a glorious piece of writing.

 

LIKE A DRAWBRIDGE.

[BuryWindham]

I missed the window to nominate him but definitely Tojo Yamamoto the guy was a pure heat magnet one of the best heels of the era.

[RyanClingman]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned him yet, but it's pretty crazy that Baby Face was never nominated. I would rank his work above that of Dynamite, at least from what I have seen.

[goc]

Yea I think I might have voted for him as well, I had La Fiera vs. Baby Face as my favorite match of the 80s Lucha set and I've liked every match of his that I've seen.

[Iron Anderson]

Did Johnny Valentine get a nod? How about Paul Jones?

[Matt D]

I think there probably is JUST enough footage with Jones and he's better than people would have reason to think. That's the general exploratory mindset (PWO conventional wisdom). Valentine probably doesn't have quite enough though.
