Grimmas Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 The list will be a nice locked thread, so people can read it later without all of the comments confusing it. Here will be a place to react and give comments. Unless everybody would rather comment in the list threads.. up to you folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpchicago23 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I love the way this is laid out. Almost added Hickerson to my list, glad to see he got a vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR Ackermann Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Surprised I'm the only one that voted for Fuyuki. He was a last minute addition to my ballot but I thought for sure there were people higher on him than I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 By the way, I subtitle part 1 of the list as the Timothy segment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Redman Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I feel at least a little better that Shane only got one vote. And less votes than Vince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I feel at least a little better that Shane only got one vote. And less votes than Vince. Shane is higher though, so Shane is the better wrestler!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eegah Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Surprised some of those names werent a little higher, especially Pogo but maybe not many deathmatch fans voting. Love that Tor Kamata got a vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Ewiak Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 It seems oddly...fitting for Kofi to be the low man on the totem pole in a list from this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I am triggered that Shane is ahead of Vince. Triggered I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Redman Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I feel at least a little better that Shane only got one vote. And less votes than Vince. Shane is higher though, so Shane is the better wrestler!!!!! Shut up shut up! And yeah, Kofi Kingston being the 558th best wrestler in the world sounds oddly right for this board.

DR Ackermann Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Nice to see that WingedEagle voted for Teranishi. I think if the guy got more chances that were on tape he would get much more credit. Its hard to build a GWE case off of 6 or 7 clipped midcard matches on TV a year but he always looked good in them.

Parties Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Grimmas: you do it your way and I don't mean to push it if it's a hassle or mess, but in the cases where multiple people voted for someone, is there any chance of writing out who the other voters were beyond the High Vote? Or are the votes you're not showing all anonymous? Even in the cases where only two people voted for someone, I'd think those two people would be into knowing they had the same taste. "I thought I was the only one who loved Chicky Starr this much!", etc. But maybe people will just reveal their picks in this thread? Either way, this is awesome. Also: Freelance is one of the great What Ifs in wrestling and I really wish he was still making tape as much as he was in '08. Easily could have made my list with more matches filmed / more recent stuff fresh on my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubbymark Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'm curious as to who the other fine voter was that had Chicky Starr on their ballot... I'm guessing Boricua or Dylan Hales. Edit: Was it you, Parties??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Very glad that JR and I got Kellett out of the basement. Better than Shane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 We don't have to put this on Grimmas, but I do like the idea of trying to figure out who our "perfect match" is after this is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All left blank names beside high vote is due to saying people wanted to be anonymous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parties Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I did not vote for Chicky, but he's an awesome guy to placed on a list at #100, which should be henceforth be known as "the Chicky Starr treatment". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Boricua Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'm the one that had Chicky at 100. For me, he was the perfect choice for that spot. Actually am glad he appeared on another ballot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luchaundead Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 By the way, I subtitle part 1 of the list as the Timothy segment. HAHA I was pretty shocked how many guys I was the only person to place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubbymark Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Boricua, the Exile on Badstreet on Invader with you, Kris Zellner and Dylan Hales was what introduced me to Chicky Starr and his awesomeness. Thank you so much. I haven't seen as much Puerto Rico as I would like, but from what I've seen, he's the best heel in Puerto Rico history, which for a list like this, counts for something.

Grimmas Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Charles made a great suggestion of separating spots on the lists by new posts. Fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are very welcome, so happy that you discovered Chicky thanks to the show. At his peak, the greatest heel in Puerto Rico wrestling history.

Parties Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 2006 Smarkschoice placements for the guys listed thus far: 218) El Faraon – 96 Points 281) Gran Apache – 36 Points 302) Mikey Whipwreck – 12 Points 329) Phil Hickerson – 42 Points 381) Johnny Ace – 14 Points 383) Les Kellet – 13 Points 387) Genki Horiguchi – 12 Points Substantial drops ten years later for Faroan and Apache. In the case of Faroan, I think a number of people were exposed to the bloody Pirata Morgan match and some of his other stuff around that time. Interesting that Gran Apache's '06 ranking came before the great Apache family feud that only should have helped his case, but being in the AAA midcard isn't good for anyone these days. No one voting for Ricky Fuyuki or Bobby Fulton in '06 is kind of surprising given the SC crowd and market share of voter conscience that 80s Crockett/All Japan and 90s FMW had on that board.

Surprised I was the only one who voted for Faraon. He had good stuff sprinkled throughout the 80s and some great singles matches in the early 90s, enough for bottom 10 placement for me.
