jaedmc Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 I really don't like watching James storm wrestle so I'm a little bummed people ranked him BUT it might be worth it for that picture. I know some ladies back in Kentucky that would have that framed on the wall.
The Man in Blak Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 I've been wondering if I'd ever find a picture that felt right for my PWO avatar. Then the day came when Tommy Dreamer was nominated for Greatest Wrestler Ever.
Grimmas Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Posted April 7, 2016 2006 Ranking: unranked Points: 45 # of Ballots: 2 Average Vote: 78.5 High Vote: 68 (ChuckScumm) Low Vote: 89 "probably should have been 69" Timothy Buechner So happy this stupid joke made it on to the list thread. It made it in because the other vote was number 68. Almost a perfect prediction,
El McKell Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 James Storm and Ikuto Hidaka were the first two guys I really seriously considered for my list to appear on here, and then they are tied.Ryuji Ito not finishing ahead of Tommy Dreamer is kinda tragic.
JerryvonKramer Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 Wow, that's a monster rating for Dream Machine from Tim Cooke. Also, "Ian Rotten is a better wrestler than Dusty Rhodes" - Chad Campbell.
goc Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 I actually like Honky but man 49 on him seems insane.
El McKell Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 Honky Tonk Man? the 49th greatest wrestler ever? I'm gonna assume that the same person who put Bob Sapp at 66 did this. From now on I'm assuming all insane anon high votes are the same person.
Childs Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 I thought Ian would do a little better than that, though I never really considered him.
Childs Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 Honky Tonk Man? the 49th greatest wrestler ever? I'm gonna assume that the same person who put Bob Sapp at 66 did this. From now on I'm assuming all insane anon high votes are the same person. Some poster should join the board as "Insane Anon."
jaedmc Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 I just want to know who are the 48 other people that this person thinks are the ONLY people better than The Honky Tonk Man.
GOTNW Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 Honky Tonk Man? the 49th greatest wrestler ever? I'm gonna assume that the same person who put Bob Sapp at 66 did this. Not the case. The Bob Sapp ballot is fucking amazing.
El-P Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 HTM voted 49th best wrestler ever is a sign we should have made this a PWO exclusive. Tommy Dreamer's pic is wonderful.Nice odd indie sleaze series with Kid Kash, Jun Kasai, Tommy Dreamer, Ian Rotten and Gedo back to back. When you think about it, Kid Kash and Ian Rotten as 64th best wrestlers ever is also quite the mindfuck. James Storm is sexy as hell in that picture. If I were a girl, I'd do him.
jaedmc Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 HTM voted 49th best wrestler ever is a sign we should have made this a PWO exclusive. Booo. I like the weirdos. Makes everything way more interesting.
JerryvonKramer Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 You can give it this, it's possibly the most outrageouly controversial vote so far. (https://twitter.com/JerryvonK/status/718173004094697472)
TravJ1979 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 I'm now convinced that one or two trolls made joke ballots to make fun of us "stupid wrestling fans that don't know it's fake!" HTM is not the 49th best at anything.
concrete1992 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 I'm not sure a few joke ballots demean the process. Granted you would rather there be none but still.
jpchicago23 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 Dream Machine was the last guy left off my list. Glad to see him get some votes
cubbymark Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 You can give it this, it's possibly the most outrageouly controversial vote so far. (https://twitter.com/JerryvonK/status/718173004094697472) What I'm taking away from that tweet is that Honky Tonk Man is a communist.
goodhelmet Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 Dream Machine was the last guy left off my list. Glad to see him get some votes I love Troy Graham but too much time in between gigs forced me to leave him off.
El Boricua Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 I wouldn't worry about some "weird" votes (weird being a relative term to be honest), with a sample size of 151 ballots we're in the safe zone where a few outiers aren't really going to skew the rankings of this list notably. It'll be more noticeable in this portion of the honorable mentions, but the further we go, the less they will weigh on the rankings.
JerryvonKramer Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 I'm still waiting for one of my 100 to come up and I'm thinking about who it will be and where. My money is on Dory, maybe around 200?
The Russian Daydream Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 The diversity of opinion in this process is what I'm really enjoying. Only one of my votes have come up so far (Dave Taylor) but I can see how someone who values different things about wrestling would vote for most of those who have come up. For the life of me though, I cannot see what someone would be looking for in a wrestler that would make Honky Tonk Man the 49th best wrestler they have ever seen. I do want to say that I love that Tommy Dreamer picture.
jaedmc Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 I feel like PG-13 as a team was so good that it almost makes up for their lackluster singles outings. It's hard to penalize them for that because they clearly got a facet of wrestling the others struggle with. That being said I'd maybe include Brian Christopher ahead of both and he wasn't even nominated.
DR Ackermann Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 Holy shit. Pat Roach was in Temple of Doom?! I had no idea that was him. That's awesome.
