Reactions to the Honorable Mention List Part One

[BackToBionic]

Kind of cool that my first guy to come up was my #100 (Mistico).

[Danish Dynamite]

And it's not Honky himself who voted, 'cause then he'd be higher... What a waste of time it would be to go through the process of filling out the list just to troll we happy few, we band of nerdy brothers. ... If it was a troll vote, wouldn't there be other equally insane choices already? I think it could be a serious vote and that's way more scary :-)

[El-P]

Holy shit. Pat Roach was in Temple of Doom?! I had no idea that was him. That's awesome.

 

 

I had no idea who Pat Roach was before today, and now I'm learning that Indiana Jones beat up a pro-wrestler, three times.

 

That Combat Toyoda picture is the least intimidating picture we'll get I believe. I'm kinda amazed she got two votes actually. FMW represents.

Roach was in all three of the Indian Jones moves as well as Willow, a bunch of the Conan flicks, a Bond picture and two Kubrick films. He was even in Kevin Costner Robin Hood film. Woefully underrated on the list but for a long time I thought he wouldn't be nominated.

 

Villano IV is also super underrated.

[El McKell]

Mistico was the first of my picks to show up too, I had him at 97 though. That Combat Toyoda picture ruins her badass aura for me, she looks like a little old lady or something.

He was in all three original Indy movies, Willow, Kevin Costner's Robin Hood, Never Say Never Again and Conan the Destroyer... Pretty cool filmography :-) Move over, Dwayne Johnson :-)

[overbooked]

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.

Yep. The list should only get more reasonable/predictable as it goes on.

 

As one of those lurking, non-PWO regular voters may I reassure those who are concerned:

 

1. My ballot was pretty bland and non-wacky

2. I didn't vote for Kurt Angle

 

I doubt I'm alone with the above.

[Danish Dynamite]

Damn... Ohtani was faster :-)

She looks like a jolly cook. Which is what she became I guess.

I actually like Honky but man 49 on him seems insane.

I thought the same thing. Wasn't even a consideration despite being amused at some of his Memphis and Stampede stuff that I saw while watching other guys. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

I don't think Veidor's trunks are skimpy enough in that pic. There was one point in the 70s where the guys seemed to be having a contest to see who could wear the most obscene pair of trunks to the ring. I once read an interview with McManus where he talked about how it drove the ladies wild.

I'm pleasantly surprised that Bob Armstrong hasn't come up yet. He must have gotten more votes than I thought because I didn't have him really high or anything.

[El Boricua]

When I think of Pat Roach, I always think:

 

[Danish Dynamite]

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?

Ditto. Also on Dory... Except I do have one guy that I know you'll hate me for ranking, and I think he'll show up before Dory :-)

[El-P]

Ok, who voted for Koki Kitahara ? And it's not even Dean ! Anyway, be thanked. I take credit for being the only one pimping the guy. Hell, the only one posting in his thread. Wait, and I didn't even vote for him.

I was SO close to ranking him... Really happy he's not come up yet :-)

When I think of Pat Roach, I always think:

 

That's the look of a true "King of Kings"!

[ohtani's jacket]

If only he'd jump the fence at Mania like that old Brody/Hogan tale.

[Eegah]

I feel shamed for not finding a sentimental place for Jamie Dundee. Kitahara's hair in that picture should be framed. Tremendous.

Agree :-) His hair is just like Eugene's on The Walking Dead...

I'm looking at the Kitahara pic and instead of noticing the hair, all I could think was that it must have been cold when they took that pic.

Had almost forgotten that one :-) Fantasy booking's going into overdrive here now :-)

Hahahahaha!!!! You made me look again... Now I don't notice the hair so much either...

[Woof]

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.

 

I take umbrage with your comment, sir. Honky Tonk getting destroyed by Ultimate Warrior is easily one of the top 50 greatest squashes of all time. Most likely top 10, if not top 5.

[Loss]

Which Mistico was that vote for?
