Reactions to the Honorable Mention List Part One

[Grimmas]

Which Mistico was that vote for?

The super draw Mistico.

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.

Including that botched spot where he has to move into position to take the big splash, 'cause one of them fucked up their placement... I love that stupid match, but 49 people might have been better at taking that completely uncontrolled and uncoordinated beating :-)

[El-P]

Come on, that pic of Sandman ! Show a little respect for Hak. And I kinda regret not voting for him now. I didn't expect him to get any love at all.

[WingedEagle]

I expected Mistico to get a lot more love. Probably shows what I know about lucha, but figured he'd rank on a number of ballots.

[Loss]

His period of acclaim seemed to be pretty short.

[Danish Dynamite]

Hans Schmidt - He can annoy you

El Canek - Good for your wealth

 

I'm digging these old school tag lines :-) ... Could be a round of "Real or made up" for Johnny's Brainbuster show :-)

[Danish Dynamite]

Yeah, I thought people were much higher on Mistico too. This list might be quite influential when pwo members want to check out new stuff. I haven't seen much Mistico, and was considering giving him a closer look, but I'm pretty sure there's gonna be blank spots for me that will be ranked higher now, so they might move ahead of him on my "to watch list"...

You should watch some of his 2006-2007 matches - one of my favorites is this one :

Mistico, Hijo del Santo & Negro Casas vs Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero & Black Warrior from 08/04/2006

[Jesse Ewiak]

I wonder much higher would Mistico be if he'd just stayed in CMLL, been on top, probably drew a ton of money, and been in awesome lucha matches we had easier access too?

Cool! Thanks. Will find it and watch. Match recommendations is one of my favorite things about pwo :-)

I liked this Mistico match a lot when I watched it over the weekend but it's pretty much the only Mistico match I've seen (outside of the Sin Cara run) as I've watched way more 80s/90s Lucha than the more modern stuff.

Judy Martin is awesome. You really could piece together an awesome bottom of the ballot 25 with the some of the names that have dropped.

Totally agree! Add Dr. Tom to that list... Didn't think he'd show up already, but he surely did better in the tag ratings...

Sweet! It's all cued up :-) Will watch it tonight. Thanks!

The Jarrett-Pritchard feud of 1991 is maybe the most overlooked in-ring feud of that decade. Childs, soup, Pete - back me up!

[Beast]

Prichard is one I could see making my list of I'd seen more of his singles matches.

 

Kinda stinks he only made 2 ballots.

Also if you're not the biggest Jarrett fan? Pritchard's totally underrated, so I'll definetely take your word for it and check it out :-)

Koki Kitahara's ability to transcend wrestling should count for something. I guess only one person watches Walking Dead.

That's excactly the one I meant! Spitting image that one :-)

Was John Morrison nominated as Johnny Mundo? Or is that his name in LU

Ahhh... shit. I skimmed for the joke first and just missed it. Beat me to it... ohhh well, that joke has legs for a bit.

[MikeF]

Dream Machine was the last guy left off my list. Glad to see him get some votes

I was his other vote.

I liked Jarrett-Christopher better. *ducks and runs*

Didn't they only have the one TV match though?

I laughed even harder when you posted the picture, than when I first thought of it, so it might actually get better and better :-)
