NotJayTabb Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Good to see from the Norman Smiley photo that one of the Nasty Boys is represented on this list
El-P Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 I dunno which one is better, the John Tatum or the Ken Shamrock pic. I'm amazed in a good way that I'm actually the low vote on Cuty Suzuki. Part of way too many great stuff for me to forget about her. JWP was a terrific little promotion.
El-P Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Could have found a better goofy/awesome pic for Suzuki though :
ohtani's jacket Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 I think I might have voted for Ikeshita in 2006.
elliott Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 I love the top 60 vote for Aoyagi. That rocks. Aoyagi is someone I thought briefly about myself and he would rank super high on a favorites list. I love a guy in a gi working insane brawls bleeding all over the place. Awesome.
Stiva Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 When I think of Pat Roach, I always think: When I think of Pat Roach I always think of Bomber spending all his money gambling and in the brothels of Dusseldorf in Auf Wiedersehen Pet! "Bomber likes the ladies does Bomber." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIog8pQ4up0 I swear he was trying to imitate Burt Lancaster. Not going to lie, my deep love for Auf Wiedersehen Pet got Pat Roach on the list, never mind his work.
Badlittlekitten Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Yumi Ikeshita Only the second of my hundred to make an appearance. All along I thought Ikeshita was my pick but I'm stunned to see not only is there two other voters, but it turns out I'm the fucking LOW vote. Rest assured if this was a favourites list she falls no lower than top 10. Notice how there's no goofy pics of Ikeshita floating about. Coolest as thee fuckest. The high vote is anon so I'm breaking rules and using the pic. I'd love to know who them voters were btw. Boatloads of swag.
Danish Dynamite Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 I know this might turn into the "Grimmas fan club", but damn you deserve all the standing ovations in the world for your work on this! This project and the reveal is so much fun!!!! Great way to get to take the time to get a good look at the different names popping up, instead of just brushing through them all at once. I take a quick look at the career and bio of the names as you reveal a new one. And whenever there's match reccomedations I mark them up for later watching. Awesome way to get a thorough look at a ton of (for me) new names. 'Cause there's a lot in this list I am only barely familiar with if at all. The comments from everyone in this thread also helps with that. So thanks everyone! None of my 100 have come up yet, and I still think (fear?) that I won't be the single high vote on anyone. So my avatar is gonna stay Thor the God of Thunder for a while (maybe until the 2026 poll when I have to make sure I'll be the high vote on someone...).
Badlittlekitten Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Note that with the appearance of Ikeshita, Kuniaki Kobayashi and Jr Hayato the three coolest Japanese wrestlers of them all were too cool for our list and they don't give a Fuck.
Loss Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 I dunno which one is better, the John Tatum or the Ken Shamrock pic. I'm amazed in a good way that I'm actually the low vote on Cuty Suzuki. Part of way too many great stuff for me to forget about her. JWP was a terrific little promotion. She was really good in ARSION too. Seriously, though, you'll never see two people as violently angry about proving who's the cutest as you will when Cuty Suzuki and Takako Inoue face off. That was in some ways my favorite interpromotional pairing just because they fit each other like a glove character-wise and also had good in-ring chemistry.
El-P Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 She was really good in ARSION too.

That was in some ways my favorite interpromotional pairing just because they fit each other like a glove character-wise and also had good in-ring chemistry. I didn't get the ARSION reference/joke here. I wish grumpy veteran heel bitch Cuty would have showed up in ARSION though. Agree with the Cuty/Takako pairing. Just ridiculous. I always enjoyed when Cuty was a little older and she had that more edgy, grumpy-like character when she worked with the younger girls. Not to say she was the sexiest Tenryu ever, but since bot had that awkward execution at times, actually, it might actually be truer than I make it to be. I'm the low vote on Savio. Going through WWF TV in 96, I can say without much hesitation he was the best TV worker of the promotion that year. Better than Michaels overall ? Well... He doesn't have the great matches apart from that Austin strap match, but week-to-week...
Grimmas Posted April 9, 2016 Author Report Posted April 9, 2016 Mando please explain #9 on Brian Kendrick? That is insanity.
Jimmy Redman Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Utter insanity. And that's me saying that.
Laney Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Brian Kendrick being in someone's top 10 has to be the craziest thing I've seen from this list so far. I love it.
Loss Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 I think it's impossible to find a Brian Kendrick picture that isn't weird, but kudos for finding a different kind of weird where he doesn't look like the long lost sister of DJ and Stephanie Tanner.
jaedmc Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 I didn't think Honk Tonk getting a 49th place vote could be topped. I love it.
NotJayTabb Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 I really want to see Mando's list at the end of this process. Between B-Boy at 23 and Kendrick at 9, he's certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons with his picks. He's not hiding behind the anonymous option though, he's owning those picks, so fair play.
Matt D Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 He's driven me nuts with his posts for years.
Grimmas Posted April 9, 2016 Author Report Posted April 9, 2016 He's driven me nuts with his posts for years. legit one of the first 5 ballots or so, and I thought we were in line for a bunch of troll ballots. I don't think it was a troll ballot anymore, but that was my initial reaction.
WingedEagle Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 I'm not going to be able to unsee this Full House gimmick now, especially with middle Tanner on the cover of Us Weekly this week. As for this Kendrick gimmick? I know its all in good fun and everyone has their presumably legit opinions, but its the kind of thing that makes it hard to take the results seriously.
KB8 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Kendrick at #9 is gonna be hard to top. Awesome.
Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Yay, I have a high vote on someone. And it's me and Dean, so I'm super happy with that. Angel Azteca avatar coming shortly!
GOTNW Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Nice to see someone ranked Sugiura higher than me. When I thought about it more I realised he had the last great heavyweight ace run in japanese wrestling so that earned him a solid placement.
Eegah Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Well we see the two votes for Raymond Rougeau really loved the guy.

The way I see it with 150 ballots, those things get cancelled out. The top 100 is a really really good list, trust me.
