The Russian Daydream Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Things I'm wondering about guys on my list now and who I expect to fall before we get to the actual top #100: - How high can Scotty Steiner possibly go? - Maybe I'm not the only one who still rates Dynamite Kid - Who are those other closet Sting voters! - Where are we gonna see Hogan and Dusty, and could they finish top 100? - Can the perennially underrated Hase make it to the 100? - There's also the question of ... Isn't it exciting eh. Every one of these guys made my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Boricua Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Does anyone still have their top 100 still in tack? I have only had three drop if my calculations are correct. That ship sailed long ago with my ballot, I am at 24 and counting that have dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I just noticed that we still haven't seen Lex Luger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTNW Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 On another note, has it ever been explained why they picked Chono to be one of the musketeers? I guess he does have a handful of great matches (Hase? Rude? couple of others), but did he ever really look like a great worker? Hase and Koshinaka were former juniors, he seemed like a logical choice at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stomperspc Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I just noticed that we still haven't seen Lex Luger. Yea, Luger and Sting are both alive which I am glad to see (had both on my list). It'll be interesting to see where they end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man in Blak Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I still only have one off of my ballot, but I'm expecting a big shotgun blast of Joshi, Lucha and shootstyle workers in the 100-200 range to dramatically change that. All three of those genres seem primed to have comparatively small, but very enthusiastic voting blocs that consistently ranked those workers highly, but not high enough to overcome the more generally appreciated groups of talent from the big North American and Japanese companies.

Loss Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Kyoko Inoue at 211 is probably the single biggest difference between 2006 and now, if I had to guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I just noticed that we still haven't seen Lex Luger. Luger compared to HHH will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I just noticed that we still haven't seen Lex Luger. Luger compared to HHH will be interesting. Luger at his best was heads and shoulders above HHH for me, he just had a short peak. HHH has longevity on his side, and despite having a hell of a lot of memorable matches, he also has so many long ass promos, matches that leave a bad taste in your mouth, and stories of him being a dick backstage that I have no idea how people will rank him.

soup23 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Kyoko was one of the final 20 or so cut from my ballot. A worker that seems to be the epitome of the go go style and energy based on the service but she was someone that could show some psychology and viciousness which was welcome.

Woof Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Can we get a text list of the rankings in one post? Would be great to have as an easy reference. Eventually, when I get to it. Talked with Grimmas this morning and took this off his plate. Full list is up. http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/33853-greatest-wrestler-ever-master-rankings-list/ Please don't post in the thread until he gets a chance to lock it for me. Thanks.

Timbo Slice Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Asuka the next to go on mine. Definitely enjoyed her earlier stuff to the GAEA stuff, and not surprised DEAN had her so high because I remember reading his GAEA reviews and he absolutely loved that stuff. I don't think I'm going to be the high vote on anyone outside of my #1, now. Maybe Kikuchi, but DEAN might beat me to that punch, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I deleted Ricky Jackson's post. Keep the discussion in the reaction threads. It's hard enough to keep up with all of the activity in the multiple threads as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-P Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Kyoko Inoue at 211 is probably the single biggest difference between 2006 and now, if I had to guess. And that SUCKS. Kyoko was #52 to me. GREAT fucking worker at her peak, way above Toyota. She's head and shoulder about a good half of the people that will show up next. First instance of a huge disappointment, although not surprising. Shit, and we're talking about the fact Lex Luger, Sting & HHH have not showed up yet. Booo people ! Booo !

Loss Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I will say that on the yearbook project, Kyoko's sloppiness really dragged down my opinion of her. She has a lot of positives as a wrestler and personality, but her execution was not really one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I never thought she was sloppy at all. When she got fat after 96, yeah, but before that she was amazing on all fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I'm thinking mainly of that hair match from '91 where she teamed with Bull against Jungle Jack. I think she blew every single move she tried in that match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 The 2006 list is getting shredded right now. Well when Tommy Rogers (who I really like) managed to finish 93 on that list, I will not weep for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryvonKramer Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Ah fuck, my fourth soldier, Rogers was my #93. I don't know why but I see it as a personal shortcoming every time one of my guys drops. Tommy Rogers was, in my view, the 4th best pure tag worker in US history behind Arn, Eaton and Morton.
