El Boricua Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 Rogers is one of those guys who was hurt for me by the tag ballot going on at the same time. I didn't treat him as seriously as I should because I knew I'd have The Fantastics high as a team. So he went from 36 on my SC list to not on this one at all. Invader I is the first person to come up where I felt that he was way too low, but really it's Invader I. It's pretty amazing he finished as high as he did. Same thing happened to me with Rogers, the tag ballot kind of unintentionally nudged me towards not focusing on people that had largely tag resumes for this list. And I'd say 15 ballots is way more than I had expected for Invader 1 all things considered.
Grimmas Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Posted April 13, 2016 I got too excited. Best news ever at 182... well maybe not, but a relief for me.
soup23 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 Question for Jimmy, what was cuter Kota or the dog?
Childs Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 I don't know whether to be happy Rollins fell here or angry that he beat any of my guys.
bradhindsight Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 No spotlighting Steven, we're all on this roller coaster together.
Cross Face Chicken Wing Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 IMDB is your friend THE CALAMARI WRESTLER http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0428662/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 TRAILER Why was the squid/calamari thing not nominated? Massive oversight by the PWO community.
Luchaundead Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 Alright, I need to see this: I mean ... what is that?
bestintheworld3589 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 I don't know which part of this GWE project was more fun yet nerve racking at the same time, actually making the list or the anticipation of seeing who is the next name as Steven updates and hoping someone on my list doesn't drop off.
jaedmc Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 Why was the squid/calamari thing not nominated? Massive oversight by the PWO community. He was nominated. He's just showed up on the countdown.
goc Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 I don't know whether to be happy Rollins fell here or angry that he beat any of my guys. I'll be angry for you. Rollins should have gone down at least 200 spots earlier.
Grimmas Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Posted April 13, 2016 Every time a guy that is modern comes up that I don't think belong, I'm just happy they didn't make the top 100.
goc Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 It's not even that Rollins is "too modern" and still in the prime of his career it's that he isn't very good. He's had a lot of big matches in WWE and very few of them have wound up being memorable or all that good. Compare Sheamus' run as World Champ in 2012 to Rollins reign as WWE champ and Sheamus totally blows him away.
Lee Casebolt Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 It is now clear to me I did not vote high enough on Pat O'Connor. Hat's off to simen oem.
Grimmas Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Posted April 13, 2016 Sheamus >> Rollins for sure. However that bias of working indies is still there and he has that Tyler Black run. I hated that run, but I think it helped him here.
KB8 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 Seth Rollins ahead of Tommy Rogers? Who is responsible for this madness? Duggan, Rogers and Anjoh were mine. Duggan as walking tall caveman brawler is awesome. Anjoh as pouty, quick-tempered shoot style cheapshot artist is awesome. Rogers as face in peril is awesome. I love all three guys.
The Man in Blak Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 Yoji Anjoh is the second entry off of my list at #61. Lots of 101-125 cuts in this group for me too: Nishimura, El Samurai, Rogers, Invader 1, and Chono. (And yeah, Invader 1 was a direct byproduct of being driven to check out more of his work after listening to the Exile episode on Puerto Rico, for what it's worth.) I feel bad about Nigel McGuinness, though, because I think I may have ended up leaving him off of my ballot entirely through a copy/paste error, even though I meant to vote for him in the 40-50 range. Just a total whiff on my part. @#$%.
Luchaundead Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 It's not even that Rollins is "too modern" and still in the prime of his career it's that he isn't very good. He's had a lot of big matches in WWE and very few of them have wound up being memorable or all that good. Compare Sheamus' run as World Champ in 2012 to Rollins reign as WWE champ and Sheamus totally blows him away. Cena v Brock v Rollins was better than anything Sheamus has ever done I'd say in all of his life but I haven't seen the TMNT movie yet, also the MITB cash in at Mania was an amazing moment plus the RKO from earlier in the same show and that's all just within the past year. So account for having his hot run in ROH & PWG as well which includes the ATOF debut which is considered one of the biggest moments in the history of ROH I say the kid is fine just where he is
TheU_2001 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 People eliminated from the top 100 from my ballot so far: The Barbarian, The One Man Gang, Stan Lane, Ron Simmons, Finn Balor/Prince Devitt, Seth Rollins and Nigel McGuinness.
goc Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 also the MITB cash in at Mania was an amazing momentOh wow he was booked to do a run-in, what an amazing wrestler he is for that.
Luchaundead Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 also the MITB cash in at Mania was an amazing momentOh wow he was booked to do a run-in, what an amazing wrestler he is for that. Got a better reaction than anything Sheamus did on the show
goc Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 So you ranked Hogan and Andre really really high then right?
El-P Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 El Samurai???? This is becoming a depressing lunch. Blame me. I voted for Sammy in 2006 I believe, although I was a bit down on NJ juniors already. Haven't rewatch anything from him and I had too many other "old candidates" that I wanted to put in. But yeah, seems he's a forgotten worker now. Cool, he'll be a "discovery" in 2021 or so. (and yeah, thinking guys like Hall, Luger, both of them whom I like more than most, haven't showed up yet while Sammy or Tommy Rogers are there... well, the comeback of mainstream US wrestling I guess) And our second (or third, depending) murderer has dropped. I wonder how high the most famous one will get. PR remains one of my black hole that I always wanted to explore.
Luchaundead Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 So you ranked Hogan and Andre really really high then right? No but I also didn't rank Seth Rollins very high either I'm wonder what has Sheamus done that makes him your measuring stick?

Actually have a long string of good matches while champion. I only used him to compare his World Title run against Rollins WWE Title run.
