Reactions to the Honorable Mention List, Part 3

[GOTNW]

I have ulterior motives and may or may not have used hivemind more because it sounded fancy than because I 100% meant it though I find it amusing how people get worked up over it.

I love watching how things shake out. You look at people who were high votes on guys who you would never consider. You end up finding posters who are your polar opposite when it comes to taste. Mine looks like it is shaping up to be Alan 4L. We're lucky we don't have to share a tv.

There is some previous with this.

[Exposer]

I counted 18 names that have dropped from my ballot. Seems about right

[JerryvonKramer]

The thing I'm most curious about is who Jack Webb has at #2.

In this context, I didn't get worked up over it at all. There's a history with the term at the board, but I understand your point, which seems to be that if someone finds someone boring, rather than just saying "that's boring", saying something like "Inoki can really sit in a hold too long without creating any struggle" is a far more useful statement that actually gives others a way to respond. I don't disagree with that. I know in these types of debates I usually fall on the other side, but I'm with you on this one.

You WILL LOVE IT!

In general, we're just having fun with the outrage, by the way. Sure, we've been at this for a long time, but none of us are losing sleep over Triple H.

I dunno...finding a guy boring as shit seems a perfectly valid complaint to make. I find quite a few guys boring as shit and honestly there aren't many places to go to explain it further other than "it's boring when he does this, does that"...

 

It does not engage or entertain. It's boring.

 

I'm as long-winded as anyone but sometimes few words are needed.

It's boring as shit when people make these kind of posts that defend one sentence posts that shit on a wrestler instead of encouraging further critical evaluation, even if it is just a way of paraphrasing why someone finds a wrestler boring as shit. It's a message board for crying out loud. Discussion is the whole point of it. And let's not pretend this would be the general (maybe it would still be yours) tone if we were discussing a worker the PWO hivemind (which the results have amusingly enough transcended so far) deemed great.

Johnny thinks the WWE haven't put a foot wrong since the Montreal screw job.

That's not even remotely true, dum dum.

last thumbs down or in the middle WWE show?

I don't remember. There was one this past year I didn't like all that much. I just try and focus on what I like about a show and not what I didn't like. And since every month I watch the shows surrounded by pals drinking and eating and laughing, then yes "I always have a blast."

[JKWebb]

Dutch was the first to fall out of my top 50 (41), and I've lost around 14 total (all others below 50)... I have Andre around 60...

Did you have Scott Steiner at 1?

Speak for yourself! You're not the one who could have voted him into the Top 100!

[Exposer]

No but I'm losing sleep over Brody

Wrestling is meant to be watched sober, alone and in darkness. Only your computer screen may bring you light.

[Exposer]

Really though. We need Jack Webb to write up Scotty Steiner. I'm excited to read the argument for him

He's been activated, but does he know it?

[Exposer]

We should all contact him.

Brody, Luger, HHH

 

Who can predict the correct order they will fall? My money is on that order with only HHH making the 100 and single-handedly invalidating the entire project in a hilarious fashion.

[Exposer]

Bless you Graham Crackers. The lucha soldier you are. I never got to see much of any of the less "higher thought of" lucha guys

[Willninho]

Holy shit. I just watched some Terry Rudge matches because he was the highest guy I've never heard of and he fucking rules.
