Reactions to the Honorable Mention List, Part 3

[bradhindsight]

Brody made 20 less ballots than Sabu, but those 27 that did vote for him really did go to bat.

 

I'll echo Dylan, I thought his average vote at 60 for those 27 was very surprising.

People who like Brody, LIKE Brody a LOT.

[JRGoldman]

I just realized that Virus hasn't dropped yet. Is he in line for biggest climb?

 

Also, where do we think Nakamura is going to land?

[Matt D]

I want JR Goldberg and DR Ackerman to collaborate.

[LowBlowPodcast]

I believe the Brody hype and I like his stuff from Japan, his match with Flair in St. Louis, and his overall ability to brawl but damn there are a lot of people who haven't been named yet that I would put him ahead of.

[Dylan Waco]

Shame to see Kandori out before Brock, as they have loosely similar resumes, very similar vibes, and yet I think Kandori was a much better a candidate. At this point I kind of expect Brock to finish top 50 which I would see as pretty laughable.

[soup23]

Fitting that Kandori was ahead of Brody as she was a much more intense brawler IMO.

[peachchaos]

Thesz coming in ahead of Brody is enough to make my day.

[Eegah]

Thesz stuck around for a good while, didnt make my cut but dont begrudge those who did vote for him. Moonsault Marvin representing!

[Matt D]

In 2016, footage is king, not Thesz. Luger's proof of that.

[Eegah]

Well, we get the answer most didnt want. Brody down, Luger down. How much longer until HHH?

[Dylan Waco]

Like Trump, HHH is winning off the back of anonymous voters, those who begrudgingly voted for him, and those who give extra points for celebrity.

 

Bow down to the king.

So where did you have Angle on your list?

[goodhelmet]

Villano III hurts. I had him at 38 and he is the highest guy off my list.

 

Also, Steven, you should find a wrestling pic of Luger. Old broken down Luger isn't humorous. It's depressing.

[Grimmas]

Question to everybody? At this point what will people be happy with when it comes to Triple H?

[JRGoldman]

HHH finishing ahead of VIII makes me question whether I'm actually watching the same things as other voters. Unfathomable. It can't be a question of footage, because the majority of footage we have for HHH hurts his case.

494, right under my 99? (though Judy Martin is better than him too).

[The Man in Blak]

Kandori's the first one out of my Top 50 and one of my favorite discoveries through the entire GWE journey. Damn.

[El Boricua]

If HHH drops before 109 he will have finished below where he did in 2006 in terms of ranking, so it's not like the 2006 poll did any better with his placement in that regard. Brody actually finished below where he did in 2006 as well.

There's absolutely inflation though.

He likely wouldn't make my top 1000 so no chance of me being happy with any result for him

[bradhindsight]

Just 21 ballots for Thesz vs. 45 for Lex.

 

Much like Brody, the Thesz backers really listed him high.

 

Lex and Sabu are winning the "popular" vote so far in appearing on the most ballots.

[jaedmc]

Sigh. Luger was one of the best dudes and hanging with better wrestlers and looking like he belonged. It's a very different quality than being carried.

Now I'm worried. If HHH finished 109 in 2006, with less than 40 ballots and only a few years removed from when most of the online community thought he was quite literally the worst thing to ever happen to main stream wrestling, I'm almost positive he ends up in the top 100 now. He's been less offensive (partially due to being less visible for a lot of that time) and has two or three matches more matches that a lot of people actively enjoy. It almost seems inevitable at this point.

 

That's garbage. Straight garbage.
