Reactions to the Honorable Mention List, Part 3

[DR Ackermann]

Yeah it makes sense, but I was hoping for at least one big surprise just barely finding his way onto the final list. Oh well.

[El-P]

 

What an early morning gut punch for Smothers to fall. Travesty he wont be in the top 100.

 

Agreed.

 

Thirded. I thought Smothers would crack the top 100. I guess lots of people haven't watched SMW. His biggest accomplishment to me was making me enjoy an RVD match at the end of my ECW watch when going through an RVD match was just torture. I had him at #67.

 

Sabu is my next one going down. Fascinating worker. #70.

 

I like Luger, but this is ridiculous. And Hogan not down yet ? Him getting so high is a sad product of workrate relativism. Fucking Hogan.

I think the guys who are left are exactly the guys you'd have expected to be left when this began - Casas, Dandy, Santo, Satanico, Panther, Atlantis, Virus, etc., etc.

 

As good as the likes of Perro Sr. and Black Terry are seen to be by their fans, they don't have the kind of reach to be on enough ballots to get them into the top.

 

Still hyped that Chicana and Morgan are also still out there.

[Jimmy Redman]

Marty!

 

We're complaining about lucha, but man. Worst case only one WoS guy makes the 100.

It's even worse for the WoS guys now that Jones falls. We're looking at Breaks and probably only Breaks. i imagine Grey goes in the next 20.

[Grimmas]

Luchadors remaining:

 

Casas, Virus, Park, Satanico, Atlantis, Morgan, Santo, Panther, & Chicano.

 

Which I think is all the ones I voted for, outside of Porky, V3 & Fuerza.

[DR Ackermann]

I have Grey at like 10 or 11 I think. He was my highest rated WOS guy and then Marty was in my top 25.

[Dylan Waco]

Lucha was hurt because people didn't rally around specific candidates. Just like with the WON HOF ballots we all have the guys we support, and there is only a handful of guys who are consensus favorites among lucha's biggest advocates.

[Cap]

ahhh... just got home and checked... so much happend. Brody and Luger fall and HHH still lingers, still mocking us with his absence. Vilano and Perro DOWN! The best bleeder in the history of wrestling TOMMY RICH is down. ugh! This is getting REAL.

Saint is a rep guy too.

Why are people so upset about Triple H when Tanahashi is still around?

[jaedmc]

I actually love Tanahashi. I'm glad Okada is out now. I really don't care for that guy.

[TravJ1979]

I think HHH is #124.

[Grimmas]

I'll say it. I'd rather watch a Triple H match than a Tanahashi match.

[Ricky Jackson]

33 down after Bruno, Thesz, Rogers and Luger dropping

[Eegah]

Bruno down for me. He almost got there. That picture of Okada is perfect for him, although crying Okada would have been good.

[Dylan Waco]

Okada falls. Thank god.

[Dylan Waco]

Why are people so upset about Triple H when Tanahashi is still around?

 

Tanahashi is way better than HHH.

[WingedEagle]

Thought there was a chance I'd be the high man on Okada, but glad to see some others are more irrational than I am. Already regretting how low I put Tanahashi.

[Eegah]

Now Butch gone. Him and Slick's thumbs down echo my thoughts of him not being in the top 100.

[Grimmas]

 

Why are people so upset about Triple H when Tanahashi is still around?

 

Tanahashi is way better than HHH.

 

meh, I don't like either. Actually I dislike both a lot.

 

However, Triple H is generally facing guys I prefer than the opponents Tanahashi is facing.

[goodhelmet]

I thought Okada and the new New Japan guys would have had some top ten votes.

[Dylan Waco]

Tanahashi shows vulnerability and can build his matches around his opponents when he wants to. He has more strengths than HHH, and more individual performances that I'd rate.

 

Okada is basically the Japanese Randy Orton to me.
