I should have voted for Devil Masami. Stupid me.

 

Speaking of stunned, I feel betrayed even reading this shit. Who are you?

 

I'll admit I should probably have actually seen more of Devil than I have, since I voted for her. But Devil Masami is cool as fuck. One of the most charismatic wrestlers of her time.

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

Even if you aren't a fan of his (I'm not) I think it's glaringly obvious Tanahashi understands how to construct a pro wrestling match much better than Triple H. His goal is to make the fangirls and the casuals lose their shit. He more than succeeds in that. The crowd heat in some of his most famed matches is outstanding. Closest Triple H got to that were The Undertaker matches but he didn't manage to accomplish something like that with the same regularity Tanahashi does.

I'll say this about Takada because I have one of the stronger negative statements about him in the entire thread. I got way more into guys that were people I thought were better at the style (Tamura), the BattlArts style workers and then finally saw Fujiwara, who combined facials and tremendous transitions in a way that Takada wasn't that great at. That's basically my reasoning behind it.

 

Today has been brutal for guys I thought I could have been the high vote on, as I went Top 25 with Kandori and Top 50 with Kikuchi, only to see both of them fall. I'm now basically 100% confident the only person I'll have as my high vote is my #1.

I know. :( Stupid stupid me. I used to love Devil.

 

Wait. Oz. MAYUMI OZAKI doesn't make the top 100 ? Who are you PEOPLE ? These results suck. She was my #16.

You can blame me. I haven't seen enough joshi to make a proper assessment of anyone so I didn't rate any women.

I had Ozaki on my ballot, but I can completely understand people not ranking her. I think that for a great wrestler (which I think she is and voted as such) there are a lot of things she does poorly. If you are a voter who places heavy emphasis on technique, or how impactful things looks, Ozaki probably isn't going to be for you. I think it's easy for someone to watch an Ozaki match, even a good one, and make a snapshot judgement that she "isn't very good". It takes a while to see how much the little things she does every match add up.
