Reactions to the Honorable Mention List, Part 3

[Loss]

WILL SOMEONE FUCKING JOIN ME IN REACTING TO LEX LUGER PLACING ONE SPOT ABOVE LOU THESZ, AND SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT HHH UNTIL HE SHOWS UP? THIS IS FUNNIER THAN SCOTT STEINER GETTING A NUMBER ONE VOTE, YOU IDIOTS.

[WingedEagle]

First Yatsu, now Ozaki. Is this what would happen if we lowered the voting age to 6?

[jaedmc]

....Bro Inoki just came up. We can't go back to that now.

[DR Ackermann]

Inoki makes more sense as number 1 than Steiner does.

[WingedEagle]

 

I feel like Inoki is the wrestler most likely to decide to try to Hunt the World's Most Dangerous Game.

Dude, he bought an island because he thought there was buried treasure on it. Of course he's the guy trying to hunt the World's Most Dangerous Game.

 

 

I will pay mortgage money if Inoki is the heel in Uncharted 4.

It's wacky and pretty awesome. He said Inoki was his #1 for historical reasons alone, which seems fair, but he is a gigantic fan as well.

[Death From Above]

Yeah Inoki getting a #1 vote is so weird to me.

 

I seriously wonder if one of the anonymous ballots is Josh Barnett. I know he lurked on Zach Arnold's old forums in a previous lifetime.

 

If Billy Robinson has an anonymous number 1 I'm just going to assume one of the two was Barnett.

 

Not sure if joke post.

[Loss]

Inoki getting a #1 vote is not really any stranger than Hogan getting one, and I expect Hogan to get more than one.

Seconded, it's glorious.

Lou Thesz could barely beat Masa Chono let alone take on Ric Flair. Luger would have racked him up for sure.

[Grimmas]

I had a run of not finding good pictures. The rut is over with the last few.

[Matt D]

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.

I watched a decent amount of her in the last week and she also has that crazy post prime where it's like a snuff film of her and her three goons beating people up. I mean she does her part in that well, but still.

[El-P]

Jake Roberts. The greatest promos leading to the most disappointing matches. Psychology is fine, but it's just not enough.

[Badlittlekitten]

Oh shit, my list being gutted now. Kandori, Lex, Marty, Devil, Ozaki, Inoki . .

 

He's got his flaws but I don't get the hatred for Inoki. Love the carny bastard.

[Woof]

Everybody's getting a little tense. Maybe we should bring the Jerry Saggs Fiasco in to play a couple of tunes, loosen people up.

The only fiasco was people disrespecting WCW Hardcore Legend Brian Knobbs in that thread.

I love this ballot. It is precisely the reason I am not sweating ANYBODY dropping farther on the master list than I had them. I salute you, Wookie, whoever you are.

[Scarlet-Left]

Jake Roberts takes me up to forty-six!

 

Has anyone else had there top quarter gutted as much as I have?

 

7. Kana

8. Lex Luger

9. Shinobu Kandori

16. Terry Taylor

18. Buddy Landell

22. Sasha Banks

24. Ron Simmons

25. Steve Keirn

 

That's eight from my top quarter, and three from my top ten!

[concrete1992]

I'm still fuming over Emilio Charles Jr. You're all scum.

[JKWebb]

Aww, Butch and Masami down. I had Butch around 40 so was cool to see a higher voter, he fucking ruled.

I agree ... Butch Reed ruled! bummed to see him drop ... But seriously ... Where is HHH?

[El Dragon]

I am very surprised none of my top 52 are gone yet.

Only my 25 is gone. You've got one of the most fascinating lists, though. Parv seems to like huge chunks of mine, which is a good case for it being boring.

[BAMptb]

2 in my top 50 gone

[Matt D]

With Henry gone, he has to go soon, but I'm excited about just the IDEA of Christian in the top 125.
