Badlittlekitten Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Hogans making the top 100 people. It's where he belongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woof Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Had Sano at #30, which is probably way too high but considering where he landed, I'm glad I did it. There's only one vote I really feel stupid about. Seriously, the final list looks like it's gonna have some serious crappy candidates. Hogan ? HHH ? Really people ? Hulk Hogan is the biggest star the industry ever produced. Did you really expect him not to rank in the top 125? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Crackers Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Ouch. Otsuka, Sano, Satomura, Villano III, and Black Terry gone in one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woof Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 The Rock ... Sting .... Mick Foley I'm actually surprised there hasn't been that much Sting blowback at this point. He seems like a ripe candidate for "WTF IS HE STILL DOING OUT THERE?!" hysteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravJ1979 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 May I recommend #120-#111 on Saturday, #110-#101 on Sunday and then start the Top 100 on Monday morning? I don't check this thread much, if at all, over the weekend. This way Monday can start with fresh list, fresh threads and fresh eyes.

Microstatistics Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 With Kansai, that is 14 off my list today itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have way more time over the weekend than during workdays packed with meetings into the small hours, so I'd prefer a different way than you. But whatever suits Steven.

Danish Dynamite Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 6 guys dropped for me today (with five reveals still to come...). Up to 16 in total. But my top 50 is intact, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Casebolt Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 My ballot has been a bloodbath today. I was the high vote on Thesz. I love to watch Thesz because wrestling history seems to flow through him. He looks like he could be a neighbor on "Leave It To Beaver," but he transforms himself in the ring into a dastardly heel that's willing to bend the rules to his advantage, presaging the NWA Championship heels to come. He uses his backdrop suplex, which becomes the cornerstone of the All Japan style. Jumbo, Misawa, Kawada, etc. just wouldn't be the same without Thesz's existence. Bret Hart's signature counter that he uses to beat Piper and Austin is being used by Thesz in the early 1950's. On the mat, Thesz always stays active. He cranks the holds and will move to a variation to keep things interesting. When he is trapped in a hold, Thesz is always moving the feet, which gives the needed impression of trying to escape. I am stunned I was not the high vote on Thesz. Concur with all of this. Thesz was as good as anyone at making a wrestling match look competitive.

ohtani's jacket Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Aww, Kansai couldn't quite make it. At least the JWP girls went kicking and screaming out of the top 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravJ1979 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 #120 might just be a nice even number to stop at or its a big reveal. Could be HHH, Benoit or someone else hated/controversial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've only seen 4-5 prime era Thesz matches (and a couple of the ones close to the very end), so couldn't really vote for him (or Buddy Rogers), but really feel like I maybe should have. I can't say I couldn't have him top 25 if there was 20-30 50's matches of his available. Seems like his legendary reputation is well deserved and not historical hyperbole. ... Would also love to see more Gorgeous George. And obviously Bock in the 60's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the girls are dropping from the Top 100. I voted for Malenko last time. As you can guess if you know me, he had no chance this time around.
