Grimmas Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Just paid attention to who is next and don't want to reveal them. Too sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anarchistxx Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Surprised KENTA only got 40 votes, considering how prominent and consistently good he has been for so many years now. Very surprised he finished below Katsuhiko Nakajima also, as an easy comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Sasuke is another one from my 2006 list that didn't make it this time around, I was never as high on him as others, although if I had rewatched his peak years maybe I would have included him. Lots of juniors/lucharesu guys didn't make my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I feel like we're about to lose a bunch of the guys that I would love to have in the 100 the most. The Christians and Larry Zs (and yes, Blackwells and Morgans). Subversive picks against the classical conventional wisdom but potentially deserving ones. But the top 115 is no small accomplishment.

I had Blackwell at No. 21, but I didn't honestly expect him to finish in the top 25. I was happy to see him crack the top 120. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I think some of the griping and frustration is that there is a sense that the last 18 months of discussion was for "nothing," when results pop up that aren't representative of the discussion in the Nominees thread at all. It does make for a better, broader more credible list in some ways. Something like Malenko, though, where there was so much discussion over the last few years pulling him down from his pillar and barely any defense of him and that barely registering or mattering. There is a sense of "Well, what was the point if this was just going to be the result anyway," full of people who were obviously unfamiliar with the discussion or at the very least unmoved by it. It only bothers me so far, but I can see how it could really bother someone else who was thoroughly engaged for months upon months in this.

anarchistxx Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I love Sasuke, think he was top fifty on my ballot. Someone who had a lot of great junior matches during a golden era of junior wrestling. Amazed Christian will be so high, someone who I don't rate at all despite the heavy pimping that occurs for him in these parts. He always seemed so non threatening to me, with a poor look and no real star quality. His singles work was never more than solid to me, he could never get me to engage in him as worker outside of tags and multi man clusterfucks. Very much a solid midcard hand.

I just like my wrestlers I picked and want them to do as well as possible. Do you think it's possible people are taking things a lot more seriously than us at this point? There are a few things I'm frustrated with. I get what's going on with lucha and even 5 or 6 in the top 100 will be a good thing, but the fact that WoS is down to 2 people left and likely only one of them making the top 100, an entire subgenre of wrestling, one with a ton of footage online for free, and so much of it so excellent and engaging, especially when we're in the midst of a revival that draws so much from it. That just seems messed up to me. In general, we're just having fun, but I do think there's something not unreasonable to my previous post.

Grimmas Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Matt D, I really have no excuse with WOS. I focused my viewing on filling gaps in lucha, joshi, AJPW 90s, certain territory guys and certain current guys that I just didn't get to it.

Matt D Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 We all have gaps. (I'm not one to talk). It's just that more people have that one than anything else, it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Boricua Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I'm not getting worked up over anyone's placement, just enjoying the ride that is the reveals. I am keeping track of how many wrestlers have dropped from my list as a pass the time thing while we march towards the top 100. It's irrelevant to me how many or few of the wrestlers from my list make the top 100, as long as I'm OK with the list I submitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Buddy Rogers at 42 is my highest to fall so far, with Devil right behind at 43. I probably have about 70 guys left, though not gonna count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 My primary motivation for keeping track is to beat both Steven and Chad, because I'm competitive about everything. I don't even know what "beating" means in this context, just want to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
