goc Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Glad putting the Hansen/Colon feud on youtube helped him get so high. If you didn't watch it yet wtf are you doing with your life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Oh shit me and that guy are on the same Backlund wavelength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish Dynamite Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Backlund made the top 100! Â IT'S HOWDY DOODY TIME MOTHERFUCKERS! Â Ha!!!! Right on!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Face Chicken Wing Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 I had Rock firmly in my top 100.....but 101 still seems like a fair overall placement for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â That feud alone bumped Hansen up one spot for me and Colon about 127 spots :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quentin Skinner Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Yeah the Hansen feud got me hooked on Colon. Made me seek out everything I could of him on YouTube and download a bunch of WWC. He made huge impression on me during this process.

I didn't have him in my 100, but you gotta love The Rock! ... And it is probably fitting that he's not quite on this list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish Dynamite Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 0 down for me today... I am a little stunned... But a lot of my #101-120 guys, so I guess I like their placement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 At least we can finally stop asking "what about Maeda?" now. His placement does seem oddly high to me, for the reason that I don't remember ever hearing anyone really go to bat for him as being a great worker or having any number of matches worth visiting.

Loss Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 It's funny that Rock is 101, because I imagine this super-long promo about it full of outdated dudebro jokes that will continue until the morning when the countdown resumes.

Loss Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Also, yeah yeah, crowd connection, but have you seen Rock's sharpshooter and spinebuster and punches and just overall general fundamental awfulness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Also, yeah yeah, crowd connection, but have you seen Rock's sharpshooter and spinebuster and punches and just overall general fundamental awfulness?

Loss Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Cena's no great shakes there either, but he's much more fundamentally sound than The Rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregor Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 A Rock promo about missing the top 100 would be far more interesting than a Cena promo about it. Cena's been smiling and saying that the fans can react however they want for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Yeah but the rock promo would just be a string of dick jokes that ended with him implying anyone who didn't vote for him must be gay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 I think Cena matches will hold up better over time too. Even The Rock's better matches don't hold up quite as well for me at least. I was never a huge fan, but I just never have a desire to watch Rock matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Zayn is a surprise to me. I wouldn't expect him to outrank other second-tier indie guys (first tier being Bryan, Joe, Punk) like Steen, Low-Ki, Aries, etc. But this poll got a pretty big sample size and early 2010s ROH was something that I was totally out of wrestling during, so maybe people who followed that have a stronger attachment to him for that than I'd guess.

goc Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 What is wrong with Rock's punches?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTNW Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Â Christian did well for a glorified midcarder who hasn't done anything in the last 2-3 years. I snuck him in on my ballot but didn't expect him to do nearly as good as he did. I want to find my "I hope the results prove me wrong" quote because so far it's been the opposite. Â So... a glorified midcarder who hasn't done anything in the last 2-3 years is one of the 100 greatest wrestlers ever to you? And better than some of the names you didn't rank? Fair enough :-) Â Both things I mentioned were extremely important in how he was perceived but didn't matter one bit to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 What is wrong with Rock's punches?? Â They look like shitty open slap. Still look better than Cena's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTNW Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 The Rock's punches are like a Marufuji Superkick, it looks great the first time you see it but then you watch more wrestling and you're not 11 anymore and you realise how stupid it looks. Would still take both over Thatcher's headbutt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Was really hoping for Hero to make top 100, guys list of versatility with different wrestlers is amazing. He only added to his case two weeks ago with another very good to great match vs. Yehi and a classic vs Sabre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
