Reactions to the Honorable Mention List, Part 3

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?

[jaedmc]

Oh shit me and that guy are on the same Backlund wavelength.

[Danish Dynamite]

Backlund made the top 100!

 

IT'S HOWDY DOODY TIME MOTHERFUCKERS!

 

Ha!!!! Right on!!!

[Cross Face Chicken Wing]

I had Rock firmly in my top 100.....but 101 still seems like a fair overall placement for him.

That feud alone bumped Hansen up one spot for me and Colon about 127 spots :-)

[El-P]

Yeah ! Backlund makes it !

[Quentin Skinner]

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.

Agreed. 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...

[Danish Dynamite]

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...

[Jingus]

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]

It's funny that Rock is 101, because I imagine this super-long promo about it full of outdated dudebro jokes that will continue until the morning when the countdown resumes.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

Also, yeah yeah, crowd connection, but have you seen Rock's sharpshooter and spinebuster and punches and just overall general fundamental awfulness?

[El-P]

Like John Cena's you mean ?

[Grimmas]

Yep, but Cena has a longer peak and way more great performances.

[Loss]

Cena's no great shakes there either, but he's much more fundamentally sound than The Rock.

Did you read his thread?

[Gregor]

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.

[Cap]

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.

[Cap]

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.

[tim]

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]

What is wrong with Rock's punches??

[GOTNW]

 

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.

 

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 :-)

 

Both things I mentioned were extremely important in how he was perceived but didn't matter one bit to me.

[El-P]

What is wrong with Rock's punches??

 

They look like shitty open slap. Still look better than Cena's.

[GOTNW]

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.

[soup23]

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.
