dkookypunk43 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Posted March 2, 2021 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zaTACdQexzfteLJ1KILAfDy57DuSoEhGuTOUXwUOvaw/edit?usp=sharing I decided to do a document on my list just to write a paragraph on why I voted on each individual in 2016 and where I evaluate them. Take a look when you get a chance Quote
Matt D Posted March 2, 2021 Report Posted March 2, 2021 This is a solid effort so far. You're being very honest with yourself which can be difficult and gives you a good foundation for 2026. Quote
dkookypunk43 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Report Posted March 2, 2021 Thank you, I really appreciate it. That's what I'm trying to do here and it's cool that it's garnering some respect. I'm challenging myself to view things in a different way or with a different lens. Quote
Ricky Jackson Posted March 2, 2021 Report Posted March 2, 2021 I know trying to convert anyone to the cause is always an uphill battle, but I wouldn't write off Bruno so definitively without giving his matches and feuds a chance. At least try to find the feud with Larry Z and some of his biggest MSG matches vs Graham, Patera, Arion... Quote
dkookypunk43 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Report Posted March 2, 2021 Alright I will, I'm open to anything. I've gotta see the MSG stuff for myself. I think it maybe my age. I was 19 when I made this list and 24 now so I'm going to be as open as possible Quote

Cap Posted April 12, 2021 Report Posted April 12, 2021 I'd second the point about Bruno. He isn't going to wow anyone with "workrate" as the term is often throne around today, but he is slept on and far too quickly dismissed. This isn't an apples to apples comparison, but I sort of think of him like Baba. I think Baba is much better on the whole, personally, but you have to appreciate both for what they are and how they use their physical skill-sets. It took a while for both to click with me, but once each did I find a lot of enjoyment in how they hone their craft. Quote
Shrike02 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Posted April 12, 2021 My observation would be that Bruno accomplishes a whole lot with a simple, rugged style. Less is more. And he had a special charisma with an all-time great feud with Larry Z which featured amazing, amazing promos as an integral part of that feud. And his matches have tremendous crowd atmosphere and heat. Bruno will easily make my top 100 list. Quote
dkookypunk43 Posted April 12, 2021 Author Report Posted April 12, 2021 I would like to thank my co-host Cap and Shrike for opening my eyes a little bit to what Bruno is. I just got to see more footage I'm just doing these evaluations as a litmus test. I got to get back to doing these. Thanks for the feedback Quote
Shrike02 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Posted April 12, 2021 It's always nice to see someone have an open mind and a willingness to explore footage. I hope you enjoy what you find. I'd also suggest this compilation of the Bruno vs. Larry feud in podcast commentary form: Quote
dkookypunk43 Posted April 13, 2021 Author Report Posted April 13, 2021 UPDATED: I updated the Terry Funk, Tully, Vader, and Fujiwara. I'm going to try my best to update a few each night Quote
