I was about to make that joke.  I'm relistening to the Where the Big Boys Play episodes of their Top 100 and reminds me how much nicer the discussions are without someone like Parv being involved.  I don't think Chad has taken part in this which I always liked his opinions on wrestlers.

Those 400 podcasts that were reactions to the 2016 list seem to be lost to the ether which is sad as I'd like to have listened to them again.

@Kadaveri saved some of them

As well as the Alan4L/Case Lowe 2021 podcasts.

Just been browsing the "Highest 2026 debut" thread in the 2016 folder, where 10 years ago we tried to guess who would be the highest placed person to make their top 200 debut in GWE26. Fascinating to see only one person picked the likely winner, Ospreay, but there was a huge swell of support for Matt Riddle. I can't see Riddle having a thread and he's not in the list of "not nominated but received a vote anyway" that Grimmas posted, so that feels like a huge fall from grace.

It's actually super weird that Matt Riddle had a great rookie year in 2015-16, and then that turned out to literally be his in-ring peak.

Speaking Out and flaming out in WWE didn't help.

I relistened to the Where the Big Boys Play Top 100 the last couple days at work and listening to Parv being Parv for 5 hours was quite the task.

It's really interesting how few of the old DVDVR/PWO guard has taken part in this.  I'm really excited to see where the top results takes us.  I'm sure a lot of it won't be surprising but I'm sure there's going to be a lot of shuffling.  I remember so much of the discussion 10 years ago was "minimalist vs. maximalist" and that didn't seem to play a role in the discussions that I saw here.
