Probably will be under contract soon, maybe in NJPW, and I'm very interested in how that will go."

No chance at making my ballot. He is one of those extremely generic indy wrestlers w/ zero appeal (to me) whatsoever. And the sad thing is that he probably is one of the better ones on the current scene.

I love me some Dirty Daddy! I love the intensity & passion he brings to every match. He was definitely the #1 week to week highlight of me attending Beyond's Unchartered Territory. I love that he has been influenced by both All Japan & Shoot-Style which is a great combo. I have not seen him in any garbage/deathmatch but I bet his FMW love comes through there too. I think his biggest strength is not walking through these big bomb throwing matches, not doing my turn, your turn. He makes his opponent earn their offense and he comes up with smart transitions to his own bombs in the finish run. 

In 2021, he is a longshot, BUT in 2026 I am projecting him as a distinct possibility.

Only makes my top 100 worst last names.

I thought Dickinson was one of the better indy workers of the pre-Covid era, big guy who worked like a killer and had some great looking offence. He also had real live show charisma, crowds seemed to love him whenever I saw him live. There's probably a world where he's not gotten himself cancelled where he goes to AEW and is a big deal there. Unfortunately for his case, his own actions have lead to him having a pretty brief career, and I don't think there's enough there for him to make the list.

Loved him in the indies, his work in Bloodsport, and I nominated him expecting that he'll be in NJPW or wherever at this point but he ruined himself and that was it.
