The order isn't the same, but swap in Hashimoto for Misawa and that might end up being the exact list of names in my top 10 as well.

IF I voted, it would probably look like something something like this :

1 : Hiroshi Tanahashi

2 : Kenny Omega

3 : Akira Hokuto

4 : Kazuchika Okada

5 : Genichiro Tenryu

6 : Will Ospreay

7 : Manami Toyota

8 : Kenta Kobashi

9 : Terry Funk

10 : Brian Danielson

Ya know...

You guys have no concept of just how much the kids hate even the idea of watching Lawler for moral reasons.

This isn't a prediction thread, though; this is just what the top of our lists look like.

Ah, got it. My list looks a lot like it did last time, but with Tenryu and Fujiwara inserted. Ironically, that might knock Lawler out, but more likely, it knocks out Flair.
