Nice to see ECW and old Japanese indie guys get some love! Koshinaka & Kobayashi too! I know Danielson is going to finish pretty high but I probably have him right around the same spot on my list. Savage at #8, I dig it!

I think my list will be pretty good in 2036. Look, it's been a crazy decade. I did a lot of watching FOR 2016, filled in gaps, and ultimately decided that my list was going to be limited. 

For 2026, I have filled in a lot of gaps and explored wrestling in places I would have never imagined, like 300 hours (or whatever) of French Catch. This list is much more about my journey than any attempt to cover all grounds. The additions to the list represent France, the AJPW watching I've done (comprehensive from 89-mid 91 and so much before that), the NJPW UWF 2.0 watching I've done (Comprehensive from 86-89 and lots of what was before that), Comprehensive AJW 76-early 82, a lot of new German footage from 80-81, the Puerto Rico work I've done, and the work I've done for Found Footage Friday. There are still gaps. I don't feel like I understand the totality of guys like Liger and Hashimoto, or even someone like Anjo (but I do have a pretty good sense of Yamazaki so he slipped in at the bottom). I feel like I have enough understanding of the pillars to exclude three out of the four. That's a conscious decision. I ultimately decided not to rank active wrestlers or wrestlers who primarily made their case in the 21st century. Some of that is because I just don't feel like we have the distance and it wouldn't bring me joy even if it would, in part, represent my journey. Some of that is on merit and stylistic preference. I don't think many would get on my list anyway with all of the new people I had to shove on, but it would have made me joust with guys like Danielson, Samoa Joe, etc. Rey and Christian were people I clearly would have ranked but didn't for these purposes as well as so much of their case is as 2000s TV workers. I think we'll have more of that distance by 2036. If we did this even a year or two later, I'd almost certainly be able to rank Jaguar/Devil/Chigusa/Lioness/Dump. I am doing that work literally right now. I feel bad that they're not on there though. The point is that this is a lifelong journey and these lists, while they should be reasoned and consistent, are much more about your own personal relationship with wrestling than trying to figure out any truth. I wouldn't have made a list even except for that I wouldn't want to let down the kids who care about this and are trying to express themselves.

So let's go with what I've got. I may tweak a few things here or there but this is my list for now.  I feel pretty good about the first ~15 or so. After that, it's dodgy as hell. That's ok! We're on a lifelong journey here.

1    Nick Bockwinkel
2    Terry Funk
3    Genichiro Tenryu
4    Negro Casas
5    Buddy Rose
6    El Satanico
7    Yoshiaki Fujiwara
8    Jim Breaks
9    Andre the Giant
10   Jerry Lawler
11    Ric Flair
12    Giant Baba
13    Dick Murdoch
14    Jumbo Tsuruta
15    Stan Hansen

From 2026, Virus obviously got moved down. That was untenable. A moment in time that he was there last time, though he did nothing wrong. More opportunity cost than anything else. Tenryu is someone who I have watched forward from my point in time. As I've come to care so much about immersion and not showing strings and intrinsic storytelling and depth and broadness of character. He's undeniable. Funk represents this too and while he doesn't clear Bock for me, he's firmly my number 2 now. Fujiwara is one of the most fascinating wrestlers ever, so self-aware and in the moment and transcendent over such a long period of time. You don't want to look away from a single exchange. Baba like Andre, understands who and what he is and what he represents and enacts it to an amazing degree. Murdoch is so much like Funk in so many ways himself, and his New Japan work is really wonderful. I think a match that represents this list as much as anything else is the Fujiwara vs Murdoch handheld we got. I love the 70s Jumbo test series. I learned so much seeing Jumbo's hypocrisy and fall through his Gladiator era in 88-90 and becoming grumpy Jumbo. I don't think everything hits but this is where he belongs on my list. And I understand Hansen much better now so he jumped about ten spots. Him always being in the moment and creating meaningful wrestling simply by being himself, but also serving the match in ways that, let's say Brody, does not. 

16    Tully Blanchard
17    Ricky Morton
18    Arn Anderson
19    William Regal
20    Invader 1

Not much to say about this chunk. I moved Tully up because I feel like I've come to know him better and he's perfect and stark in what he does. So true to himself and so entertaining and effective. I saw no real reason to drop Ricky, Arn, Regal. Invader is maybe the best seller ever, a great puncher, amazing comebacks. I don't connect to HdS as much as some others do, but when I do connect with him, it's straight to my veins with rousing babyface fire. 

21   Riki Choshu
22    Randy Savage

Choshu and Savage are unknowable in so many ways, seething, electric, always on. I probably dock Savage for some of his 94-96 formula, but I tend to think of these two together. They create such a mood, even if the details of what they do are very different.

23    Hijo del Santo
24    Bobby Eaton
25    Gilbert Leduc
26    Blue Panther
27    Virus

That's where Virus landed. It's probably more accurate. Panther moved up a bit. A brief word on the French guys. We have so much footage with them. I spent so much of the pandemic watching and writing about them and the years later, going back through and making gifs and everything else. Very few people have gone through all the footage, because it is so much work, but I hope people do. It's not always many matches but it IS many minutes and you really get a sense of these wrestlers. Some of the stylistic differences can be hard to deal with because the ebbs and flows are not always what you expect or would prefer, but you see the work put into it and the skill at play. Some of this is based on what we do have though. If we had another ten Tony Oliver or Ami Sola or Jean Rabut matches, who knows, right? But based on the evidence we have I stand by all 10 or so I ranked and I could have ranked another ten easily. Someone like Pierre Bernaert was so good at what he did. Or we KNOW Modesto Aledo was so good and versatile but we just can't prove it like we can some of the others.

28    Tatsumi Fujinami
29    Steve Grey
30    Bret Hart

These three make wrestling feel like sport. I ranked them how I did in part because Bret has inconsistency through the 80s and feels like more of a peak candidate to me. What follows are some of the best babyfaces ever, broken up by Cota and Saito (who is actually a wonderful babyface when he gets to fire up in Japan rarely). Corn, who people might not be familiar with is such a great French stylist, who could work even holds with anyone in the footage with build and payoff but had some of the best fiery back and forths down the stretch when things boiled over. Again, he spoke to me. For the French guys, it's a matter of inches.

31    Jacky Corn
32    Ricky Steamboat
33    Rick Martel
34    Mocho Cota
35    Tito Santana
36    Masa Saito
37    Sangre Chicana
38    Dustin Rhodes
39    The Destroyer
40    Franz Van Buyten
41    Barry Windham
42    Black Terry
43    Roger Delaporte
44    Andre Bollet

Almost none of you will be interested why I put Delaporte over Bollet. Bollet is more wild energy but Delaporte does so much more with so much less, just with his facial expressions and his body language. But they belong together and they're two of the great villains of the 20th century.

45    El Dandy
46    Masked Superstar
47    Atlantis
48    Larry Zbyszko
49    Masa Fuchi
50    Antonio Inoki

Inoki at 50. I love him. When he is on, he is so, so on. But I do think sometimes he makes the wrong creative choices for the wrong reasons. That's part of his genius like almost everyone on this list but with him it's turned up to 11. I don't get the sense he was in control of himself like some of the other great wrestlers in the top 20. That effortless mastery is a lot of what I was looking for up there. Fuchi is a guy who is full of that mastery actually, able to go from a great technical jr. heavyweight title match, to a comedy six man where he plays the fool or the straight man (he can do both), to a brutal six man where he's just killing some young punk, all in the same week. Brilliant wrestler.

51    Akira Taue

I understand Taue. Front and back. Up and down. I find lots of flaws in Misawa, Kobashi, Kawada. While I wish Taue would have gotten it just a little sooner, once he gets it, he never loses it. I believe in the guy.

52    Emilio Charles Jr
53    Guy Mercier
54    Roddy Piper

If you told me that you'd put Mercier over Corn and Leduc, I wouldn't shrug that off. He's excellent. They all are. It's just down to preference and the footage we have. Piper is a massive beneficiary of found footage over the last decade. Lots of great stuff from him. We definitely undersold him for years.

55    La Fiera
56    Le Petit Prince
57    Billy Robinson/Billy Catanzaro (oops)
58    Greg Valentine
59    Bill Dundee
60    Fuerza Guerrera
61    Jerry Blackwell
62    Dennis Condrey
63    Terry Rudge
64    Steve Austin
65    Gilbert Cesca
66    Mighty Inoue
67    Matt Borne
68    Fit Finlay
69    Inca Peruano
70    MS-1
71    Marty Jones
72    Rene Lasartesse
73    Bob Orton, Jr.
74    Pirata Morgan
75    Jose Lothario

If we had more footage, I could see guys like Lasartesse and Lothario even higher. Same even with Van Buyten who I put quite high. Van Buyten is undeniable as one of the best babyfaces I've ever seen plus he has one great heel performance. He, with Lasartesse, can just conduct a crowd and build a masterpiece. Peruano is so unique and electric. One of the most interesting wrestlers I've ever seen and he represents the journey of the last decade, while also representing guys like Sabu who are sort of unclassifiable. 
 
76    Perro Aguayo Sr
77    Solar I

Given what I've come to value over the last ten years, I could have stuck more British guys (Veidor for instance) or more stooges (Rip Rogers, Eric Embry, Chris Colt, Ron Starr, etc) here, but I wanted to represent the super babyface stars who moved the crowd and squeezed every inch of emotion and feeling out of every moment. You could mix up the next four pretty easily, but I wanted them here because they're part of what I've come to appreciate (In-ring! This is all in-ring!) in what they were able to achieve

78    Dusty Rhodes
79    Bob Backlund
80    Bruno Sammartino
81    Carlos Colon
82    Clive Myers
83    Tracy Smothers
84    Jackie Sato
85    Jon Cortez
86    Zoltan Boscik
87    Caswell Martin
88    Jacques Rougeau
89    Abdullah the Butcher
90    Super Medico I
91    Kazuo Yamazaki
92    Les Kellett 
93    Kuniaki Kobayashi
94    Anton Tejero
95    Hector Garza
96    Yumi Ikeshita
97    Mami Kumano
98    Kantaro Hoshino
99    Chicky Starr
100    Haruka Eigen

Not much to say about the bottom ten. Again, it represents my journey but everything had to be true. I think the Black Pair were great as personal picks. I think Eigen and Garza and Starr and Kellett and Jacques (and even Martin) were not just some of the funniest wrestlers ever but also so very good at so many other things. I understand Kobayashi and how explosive he was. A guy you never want to take your eyes off of. Hoshino was able to work against type almost like New Japan's version of Fuchi and he's excellent whenever you get to see him. Medico has amazing punches and was a great babyface but also super versatile as he had entire other lives. 

So it's a list. And it's my list. And it represents my whole life and my last ten years. I wish I could have put another fifty people on. I wish I had another two years to fix the AJW issue. I don't wish that I put on anyone who made their case in the 21st century. I actually feel pretty good about that. I do wish we had a little more footage of Ernie Ladd or Johnny Valentine, etc., or that i felt more confident about Brisco or Thesz or Rogers. But I don't.

Wrestling's great. It's wonderful. I look at this list and I see so much that I love. Even if I didn't necessarily love making a list. I hope everyone had fun with their own journeys and hey, think of all that we still have left to learn.

Here's mine! 

Quote

In a fake sport, Bryan Danielson has consistently, for the past 2 decades, reached the pinnacle of success, sometimes in active resistance against his bosses, simply by how damn good he is. This should not happen in a fake sport, where theoretically, your legs can be cut off from underneath you at the whim of a promoter, and there are no hard stats to back you up (save for undeniable draws at a time when promoters were weak, like Londos, Hogan, but these are rare exceptions). This has happened to so many brilliant wrestlers over the course of wrestling history. It could not happen to Danielson, simply because of how good he is. There is no better endorsement of his case. His flaws are present and have been discussed. He "suffered" from ambitions loftier than what was apposite. He could sometimes feel like a pastiche of wrestlers whose tapes he watched than having a singular identity of his own, although I feel this is a bit unfair. But despite that, he has given consistently brilliant performances in a variety of different promotions, card positions, in front of different audiences with different tastes and expectations, and in my opinion, even at his worst, has always been at least interesting to watch. At his best, he has made Kane feel entertaining. He has made Miz feel like an actual wrestler. He had a great match with THE FIEND, one of the worst gimmicks ever.

His AEW run for me has put him over the top as the GOAT. There have been times when he has gone along with his opponent and not stuck to his guns, like the Ospreay match or the MJF ironman, but he still has the 2nd Hangman match, the 2nd Eddie Kingston match, Anarchy in the Arena, excellent tag works with the Death Riders. Looking at his daughter and screaming he loves her as Swerve beats on him, and deriving the strength by looking at his family to fight through the pain and win the world title. Constantly making us worried about whether he is shoot injured with his neck. He is the GOAT.

Our boy Tenryu might actually take an honest to goodness run at this top 10!

I knew I wouldn't be the only Yumi Ikeshita voter, but cool to see another couple people having her on their list either way. 

Also another Tama vote! Hot damn!
