Your 2026 GWE Lists

[DMJ]

I posted my list over at my blog.

I must admit, I'm not especially proud of it or even agree with all of it, which is weird to say, but this time around, I really tried to stick to some self-imposed rules and a "system" designed to keep it from just being a list of my favorite wrestlers.

I wish I could have gotten more viewing in but as a snapshot in time I feel ok about this, at least I do today.

Here is my ballot. It is imperfect, of course, but I had a good time watching and discussing stuff.

I'm sure I'll disagree with the list plenty in the next couple months, but for now, I'm happy.

[ohtani's jacket]

I threw something together and already I see a couple of names I left off. Not that it will make a huge difference to the outcome, but I blew it, as eliot would say.
