Henry/HeadCheese:

I'm still not sure who really is the best wrestler of all time, for me, Dr. Wagner Jr. feels like the right pick and has been for the last few months.

Dr. Wagner Jr. is so cool, sometimes I call that dude Dr. Swagner Jr!

When Bad Medicine hits, I often get happy goosebumps and know I am in for a good time.

Consistently entertaining since the earliest match I have seen of him in 1992 in UWA to 2025 in IWRG (7/21/25,. vs. Villano V Jr)., on Japan major shows, Arena Mexico main events, and TripleMania.

In two of the top 10 ever matches (vs. LA Park - TxT and Blue Demon Jr - TripleMania XXVII/2019 (watch the full show version with the entrance). The 11/15/12 AAA Park match and the trios match he had on a bull ring in 1998 under the sky (El Hijo Del Santo, Felino & Super Astro vs. Blue Panther, Dr. Wagner Jr. & Principe Joe) are probably top 100 matches for me.

Even with matches I don't like and feel are awkward and bad, Dr. Wagner Jr's made that match better.

Great aura. I don't understand what he is saying in his promos (my Spanish is not that bein, bein, bein), I still connect to his promos. His growly, enthusiastic, and magnetic voice echoing throughout any room he is in, just rules.

He makes everything he is in feel bigger. Even when he is a side character in teams, he makes it feel bigger and helps make the feud seem even bigger.

"There are many ways to define 'Greatest'; there are many ways to define what a 'wrestler' is, 'ever' is pretty set in stone. When tasked with picking the greatest wrestler ever, you have so many factors to consider, but the most important one to me was, 'Who do you just enjoy watching the most?' and that answer is Matsuanga. It's not the conclusion I thought I'd arrive at, but once I came to it, I could not deny it." Padraig Gavin

"Roman Reigns is a great talent, even overcoming his health issues. But he is my #1 primarily due to his run as the Tribal Chief and, in particular, his dominant 1316-day reign. It's worth noting that he is, maybe at this point, the preeminent Paul Heyman-guy! In this run, he beat the likes of Lesnar multiple times, Edge, Cena, Danielson, Cody, Strowman, Mysterio, Owens, Zayn, Jey Uso, and Goldberg - so an almost peerless run there. Roman is the dominant force of this era...acknowledge him!"  TheTribalChiefofRhodeIsland
