GWE 2026 Reaction Thread

[Grimmas]

Reactions to everything, the reveal, etc.. go here.

[Grimmas]

People from all over the world, and pretty good mix of when they started watching. Sooo many new voters!

[Kadooboo]

If Gran Naniwa didn't make top 100 it was rigged!

In the immortal words of Takeshita, "LET'S FUCKING GOOO!"

[Grimmas]

I have a tentative release schedule. With work, possibly moving, it may get messed. I will do my best though! First results no later than Saturday.

[El Dragon]

Massively looking forward to the next month, should be a blast.

[Boss Rock]

Thanks @Grimmas for running this show.

I've gotta say as one of the original voters in '06, I'm impressed that you guys generated ten times the number of voters this time. Kudos to you guys. I kind of wish I'd gone with my nationality over where I live. There are no other hardcore New Zealand wrestling fans on Wrestling Twitter?

Looking at the names people voted for that weren’t nominated confirms some of my biggest fears with this massive voter base.

[Reel]

Yeah, I don’t think it’s gonna be a very PWO list. Which is good and bad.

I think a lot of people have watched a lot of wrestling and formed their own opinion. But I am also 100% convinced that people have voted for wrestlers based entirely on gifs.

I voted for some of those names. I didn't realize they would be ineligible since Grimmas made a post where he said he wasn't going to be overly strict about it. I guess that was before he received close to 500 ballots. I have mixed feelings about the nominating process. For starters, it requires people to register an account here, which is a pain in the ass, and the list often wasn't updated for months at a time, which is a deterrent similar to how long people have to wait for approval  for a match review to be cleared by a moderator. Unless there was some other way to nominate wrestlers on Discord or somewhere else that I don't know about.

Anyway, there are a lot of great workers on that list. Some of them I'm not sure how they weren't nominated.

I have noticed that as well, unfortunately.

As an OG participant from the 2006 SC version, and non-participant this year (I actually *tried* to put together a list in the last month, as showed by my potential top ten I posted, but ranking stuff just doesn't make sense to me anymore, not just as far as pro-wrestling goes, in general, that ship has sailed), I must say the fact the tradition of bitching about the GWE results *as soon* as the reveal thread starts is alive and well is pretty funny.

You could nominate in the discord, hell you could get someone in the discord to nominate for you

I do sort of love the person who went "There's a huge list of nominees, I'm going to just assume Terri Runnels is already on there".

Big pop for the Act Yasukawa voter though, if Act had been nominated, I'd have been tempted for a #99 personal favourite vote.
