Jay White is a modern guy that I could've voted for but with being in AEW and injury prone, I tend forget about him. Not everything he does clicks. A lot of the counter work can be contrived and clunky but when it clicks, it clicks. White is a wrestler who is reactive in a world where everyone is active. And that's always something I respect. 

He has had a few too many overly long main events that missed their peak for me to vote for him but I agree that on form he is one of the most exciting counter wrestlers to watch.

Given some of the names that dropped already I'm kind of stunned somebody like Smothers or Nishimura made it this far, some kind of campaigning for them over the past five years must have worked. If I vote in 2036 Nishimura will probably slide off so I'm happy I gave him a spot this time even if it was just at #89. At least he finished above Cole and Gargano.

I'd say while I respect what Athena has done with the spots she has got, she has never quite reached the level of work that Mercedes/Sasha put in for her Mania match with Bianca Belair, which to me is her finest hour.

She worked so hard to make Belair look unstoppable, I'll never forget the crack of Bianca's hair or the welts it brought up. Legacy wise it is a match that made Bianca a stadium level star and a lot of that was Sasha's very self-less work putting her over.

I wouldn't say it was her finest hour, she had much better matches since leaving WWE, but it was a defining, amazing carry-job performance. The last time I ever watch a Mania main event too. The one thing I remember the most actually is her sitting outside leaning on the barricade (or the ring, In dunno) after the match was over with *that* face where you could read the joy and pride of "Yup. I did it". She just loves this shit and it shows.
