I'll add some thoughts.

Number of wrestlers who made the top 100: 75/100. Pretty good, can't complain. I'm a guy with very varied tastes and the list was heavily diverse, so it makes sense.

Number of wrestlers who made the top 200: 94/200. Almost half of it, again, not bad at all. A lot of those other top 200 were guys I was heavily considering until the very end, too.

Highest rated wrestlers to make my ballot: Terry Funk (1, my #30), Bryan Danielson (2, my #2), Kenta Kobashi (3, my #1). I wouldn't be surprised if I was the lowest Terry vote. He could've been as high as #23, and maybe I would have been the lowest vote too. Crazy showcase.

Highest rated wrestlers to not make my ballot: Randy Savage (21), Kenny Omega (29), André the Giant (44). I almost voted for André, and I seriously considered Savage too. Omega never had a chance.

Lowest rated wrestler to make my ballot: Taichi (433, my #100). Honestly, I didn't even expect him to make it past the first 100 reveals or so. Absurdly underrated wrestler that can do anything and everything.

Exact placements on my ballot: Mitsuharu Misawa (#10) and Bryan Danielson (#2). Some others were pretty close, the funniest one being I had Arn Anderson and Sami Zayn at #58 and #59 and they ended up being #59 and #58 on the overall list. Fuck me, I guess.

How many in my top 50 made the top 50: 33/50. Yeah some unexpected drops before the top 50, like Devil, Tamura, Satánico or Ospreay, but overall I couldn't complain at this point.

How many in my top 20 made the top 20: 9/20. Ok this is were I started to complain more. What do you mean Fujinami is not even top 40. What do you mean Akiyama at #38 and Taue at #35. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BOCK AND LIGER OUTSIDE THE TOP 25.

How many in my top 10 made the top 10: 4/10. Kobashi, Danielson, Flair and Misawa. Funnily enough, three of those four have now appeared in the top 10 in every GWE edition, and Bryan has been top 5 both times he appeared. So I guess those four + Funk and Hansen (Hansen is the only one who also made the top 10 every time, while Terry has been either #1 or #2 the two times he made it, and he was #11 the only time he didn't so it doesn't really matter) are always a safe bet.

# of wrestlers outside the top 500 (Contrarian Award): None. Being contrarian for the sake of it has to be one of the most pathetic things you can be on the internet (but having a contrarian opinion and believing in it with your full heart and soul has to be one of the coolest, most based things).

Highest wrestlers who did not make the Top 500: Nobody. I'm an expert.

# of wrestlers outside the top 200 (Hipster Award): 4. Taichi, HHH, Edge and KOR. I can understand the first three but it really surprises me how underrated KOR was overall. He should have been far closer to make the top 100.

Highest wrestlers who did not make the Top 200: Kyle O'Reilly (287, my #68), Edge (207, my #79), Triple H (239, my #81).

Highest wrestlers who did not make the Top 100: Buddy Rose (104, my #18), Jim Breaks (119, my #26), Mark Briscoe (110, my #46). Rose and Breaks hurt the most, but something about Mark not making it while Jay was #80 annoys me to the bone. It's like when people vote Ricky Morton super highly while Robert Gibson is nowhere to be seen on their ballots. It's weird. In the case of the Briscoes is even weirder because the gap is much, much closer.

Highest wrestlers who did not make the Top 50: Chris Benoit (85, my #15), Devil Masami (56, my #21), Kurt Angle (55, my #22). Ranking Benoit is always gonna be uncomfortable, but in the end I couldn't drop him just because him being a murderer. This is just a good wrestlers list. If I had to take outside of wrestling stuff into consideration, almost no wrestlers would be available for me to discuss. However, I totally understand why people wouldn't want to vote for him at all, specially considering the fact that you can see -at least- one moment per match where you thing "yeap, that's the one that did it". Devil so close to top 50 but not making it feels like torture, sure we'll correct that by 2036. I hope. Angle is a guy that people need to get over with. The guy was awesome, you weren't right twenty years ago. It's ok. Seriously though, I do believe that a lot of wrestlers today are exactly what people said Angle was back then, and in comparison Angle looks totally legit and believable, in a way a lot of workers today just don't.

Highest wrestlers who did not make the Top 25: Shawn Michaels (37, my #5), Nick Bockwinkel (33, my #6), Tatsumi Fujinami (42, my #12). Shawn, like Angle, is another guy people need to reconcile with. If you wanna look at how actually being as bad as some people argued HBK was, just look at Kenny Omega today. In comparison, Shawn smokes every guy he inspired after him, he looks so real, even when overacting. Bock not making the top 25 is just a matter of people needing to watch him more and discuss him more, simple as that. I don't know anyone who has put the work that doesn't consider him a top tier pro wrestler. Fujinami pains me because he's such a relatable babyface and his longevity and versatility are soooo tremendous... I believe there's some version of Fujinami somewhere in time and space for literally any fan to enjoy. He should be with Flair or Misawa or Hansen in the "undisputed near the top of the list guy" tier.
