I never got around to participating in this because I guess I'm about the only remaining person on the planet without a Facebook, but I've been slowly going through the countdown on PTBN and it really is tremendously fun stuff. It's also convinced me to check out some 70s/early 80s Mr. Fuji and I'm not the least bit sorry I did. One of the Titans should come up with a comprehensive list of the 100 (or like, 10) best Mr. Fuji matches one must check out...

13 of my picks were eliminated: Perfect, Christian, Jeff hardy, Slaughter, Goldust, Hall, Batista, DiBiase, Orton, Warrior, Roberts, Steamboat and Santana. All 24 of my remaining picks will be in the last 24. It’s just a matter of how many of them place in the top 10.

Scott Hall - obviously not a top 50 guy.

 

Warrior - too high

 

Randy Orton - suppose

 

Goldust - about right

 

AJ Styles - still think he’s a Joshi worker crossdressing as a man

 

Christian - suppose

 

Slaughter - should have been top 20

 

Jeff Hardy - meh

 

Batista - if it was a list of wrestlers who have appeared in movies maybe

 

Greg Valentine - bit overrated based on wwe work alone.

 

Steamboat - best stuff in NWA / WCW

 

Tito Santana - about right

 

Jake Roberts - about right

 

Ted DiBiase - wildly low balled, should have been top 10.

 

Mr Perfect - ridiculous that he ranked above Ted and this placement one place above a true legend makes a mockery of the whole list.

Corrected your typo for you Parv.

You’re putting a lot of stock in him feeding that taco to Lord Al.

I wouldn't have had Tito top 10 overall, but man was he fucking awesome and easily one of the best babyface workers the WWF have ever had. How many babyfaces brought the fire like Tito? If it was a pure in-ring poll then top 10 wouldn't have been crazy at all, I don't think.

 

Between him and DiBiase, for something like this, I guess a lot of it depends on where you land between workrate and promo/character. To me, Tito pretty clearly walks the former while Ted pretty clearly walks the latter. Ted had the bigger Jump Up moments outside the ring and he was positioned higher on the card than Tito (though it's not like Tito was never placed in high profile positions). I put a lot of stock in guys being able to work tags and Tito has a bunch of really good to great tags in the WWF (Ted's tag run came at the tail end of his career and it was with an ageing Rotunda rather than prime Martel, but it is what it is).

 

I flat out like Tito more so I guess I'd go with him.

I get the Edge anger, but I don't know about Punk. I felt like Punk legitimately had a chance to be the guy had they booked him correctly when he came back. I don't think anyone could have fired on all cylinders like he could have with the machine actually behind him. I think he could have been the most organically over guy in years - and, he was for a little bit. That being said, woulda coulda shoulda, but I'm not sure any of those guys had a moment like the pipe bomb or MITB 2011 or even the Straight Edge Society promos. I think punk had the charisma and had great to even classic matches. Sure, if you are looking at solely in-ring work, then Valentine was arguably better. But, if you're looking at the total package, heel or babyface, I think CM Punk is just that - and he sells more tickets and merchandise.... Just my opinion :) - I personally wouldn't put Owen Hart over them...

Let's talk about the biggest injustice fucking Edge finished higher than DiBiase, Tito & Valentine. Fuck that!

Now that's something all of PWO can be unified in our anger. :)

I agree with you. I also don’t fell that Punk belongs over them as well. Haven’t seen Owen Hart yet. I guess he made the final 24 as well.

 

 

Interesting debate is does Owen deserve to be above the Bulldog?

 

Both are kind of defined by their matches with Bret, but Davey has the British Bulldogs run too.

I'd lean towards Owen in that I prefer him in-ring to Davey by quite a bit and the King of Harts character was really fun (and he was interesting enough playing it that he remained relevant when he was injured), whereas Davey's character, heel or face, was basically just British guy who was proud to be British. Owen never had the extended stretch as part of an established team, but I'm not huge on the Bulldogs anyway, and honestly, I'd probably rather watch Owen and Yoko. Owen probably gets versatility points for the Blue Blazer run, the post-Montreal babyface run, and I guess the heel run with the Nation, which was at least different from deluded younger brother with a chip on his shoulder (I think). I don't know how good a promo Owen was, but I'll sure remember his rant after kicking Bret's leg out of his leg more than I'll remember anything Davey ever said.
