Sydal was one of my first favorites in the third phase of my fandom. First: little kid, big personalities as my favorite. Second: tween, attitude era edgy stuff. Third: high schooler, flashy big moves, starting to care about technique.
I saw him from his appearances on NWA Wildside and TNA Explosion and he just jumped off the screen at me. Yeah, he was doing a ton of big moves, but they all looked really crisp. I do think that at least in those few matches, he did show in ring charisma as a white meat babyface. His Wildside debut on 6/7/03 against Delirious was awesome. I haven't watched it since then, but I still remember it vividly and was so happy that I got to see it.
That being said, of course, it is pretty doubtful that he makes my top 100. One of those guys that is in the "favorites, but not top 100" category.
