Danish Dynamite

MoS... I have to agree with you a little... I like DDL more as an actor than I like Dean as a wrestler, but I totally see your point. And maybe, just maybe, I'm swayed towards DDL because the movies he's been in have generally been great. But I agree with you on this more than I really want to :-)

Ha! Awesome :-)

Buddy Rogers?

Yes!!!! Won a ton of Oscars. Always brilliant. But a lot of his early stuff is almost impossible to find. But a true legend :-)

Cool beans. Great work, Steven!

Thanks JP!!! Seriously... if these guys love a wrestler so much they would include them in the Top 100, who am I to argue? I just want to know why they are in the Top 100. This! I love the spirit of this series, and wish the whole GWE had more of this air about it (which is not the fault of the people organizing it, but absolutely on the rest of us). Fingers crossed for 2026 or something... It's way more inspiring to hear people talk up the guys they love and voted for, and to hear Will encourage them to stick by their picks, than to hear (or read) someone trying to put their choices over by burying other peoples favorites.

Scary... But you're right. And Buddy's so fucking good...

I think Steven is saving this quote for when Bret Hart drops. The quote so nice, we'll use it twice (But I think Steven genuinely hates it...)

You haven't fared poorly :-) I have with my boring list of 33 out of 33 remaining... You've made a list that I'm eager to check out and watch stuff of all the guys I didn't even consider ranking this time. I'm hoping to make a Scarlet-Left-Left list in 2026!

Have no problem with people ranking Benoit, at all. But also have no problem that he's dropped now. I now have everyone of the remaining guys on my list. Highest drop is my #23, Buddy Rose. Lowest guy remaining is my #91, Shawn Michaels.

I actually agree. Fujiwara wasn't really on my radar when I started plowing through the Japanese stuff. I had a bunch of names I was looking out for. But Fujiwara just kept popping up doing great work in matches where I was actually seeking other guys. So if really giving Japan a chance, he should be a name that makes an impression. In a way it was the same, but a little lower, for me with Yatsu. Happy byproducts of checking out the stuff :-)

Feels good that Foley dropped now to me. I ranked him, I like him but I do find his final placement a bit high. Buddy Rose is now my highest ranked drop (he was my #23). What a fucking awesome worker he was. He was great at every aspect of the business, wasn't he? I'd seen his bloated wwf character before, and a bunch of the awa stuff, but pwo turned me on to Portland (had only seen a couple of Piper Rose matches from there before), so thanks for that! Have enjoyed pretty much all I've seen, and also all the hardcore pimping of the guy that people like Matt D have done. Good job :-) Satanico has been another pwo revelation for me. Had seen maybe 3 or 4 matches of his a couple of years ago. I'm still not the biggest lucha guy, but I'm actually surprised I ranked so many of them, and ranked them so high... Maybe I have converted without knowing it myself :-) And, sorry Steven, but it has to be done: I never doubted El Dandy!

Yeah, it's definetely ok Styles dropped now. Other than Shawn and Foley he was the lowest ranked on my list that hadn't gone yet. Impressive showing for AJ, but I think you guys are right about the recency bias on him. How much of his case is the last 3-4 years and how much is actually his full career? EDIT: Hmm. Will's post above mine makes sense to me. Answers my question I think.

Fujiwara's awesome. Easily my highest ranked shoot worker (a style I don't like). But he's much more than shoot to me. What a great defensive worker, what a bad ass, and very charismatic. A cool cat.

Every day Savage doesn't drop is a good day :-)
