@MattD_SC @DDDurango Unstoppable Freak Athlete who can bump AND sell among the best of his WWE-era is nothing to sneeze at. He (like Goldberg!) is one-dimensional despite that, and does have diminishing returns. I love watching his matches but also never need to see him ever again.

@MattD_SC @DDDurango I ranked him highly (he is, in a sense, my Goldberg despite living through and hating Goldberg) but this is spot on. I do think some of this complaint is booking. Brock: MMA Monster, Killer Final Boss had moments of elevation but too many times diminished everything under him.

This one’s confusing I didn’t even rate Brock on my list at all I’m shocked so many ppl think he’s GWE level

@violent_people I think he is brutally funny on the mic and well into his lifer-WWE run was taking stupid as hell bumps and elevating basically all things he touches.

Kevin Steen voters, what are we doing? Why have we done this? What the frick

@Badtakejustin Defend your take!

Naito, Sabu and Kevin Owens are hilarious choices for a Greatest Wrestler conversation.

@68_wbTJ @ethicalyaoifan @solrocknroll @unmasked_taro Agree 1000%. I am like, okay, "So and so is the best?" fine! Tell me why. I love reading GWE #1 pick blurbs because I always find myself nodding.

@thewholedump @ethicalyaoifan @solrocknroll @unmasked_taro Which in my opinion is the point of the exercise the E stands for ever. So you should be watching more wrestling outside your niche/era to at least try and understand.

HOW HASN'T KEVIN OWENS DROPPED YET WHO FUCKING VOTED FOR HIM

@68_wbTJ @ethicalyaoifan @solrocknroll @unmasked_taro Not "low" but "misplaced."

@68_wbTJ @ethicalyaoifan @solrocknroll @unmasked_taro I think a fretting of someday the Nerd consensus will be "The Greatest Wrestler Ever is Roman Reigns/Kenny Omega" is low. They will always have their (correct) haters. But it shifts the conversation!

@solrocknroll @68_wbTJ @ethicalyaoifan @unmasked_taro Well this is the tricky, thing, too! I love Garcia and Bailey. Garcia has GREAT punches. But then so does Jerry Lawler who is, uh, well.

@68_wbTJ @thewholedump @ethicalyaoifan @unmasked_taro But also I like Speedball half because they’re a good wrestler and half because I find them super cute which is also why I like Daniel Garcia. If they’re a cute guy then they definitely get extra points with me

@68_wbTJ @ethicalyaoifan @solrocknroll @unmasked_taro Engage them! I am old. I love Tully Blanchard. Let people make their cases, show them clips, show them footage. Danielson deserve top 10. Cena and Omega is insane, and I can't imagine.

@ethicalyaoifan @solrocknroll @unmasked_taro Very few of those kids top 100 lists had anybody before 1999 except Michaels, Hart and Flair and had every 2010 top name top 50. I expect Cena, Danielson and Omega to make top 5-10.

@BlkGrlWrestling Athena is the best US-born Women's Wrestler of All Time.

Athena is better than the people that you like

@unmasked_taro I'm sorry, do you mean my 20th Greatest Wrestler Ever?

@terryfunkadelic Plus, I hate that awful End of an Era Triple H match so much. So I think his later stuff is also pretty overrated.

@terryfunkadelic That's so interesting. I think of 97 Taker as not a down period (compared to, say, the rest of the 90s), but yeah, the Fatal 4-Way. The Mankind Feud, Hell in a Cell. There's something there. I hear you. My argument is maybe those matches aren't HIS, y'know? But I see it!

I do enjoy both guys quite a bit but top 100 is absurd for either one

@StevenGrahamTWS It's a GOOD theme song.

How did Nak move up?

@BostonNooga Dr. D would be higher-rated historically if a) He was good at wrestling and b) Was not insane (bad kind) and c) Had a longer career. He slapped John Stossel and was 100% one of the best unhinged yellers ever.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. This promo.

@ToxicDeathRider Cheap Executive Officer is a sick title, to be fair.

I think about this like everyday

@ghostofkurta Also, I love that his alignment is default Evil and when he's not everyone's like, "But, I mean, yeah you are?" I love heels who even when they are faces are understood to be wholly untrustworthy the entire time. MJF does this, too.

@ghostofkurta I had him in my Top 25. I think he's one of the Best To Do It in the last 30 years on the mic and is fun and versatile in the ring and I love agile, chubby guys and "I'm Just Trying To Feed My Family" as a modern gimmick getting over is great.

Kevin Steen in the top 100? Really? Where are these huge Steen fans lol
