Paid Members seph Posted November 24, 2003 Paid Members Share Posted November 24, 2003 Nice to finally see a top-100 poll that will NEVER have the name "McMahon" in it. Smashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guvnor Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 On what qualities is the list based, or is it just someone's favourite 100 wrestlers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNQ Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 (edited) Canek?-- A Mexican legend for the old UWA. He was the main man on top through the end of the 70s to the early 90s holding the UWA Title, which he still does today. Holds the record for drawing over a million fans to ONE arena building during a year when the promotion was on fire, a record no one else comes close I belive. Mildred Burke?-- Pioneer women's wrestler. Only American women's wrestler in the Wrestling Observer Hall Of Fame. She has a decent record of drawing crowds during the 1930s to 1950, including a record from 1941 of 19,000 people for a all girls show. That was a record which wasn't beaten before AJW invaded the Tokyo Egg Dome on November 20, 1994 drawing 42,500 fans. Burke also trained many girls which was sent to AJW in the 60s and 70s. She also created the WWWA Singles Title in the 1950s, a title which is still used in All Japan Women and is the biggest prize in joshi puroresu.--PUNQ-- Edited November 24, 2003 by PUNQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted November 24, 2003 Paid Members Share Posted November 24, 2003 Danny Hodge - long-time NWA junior-heavyweight champion. He pretty much had the best amateur wrestling record ever in college, not conceding a single point in four years. After his last NCAA wrestling title, he entered the Golden Gloves boxing title for a laugh a couple of months later and won. He is literally a genetic freak as he has double tendons in each arm, giving him incredible strength, and many people think he'd have been a shoe-in for the UFC of his day. He was the first wrestler ever on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Perhaps his most famous behind the scenes incident was when Fritz Von Erich was dicking about putting people in the dressing room in the Iron Claw for real, only for Hodge to laugh in his face and brush his hand away.

Paid Members JohnnyChimpo Posted November 24, 2003 Paid Members Share Posted November 24, 2003 Did Triple H not make the top 100?Is the list is any particular order? Its just, The Rock is up in 16th place and people like Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels are in 25th and 47th place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngy Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 The list was based on both box office drawing power, chriasma and wrestling ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Constable Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Don't see why Andre is 6th. Crazy.I'd agree with that, totally undeserving of a placing as high as that in my view.And for all the Internet negativity and what have you, surely Triple H should merit a top 100 placing? Though I don't think he'll ever be up there with the Flairs, Hogans and Austins of his time, I think he's certainly up there with the Pattersons, Pipers and Lawlers at least.

Terje Rindal Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I don't agree with all of the picks, but that list is probably the best of the two million lists put together the past few years. Weirdest pick is Undertaker I'd say; 62 is just way too high for him. I also find it strange that Sting is in front of Patterson, Singh and Chono. And Gagne is way too high.

What criterias are you basing that on ? I'd say Piper, Lawler & Patterson blow HHH away in pretty much any category I can come up with. And I'm a HHH fan.

Terje Rindal Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 How in the hell did Mil Mascaras beat Bret hart,hbk and freddie blassie?

I'd like to know how much Blassie stuff Denim Rob has seen to come up with a comparison to MilAlright i get your point. i have only seen mil mascaras at rumble 97 and he was awful! hopefully he was a lot better when he was younger! and yes ure right i have only read about blassie not seen! .But to say mil is a greater wrestler than HBK is a big slap in the face. oh and i have seen quite a few hbk matches u know!
