Do I even have a single lone wolf? You have 10 loners. My brain is fried from going through all those ballots today so I'm not going to check, but I think you might have the 2nd most one vote wonders behind only @admin. Received a record 4 lists today. That brings us up to 17 total ballots. 283 wrestlers have received a vote. Well over 100 wrestlers have crossed the 50 point barrier. That means we have a good sample size. It also means I'm getting antsy to start the reveal. Todd Rogue and Strobe have expressed an interest in voting. If they all vote before Tuesday night I'm probably going to pull a classic UT move by bumping up the deadline. So if your name is not Todd, Rogue, or Strobe and you're interested in voting, either mention it here so I know to wait for you, or send me a ballot asap.

50 is too high for me to work on, but Trips, Foley and Angle would have been in the top 5.

Throw in Cactus Jack, Mankind, Dude Love and Eric Angle and you're up to 7 mikec. 43 more to go and I'm sure Soda could chime in with a couple of names.

Hah! I am twice as hipster as Emperor! Our lists are probably identical except I switched out all the AJPW legends no one cares about with some mystic lone wolves of might and power.

Or maybe it just means...really, really good.

Edge is weird for me. He didn't make my list by any means but there are some parts of his career I really enjoy and there are large parts of his career that I didn't like. I enjoyed his tag team stuff and his run as mid card babyface on Smackdown in 2002 before he was injured. He was a really good heel when he returned but I never cared for his feuds and in ring performances outside of his stuff with John Cena and Matt Hardy.
That being said, I was excited for his return this year and am intrigued what he does with Orton tonight. I guess absence does make the heart grow fonder.

No Edge or any Hardy for me. Going on pure favorites was much easier for me. I just basically thought about who I liked watching and nearly all of my list is either retired or dead. I may have 5-6 still active.

Everyone on my list debuted in 20th Century. It is the most 30-something year old list ever made.

I may have 5-6 still active. Everyone on my list debuted in 20th Century. It is the most 30-something year old list ever made. I voted for plenty of new school wrestlers. It's just that the people I consider "new school" are in their 40s now and peaked in the 2000s   Only one two wrestlers on my list debuted in the 21st Century (with the one I initially forgot about debuting in 2000). The names on my list haven't changed much since like 2009. Maybe 5 people towards the bottom dropped off to be replaced by 5 new names. And I made the executive decision to cut three of them (all old school territory stars) simply because they peaked before my time. Most lists are a blend of old school and new. Not gonna lie. I die a little inside with each list since (I think) UT . I have a rooting interest in this. It seems like every time I get a new ballot one of my picks or a late cut I’m rooting for gets bumped out of the Top 100. Further up the ballot I'm forever like "I can't believe Wrestler X just surpassed Wrestler Y! Worst countdown ever!" And half the time I don't even particularly like Wrestler Y! Right now one of my extremely high picks is hanging on for dear life at #96. There's even a fair chance my lone modern concession drops out of the Top 100. Dreading the next ballot..... EDIT: Salvation! Got a ballot from Strobe while I was writing the above post. The former #96 just got a nice little boost. They're safe now. Strobe also earns additional bonus points for boosting someone who had been one of my 10 remaining one vote wonders. Just waiting on Todd now. I'm probably going to shut it down once he submits a ballot. So I'd recommend anybody else interested in voting to either get a move on it or pop in this thread to let me know you plan on sending a list.Â

There’s an incredible WWE 24 documentary about Edge’s comeback on the Network that aired today. I highly highly recommend it both for fans of Edge and for people who don’t get him. You’ll see his passion and love him, even if you don’t love his career.

You’ll see his passion and love him, even if you don’t love his career. I’m watching this now. Can co-sign that it’s fantastic. While he’s never been one of my guys, I’ve always enjoyed his story and find him interesting as a person. I listened to his podcast and watched his Network show and thought they were great. Vikings is next on my list. Also, Edge and Beth are the cutest.

NEW DEADLINE: 9 pm EST TonightThat gives any stragglers about 3 hours to submit a last minute ballot.
Received a beautiful ballot from Todd a little over two hours ago. I popped. He voted for one of my remaining one vote wonders and gave a bunch of my other relatively low vote wrestlers (and near misses) a nice little boost. He bumped at least one of them back into the Top 100 with a few others now right on the cusp. It's gonna be a close one. Screw objectivity. I'm rooting hard for my favorites at this point :lol:
There's a chance I start posting names tonight. If not tonight, definitely tomorrow. I'm going to do big bulk posts in the beginning. Maybe something like....
Day One: #201-The Bottom (#290ish)
Day Two: Last wrestler under 50 points (about #130)-#200
Then 5 a day until we get to the Top 100.
Then maybe 3 per day.
Be back in a bit with one final stats rundown.
