I was a completely different wrestling fan in 2012. WWE fanboy. Sheamus! You were better then. Jericho in the top 5 as is proper.

Next batch (151-200) will be posted tomorrow morning.
Thursday afternoon I will post 131-150.
Then 5 a day until we reach the Top...I'll figure it out when we get there.
Tiebreaker system, explained
Rather than having dozens of garish ties I came up with a system. Figured I'd explain it here.
-The first tiebreaker is # of votes. For example, a wrestler with 4 votes for 73 points will finish above a wrestler with 3 votes for 73 points.
-Second tiebreaker is highest vote. Say two wrestlers have 3 votes for 73 points. One wrestler had a high vote of #8. The other had a high vote of #11. The wrestler with the high vote of #8 finishes above the wrestler with the high vote of #11.
-Third tiebreaker is second highest vote. If two wrestlers are tied with 4 votes for 73, and also tied in high vote at #12, it goes to the next highest vote. And so on.
Fwiw there are thankfully no ties in the Top 100.

Love this reveal schedule, and love the tie breaker system. Baker-man, you da fucking MAN.

I'll do #131-#140 tomorrow. That will take us right up to the cusp of the 50 point recipients.
But there might not be a batch the day after that. Depends on whether or not I can get all my shit in tomorrow. I have 3 more picks to write (entirely too much) about + a few other things I want to touch on.

Tomorrow we get to the 50 point recipients. I'm going to cut down to 6 a day until we reach the Top 100. Decided I'm not doing pics until we get to the Top 100.
I know I write entirely too much about some of these people. I've got nothing better to do due to Corona confinement.

I'm totally up for a slow reveal Baker,. Coming on every day and talking about our favourite wrestlers is great for my sanity right now, so I really appreciate the work you've put in. Take as long as you need to do this.

Take as long as you need to do this. Thanks. I had actually planned on doing an even faster reveal. The last time we did this the person running the countdown burned through all the Honorable Mentions from #101 on down in one day. I was going to do it in three... Until being bored out of my mind due to Corona Confinement left me with nothing better to do than write and write and write. Next batch of 6 will be up in a few minutes.

Count me in the slower reveal fan camp.
I'm already falling behind posting my thoughts somehow. How the fuck does that happen during times like these!?

That's how man and you haven't even gotten to the Best of 3 Iron Man match series between Brock and Drew.

Did you get to see the extended cut of Orton/Edge? Apparently you can still watch their match LIVE on Hulu, Twitch and other streaming services.

A Personal Note and Plans For The Future
I've mostly been in self-imposed Corona Confinement since last Monday. Only worked a handful of short shifts and barely left the house beyond that. This has left me with a lot of free time for updating the list and writing.
But tomorrow I go back to work in earnest. Not sure how long that will last. But in the short term it means my blurbs are likely to get much shorter (and PW breathes a collective sigh of relief) and updates may become erratic. I'm still going to shoot for one update per day. But sometimes it might just be 1 or 2 names. Other times perhaps still 5 or 6. We'll see.

10 pages of comments before we even reached the Top 100. That's awesome! Unfortunately, it also leads me to believe most people will be burned out long before we reach the conclusion of this countdown (if they're not already). Yet still we march. Forward, always forward....
