The Undertaker not making the top 10 is a travishamockery of epic proportions compared to those two things put together.

Yeah Undertaker being 13th is really ****ing weird.

who was #23?

It's the strangest thing, I have no idea who it could have been; it's almost like he has been wiped from history.

lol I'm so dumb, nice.

Let's talk about #23 for a bit. He made the list despite at least 1 person not ranking him at all, and despite having some of his best work in Japan.

Chris Benoit did have a ton of great work in Japan; his Super J Cup win against Great Sasuke is well-known, but he had great matches against Jushin Liger, Black Tiger I and II (I think II was Eddie Guerrero), and Shinjiro Otani.

I was actually more impressed with his time in ECW though, and I really thought that that was going to be his breakout period. Unfortunately, Paul Heyman forgot to renew his work visa and he ended up going back to New Japan and then having a couple dead years. By the time he joined the Horsemen, I think he had to rebuild the name recognition that he had earned with ECW. His feuds with Kevin Sullivan were great in some ways, but ultimately, Sullivan wasn't the type of wrestler that Benoit could shine against. I really think Benoit's career could have been a lot bigger than it turned out to be if he'd have caught one or two breaks along the way.

Benoit wrestled under the names "Wild Pegasus" and "Pegasus Kid" in Japan, just an FYI that might be useful to anybody who wants to search that stuff.

Like several people who were ready to become stars, Benoit was buried somewhat and poorly utilized in WCW's twilight years.

And now...............the Top 10, of course counted as down with as much professionalism as Gordon Solie used to count down the top 10 on "Wrestling News Network".

10:

8.....

7.

SIX

FIVE

FOUR

It comes down to three men, then.

A man who started wrestling in 1972, in 3rd place:

Which means...tied at #1, a man once fired by the WWF, and who very nearly quit wrestling because he thought he would never cut it :

Tied with a man who was once told he was unmarketable both by WCW and by those in charge of WWF's merchandising:

No "Real American" theme? Denied.

Enjoyed this reveal moorobot, thanks for putting in the work.

It was usurped by #61. The U.S. Express used it a few times too IIRC.

I liked doing it; thanks much to everyone who participated.

Also, my plan to count down my own list before the reveal involved a final post like this:

And, my #1 overall...





But the GOAT matches tourney and the draft were already draining me, so my plan was foiled.

Nice; it's like Dylan speaking in LKJ's tone.

Still pretty amazing to me that people have Austin in the same stratosphere as Hogan, but this was a great reveal and thanks for doing it. Closing my eyes and trying to guess the entrance music was a fun diversion.

wish id gotten around to entering this. my list would probably have singlehandedly have jumped road dogg from outside the top 100 to mid 90s lol

definitely a solid list, which you would expect with so many people entering. angle and taker too low for me, but meh.

any chance of seeing the whole list posted straight up? can be in spoil tags
