Well, how I ranked them was simple: I created a bracket and ran it. Then I removed the winner and ran all of the winner's matches with a VOID slot, so that whoever lost to the winner moved up a round and played from there.
I can't really say that intent goes a long way on this list. For example, if I was ranking Gino Hernandez, I don't think he'd get above halfway on this list. However, I think he had the potential to be one of the top guys in wrestling in the 80s. And I didn't even spend time talking about the quality of wrestling Hassan presented. It wasn't good. If you put on boring matches, you're going to get penalized for it. It's why a wrestler I absolutely hate is still higher on this list (JONA might know who). The guy puts on great matches; I'd rather be entertained by someone I hate than bored by someone I like.
And I'll be honest; there are a ton of guys I like on this list. The top 50 was really, REALLY hard to rank.
But first and foremost, the quality of writing probably matters most for me. And Hassan, despite what initially aired, became a terrible character. And I don't forgive that.
Honestly I really loved Hassan but like Glacier he falls hard into the what could have been category.
Id have still put both above feaking Torrie Wilson but overall cant disagree too hard. ---
