Topic	B8's Greatest Wrestlers Ever Ranking
Maniac64 06/15/20 9:02:36 PM #31:	Let's do another batch to get some discussion going. 94 (tie): Keith Lee Score: 18 # of Lists: 1 One of the big names of the peak of the US indie boom of the mid 2010s, his matches with Dijak got both nationwide buzz on the indies, and Lee has continued having big man flippy doo matches on a bigger stage in NXT since https://www.bilibili.com/video/av60191569/; Keith Lee vs. Tomohiro Ishii, November 9 2017 94 (tie): Harley Race Score: 18 # of Lists: 1 The original King of Wrestling, and maybe the last "shooter" of the NWA Champions - important in that tangling with Flair gave Flair the legitimacy to carry the torch even though he was no shooter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDWD_fjreo8; Harley Race vs. Terry Funk, July 1 1977 91 (tie): Nick Jackson Score: 18 # of Lists: 2 One half of one of the defining tag teams of the 21st century, Nick is the one responsible for what Excalibur will always let you know is the greatest hot tag in wrestling. For my money he also has the slightly stronger singles catalogue, which is why I'm throwing one of those matches in for Nick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XesuznnHaA; Nick Jackson vs. El Generico vs. Kota Ibushi vs. Jigsaw, March 28 2009 91 (tie): Hiromu Takahashi Score: 18 # of Lists: 2 While on excursion began an in ring rivalry with Dragon/Ryu Lee that will keep the two interwoven through their career, and since returning to New Japan has been one of the centerpiece stars of the Junior Heavyweight division, becoming one of the most popular wrestlers in all of Japan. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6l1003; Hiromu Takahashi vs. Taiji Ishimori, June 4 2018 91 (tie): Big Van Vader Score: 18 # of Lists: 2 Vader wrestled everywhere, and was awesome everywhere. Changed what it meant to be a big man in wrestling, and his influence in that regard is still felt today in terms of a much more athletic style. But even still, Vader was at his best beating the shit out of people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y5JkZmxOjE; Super Vader vs. Kiyoshi Tamura, June 10 1994 90: Genichiro Tenryu Score: 18 # of Lists: 3 While WWF fans might know him best for being part of the crew ambushing Undertaker on Yokozuna's behalf at Royal Rumble 1994, Tenryu is one of the most famous names in Japanese wrestling. In particular his match with Jumbo Tsuruta can be pointed to as the beginning of the King's Road style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfJyL-dJf_M; Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Genichiro Tenryu, June 5 1989 --- "Hope is allowed to be stupid, unwise, and naive." ~Sir Chris <cite>Maniac64 posted [p:940730487] in B8's Great...
