The only way WWE could get me to pay for their shows these days is if they actually sent wrestlers TO my house for watch parties. Though NXT would probably still be good...

It would be a missed opportunity if they don't have the original stage set.

Repost from last topic:
Thinking about a simple wrestler ranking topic if people are interested.

One of those everyone submits a ranking then I compile the scores projects.

I'm just curious who everyone would rank as the best wrestlers ever. Maybe if it goes well do a favorites one after and see how the rankings differ.

@Steiner It will be easy enough for me to add the voting but I would love help with creating/looking at any additional breakdown.

Would be interested in a wrestler ranking. Would be even more interest if we had some sort of NCAA wrestlers tournament much like the characters/games variations that Swirl(?) hosted.

+20 to +1 point ranking. So +20 would be you pick for GOAT. Makes getting the combined ranking easy that way.

I dont want to go less than 20 (cause I want to include lots of people on my list) but could be convinced to go more lol. And of course you can always just not do the full amount if you dont care that much.

Final list will probably be top 100 assuming we get enough votes.

I loved those. Someone else would have to run that but I'd support it. Can use the ranking for initial top 25 rankings.

I'll participate if this exists. Although I think it will be hard to reach 100 people if we only get 20 people per vote. Most of it will be filled with the usual suspects.

Eh if we dont reach 100 that's fine. Just means there is more agreement.

What number of votes are people thinking? My first thought is up to 25 from everyone? I just worry the more spots I make the fewer people will vote as it takes more effort to fill it out.

I'll plan on posting a topic tonight.

Could always just give them the option of not filling every slot. I think I've seen it done before where your lowest is always +1, so if you don't fill out as many slots, your vote isn't weighed as heavily, which kinda makes sense to me.

i had this thought but i wonder if people might pad their ballot a little to be counted more. I think 50 would give us interesting enough results but maybe that would be too much like maniac says. eh.

I don't see a problem here! If SHINE throws 24 guys he kinda likes onto his ballot just to get Rock that sweet sweet +25, then all we've really done is coerced him to do a "proper" vote anyway! I guess strat voting could be a thing but if it's expected to be an issue then voting by PM should help a lot.

yeah, i basically ran through this same thought process. it would give you some maybe funky results but eh, who cares?

Yeah I don't think getting to 100 is going to be a problem.

EDIT: Also, one of my Top 5 doesn't have a second vote and that both surprises me and makes me very sad.

Paul Heyman was relieved of his duties as Executive Director of RAW. They've decided to consolidate their creative teams on RAW and Smackdown and Bruce Prichard is now in charge.

Remember when everyone thought that Heyman and Bischoff getting put in charge was gonna be a huge deal?

The general consensus was that it was a pretty big deal but we all generally agreed that Vince would more than likely screw it up. But then like the first RAW under Heyman happened and it was an exceptionally good one.

Like just the move alone was kind of seen as an acknowledgement of the necessity for change. The problem was I think everyone expected Vince to be still doing his XFL thing when he had enough money to go for at least 3 years.

Has the pandemic been kind of a blessing for Vince in one sense at least? XFL seemed to make a big thing of "no kneeling", but trying to sell that now would see it, and him, take an even bigger lambasting than he was already in for. Feels like the pandemic was almost a mercy killing for it.

Reports on that were basically "even the fake-ass enthusiasm from the crowd turn into actual enthusiasm" which should surprise no one since it's AJ Styles vs. Daniel Bryan.

Unpopular opinion: I kinda want to see the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever after all this hype just be a swerve similar to the finger poke of doom where Edge turns heel, reforms Rated RKO with Orton and they go after the Tag Team Titles.

I know it makes zero sense from a storypoint standpoint, but this company already has a tendency to not make sensible storylines.
