Yeah I had Jericho on my list but changed him when I saw the full-time criteria. EC said he could still count bc it's a gray area, but I'd rather limit my own list to retired or part-time guys.

 

[Petty]

He's full time, correct? I don't think he counts. Even if he's considered part time, as much as I'm a fan(all time favorite) I want to wait til he hangs them up to put him in. At least that's my opinion.

duh. You right. What was I thinking. My bad.

 

[Sabretooth]

Very good list. Went with the obvious picks because obvious picks are obvious lol. Macho Man wasn't even in my top ten tbh but I'm still happy he got in. I just don't rate him as highly as some other people. Hogan, Rock, and Austin were my top 3 so I'm good with that. I voted for Bruno as well so I'm kind of upset he barely missed out. I think he should have gone in this year and Macho Man gone in next year but I guess I can wait lol. I'm also never gonna complain about Ric Flair lol. I had him on my list of ten but not final five. My last guy was HBK, but he missed the cut too so oh well. I'm sure Bruno and Shawn are locks for next year so it is what it is.

Overall, a great first class.

Just out of curiosity, did anyone have Eddie Guerrero on their list?

Nah I love Eddie, but when I started making my list, he was cut pretty early. Which did make me kinda sad, cutting down the last 5 or so was fuckin' terrible tho

I had him on mine lol. That's why I asked. My top 5 were on the final list though so I literally just kept the order.

 

[Hoss]

I nominated Eddie too. I wanna say he ended up in the top 15 but not top 10.

I'll be happy to go hard for Eddie next year too.

 

[Vegeta]

EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE!

 

[Jimmy King]

I wouldn’t be against Stan Hansen, Misawa, Kawada, and Liger going in at some point.

I’m always going to advocate for Piper. His in ring skills weren’t the greatest, but, overall, one of the best in the business, not everyone can successfully play both a heel and face. I also give him huge credit for not being a bitch and using Piper’s Pit to help put people over. Upon meeting him, he really was a super nice guy that had intense passion for wrestling and understood what it meant to succeed.

I’ll also always advocate for the Honky Tonk Man, the greatest IC champ of all time. I don’t know anyone personally who even lists him as a favorite lol he’s always been my second favorite, I love heels, and he was (and still is) quite an asshole.

Honorary mention goes to Rikidozan who none of us will ever vote but for historical purposes absolutely needs to go in, along with El Santo.
