I know he gets a lot of hate online but how is Brock only 17th seed? Also Roman should be way higher than 15.
I think it's fair given that we're being very NA biased when Hiroshi Tanahashi would probably be top three if we're giving every company equal footing. Brock was really fun but he's not top ten for drawing power, many/most are better technically on the list, and y'know, current events and all that. I think I had Brock 17th or so on my list, I love the guy, but yeah, top 20 feels like a win for Brock.

For Roman, would you not feel like he has had a phenomenal turn around, but that for many years he was just not very good? Certainly not to the level he was pushed to. Right now he's a genuine contender for the Rock/Austin overness award alongside Cody, but for every good year, I think there's an equivalent average/bad year.

Spewing I missed the nominations for this but most of my 20 would've seeded anyway so it's all good.

Interesting to see that CB and Lesnar are on this. Very uncomfortable to vote for them considering what they've done and been alleged to have done.

I don't really watch modern WWE so he was never going to make my list. I know it took a long time for people to accept him as a main eventer. I'm guessing that's a factor in his low ranking.

People have different opinion than you is how
I put Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer too. Nice to see A few Women making the list, that's pretty cool. Did you put any women on your list ?

No but only because looch said he'd do a womans one later. I have no opposition to the women who were nominated however

I know. You always praise the women with AEW . There's a few in the IWC that think NXT Have the best women's division now. What do you think ? In all honesty it's so refreshing the last ten years how it's evolved.
