Yea, it turns out that this male talent managed to receive the most votes; which means that we're also going to do him this week. It is now time to rate another classic superstar. I'd like to thank the many of you for participating in last week's threads. Remember that all of your votes DO matter, but please just try to be objective. Let's also try to get as many responses here as possible now, and PLEASE try to vote on my polls :eek:

Triple H ended up being ranked at last place in the classic section so far. Unfortunately for HHH, the ratings for his in-ring ability, charisma, and mic skills did hurt him slightly. However, the Cerebral Assassin did receive a pretty damn good score for his look/presence.

Jordan Devlin ended up being ranked at 2nd place in the cruiserweight section so far. Unfortunately for Devlin, the ratings for his look/presence hurt him dramatically. However, the Irish Ace did receive a pretty damn good score for his in-ring ability. It turns out that Devlin now has the highest score for having the best in-ring ability out of any wrestler ranked so far in the cruiserweight section. He also now has the highest score for having the most charisma out of any cruiserweight already rated.

Shingo Takagi ended up being ranked at 3rd place in the current section so far. Fortunately for Shingo, he did not seem to have any apparent weaknesses on any of the departments. However, the Dragon did receive a great score for his in-ring ability. It turns out that Shingo Takagi is now tied with John Morrison at 7th place for having the best look/presence compared to the rest of the talents in the current section. He also now has the 4th highest score for having the best in-ring ability in comparison to the rest of the current wrestlers. Not only that, but Shingo also now has the 8th highest score for having the best mic skills compared to the other talents in the current section.

Here are the updated standings:

Today we will rate Chris Benoit ( :mark: ) since he won the previous poll. This is your turn to vote. Make sure to keep up!

Please set each quality in this order (Look/Presence, In-Ring Ability, Charisma, Mic Skills), so it'll be easier to count your votes :)

NOTE: If you feel like you missed out on a previous rating thread of a superstar, then it is NOT too late!! I am still willing to count any of your votes for any old rating threads from this year. You folks have until the END OF THIS DECEMBER to do this; so just be sure to let me know which old rating thread you want me to include your vote in, and just be sure that it's from a thread in 2021. WITHOUT SPAMMING MY OLDER RATING THREADS though, feel free to bump a couple of them every so often (preferably a few times per month). My rankings are based off the MOST UPDATED standings. The MORE votes that are included to ALL of this, the MORE accurate the results will be. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO VOTE ON MY POLLS TOO :D

Edit: Don't forget that the poll is MULTIPLE CHOICE.

I'm quite surprised by the low ratings for look/presence. Benoit is nearly a 10 for me despite his height. He was built really well for a man of his size and his intensity when he came down to the ring was honestly unmatched. That theme as well only added to his overall presence. It didn't matter who he was in the ring with, I feel like he would have wrestled the shit out of them.

Look/Presence: 9/10
In-Ring Ability: 10/10
Charisma: 7.5/10
Mic Skills: 6/10
