A two way tie between one guy who was only on the indies and one guy who was only great on the indies, but had been employed by the WWE for much of the 2000's.
68. JAY BRISCOE & JAMES GIBSON (7 points)
JAY BRISCOE
For the record, I have no idea if that picture is Mark or Jay. Whatever, most of their awesome work was as a team.
JAMES GIBSON
Notice I'm writing "James Gibson," and not "Jamie Noble." Noble definitely had a lot of fun stuff during his sting in the WWE (I especially loved his tag team with Kid Kash in 2006), but what earned him points from me was his 2005 run in ROH. In my opinion, he was the best "pure" babyface that ROH ever put out, over guys like London and Colt. Him ending Punk's reign was a huuuuuge mark out moment, and really topped off his great run in that copmany.
A not-tie! Yeah!
66. ABYSS (9 points)
ABYSS
Let's face it, Abyss has been in some awful, awful, awful feuds. BUT, he's also had some really solid matches, and he was been a reliable go-to guy for TNA while they were trying to become a mainstream wrestling company.
Two-way tie again.
65. CHAVO GUERRERO & CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI (10 points)
CHAVO GUERRERO
For a guy from such an awesome wrestling family, he's really astonishingly average. That said, he deserves some credit for Los Guerreros at the beginning of the decade and a meaningful cruiserweight division in 2004. He's never been awful though, which is impressive for a guy who pretty much wrestled full-time from 2000 to 2009.
CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI
I first saw this guy in Chikara, and that's where I've liked seeing him ever since. He's had some fun feuds in ROH, but as one of that company's "big stars" right now, he's failed to take it to the level that the Punk/Joe/Aries/Danielson group took it too.
nevermind
