WS Wrestler Countdown 2021: ROH

Plus, these sort of threads I am sure are going to generate conversations and throwbacks, as well as tickling the fancy of people who perhaps were so in tune at the time.

I am just impressed seeing Homicide in the top 16, honestly.

I am just impressed seeing Homicide in the top 16, honestly.

I know several of us here on the board that are very high on Homicide.

I'm more surprised that Davey got in, being that he is very divisive. I had him pretty high on my personal list though, so that could have easily been the difference maker.

The tournament is incredibly stacked as expected. I don't have many doubts as to who will ultimately win, but there should he some interesting matches. I almost wish this was a 32 seed tourney though.

by my calculations, cm punk may actually fall out of the top 3 due to seeding. im fairly certain of what the top 3 will end up though

That is cool. I just from my experience on elsewheres that Homicide is "invisible", I guess would be the term to use, since like people acknowledge he exist and such, but have no opinion on him

Punk or Bryan will end up winning honestly.
