I mean I'm not the biggest Bret Hart mark, but I respected his work enough to give him a 10. Likewise with Hulk Hogan just because of what he did for wrestling.
I think most people need to actually step outside of their own personal bias when rating and not just give 10's because they are a mark for the wrestler.

And it is interesting to note sometimes I was fuly guilty of voting high because I was a mark for a certain wrestler: Disco Inferno being the prime example.
That is the other flaw in this system. There is no standard form of evaluation. Some have created their own, others (like myself, I fully admit) have not. In fact I will even further admit that the reasons for my ratings vary from wrestler to wrestler. With Disco it was soley based on just how much he entertained me, with Blanchard it was because he was fucking fantastic in the ring, even if isn't one of my top 10 favorites of all time.
Also another flaw is that there is no guarantee each wrestler will garner the same number of ratings, nor does each wrestler get the same raters.
I'll even further analyze my own rating practices and note that generally I only tend to rate wrestlers I really like. When it comes to those I don't like or generally don't care about I rate sporadically and usually only when bored.
