It really is elitist bollocks to be making a list based on the amount of basic mat wrestling you do in a match, or whether it is puro style or not.

Wrestling is what it is. If you rate wrestlers based on whether they appear to be legitimately kicking the fuck out of each other, watch MMA. If wrestling didn't have the fantasy element, I question whether my interest would be nearly as deep.

I think bell to bell one valid way to look at it. Personally, I judge everything but "bell to bell" means more than you give it credit for.
Bell to bell doesn't neccesarily only constitute technical skills, or athleticism. A lot goes into working a match. Charisma and the ability to communicate yourself with the crowd is important during the match, not just outside of it. Someone like Ric Flair or Shawn Michaels is able to work the crowd. This goes for all heels and faces. Things occur during the course of a match that don't begin with a lockup.
There's also the storytelling/psychology department. This also occurs during the course of the match.

Jeff and Matt Hardy have gotten over for their "bell to bell" skills. They're not the greatest technical workers in the world, but their work in the ring is what has endeared them. Both can work a crowd, but neither can work the stick. Do you like them?

Not everyone who is strong "bell to bell" is vanilla.

That is your prefference as an indiviadual. You are no more in the right the right than the bell to bell guy.

Thus the "define wrestler" debate.

an explanation of Destor's posts: Ultimo Tiger's list makes sense based on the way that he perceives and enjoys wrestling. he's clearly all about independent mat based work (he claims). other people (Fabien Barthez, i will assume) do not enjoy wrestling the same way and determine greatness based on other factors. this does not mean that one man is more right than the other, just that they have different tastes. that is not the problem. the problem is using your criteria of greatness to act as though your opinion is superior to someone else's. which is what Ultimo Tiger is ultimately trying to do here.

These were taken by multiple peoples votes presumably. Either way though, yea it's all "opinion."
Personally, I have a hard time understanding it on any level of logical thinking, but they're entitled to it.

multiple people who post on the same board and i'm sure have very similar tastes in style and execution. i'd imagine a list compiled by tpww would be torn apart in a similar manner over there.

I agree the list is insane. By no standerd can I figure out how these guys made this list save trying to be counter culture. It's perposterious by all logic I can fathom. I watch all the guys, most religiously. And I still don't get it. How the the flying fuck are the coming up with this shit? I dunno. But my argument was Fabien was getting an ego trip because he likes wrestling a certian way and likewise he was doing the SAME THING Ultimo Tigger was.

Just trying to point out the hypocricy.

It's because he work's purely on the canvas and looks a bit like he is actually kicking the shit out of people.....

this is my side of this discussion... we know too much about the truth's of wrestling to agree that someone who works a match in the spirit of 30 years prior is modern-day world class.

Maybe it's over-exposure to the last 20 years of the American product. I don't know...

just because i know how wrestling works doesn't mean that i can't continue to suspend my disbelief. i couldn't be a fan if i didn't. and you can work a match "in the spirit of 30 years prior" while still remaining relevant to today's mat game. look at bryan danielson. i don't mean to sound like a danielson nut hummer, but i guess i am. he does it right, in my opinion.

Different tastes and different environments too. What doesn't work in a WWE setting isn't neccesarilly bad. ROH is a different crowd, and a different environment. Therefore, it welcomes different things.
This may change if TV continues to grow there, but as of now its apples and oranges.

I think the live/indy wrestling world and the televised wrestling world (which you are talking about) are different things. I'm not saying either is better or worse.

I dunno Fabian. Just because I know it's a work doesn't mean I don't appreciate the sport side of it. That's like going to a movie not being able to appreciate the action because you know it's all stuntmen.

I don't disagree with the points of you, Dest or Wex, but nobody here would make a similar list, while blindly ignoring even the other factors of in-ring performance that make a wrestler stand out.

I mean a list that has such a criteria for its entrant placement. See the lack of a full stop (period) after the word list?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how that Top 100 uber smark list was assembled and then Rey Rey ended up where he did. It must be awesome to live in 1995. Bring me back some Pogs.
