if you’re basing the list you posted on drawing power it seems tremendously incorrect.

There are guys who were big stars in Japan or Mexico that never really worked in America plus guys like Gorgeous George that were top stars in the early days of wrestling. I don't know how you measure drawing power in the territory days compared to today. They didn't have national tv exposure and weren't playing football stadiums, or at least not as often as WWE does today.

Exactly - they didn't have have TV exposure, yet these guys still drew huge crowds. And yes, they did fill huge stadiums. For example, in 1933 Jim Londos drew over 110,000 fans in Athens.

I’m gonna pick your brain

Imo in today’s era, he’s top 50 for sure

But the guys on the list you posted includes names such as frank gotch, the guys were shooters/hooker in the carnival days. I’m not saying that’s wrong but that’s many generations ago.

Btw Dan Gable number 1

You can make fun of the list all you want, and laugh that Big Show is higher and such, but the thing is, those lists were sent in from all over the world, with none of the voters knowing how the other voters voted. The men who voted in that poll know a heckuva lot more than you, or me.


Nah man, that doesn’t pass the smell test. The criteria listed, even with a large dose of personal interpretation, shouldn’t have Big Show over Y2J...

Hell CM Punk came in 60 spots higher,give me a break man.

The first guy to ever hold the Big Gold and WWE Heavyweight title AND a 9x IC champ at the same time was below those guys?

Now you're just being ignorant.

Titles have nothing to do with it; they're nothing more than a prop. You're acting as if his title accolades are real.

You might want to read this thread; maybe you'll learn a little.

agreed. But we're talking GOAT, which encompasses the late 1800s-present day. Look at William Muldoon, for example.

I’m well aware...but they aren’t meaningless. That list is full of shite too.
They stipulate that you can’t vote for a tagteam individual wrestlers only then the road warriors crack the list as single wrestler, tied at 171? They are THE GOAT tag team as of now, but that right there, invalidates the list.

Individuals only - no voting for tag teams


I’ll trust the guys that actually watched Jerhico over a bunch of “historians” who didn’t watch him or have regional biases.

Konann over Y2J...stfu

Like him or not, Konnan is one of the biggest draws in Mexican wrestling history. In 1993-94 he was the biggest draw in the world, according to the numbers. Anyway, I'm done arguing. As I said earlier, you can choose to believe whatever you want.
