My apologies. I didn't notice.

Also I'm putting Claudio in as Big Tony and nobody can stop me.

If he's eligible, Akira Tozawa in Dragon Gate for the Open the Dream Gate Championship.. Hugely popular with the crowds, main event level wrestler, and several points in time where he was the hottest thing in the company and they just didn't put the belt on him. CIMA jobbing him out twice in one reign, at 2012 Kobe World and 2013's Dead or Alive, basically killed him and now look where he is, getting eaten by a shark and even worse, stuck on Monday Night Raw!

That having been said; does a run with the WWECW belt disqualify Chavo Guerrero Jr.?

He won it when the title was decidedly not considered a featured title.

IMO, anyone who held the ECW title should only be disqualified if it occurred between Shane Douglas in 1994 and Rhino in 2001.

hey yeah feel free to cut Diablo Jr, I tossed him in as a joke just to try to pad the number to 64, I didn't realize it would fill up this quick

Good job

Prince-Bishop ECW

Can you link me a wikipedia/wikia article about him? I only find results about Princes and Bishops when looking.

Also as far as disqualifications go, I'm mostly leaving it up to you guys. I'm literally collecting names and putting them up. Feel free to claim why person n should or shouldn't qualify.

Also as far as joke candidates go, I'm 100% fine with them, hell if I wanted to nominate someone it'd be a joke candidate rather than a serious one.

yeah I was gonna leave him in just so we could get some stories about him being a big idiot and then he'd lose in the 1st round but you almost filled this thing in a day and it has a lot more actual good people than I expected

So since the tournament is almost here, I'm going to talk about the format of the tournament.

Once I have seeded the bracket, I will reveal the first quarter of the bracket, and then announce the first match, and then I will post the straw poll the next day, so that people have time to discuss their case for each person.

So it will go
Day 1) Discuss Match 1
Day 2) Match 1
Day 3) Match 1 Results, and Discuss Match 2
Day 4) Match 2
and so on

This way people will have time to read the arguments for both wrestlers before voting for them. I'm not a huge knowledge base for each wrestler, so I will leave the writeups on each wrestler to people in the thread.

Vote based on who you think is a) the better wrestler, and b) has a better case for "not winning the big one."

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


I know I've nominated already, but Sara Del Rey is one of the best wrestlers of this century and the closest she's come to The Big One is winning the Shimmer title once.

With Mercedes Martinez, the initial nominations are provisionally closed.

I'll give approximately 24 hours for people to submit arguments why a name shouldn't be on the list, and replacement names, and officially seed the bracket when I get home from my routine blood work tomorrow.

Mr. Perfect shouldn't be on the list since he held the AWA World Championship.

Rick Rude shouldn't be on the list since he was World Class Champion after they broke away from the NWA.

nominations are closed but I'm just interested, was there a decision about weight class belts? tangentially, does anything disqualify hiromu?

I know it's jokes but at least enter Arachnaman as Brad Armstrong. He deserves that much.

Sekimoto's held the the BJW Strong Heavyweight, DDT KO-D Openweight title and the wXw and Zero1 titles which are all top titles in the promotions he works.

for the record i did not necessarily intend to nominate arachnaman when mentioning him. that's why i did not give him the respect that he deserves. please don't feel angry with me. I would be happy to change his name to Dos Hombres or Freedom Fighter

Actually hold on there's a good point here. If a worker never worked in a company that has what would qualify as a 'big one' should they really be on this list?
