Number 7

Mad Man Manson

The bookies favourite just misses out on breaking the top 5 in the biggest shock of the list this year. But many fans have pointed out, that Manson is spending less and less time wrestling in Ireland, and perhaps might not be fuly elligable for next years list. Perhaps it is this reason that stopped him from getting the number one spot. If so, then it's a perfect swan song for Manson to make it into the top ten.

Manson is another one of those names that you instantly think of when it comes to Irish wrestling. Manson, along with the likes of Sheamus, Fergal Devitt and Vic Viper, is one of the men at the that was at he fore-front when Irish wrestling began to really start having a growth in the 00s.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Manson is the best comedy Irish wrestler ever. His dedication to his character is astonding, and it has lead to recognition across Europe. Name a company in Britian, and chances are he was worked for them. He has also travelled to Australia, New Zeland and the United States. He has even had the honor of sharing time with podcast favourite The Iron Sheik.

A true testament to his talent is the fact that he is the only Irish wrestler to make the UKFFs top 50 wrestlers of the year in England.

Mason is one of the finest to have in this countries wrestling history, and hopefully we will see him on our soil in 2011.

What somes of our voters said:

“Really adds something completely different and brilliant to every show he’s on.”
“Superb character, who delivers the best comedy bouts in the country, and could go further with it. No slouch in the ring either.”
“The best comedy wrestler in Europe by far, and one of the best in the world. Has bulked hugely since his IWW days, but retains his super-fun matches. Can be counted on to give both fans and non fans a giggle, superb promo, and also a surprisingly solid wrestler in the ring.”
“Legend”

That's it for tonight, thought I'd stop this evening at Manson since most people thought he would win this when the final ten names came out.

We are left with:

Duncan Disorderly
Justin Shape
Omen
Paddy Morrow
Paul Tracey
Sean "Maxer" Brennan

So who is going to take it?

Holy crap it really is a one promotion affair isnt it?!

Where could i find the podcast with manson and sheik?

Whoops, misunderstanding there! They weren't on podcast together, just that the Shiek is a favourite wrestler of the podcast and they both shared ring time together. Not wrestling though

Aye FFPW should be proud to see that top six right there. All six guys placed at either number 1,2 or 3 on most peoples lists, with the exceptions being very very few in between.

Currently making a name for himself in FFPW, we have the dark horse of this list, Philly The Kid.

Philly is a man who I love to watch wrestler, because he makes wrestling fun. From the moment 5,6,7,8 comes through the soundsystem, you know you're in for a good time. The cowboy outfit just completes the whole thing.

He may not be everyones cup of tea, but part of that is because alot of people won't give him the chance he deserves, simply because of his gimmick. It's very easy to hate a cowboy who comes to the ring with Steps as his theme music, but if you look past it you'll find a very talented wrestler. Placing so high on this list is a strong testament to that fact. Philly also takes a gimmick that would cause most fans to boo him right out of the building, yet gets cheers from it. He knows that a gimmick can only do so much; if it's flat fans won't cheer for you. Philly gets a reaction every time he is in a match, and it's always the one he wants. Hopefully this year some fans will wise up and realise that under the hat is an extremely talented wrestler.

Besides, a cowboy is not that out of the ordinary, considering almost all of us love watching a zombie biker steal Wrestlemaina after Wrestlemania.

It seems that this write up kind of focuses on the fact that Phily The Kids gimmick should be given a chance. In reality the gimmick is loved by audiences young and old I haven't really heard any bad reports about it myself.
You also dont really mention that in his last guise 'Phil The Thrill' he is a former 2 time NWA Ireland Heavyweight Champion and a 2 time Irish Tag Team Champion. He is also one of the most travelled wrestlers from Ireland who has been all over the UK,France, Spain, Sweden, Canada, USA and I'm sure one or two other places Im leaving out.He's also the head trainer of Irelands most successful training school and has been invited abroad to host training seminars. Not too shabby for a happy cowboy from Cabra.
I just thought I'd add a bit more to his write up that maybe you might not have known. I hope this doesn't seem smart I just thought I'd help.

Nonono man by all means, if people want to add anything to these lists then fell free. I'm not a guru of Irish wrestling by any means, so any notes that others can add would be welcomed with open arms!

All of them.

I have enough personalities to make up 6 men. My wit and charm were joint first.

flahavaj · 08-02-2011, 00:36

I wonder how many fellas registered for boards just to vote for themselves or their mates?

Quite a few new accounts floating around this thread.

Gerard.C · 08-02-2011, 00:48

I would think that Mr. Hurley is growing impatient, waiting for his rightful declaration as Irelands Greatest.

I'd say he's even more impatient waiting outside Easons for you at this stage.
