Um.....Carl O'Rourke hasn't wrestled in years? Red Vinny is retired too...surely they're not eligible?

Carl was mentioned for good reasons, same with Red Vinny.

That list isn't in any order, its just the top 30 names. The real order will be coming out this week and next.

And on Lycan getting enough votes to make the top 30. Sure there are wrestlers that people will disagree on (The Conor Hurley voters will be crying bull**** ) , but it doesn't mean they got number 1. If they got enough votes to break the list they got enough votes. There were wrestlers I would have liked to see in the final list but not enough people voted for them. (I like Lycan I should say, he plays a great big man.)

I was under the idea that we'd know the best wrestler that wasn't Sheamus or Devitt. Surely you could count all the votes and make a ranking list? That's if it isn't too much hassle.

I was wrong. Disregard this post. I'm slow today.

This is the joys of a democracy now. A fair vote by everyone on boards and people whinge before the main results are even out.

I don't think anyone was under any illusions that it wasn't going to be contraversal, just wasn't expecting THIS contraversal. :pac:

I feel like a broken record here since it's being said several times in the thread...that isn't the final list. It is the wrestlers who made the top 30. The final rankings and points will be coming out this week and next in the thread and the podcast. The points are already done and I have the final list. I just need to do write ups for the top part of the list and contact the winner so he can come onto the podcast.

Once again, just incase someone else doesn't see any of the posts.

Yes, there is a ranking. No, that list isn't the list in order. The rankings are coming out this week and next.

No hassle man, I still love ya I just got PMs (****ing PMs!) from people giving out that the list wasn't in order and thinking that they would never find out. Hopefully that post will stop the PMs!

Jesus Christ remind me never to tak the time to try and do something that might be a bit of craic for the board to enjoy!!!

Poor aul Sean. Fair play to you for all the effort you're going to. There'll always be some people you can't please. Looking forward to seing the Top 30 take shape in the next few weeks.

Since I've been mentioned by someone I might as well add my 2 cent.

Obviously there's gonna be disagreements if everyone felt exactly the same we'd only have ended up with a top ten.
Also who's to say the people who've seen Lycan wrestle have ever seen me wrestle, thus as far as they're concerned he deserves to be in the list, not me.
Btw, Mason has wrestled in Ireland this year, he did the 2 American Wrestling Superstar shows in Dublin and Castlebar.
It's a bit of Craic at the end of the day it's and I doubt wrestlers are gonna gain or lose too many bookings if they're included in the list or not.

Fair play to Bostoncrab as I'm sure there's a lot of effort gone into this and so far very little appreciation.

Final note 9 of the 10 wrestlers I voted for made the list whoop whoop ( and the 10th wasn't myself).

Justin Ternet

If I'd have known the likes of Carl O Rourke were allowed my top ten would probably be alot different.
There are a few people in the list that kind of show me what way this might go. Flan you should try find your top 40 and compare it might make for soe interesting reading and smelly hats.

There is no way people can tell what way this will go until the final list is up. I can't argue with the top 10 and the one other person who knows the top 10 can't find fault with it either. I have no alliance with any group, I'm just a fan of Irish wrestling. People voted and the number can't lie.

:eek:WHOOOOAH!!! Hold on to your horses there Im not insinuating anything Im only saying by the look of the names in there I can kinda judge where some people might fit in. Im only throwing a prediction out in my head. I know you're not affiliated with any group.

Im calling Shennigans allready, for one theres guys on the list who have been retired for atleast at year or more,hasnt wrestled in ireland in over a year ala mason, and two nothen agaisnt the guy but "lycan" has only debuted at the DCW in september from the results posted and had 2 matches which were tags, really doubt he should be anywhere near there top 30, specially when someone like tron didnt even make the list.

Infact Manson wrestled on two shows this past May, one in Dublin, one in Castlebar.
Maybe the scene hasn't been as 'dead' as people seem to think, they just dont go the shows

The Boston Crab is going to post up the results in a few batches soon iirc, each batch of names and their placing announced after/on the weekly podcast or something and then posted here.

I will definitley sticky the list somewhere - add it to the hotlinks sticky most likely, as it will be nice if we could keep an annual listing like this on boards PW

Justin Ternet

Any word on this yet?
