2nd Annual Boards Irish Top 25
-
01-01-2012 5:35pm#1It's that time again!
For the second time, us members of Boards.ie will have our say and will decide who the best wrestlers' in Ireland are. Last years list was as follows:
30: Carl “Shooter” O’Rourke
29: JDP
28: Danny Deans
27: Irish Dragon
26: Wayne Daly
25: Lycan
24: Insano
23: JC Williams
22: Tucker
21: The Ballymun Bruiser
20: Danny Butler
19: Red Vinny
18: Bonesaw
17: Kev Rocks
16: Working Class John
15: LA Warren
14: Andy Phoenix
13: Sean South
12: Vic Viper
11: Mandrake
10: Jordan Devlin
9: Bingo Balance
8: Philly The Kid
7: Mad Man Mason
6: Justin Shape
5: Omen
4: Duncan Disorderly
3: Paul Tracey
2: Paddy Marrow
1: Sean Maxer Brennan
So who will take the top spot? It's been an interesting year for Irish wrestling, so the list looks to go under a radical change! Can Maxer hold onto his top spot? Will the Zero 1 trips for Devlin and Tracey cause them to take take the title? Or will a new comer debut on the list and raise everyones eyebrows?
How it works is simple:
1)Before January 14th (Two weeks from today), PM me your list (In order) of Irelands ten best wrestlers. Leave a comment with each name as to why they have gotten your vote. It's important to keep them ranked as the higher you place them the more points they get. (EG: Your number 1 vote gets 10 points, 2 gets 9 etc.)
2)After this date I'll total the results and post the top 25, with either 2 or 3 entrants per day. The list will also go onto www.thebostoncrab.net in a seperate section (Under the Irish wrestling dates). I will also use my column at 411 Wrestling to promote the list and help give the Irish scene abit of notice on one of the largest wrestling websites on the net.
3) Of course, there are certain wrestlers who cannot make this list. Since it's to rank the top active wrestlers in Ireland, those who are making their main home in America or Japan cannot be included, which means Sheamus, Fit Finlay and Fergal Devitt are excused from nomination.
4) Don't post your choices in this thread, let's keep the element of suprise active and keep all nominations secret
5)NEW FROM LAST YEAR-PLEASE READ!!!: Last year, since it was the first time we did this, we agreed to allow guys who haven't done alot in Ireland in the 12 month period to get a mention, due to their importance and impact on the Irish scene. This year however I would please ask you to only consideer January 2011-December 2011 when you are casting your votes. If you are unsure if someone was actually active during the year then please as in this thread. Last year we had alot of guys involved with the scene keeping their eyes on the thread and I'm sure they would be more than happy to let you know if someone you are considering voting for has actually been active this year.
Now let's get voting!3

“Such fun guys to see wrestle, never fail to make me laugh in a match at some point”

NUMBER 16
D-MAX
2010 Placed: N/A
What some voters said:

Number 10
Sammy D
2010 Placed: N/A
What some voters said:
“Another great wrestler who broke onto the Irish wrestling scene in 2011 in a big way. He started off the year at just 15 years of age. He finished it with victories over many of last year’s list and he even had an NLW title shot.”
“You forget how young he is because he can go toe-to-toe with the veterans and hang in there no problem and that's what makes him must-see”
“FFPW's breakout wrestler of the year 2011 - and with good reason. Sammy D is young but has really developed over the last 12 months with great matches versus OMEN and Tron this year. He has established himself on the NLW roster this year.”
“Great debut year, even wrestled NLW champ Dunkan Disorderly”0 -
Number 9
Robbie Morrisey
2010 Placed: N/A
What some voters said:
“Robbie didn't have as many matches as some of the lads on the list but when he wrestles it’s always a 4 stars plus fight. His bouts against Paddy Morrow and the tag match with Devitt are particular highlights.”
“Tough wrestler and has the look of a born convincing heel.”
“Easily the most improved in ring performer on the Irish scene this year. After a very quite 2010, many in NLW & FFPW consider him the next export to Japan in the New Year. His matches against Paddy Morrow have been some of the best bell to bell matches on Irish soil and he had a 5-star match at Poetry Slam 2 vs. Jordan Devlin and Paul Tracey.”
“Superb heel, great in ring and a distinctive look.”
“Match of the year in the Bray tag match.”0 -
-
NUMBER 7
DUNKAN DISORDERLY
2010 Placed: 4
What some voters said:
“Great look and a good worker. Really improved on his promos and finished the year strong as the NLW champ.”
“He's an absolute powerhouse and despite his size he can move so fast. The belt looks good on him.”
“Just the best all-round guy I’ve seen this year. Great in-ring, promo and physique, seen him as both heel and face and is a natural at both.”
“He had a good year and is the current NLW champion.”
“A guy with a great look and great in ring ability, has been around since day one how he hasn’t gotten snapped up by a major fed is beyond me.”0 -

Number 6
PAUL TRACEY
2010 Placed: 3
What some voters said:
“Great talker great worker and consistently pulls out great matches.”
“Good gimmick, solid worker.”
“He has been the best this year with his nlw title reign and also his trip to Japan wining the nwa title over there as well.”
“Despite a slightly trite gimmick he's Ireland's finest heel.”
“Held the NLW belt for most the year and won a belt in Japan”0 -
NUMBER 5
PHILLY THE KID
2010 Placed: 8
What some voters said:
“By far the best face of 2011. Kids love the guy. He had some really fun matches and every show he gets the loudest reactions.”
“He's a bit of a dark horse but he's one of the biggest talents in Ireland and he gels with just about anyone”
“Fun gimmick, usually the opening act to a card but can still put on a good match.”
“He is a great wrestler and everywhere he wrestles he gets the best reaction also his match with Justin shape was brilliant.”
“Had great matches all year for FFPW, NLW, AWR, Poetry slam and MSW among others. Was involved in the Ladder match in Naas for NLW's 5th anniversary show and had spot of the night with his Thriller Driller off the ladder. Consistently entertaining.”
“Class gimmick and great wrestler. Gimmick’s loved by adults and kids and is done deadly”
“Best in NLW's ladder match in Naas. Always has great matches and the nest crowd reactions.”

NUMBER 4
SHAWN "MAXER" BRENNAN
2010 Placed: 1
What some voters said:
“Last years number 1 has a great look and a master at the art of wrestling. He did us all proud in Japan and only misses out on the top spot of my list because he missed out on Irish dates that he could've made. I won't be surprised to see him win this year and he would well deserve it.”
“I think it's obvious to anyone who sees him in the ring. He's so exciting in there and knows how to wow a crowd. He got rewarded this year with a trip to Japan and that's why he's Ireland's top guy”
“He had a great year, with good matches here in Ireland and also a successful tour with zero 1 pro wrestling.”
“Looks like RVD, performs better than RVD.”
“Great in the ring, great look, worth the price of admission, would rank him higher but has only done a handful of dates in Ireland this year.”
“Great year for him and had a well deserved spell in Japan”0 -
