Guest DeputyHawk Report post Posted March 8, 2004 Ha ha, no it's my own work, shamefully enough. It's a poll I do once a month to amuse myself and try to catergorise who the 50 most successful NA wrestlers of any given month are, based on who's main eventing and what major shows workers have appeared on. It's not remotely based on workrate, simply the push people are currently receiving, hense 'The Push-Me Poll'. I don't think it's exactly going to set the wrestling world on fire, but it's good fun to compile so I'll keep posting it here once a month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
