Guest DeputyHawk Report post Posted May 19, 2004 Woo hoo! Dames & Tom finally relented and gave me a posting account for the main site. I'll wait until next month before putting the first column up proper as I've been systematically going back upgrading the scores of the IWA Mid-South, 3PW and Jersey All-Pro guys for the running year totals. Just got the Revolution Pro guys to upgrade then I think things will be ready to go, will try to learn some basic HTML (thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Tom) to get some images up for at least the Top 10 every month. Anyway, with the exception of Rev Pro which I'll upgrade over the next few days (the main mover probably being Super Dragon), this is the Push-Me Poll Top 100 for 2004 so far, which I'll go on to update once a month following each new column which goes up on the main site. This column is hard freakin' work, but I live for lists and I'm trying to make this one as representative as possible. Hope at least a few of you think it's a worthwhile venture. Cheers, DeputyHawk EDIT: Now updated for Revolution Pro PUSH-ME POLL 2004 (January-April) 1---Chris Benoit 199pts 2---Eddie Guerrero 180 3---Triple-H 155 4---Shawn Michaels 151 5---Brock Lesnar 84 6---Randy Orton 80 7---Kurt Angle 78 8---The Big Show 78 9---A.J.
