PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2006 Rey's a tad high as well, that's the first thing that strikes me about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wyld Cannon 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2006 This list is too smarky to have Cena on it. An even more glaring omission I think would be Minoru Suzuki. Haha TAKARSHI Saguira. Reminds me of Tie-jiri. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Chaos 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2006 RVD's way too high. He had one memorable match (with Cena) all year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Untitled Report post Posted December 21, 2006 Its a damn shame that Bryan Danielson has been working with good to great wrestlers this year. If he had to carry some of the crap Edge has had to carry, he'd be 1st without a shadow of a doubt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2006 Actually I thought RVD was way too low. Hell, he flat out HAS to be higher than Rey given that he kicked his ass head to head and Rey also got beat down way too many times in non title matches. No offense to Austin Aries, but the dude is mainly known as being Kevin Nash's lackey. RVD held 2 world titles this year, won an IC title, won a Money in the Bank match, etc. He also had a clean PPV win over the guy ranked #1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2006 Cabbage, it's a workrate list, not a kayfabe ranking list. If it was, don't you think Cena would definately be on there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's in ring performances that count. RVD's had one or two good matches but the rest has been fairly meh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jericho2000Mark 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2006 In what universe is Edge a better worker than Danielson, Morishima, KENTA, Benoit, Angle and Marufuji?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2006 Edge being #1 on the list indicates to me that this is NOT purely a workrate list, since there are certainly better actual technical wrestlers than him. It's just that he finally broke through and won the title this year. Lists like this are really stupid as hell, frankly dumber than the PWI kayfabe lists. At least with those they go on what kind of year the guy actually had, mixed in with some note on the wrestler's actual ability. And by the way, here are the good-very good matches I can think of from RVD this year: vs. Carlito on Raw vs. Big Show and HHH (#1 contender) MITB from WM vs. Shelton (Backlash, IC vs. MITB) vs. Cena (ONS, WWE title) vs. Edge (WWE, Vengeance) vs. Cena (Raw, WWE title, DQ) vs. Edge and Cena (lost WWE title) From ECW TV: RVD/Angle vs. Edge/Orton RVD vs. Angle (WWE/ECW title) RVD and Sabu vs. Test and Mike Knox, ECW rules RVD vs. Hardcore Holly, ECW rules (Holly injury) RVD vs. Test, ECW rules Those are the ones I thought up off the top of my head, and it's certainly more than just a couple of good matches.

The Niggardly King 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2006 This list is bad even from a workrate perspective. PETEY WILLIAMS? SHAWN MICHAELS? RVD AT 22? KURT ANGLE AT 15? JOHN CENA NOT EVEN ON THE LIST? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
