Thread Idea - RealGM Best Wrestlers of All Time Project

Post #1 » by **jr lucosa** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 5:08 am

I occasionally check in on the basketball Player Comparisons board on this site, and for a couple of months now they have been doing a RealGM 50 Highest Peaks Project (thread here http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=1197732 ) and I like to check in on the threads as I find it interesting to get fellow RealGM'ers opinions on best of all time lists, then tonight it hit me! Why don't we try a RealGM 50 Best Wrestlers project?

The way it would work in theory is we get a panel of voters together, any of you who want to be involved can, and we start at #1 and have everyone vote and give a reason why.

example - Vote: Stone Cold, he was the most popular superstar during arguably the highest point in wrestling popularity wise, had a huge fan base, extremely memorable matches and feuds, etc. etc.

We can debate and try to make cases for our votes and people can change votes until we close voting for that number, everyone who is on the panel gets a vote for each number and the wrestler with the. For an example of how it could work, they are currently on #28 Highest Peak on the PC board and the link to that thread is right here http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=1207613 So in theory RealGM #1 best wrestler of all time thread would go first and stay open for however long we decide on, we tally the votes, lock the thread and start on #2. Sounds easy and fun, right?

We could close voting every week, two weeks, whatever you guys are comfortable with. It wouldn't have to be 50 best if that seems excessive. I'd be down for top 20 or 30... or 50, whatever people are willing to commit to.

This would obviously take a bit of time and thought to complete so I wanted to throw this out there and see how much (if any) interest there is, any type of feedback would be appreciated.

Little confused cuz it's passed 2 and I'm reading this, but sure why not.

Why bother? WWE has already told us who the best wrestlers of all time are.

This could be fun, as long as a certain moderator with a man crush doesn't put Damien Sandow in the top 10...

IDK what you guys think but I'm thinking we would probably need about 8-10 people involved to make this happen.

Anyone else who might be thinking about it, I don't think it should be too hard or too much work. Just vote/change vote every week or two and discuss the nominated rasslers.
