Jack Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 1. AJ Styles 2. Shawn Michaels 3. Samoa Joe 4. Kenta Kobashi 5. Kurt Angle 6. Kenta 7. Christopher Daniels 8. Naomichi Marufuji 9. Eddie Guerrero 10. Kensuke Sasaki 11.Chris Benoit 12. Rey Mysterio 13. Satoshi Kojima 14. Edge 15. Jamie Knoble 16. Triple H 17. Toshiaki Kawada 18. Austin Aries 19. Chris Jericho 20. Jun Akiyama 21. Yoshinobu Kanemaru 22. Koji Kanemoto 23. CM Punk 24. Chris Harris 25. Suwa 26. Bryan Danielson 27. Hiroshi Tananashi 28. James Storm 29. Roderick Strong 30. Chris Sabin 31. Shelton Benjamin 32. Doug Williams 33. Alex Shelly 34. Christian 35. Low Ki 36. Petey Williams 37. Hiroyshi Tenzan 38. Milano Collection A.T 39. Takashi Suguira 40.Randy Orton 41. Eric Young 42. Jay Lethal 43. Matt Hardy 44. Homicide 45. Nigel Mcguiness 46. Jeff Jarret 47. Abyss 48. Booker T 49. Batista 50. SabuI actually think that is a reasonable list. There are a few mistakes I would say, such as Ric Flair not being in there (The Triple H feud alone, is worthy of him beating Sabu, or James Storm), and some wrestlers who have had a phenomenal year, see James Gibson is being overlooked, for say Benoit, who has how many great matches this year? None at all. But overall, I think this list is far better than the usual rubbish by websites, and magazines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave7g Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I dont see why HBK and Angle are so high, 2005 has been a bad year for them both, apart from the 2 matches they had together. Nice to see Cena completely ignored though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimi kane Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Id liked to have seen maybe Raven or Rhino on there, and I completely agree with dave7g. Im I the only one who thinks AJ Styles is overrated? Joe for number 1. Great year for the bigman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave7g Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Yeah, I would definetly have put Joe at number 1, with AJ and Daniels numbers 2 and 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENE Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 It's a good list except Michaels should be further down whilist Eric Young,Randy Orton,Edge & Booker T shouldn't even be on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Kane Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Why is Booker T above Batista? :? Strange to see HBK in at No.2, I'd definaltly put Joe and Daniels above him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Gringo Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Top 5 in my eyes... 1. KENTA 2. Samoa Joe 3. AJ Styles 4. Chris Daniels 5. Marufuji and then at 6 Bryan Danielson.... But hey these lists are incredibly subjective... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Styles Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 not a bad list.. nice to see ReyRey and Eddie RIP high.. and AJ top.. personally though i would have had AJ at number 1 and HBK at 2 so it's ok with me.. batista is too low... Edge is too high and booker shouldn't even be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The B-Man Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Looks the most realistic list out there to be fair to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave7g Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Maybe a WWE guy could have crept into your list around 30-40? Its not my list, but realistically who in WWE has done anything worthwhile this year? Cena isnt even on it and he's the WWE's top guy!

cenarules Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 It's great to see AJ Styles at number one. I haven't seen anyone that can do half of what he can do. Every one of his matches is exciting. But what are Edge, Booker T, and Jeff Jarrett doing on that list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormey Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 what the hell is this list. Cena should easily be top. What did this guy base the list on. It seems to me that this guy based it on talent and technical ability. Sadly alot of the time that is not important. The list is not the best technical wrestler, It is who has had the best year. Cena has been in and won every Pay per view main event possible since wrestlemania. Batista to should be higher. Even if others have had runs like that cena did it in the most popular and mainstream organisation. In my opinion this list is a load of crap. What did this guy base it on? P.S.I don't actually like cena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave7g Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 It's based on talent and workrate I suppose, something Cena or Batista just don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jung Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Samoa Joe would have been top for me, but hey at least its better than the ol PWI 500. God knows, I probably couldn't be bothered to try and wonder how El Hijo Del Santo gets top 10 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Angle was beyond great, now just really good though. I agree with this list, HBK has had some great performances this year. Angle x3 Shelton Carlito Hogan He made all of those matches.

Brad Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Good list overall, Nice to see AJ recognised as number 1, you might think he is overated and i do a bit seeing that he has does the same now again and again in the ring, he still had some great matches this year with daniels, williams and joe.

Kanenite Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Maybe a WWE guy could have crept into your list around 30-40? :worship I couldn't agree more. Actually i'd love to see a top 50 list of Dave's. If you wouldn't mind say tomorrow. Anyway I think the list is quite reasonable, there are a few names to be puzzled about why they even made it, but i'd say it's better than any other i've seen in the past year.

HH-Evolution Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) Eh, I wouldn't be so hard on some of those guys - if they gave their all, and did the best they could then the commendation is well deserved, regardless of their actual status, or whatnot. Besides, top 30 lists are all usually based on and judged against by personal views - just because you don't agree with those wrestlers doesn't mean somehow they deserve to be sent straight to hell. No one opinion is the right one...hence, why teh Cena fan/hater debate rages on for example. Personally, I can't argue on many of those points...purely because I only know of the WWE guys on that there list. Me, I'm a fan of most of the guys there...I'm not watching 100% for the skills, I watch for what I find to entertain myself personally. We all do! Even though you might claim to not understand why some of those guys on there deserve the places they have on the chart, it doesn't mean they don't...it's all based on what appeals to you, and what you allow/disallow in your own views as good and bad. Heck, this post is redundant and probably likely to get shot down 'cause you guys know more on this than I, a humble casual fan who reads the net responses and agree on some, if not all, that you guys point out. I personally admit to being a small fan of Cena an' Edge...they ain't the best, but on some small level they do what they say on the tin, even if that doesn't apply to 70/80% of the IWC. ...Hell, I'm a Triple H fan. I'm already used to being in the minority as it is!!! XD My point? Meh, I guess it's have your opinions - but don't forget there's 2 sides to every coin. *Puts soapbox away* Okay, one request...don't pelt those tomatoes at me too hard now.
