6th Annual WZ Tournament Bracket Unveiling

He probably thinks Dolph Ziggler is the best in the world today. Haven't you heard? Getting kicked in the leg and bumping on your head is what wrestling is all about.

It wasn't Perfect's gimmick that was the problem in 2002. It was the fact that he was a 43 year old with a bad back.

I don't buy the aging and injured story, as WWE has rewarded plenty of aging superstars in the past. Unfortunately Perfect passed before we could get to see if WWE would have rewarded him with a World title reign.

The top 28 are in an order that I tried to pick as objectively as possible. The other 100 are pretty much my favourites, and people I felt obliged to pick, like Chris Benoit and Sid Vicious.

The WWE rewards aging guys but only ones that are consistently with the company. With the exception a few appearances as a guest ref and Triple H's manager, Mr Perfect was gone almost a decade.
 
I despise you all sometimes. A slightly better year for the old school than is typical, but since I'm claiming 95% of the credit for that don't think I'll be cutting you any slack.

Off the cuff observations. Ed Lewis is going out round one and it is disgusting. WCW is where almost all the interesting matches are happening. Most competitive first round match for me is Gotch vs Benoit; not that I have the slightest chance, but it'll be the most clear cut case of me being right and everyone else being ******ed. Maybe I can tap into the whole 'murder suicide' thing, bring a little class to the debate. Oh, and Antonio Rocca is a better wrestler than Brock Lesnar using every conceivable yardstick that there is.

So...what you're saying is that Perfect probably never would have gotten a title run with WWE because he wasn't consistent, and especially not the one destined for JBL...so why should he go over JBL again?
