Who Will Be #143???

[Lee]

surely Justin backs Stevie

 

[IrishCanadian25]

Don Leo Jonathan.

4 time AWA world heavyweight champion.
Held tag team gold with 20 differed partners.
Wrestling Observer and Pro Wrestling Museum hall of famer.

A 340lb, 6ft6 Mormon giant, who blows every man on Irish's sig away in terms of athletic ability. DLJ holds victories over such superstars as Killer Kowalski, Dory Funk Jr and Andre the Giant. He also successfully pinned Lou Thesz for the second of three falls.

Don Leo Jonathan could fly off the top rope at his hearts inclination. He could perform back flips, cartwheels and somersaults at the drop of a hat. He could nip up, and clothesline an opponent's head off all in one fluid motion. One incidence that sticks in the memory, is of DLJ lifting an opponent onto the turnbuckle, then elevating himself sufficiently to dropkick that man straight into the crowd. Jonathan was literally a miracle of nature.

DLJ for the Wrestlezone tournament.

I won't go so far as to concede that he's better than ANYONE on my sig...but I back Gelgarin's choice here.

Stevie = Shit.

 

[justinsayne]

God why don't we just make a danm SHW's divsion for the tournement while we're at it

and yes Lee I back Stevie, for some strange reason I've always liked that guy

 

[NSL]

New Jack

If you want a man that could make a deep run in the tournament it would be New Jack. This mother fucker is crazy. He's actually killed a man before. He seems to have no remorse for the pain he inflicts on peoples bodies, and that's a very good quality to have in the wrestlezone tournament. He could take any wreslter in the tournament. It doesnt matter how big the guy is, he'd just taser him and pin him. Hell, he even threatened to beat our very own Chris Cash's ass.

He was actually on my list...Albeit at #100...

I hated him, and only put him on the list, so he could get creamed by a guy like Gagne.

Well if that's the case as far as the tag titles go, I'll be backing Nick Dinsmore. 11 OVW tag title reigns, a WWE tag title reign, and 9 OVW Title reigns. If that's not regional dominance I don't know what is.

Not a bad choice...I'll put my support behind Dinsmore, even though I can't.

What do these guys have in common?

Big Show
King Kong Bundy
Crash Holly
Perry Saturn
Farrooq
Bryan Danielson
Mikey Whipwreck

These guys were on my list...

David Arquette

You have lost all respect that you gained from me...

 

[Lee]

The 7 listed, including two former world champions were in the list of the tourney organiser UNDERNEATH Stevie Richards.

AWESOME IDEA!

Justin, I knew you'd come around!

 

[BooCocky]

Did Val Venis make the tournament? If not, I'll back him if Stevie doesn't get in.

 

[Shadowmancer]

Indian Joe, he has to be the oldest wrestler still active. And New Jack beat the crap out of him.

 

[Lee]

he is in yeah.

 

[Tastycles]

To those picking the final spot,
There is someone you've all forgot,
His brother was blessed with less speed,
But managed to be a top five seed,
In every match he truly shined,
He beat Hulk Hogan in 1989,
There's one man who should really be,
In this tourney at number 143,
He's the best for the spot and you know it,
It's Leaping Lanny Poffo, the wrestling poet.

 

[a0161613]

Is Chris Harris in the tourney. I don't remember seeing him. If he is then I will be posting here later to back him. However jmt's Hayabusa is an awesome pick.

Irs

 

[klunderbunker]

He's already in.

 

[Tastycles]

Don't have Stevie, the also ran,
'cause The Genius is the rightful man.
Voting Genius will improve your life,
And get with girls like his brother's wife,
Lanny Poffo was a pain dispenser,
Better than all of right to censor,
So get him in at 143
So he can reach the final with Randy.

There are so many great wrestlers in the tournament, and much to my surprise, there are a lot of great wrestlers in the tournament who aren't American. But there was one Japanese wrestler left out of this thing, who should, without a doubt, be in it. And his name is Hayabusa.

I first saw Hayabusa on probably the greatest pay-per-view ECW has ever held and in my opinion, one of the greatest wrestling pay-per-views of all time, in Heat Wave 1998. That night he teamed up with Jinsei Shinzaki (Hakushi in the WWF) and had an absolutely SUPERB match against Rob Van Dam and Sabu. After seeing that, I became a fan of his. I loved his look, and to this day he is the most graceful wrestler I've ever seen. It wasn't until a few years later where I had the means to actually see some more of his stuff, but when I did, he became a favorite of mine and remained one of my favorites to this day.

Every time he performed, he gave it his all. His fucking all, as much as anyone has ever given in the business. Hayabusa has had some of the most dangerous, unbelievably shocking bumps one has ever had in pro wrestling. But the thing about him was, unlike most "Harcore" guys and wrestlers who were known in FWA, the guy could actually go out and have a GREAT match without the "hardcore" aspect involved in the contest. The man really could work in his ass off in any type of match. He was also a great promo cutter, as well (obviously I can't speak Japanese and of course there were no subtitles, but you could just tell from his emotions alone on the microphone that he was damn good at interviews), and had a ton of charisma. He was one of the most over wrestlers Japan has ever had.

Moreover, he had a TREMENDOUS feud against Mr. Gannosuke in FMW. A feud, I might add, that ended in a match with none other than SHAWN MICHAELS as special guest referee. That alone shows how big this feud was in Japan, and to this day it's one of the greatest feuds the country has ever seen.

The fact is that Hayabusa is one of the greatest, most recognizable, and most acclaimed wrestlers to ever come out of Japan and he deserves to be in this tournament. He was an innovator, and carried a company on his back for nearly ten years. The company died when he got injured; that's how much he meant to it. He was also a tough motherfucker in the ring, where it took uncountable amounts of punishment to finish him off. In this tournament, where there are so many great high flyers and foreign wrestlers, it'll be a shame to leave out one of, if not THE, best wrestlers in BOTH of those categories.

By far the best, most convincing post in this thread.

But listen, I'm a big Stevie Richards fan, but the guy was a fucking jobber, except for like three months in the original ECW, where he fucked up his push by being a moron. He would tell you that himself.

Hayabusa is a legend. Stevie Richards is a jobber. Stevie Ray sucked ass. Don Leo Jonathan is too unknown. And The Genius was just another jobber who rode the coattails of his brother throughout his career. Seriously, out of THOSE names, Hayabusa is the way to go, no question about it.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Former world champion.

You've seen more Arquette matches than you have Bockwinkel.

You're more entertained by him than you are Bockwinkel.

He was the last great WCW champion.

He'll get people talking.

He's got mainstream credibility. Everybody likes Scream and See Spot Run.

What's more memorable, Booker T as a five time WCW champ, Jeff Jarrett as WCW champ, Vince Russo as WCW champ, Scott Steiner as WCW champ or David Arquette as WCW champ?

I could carry on, but I really don't need to.

 

[NSL]

I don't think I saw Kamala anywhere...He'd be interesting...

 

[Hip2bsquare]

Alex Wright/Berlyn. You cant have Disco Inferno in the tournament without having his dancing buddy in there to provide some giggles. Post round dance off perhaps?

 

[Lee]

I don't think I saw Kamala anywhere...He'd be interesting...

Stevies neck > Kamals leg

 

[BooCocky]

Dolph Ziggler for 143

 

[Y 2 Jake]

If it's not Arquette. It should be Kong or Trish Stratus. Depending on who they're up against popularity could get them through the 1st round.
