Noticed it was finished. I have some comments and observations. But first, glad to see it updated. I still do not believe the fringe list is necessary. I'm not sure why Lou Thesz and Pat O'Connor get to make the main list but not Edouard Carpentier or Sky Low Low. Sky Low Low was even mentioned by Vince McMahon on RAW last summer. He's more likely than half the main list to get in. I also think Jack Tunney and Toots Mondt can join the main list.That said, people I didn't see on the main list or fringe list. Though maybe I missed some of them. Any plans on adding some of them?Angelo "King Kong" MoscaSean WaltmanDanny HodgeGene LeBellHarvey WhipplemanHans SchmidtGeneral Skandor AkbarAngelo PoffoHisashi ShinmaWillie GilzenbergLinda McMahonFrank GotchGeorge HackenschmidtJim LondosEd "Stangler" LewisWild Bill LongsonJoe StetcherBulldog BrowerBig DaddyTerri RunnelsJohnny AceFuture list guysTriple HBig ShowChristianThe Hardy BoysMark HenryMichael ColeShane McMahonStephanie McMahonJohn CenaRandy OrtonetcFinally, I think J.J. Dillon, Slick, Lord Alfred Hayes and the Bushwackers should move into the top 100. Replacing who I believe to be the four weakest top 100 candidates, Ken Shamrock, Jody Hamilton, Shane Douglas, and Jimmy Garvin. It's mainly because of the way WWE views those four that I believe they should make the top 100. When Lord Alfred Hayes died, they gave him a 10 bell salute, video memorial and Jim Ross spoke about him on RAW. They don't do that for many people. Dillon appears on their legends of wrestling shows so often that he's always on their minds. Slick is one of the few top 15 managers ranked by WWE superstars not yet in the hall of fame. He was flown into Wrestlemania 23 just to dance. Plus they brought him in for old school raw. The Bushwackers, well it has always been clear that WWE favors their gimmick when referencing the past. Thoughts? Other opinions?

Angelo Mosca is "relevant" again. He took a cheap shot from Joe Kapp at the recent CFL Alumni luncheon. The video even made it on ESPN, though Mosca's wrestling days were not mentioned.If J.R. had his way, Danny Hodge would have been elected a long time ago. I can agree with the suggested moves, although the Bushwackers always bothered me. The Sheepherders were such an awesome tag team, just brutal. Their wars with the Fantastics provided some of my favorite matches from the 80's. To reduce them to a total comedy role at the end was too bad, although I doubted they could go as they used to by that point.
