I think the Hart Family should be in the top 10-15, especially if you look at the impact and the longevity they had.
Moolah on the other hand is way way too high. I even doubt she actually deserve a spot there...

I even doubt she actually deserve a spot there... Well the person who's idea I borrowed this list from, has the Hart Family ranked the exact same as I do. They did alot for the Industry, and deserve there spot, just not in the 10-15. Hey 32 is a good number! I agree that I might have ranked Moolah too high, but there is no doubt that she deserves her spot on this list. She is, without question, the most famous women’s wrestler of all-time. She remains the most accomplished female wrestler ever, and one of the most dominant champions of either gender. In addition, she also opened a women’s wrestling school where she trained and promoted a variety of new female wrestlers. Because of her more and more women decided to join in a sport once considered mainly for men. However, It is a shame, that she is no longer viewed as influencial or great anymore. Her occasional comedy appearances as a weird old women with Mae Young shows her to the audience in an unflattering way and shows how out of prime she is. It also tarnishes her Legacy. (She is ranked #25 now)

How can it be a top 100 if there are more than 100 people on the list?

Well, I wanted it that way, but everyone wanted to include the factions, like nWo and DX as a whole. Also some just needed to be included together like the Road Warriors.

Since it was I who suggested the top five and a damn load of the guys on this list, dammit i want some credit!
And yes I am a mark for myself!
But seriously, it's a decent list. You gotta remember that this is a list of most INFLUENTIAL. Guys like CM Punk are talented but haven't left a trailblaze like Hogan, Flair or Austin have. Give them time though and they will appear on the list
Also i did suggest the Great Muta under his real name (or at least current wrestling name) of Keiji Mutoh, but this along with a couple of more recent Japanese guys was shot down by a couple of posters, most notably the pro-wwe crowd. But who am i to complain.

I think Russo should be higher. The man was responsible for the golden age of televised wrestling, and eventually killed (in my opinion) a whole company. The man was influential in both good ways and bad, and i feel a top 60 spot is where he's at.

How the hell is Triple H in front of the nWo and Paul Heyman? The man shouldn't even be anywhere near the top 50. Triple H has never ever been anything more than a great foil. When he doesn't have someone to stack up against, he has done nothing. He hasn't drawn as a champion, he has buried countless guys that would have been huge just...blah.

There's alot of those that are out of order IMO...I think Hogan should be first...even though it WAS Vince's idea...but Hogan was the face to market which is why he is one of the 10 most recognizable faces in the world.

I think the list mis-represents the word influential.

I believe Kurt Angle should be a little higher up; if not him, then Benoit or Guerrero. These 3 are the first names I think of when talking about the modern-day product. What I mean by that is that these three brought actual wrestling into WWF/E programming, as opposed to the late 1990's, with the Attitude era.

Thank you for the feedback people! I agree with some, and I will try to edit the list. I think the list mis-represents the word influential. Ok, But how so...? *because you don't agree with it? This list wasn't made up by Me by Myself, it was from the thoughts and suggestions of other members on this forum, who voiced their thoughts on the top 100 most influential in a different thread. THIS ONEYou're a new member here, so you never saw that thread, so i'm just explaining. If you want the list different, please help by giving feedback on how to help improve it. Thank you btw.. This is a list of most influential, not "I like him better so he should go higher than this other guy that I don't like because he sucks!" I made this thread in an unbiased way. So please keep it unbiased!

I wasn't being biased, I meant that if we're talking about influential that means who influenced the most, so it'd be not only whos style was most copied or who put an ass every 18 inches but also who controlled what went on backstage or pioneered what went on years later.

what about the Straight Edge CM Punk... does he get anything Though CM Punk was ROH Champion, he hasn't held any major world titles (ROH is a big indie, but is an indie nonetheless). Though he has a gimmick which would possibly be a good influence on kids, he's also (a) a heel and (b) in the realms of ALL TIME WRESTLING, a nobody. Though he was totally over in ROH, his long-term impact- since he's only really been around in the last three years- is impossible to measure right now. You may as well put Ken Kennedy in there.
