The Top 20 Matches Of...Week 3 (Vote Now!)

[Waffel113]

(This week's topic was selected at random by Brood Lone Wolf Funker. If you find this week's list difficult to create, please direct irate personal messages to him. Thank you. )

DA RULES:

1. Specify which match you're talking about when you vote. 'Cena vs. Orton' isn't very helpful considering how many times they've wrestled in the past.

2. While I'm sure the house show match you saw between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose was fantastic, please keep your votes to televised matches.

3. Send your votes in a top 10 format. #1 is 10 points, #2 is 9 points, and so on. If you can't choose between two or more matches, bust out a coin and start flipping.

4. As a basic rule, only matches from WWE, WCW, ECW and TNA are to be permitted. This might change in the future.

5. Deadline for ballots is next Friday at 8 PM EST, the start of SmackDown. Results will be calculated/counted down the following day, Sunday, and into the week if I'm lazy extenuating circumstances prevent the countdown from being finished before then.

So, who's the subject of Week 3 of the Top 20 revival? Like Big Show, he is one of the most well-recognized wrestlers in the world today. He is credited, along with WCW's exciting Cruiserweight Division, with introducing the lucha libre style of wrestling to American audiences at large. He grew his reputation in Mexico, WCW, and ECW. He is a two time World Heavyweight Champion, one time WWE Champion, multi-time Intercontinental Champion, and a Royal Rumble winner.

He is the King of Mysteries, the Ultimate Underdog, and the Master of the 619 himself.

He is...



Rey Mysterio

Previous results:

[Big Bad Brad]

I'll think of some matches tonight

[bob]

old gravel knees himself.....this should be much easier to think of matches for then Big Show

[Waffel113]

Yeah, but I think the possible issue here would be limiting yourself to 10. Rey-Rey's had a lot of a great matches.

[Big Bad Brad]

[Crappler El 0 M]

I made an initial list of 13 matches with a few WWE and ECW matches, but mostly WCW matches. Obviously I'll have to narrow it down. Not appearing on the list are CM Punk and Chavo Guerrero. The span of matches range from 1995 to 2009.

[bob]

hints:

matches from all 3 companies

nothing from Monday nights

no Chavo

1 tag match

1 WM match

no matches from any Royal Rumble

3 free TV matches, including one I'm doubting anyone else votes for

[Hulkshi Tanahashi]

Sent my list in.

6 WWE matches
4 WCW matches
7 Title matches (3 Cruiserweight, 2 WWE Tag Team, 1 Intercontinental, 1 World Heavyweight)
4 Gimmick matches
7 Singles matches
2 Tag Team matches
2 Matches with 6 wrestlers
Matches range from 1996-2009

I've narrowed my list from 13 to 10, but I'm going to sit on the list to make sure I'm happy with it.

Here are some stats about my list:

1. 1 Tag Match
2. 2 ECW Matches
3. 5 WCW Matches
5. 3 WWE Matches
6. No Nitros. No SmackDowns.
7. Half the list comes from 1996.
8. No Chavo Guerrero. No CM Punk.
9. Matches span from 1995 to 2009
10. From the 'Big Two' there is only one 'TV Match'

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

- Number 1 is a no brainer. It will win running away, as it should.
- 2 free television matches (in the same year against the same opponent) and 8 ppvs
- 5 from 1996, 3 from 2009, 1 from 1997 and 2011

[MikeyMania]

Hmm, I've seen very little of Rey's work in WCW and ECW so I'll give it a couple of days before I send in my list.

[Waffel113]

In less than 24 hours, we've already matched last week's ballot total.

[Manute Bol]

-My list was all WWE
-3 were on free television and each of those 3 were from a different show (RAW, Smackdown, etc)
-Rey's win/lose record was 6-3-1 in the matches I selected

[MikeyMania]

Initial list is 18 matches and that excludes some matches that I'm sure will be on other people's lists. Damn you Waffel, making me think about things.

[Waffel113]

I do try.

[AdamAFL was sooooo wrong]

I may have missed a few out. I definitely missed out one of his matches with Juventud from ECW but I couldn't remember when it was or really anything about it other than it blowing my mind but here goes anyway:

4 Took place in WCW
6 Took place in WWE
7 are single matches
1 is a Tag Match
1 is a Triple Threat
1 is a Fatal-4-Way
None took place at Wrestlemania
1 took place on Smackdown
1 took place on Raw
8 took place on PPV
Matches range from 1996-2011
6 out of 10 are Championship matches
1 person appears on the list more than once (that isn't Rey himself) but is not actually a repeat opponent (I love this clue )
14 unique opponents
Rey's record is 5-5
