Brian Danielson being lower on this list than Orton is like The Godfather being lower on a "Greatest movies of all time" list than Epic Movie.
I love Power Slam, but I thumb my nose in their general direction here.

I love Powerslam (so much better than that crappy "fighting spirit" which seems to hog all the attention) but this list sucks.

Danielson = Best in the World. When, oh when will they finally get this?
That means number 1.
Always.

Fighting Spirit is so laughably awful, they seem to review any free stuff sent to them by anyone (do we really need several reviews on that god awful womens extreme wrestling promotion). The rest of the magazine reads like embarassingly enthusiastic essays written by kids who've been told they can write about whatever they like for their GCSE mock exam.
As far as Randy Orton goes I think he is justified as being ranked higher than Danielson. One simply has to look at their situations. Danielson is an independent wrestler performing to crowds of at most a few thousand. He has almost complete creative control and few political hassles to contend with. Orton meanwhile is a WWE main eventer whos matches offer far less scope for creativity and has to do as the company want in each match to keep himself in a job.

Fighting spirit annoys me because on one issue they were tackling social issues, talking about how wrestling is degrading to women, and how terrible this is...and in the same issue they had a sexy and somewhat revealing picture of Torrie. And they have Karen Angle in her underwear in this one!
Alvarez writes for FS, so it's not all bad.

Meh...
I'm getting the impression this list is meant as a "smarks only" ranking but done while keeping some sort of mainstream appeal.
"Let's throw the big names among "educated fans" in the top positions, but let's not forget the WWE guys"
To me it's like those "Best Band" rankings where Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are in by default...

Fighting Spirit is WAY better than Powerslam, at least THEY give two damns about British wrestling, where was the Pac's the Martin Stone's the Darren Burridge's on that list!
