I omitted them from my personal list by mistake too, I was surprised Jumbo didn`t get any love, though, certainly.

I`m sorry to disappoint you...

Can I offer you the number of a good counsellor?

[kingoftheindies]

interesting list so far. Very shocked Liger and Muta are so low.

[Joker]

The Barbarian and Giant Haystacks are probably down to my voting at a guess. Haystacks had to be recognized though he's possibly the most well known british wrestler of the 70s and 80s. (In England) I just mark for Barb though ...

Good list so far ... not so sure about Batista being where he is but ... i'm not one to talk, lol.

[Stotty]

OK! who voted for Batista!?

I had no problem with Haystacks being on the list.

Anyone who can pop and 18 million viewing figure for one match in the UK is worth it in my eyes ;D

Cena only got 38? I'm not a fan, but I thought he would be higher

Glad to see Yoko make the top 50, he was great for his size. I'm kinda pissed that I only sent in a top 10, I left off a lot of wrestlers that I would've liked to see on this list.
