Thanks, really fascinating. This kind of poll makes me wonder if it's best for a wrestler to be universally liked or to split opinions. Whatever the answer Febix needs a belt soon. Conti, Archer and Deeb being the only three in the top 40 not to get a strong dislike vote is particularly interesting. Archer in particular as you'd think he'd have at least one hater. I've warmed up to Archer. Now I just roundly dislike everything he does, instead of despising every bone in his body. Or maybe I just hate the Elite angle so much it's thrown Archer into sharp relief, I am one of two people who love me some Nak. One one hand it just goes to show EVERY wrestler has fans and people who dislike them, on the other hand this ranking seems odd like the weighting seems off.. I don't like to critcize as it's clearly a ton of work to do this, and Lizuka deserves thanks. I think the weighting is right on point, it’s essentially a rating of 1 to 5.

Did people just vote against Nakazawa as a meme or is he genuinely hated?

Yeah, Nakazawa's shtick was very much nausea fuel until recently. He's a hard sell for a lot of people - I only find his oil deal funny on occasion, and I never really find the jockstrap stuff entertaining.
The recent stuff isn't a huge amount better, but it's a lot more watchable for more people, I'd wager.

I'm really curious what D3's deal is because I have zero clue who he is but apparently most of the people who do know him heavily dislike him.
... Admittedly even just looking at a picture of him, yeah, I kinda get it.

Cody being tied with Serpentico made me laugh more than it should have.
Rosa Fenix and Penta definitely earned those spots. Kingston being tied for 6th also warmed my heart
Very nice job on this Lizuka. Can't be the easiest thing in the world but it's fun to at least see some of FAN's perspectives on talents in the company.
And yes I think D3's voting is entirely based on his look. He isn't bad in ring but... yeah.

Admittedly even just looking at a picture of him, yeah, I kinda get it. Yeah, kinda begins and ends at, "Doofy jobber with a silly Roman centurion outfit." IIRC he might have been the dude who complained about his pay for the first Double or Nothing the week that Brodie Lee passed away? I'm actually not remembering for sure if that was him, but if it was, that would probably account for active dislike. Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, I'm already unsure about positing this half-remembered thing since it would be pretty not-good to associate it with him. (If someone contradicts me, I'll edit this post.) The wrestler who complained about pay was Dylan Bostic, who for some reason followed me on Twitter a few years ago despite never interacting with him. All I do there is like and re-tweet.

I knew that wouldn't have been D3, he was recently on DARK and Elevation shows. I imagine if he made a thing about his pay during the Brodie Lee stuff he never would have been brought back.

A few interesting things I noticed.
Moxley and Rosa are tied for the most Loved votes (70), but Moxley had a few more haters.
Kenny Omega had the most strongly disliked votes (10) of anyone in the Top 50. (For the record I was one of them).
Omega and Mox were tied for the fewest No Strong Opinion votes, 1 each.
The biggest gap between tag partners in popularity is Butcher and the Blade - Blade's tied for 83 and Butcher's 34, for a 49 point differential. I was expecting the biggest gap to be between Evans and Angelico, but theirs was only 37.
The person in the bottom 25 with the fewest No Opinions, was Jim Ross with 12. Marko Stunt was 2nd at 16.
Big Swole was surprisingly low, she's not well liked on several internet forums but on this one she's always seemed quite popular.

Well 100 plus people voted on this and from polling experience a lot of people who vote on things are not active speakers on these boards. So there could be a lot of people who votes on this who hate certain talents but don't comment on it publicly.

I think that is down to how many more people voted than post regularly. I usually don't notice more than two dozen different posters in a live thread (if that), and there were many more votes than that. We clearly have a lot of lurkers.

I do wonder if the ranking isn't weighing a bit too heavily towards people who aren't strongly disliked over people who are both strongly liked and disliked to really accurately gauge popularity, hence somebody like Danny Limelight outranking Cody, Jericho, and the Bucks.

I mean considering Cody, The Bucks, and Jericho are some of the top draws for the company overall it's important to note this is just FAN opinion and not the general AEW publics. But it does seem interesting how some of them skewed.

To the two people who voted Strongly Dislike to Alex Marvez: pray that one day you stand judgment only before god, and not a being less merciful.

I figure Swole's time spent away probably hurt her, along with some people disliking the Dentist office brawl match, which honestly didn't bother me any.

This board loves Death Triangle, huh? It's good to see so many women highly ranked.
The two people who strongly dislike Hangman, and the three that strongly dislike Eddie Kingston have no soul (joke)

Couple of things I found interesting myself.
- Jungle Boy is the only person in the top 25 who has more Like votes than Love ones.
- You wouldn't think Ricky Starks would perform so well. I think the guy's great but he does feel less frequently praised than a lot of the others around him.
