As much as I love the Harts  I feel like Stu could be on here for abusing trainees and cleaning the litter box with the same spatula he used to cook pancakes.

If there is no room, then they won't be on. Gave people concussions on purpose definitely fits the criteria. Vader is definitely on in the same tier as Holly since he you know, assaulted people. Stu was a WWE promoter for one year so he fits!

Et: I don't mean this as saying "he's better because he couldn't see", it's more that that clear intentionality from a Low Ki is replaced by a sheer recklessness on Hansen's part that depending on your viewpoint may be worse.

Hansen was also stiffing people who were lighting him up right back, and it was intentionally for the purpose of realism, rather than injuring someone.

"Working stiff" is legitimate criteria, in theory, I think. Certainly "willful disregard for someone's safety" or "deliberate attempts to hurt someone" do. I'm not sure if we can necessarily be sure of some of that stuff or draw a clear line between "working stiff" and "working strong" or whatever. But like, that's mostly just a debate for the matchups, I guess. As long as there aren't much more evil snubs who lose their spots to someone who "worked stiff" then we just hash it out when the 64th seed is someone who hits people hard and they're facing the 1st seed who murdered his family or raped children or something. It will work itself out.

I think being stiff while not cool is not scummy if both wrestlers are on it. Hansen only really went hard with guys that were okay with it whereas Vader and Bob Holly did it to prove points Even than I think even stiffing an unwilling wrestler is probably not enough to get on the list you have to have something more. Also, has Inoki done enough WWF/WWE work to make the tournament?

Low Ki, who's had a sustained pattern of taking liberties with opponents, is different from someone like Finlay, who as far as I'm aware never pulled that stuff on someone who hadn't agreed to hit him just as hard.

Hedgehog Pie posted:I didn't even know he was a thing until I looked him up. Did he actually have anything else to him other than his famous dad (who has a really controversial legacy himself)? He had a few things to his name, such as writing/directing an episode or two of TV before co-writing Chronicle. The success of that movie let him branch into other things, the most successful of which was Bright. He's also done some shorts, such as Wrestling Isn't Wrestling where he told the story of HHH's career and cast all the wrestlers to be women. During the filming of that, he did some things which spawned a few #metoo tweets but someone will need to find the tweets to get more specific. I remember the woman who played Batista mentioned it, but I can't recall the others. Other than his work in TV & Film his biggest contribution to the arts is calling the Star Wars lady a mary sue; starting that whole thing off. Overall the dude isn't bad at making TV length stuff but his longer work suffers and he'd be an absolute unknown if he didn't have a famous helicopter parent.

But yeah he's noted for having a public face and lots of content on his YouTube channel...... Until disappearing after the sexual assault allegations.

Since the qualifications are confusing people I am thinking of just opening it up to anyone who was primarily involved in wrestling as their profession which would exclude Trump, a certain serial killer and Saville. It'd allow in Inoki, Sasaki, Invader 1 and a bunch of other people we're debating, but also take out people like Landis who fit the qualification but not really.

Put Owen Hart in the tournament. mark henry was one of his best friends in WWF, and owen still prank called someone very close to Mark both personally and professionally, and pretended like he was a disgruntled neighbor who was going to shoot and kill all of the man's cows. instead of revealing it to be a joke, Owen allowed the situation to become more and more heated before hanging up. The man, Terry Todd, suffered a great deal of undue stress.

He dabbled in wrestling early on, but the stories I've heard from after he made it are that he would be brought in every now and then for the "celebrity gets beaten up but still wins" spot. Adrian Street claims that he "used to go on and on about the young girls who’d wait in line for him outside his dressing room (...) He’d pick the ones he wanted and say to the rest, ‘Unlucky , come back again tomorrow night’." https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/i-beat-jimmy-savile-black-6265408

If Savile gets added I really can't see anyone else worthy of winning. Vince and Trump are friends but the cover up there went up to Thatcher.

Anyway, if we're opening up the field to non-WWE people then we gotta include Yoshiko for shooting on Act Yasukawa and ending her careerquote:On February 22, 2015, Yoshiko faced former stablemate Act Yasukawa in her third defense of the World of Stardom Championship. The match saw Yoshiko go off script,[25] legitimately beating Yasukawa until veteran wrestler Kyoko Kimura threw in a towel to end the match after less than eight minutes.[26][27] Afterwards, Yasukawa was diagnosed with fractured cheek, nasal and orbital bones, which required surgery.[28][29] Yasukawa had had issues with her eyes before the incident, having undergone a cataract surgery the previous year.[29] On February 25, Stardom held a press conference, during which Yoshiko publicly apologized for the incident, after which she was stripped of the World of Stardom Championship and suspended indefinitely.[30][31] The incident received mainstream attention in Japan and became known as Seisan Matchi (凄惨マッチ, "Ghastly Match").[32][33] The incident also strained the relationship between Stardom's management and top wrestler Nanae Takahashi, leading to Takahashi quitting the promotion in May.[34] On May 31, Stardom announced that Yoshiko had decided to retire from professional wrestling.[35][36] Her retirement ceremony took place on June 14, however, during the closing ten-bell salute meant to signal the end of her career, Yoshiko walked out on the ceremony, leading to questions over whether she was truly retired.[37][38] Yasukawa eventually returned to the ring on September 23, 2015,[39][40] but retired the following December due to the damage inflicted on her eye in the incident with Yoshiko.
