Now, onto something Rob asked, but obviously he didnt read my post correctly!

There is a simple fact with any top 100/50/20 etc, that when they are being compiled, flavours of the month will always factor high, where as those that have lost popularity over the years will drop down the lists.

Take music for example.
If you did a top 100 albums list about 15 years ago, an album like Appetite for destruction would have ranked right near the top, as Guns N Roses were still a pretty potent musical force.
Now, if that same list was compiled today, not only would newer albums now be on the list, but as Guns N Roses are now considered a bit of a joke due to Axls antics and the "will it wont it be released" Chinese democracy album, you can pretty much guarantee that this will affect Appetites placing.
The album is still as good as it ever was, but the shit thats happened since then will make people think less of it.
You can also bet that if an album by a current flavour of the month, hits quite high in a list today, if the band then fails to continue with a decent career, then in 15 years they wont even feature in the list.

Hogans career in the last few years has done enough to tarnish whatever good he has achieved in the past.

Personally though, it would not surprise me if he is number one, cause if the guy is a Hogan mark, he would never accept Hogan was anything other than the greatest wrestler ever!


Exactly. How much farther up the list would Bill Goldberg be if this list was 10 years earlier or Brock Lesnar if it had been about five years ago.
