The criteria is:
workrate
drawing power
professional success
importance to history
competetive longevity
charisma
promo skills
mainstream status achieved

The wrestler must be 35 years old or have 15 years in the business. wrestlers who died before their 35th birthday will be considered eligible

Peet Cassidy may want in as well. He's been posting a lot in the other forum. Are you going to post an announcement in the other thread so everyone knows this thread is open for biz?

This could be a tough vote. I honestly have no idea about wrestlers from any era before the 80's so I cant give an accurate grade to some who may be nominated.

I was going to limit it to long time posters who haven't "lost their smile" when it comes to wrestling, But I will bow to the majority--- no offense Peet. My vote would be for him to become a voter later down the line.
