lol at the top 9 names not being in TNA
woot for Kane and Regal and Henry making the list
and why is bubba always above devon :'(

^Yeah, I've always like D'von better.

^^Morrison should be higher than that and you all know it, plus Rey Rey didn't even make top half!

I think John Morrison should be higher. But I think it's becoming Clearly that people are tired of Rey in the same ole gimmick matches and same old storylines. I could careless about his mask cause he already been unmasked and remasked for profit now which is total BS and disrespect to Lucha Libre. I am tired of him fighting and being the little underdog who always beats the bigger guy who should crush him. The Fact that he is mexican and proud and will not let so and so insult the mexican culture and He will fight for dead friend.

John Morrison i think should be in the top 20
and the fact he is 15 spots lower the Shelton Benjamin is completely laughable

Benjamin did nothing in 2009, and Morrison was apart of Miz & Morrison and became an established singles star.

I do not agree with this list.

the list was probably created by a bunch of fucking marks

just realized something WHERE THE FUCK is matt morgan?

why THE FUCK is finlay on the list too?

I had a good chuckle with the number one choice

I never understand why they release these lists in the middle of the year? The year is far from over and more guys can be contenders for the top spot.

Where the hell is The Miz? Shocked he's not in the top 50

Number 8 is probably the only choice I support, CM Punk has been climbing up the ranks and position 8 is a great ranking for him.

I support Punk and Edge's rankings. MVP should be a lot higher and Swagger should be a bit lower.

Swagger has done more than MVP this year, he should be higher than him to be honest.
