Going a little deeper into my rough draft list for this one. No clue where either of these two end up or if they even make the list to be honest, but right now I have them back to back.
Last one for now.

I've honestly never really got Curt Hennig and that someome actually voted him #1 in GWE last time was the biggest whaaaa moment of the whole process. He basically has great matches with the of the best "elevators of lesser talent" ever in Bret Hart and Nickboc Winkel and that's about it for me.

Agreed with your assessment of Hennig. Add Buddy Rose to the Bret Hart and Nickboc list |

I came out of the AWA set in 2012 (holy shit how was that nearly 10 years ago?) liking Hennig more than ever before. Honestly, there were parts of his WWF run that I re-watched for a WWF/E match poll about 15 years ago where I thought he was basically a better Dolph Ziggler. That feels like a real low blow in hindsight because even going on his WWF stuff he's way better than Dolph Ziggler, but the AWA run is where most of his case for being great is. I think he was clearly pulling his weight in the Nickboc matches and the best Hansen match is suuuuper great. #1 overall is wild as hell, but I don't think he's crazy out of place somewhere on a list. Like, bottom half (though I don't think I voted for him last time and I'm guessing I won't next time).
That said Tully is legit top 30 to me at this point and I'd probably take him in every category.

Maybe I'll do a more detailed breakdown later, but I think I take Tully too. I think Hennig is still pretty good. He has some great big matches and at least one world class one (for me). He is a pretty consistent worker, who had quality runs in AWA and WWF. He bounced around like a pinball and made a lot of folks look really good. That said, I think Tully was probably just better at all the things I really care about. I'd guess a gap widens for them the more I think about it. Tully will likely be on the list. Hennig... maybe.
