I just want to say before we get to the next portion of the list that you might disagree with some of these rankings and where they're placed in relation to one another. I understand, but you must acknowledge that The Chris 100 was a scientific process and that all of these results are objectively correct. 30. “The Murder Grandpa” Minoru Suzuki (7 ballots, 271 points, average rank 17.57143) High Vote: Son of Mecha Mummy (1)   Recommended Matches: vs. Jon Moxley (NJPW, 2/9) vs. Yuji Nagata (NJPW, 6/17) vs. Tomohiro Ishii (NJPW, 9/19) vs. Kota Ibushi (NJPW, 10/10) vs. Shingo Takagi (NJPW, 11/7) 29.

  we're so close aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh 40. Ricky Marvin (7 ballots, 221 points, average rank 21.14286) High Vote: Jon (3) Recommended Matches:   w/ Mr. Aguila vs. Ciber Punk & Mordok (Mama Luchas, 2/15) vs. Perro de Guerra (Lucha Memes, 3/8) vs. Arez (Lucha Memes, 4/5) w/ Ludark Shaitan vs. Baby Judas & Judas el Traidor (AMLL, 10/17) vs. Mr. Electro (Lucha Memes, 11/29) "God, the fact that Ricky Marvin is still this good 25 years into his career is nothing but awe-inspiring. He's still one of the best technicians in the world, he still bleeds buckets when he wants to, he still makes every single person that steps into the ring with him look like a million bucks. Marvin is nothing short of legendary, a dream opponent for just about every technician, every junior heavyweight, every luchador. 2020 was just another year of Ricky Marvin mastery, and even at 41 he's showing no signs of slowing down." ~Chris Gibbons 39. Yuka Sakazaki (7 ballots, 223 poi

  50 down, let's get to the best of the best. We are truly now in the #ForearmSmash50 portion of the list 50. “The Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns (6 ballots, 180 points, average rank 22.33333) High Vote: Logan Kenny (5)   Recommended Matches: vs. Jey Uso (WWE, 9/27) vs. Jey Uso (WWE, 10/25) vs. Drew McIntyre (WWE, 11/22) vs. Kevin Owens (WWE, 12/20) vs. Kevin Owens (WWE, 12/22) "The long-awaited Roman Reigns heel turn finally happened in 2020, in front of zero fans, right after he took months off because he didn't want to risk COVID-19 after his last battle with cancer. It was a big risk to make that move at that particular time, but it's seemed to work well. Since Roman finally returned, his heel run has made him fresh. His walk-and-talk-and-brawl matches are definitely divisive matches, but those who tune into wrestling for the ridiculous melodrama can't get much better than the Head of the Table. Acknowledge him, uce." ~Chris Gibbons 49. Matt Jackson (7 ballots
