The Day of reckoning is here! The first ever WWN Top 76. The best of the best on the net. Wrestling writers from dozens of sites received votes, but these are who you the fans feel rule the Internet Wrestling Community.

For those of you who don’t know what this is, a writer named Flea (411 mania, 1ryderfakin) put out a list of the top 100 wrestling writers on the net. This list is widely circulated and is one of the few pieces of recognition writers receive. We put hundreds of hours a year into entertaining our readers and only a handful of us make a cent out of it. Recognition is like our bonus. Well Flea has quit writing, and now there is no list. I can’t let that happen.
Over the last few months I have been compiling a new list, slightly different from Flea’s list. I am calling this list the Wrestling Writers of the Net Top 76 or WWN Top 76. The number of writers comes from the number of years The American Wrestling Association has been in business (on 2/21/1928 Ed Strangler” Lewis won the first Heavyweight Title). But make no mistake; the main difference is you. You voted and helped shape this list. I am sure all of the writers thank you, I know I do.

So this is the list. Love it, Hate it, I Don't care. The fans voted. If you are on the list, than pop some bubbly. If you didn't make it, then tell me who you are because I will start working on the next list ASAP. Despite getting the most votes I didn't put myself on the list. The reason most people heard of this was because they saw my column, so it wouldn't be fair to include myself. Do I honestly think I am one of the top 76? Yeah I do, and the fans do, but I don't have the objectivity to rank myself fairly. Thanks for reading.
