Honorable mentions: Prince of Phenomenal (a major face of an era for EAW, won a PFP headline)
TLA (fastest rising EAW Elitist in recent memory, forming an all-around career, could potentially become one of the faces of EAW and have one of the more well rounded careers)
Kawajai (another major face of an era for EAW, longest reigning EAW Champion, winner of a PFP main event and the quintessential rags to riches story in EAW)
Matt Ryder (extremely well rounded career, very positive influence to EAW, Hall of Fame potential and longevity factors in)
Carlos Rosso (Major player in EAW, highly skilled as a promoer, very influential as a fedder, great longevity, mostly held back due to lack of main event world title run)
Diamond Cage (same reasons listed for Carlos)
Notes: For the names on the list, it should be made clear the alts are also factored in. I.E. Eris LeCava factors into Kendra Shamez's placement on the list
It was a dead heat tie between the top 3 in terms of promo quality, so accolades between the date of the last list (July 201) to now was the sole factor in deciding the placement.
It should be made clear, anyone on this list can out do anyone in promos. Number 26 can out promo number 8, hypothetically, promos are only one of many factors that go into this, so do not feel slighted if you are put below somebody you feel you are more skilled than. Sometimes, however, promoing ability can compensate heavily too for what they lack in other areas if they are skilled strong enough.
This list was judged combining consistency, promoing ability, Championships won, success in competitions (GR, KOE, CITV), FPV record, general wins to loss ratio though not anal about it, extra curricular awards (EAW Awardz) and legacy in terms of impact made on EAW history in character and influence out of character to decide this list.
Hall of Fame status and recent success in Pain for Pride also was a bonus. Also, certain achievements are recognized that don't necessarily have a stat-sheet, but are important. For instance, Jacob Senn winning three major Pain for Pride matches in a row against EAW Hall of Famers.
