Best list so far... Cant dissagree with anything...better categorys as well.
 
I think any champ that (always) plays his best will do in the long run. As in a computer opponent, right?

Our music is sampled, totally fake
It's done by machines 'coz they don't make mistakes.
We won't sell to a major for a couple of bucks
No doubt about it, KMFDM sucks.
 
If I could get a player that had
1) Ralf Souquet's winner-mentality
2) Keith McCready's wit and humor around the table
3) Efren's kick-shots abilities
4) shooting as straight as Ching Shun Yang
5) the break of Shane Van Boening
6) the heart of Alex Pagulayan
7) the sports-training attitude of Mika Immonen
8) the banking-skills of John Brumback
9) a stroke as smooth as Corey Deuel
10) the beauty of Jasmin Ouschan

we would have a winner for sure :)
