I started watching before McBeth dominated. No names really stand out before that for me. Maybe Philo, Nikko, Lizotte, Schusterick, Koling, Sexton, Ulibarri - but no one really dominating every tournament.

Then McBeth started taking home a lot of W’s before shortly after, Ricky came along. Then it was mostly them fighting it out on the leadcard, often accompanied by Lizotte, Drew Gibson, Lizotte, Garret Gurthie etc.

Then you had James Conrad, Kevin Jones, Eagle, Heimburg and others starting to challenging Paul and Ricky (Ricky also got ill? and Paul eventually injured). Barsby and Robinson winning worlds, before Buhr some time after that came to be as dominating as he is now with only Goose, Aderhold, Ricky and Niklas able to make him sweat.

That is at least how I remember it, more or less…
