- The list is a reflection of who we feel are the 500 best wrestlers at the time the list is put out. Think of it as this - if we were going to put on a wrestling card on either Nov. 1 or May 1 - every single person on the list could work it. That is why we stick to the injury and other kayfabe policies mentioned later on.

- The list is reflective, but not limited too, a wrestlers previous six month body of work.

- Injuries are factored into the decision making process. Shitty booking is not. But, sooner or later, you do have to make with the matches to move up and stay on the list.

- We do not include wrestlers we have never seen work.

- We do not include wrestlers we have not seen work in the last 12 months. This window of opportunity varies based on the availability of tapes - meaning that the easier it is to get tapes the shorter the time frame. Basically that means, someone who was viewed last time period, has a one time period grace period before he has to be seen again to remain on the list.

- We didn't include wrestlers who are hurt and have missed an extended period of time. We do consider all injury cases on a case by case basis.

- We didn't include wrestlers who are working angles like retirement and suspensions or worked injuries and any other old-school kayfabe angles.

- The list is obviously the opinions of a few men with obvious (and some not-so obvious biases). It is done to generate wrestling discussion on the board. It is done because it gives us undo pleasure fighting amongst ourselves while the list is being cobbled together and then fighting with you all about whether AAA Psychosis is really better than Idol X.
