Kenny beat him twice within the window (three falls to one, if you prefer), so that's probably the difference. I also think people tend to value ascendance more than continuation--See: every sports MVP vote, basically--so Okada had to essentially compete with his previous year, as well as everyone else.

Dolfan in NYC Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'm much more surprised that there isn't a massive howl against #4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 It's probably because you only see number 4 once for every ten times you look at the list so some people might not even now who it is. I thought PWI just skipped over the number the first few times I looked but eventually it showed up but then it just disappeared again just goes 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 it's the strangest thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely in kayfabe, AJ has held the world title of the worlds biggest wrestling company for 9 of the 12 months in the voting period, including beating the Royal Rumble winner on more than one occasion. He also became a two time US champ in that time, so he's got as good an argument as anyone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdangerously Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I dispute the idea that the ROH title is prestigious enough to merit a top 10 ranking for Cody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know the rankings are pretty much bs bordering on sponsored content. Two years ago, they ranked Sexy Star as the 9th best women's wrestler. I can't wait to see Rousey in the top ten while Faby Apache is somewhere in the fifties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest: the people in Western Canada that have the ability to get me stuff like rankings in the PWI 500 or articles promoting my company on Slam! Canada, are people that I have cut out of my life for being scummy towards me and the wrestling business...so I'll gladly never get ranked and maintain a tiny shred of integrity...such as you can in professional wrestling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I am trying to think of the kayfabe reason that Ariya Daivari is three spots ahead of Buddy Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I know the #500 is a strange mix of kayfabe and reality, so I shouldn't pay it any mind, but PCO at #397 is a miscarriage of justice. Not to mention they can't even spell Oulette right. Why the hell is Zeus at #147? Is there a Zeus I'm not aware of that had a good year or is this Tiny "Zeus" Lister, Jr.? His last match was that clusterfuck cage match in 1996, where Ric Flair took the pinfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Aw, that's a little cold. To be fair All Japan is probably even lower on the radar than Big Japan for a lot of people these days. I read the Japan board religiously and I've still only seen one Zeus match (a tag with the Bodyguard against somebody, probably Ishikawa and a partner I think). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
