Stopped reading here. This is why I don't respect the PWI 500. You have people that nobody has heard of listed there.
>>
>>18887181
Wtf has Gunther done to be #3? I mean at least he's above Hangma'am but he hasn't done much
>>
>>18887195
nah that's a soon to be megastar after the Street Fighter movie
>>
>>18887181
Is this an AI list? In what world is Cody Rhodes who hasn't had a single memorable moment in the past year over Hangman. Gunther and Moxley have been trash too
>>
>>18887181
lmao Jon Moxlley, Hang Man. Gooto

Based Street Fighters Cody Rhodes and Hirooki Goto. The rest are trash
>>
>>18887279
It's for August 1, 2024 - July 31, 2025. Gunther had a top title for months and agood win loss record.
>>
>>18887302
PWI is a kayfabe list.

It ranks anyone that holds a belt in high regard regardless of match quality, memorable feuds, or captivating promos. Literally just hold a top belt for WWE, AEW, CMLL, & NJPW, and you're guaranteed to rank... unless it was a joke reign.

Standards and star power have both dropped so much.
>>
>>18887181
I've never even heard of half those people
>>
>>18887195
It's true, he won the belt and it's a big deal, but they have worse attendances than Stardom, so it doesn't matter, may as well be Matt Cardona or a TNA guy

>Adam @Bluesky Page
kwab

>>18887181
Why didn't this asshole tag Adam Pages account?
>>
>>18887181
Swerve???
>>
>>18887469
Adam Page left X a couple of years ago. He stated that Musk was a Nazi, and X was a Nazi platform. He's on Bluesky @hangmanpage.bsky.social
>>
>>18887195
Die

>>18887181
Fucking Jay Uso near top 10 is enough to dismiss any list.

Get the fuck outta here.
>>
>>18887479
Why's there so many pictures of flowers on his feed?

>>18887318
You just gotta love Codesman
>>

>Mox
>his title reign was so bad that even AEWtists were begging for it to end
>he's #2 somehow
lmao
>Shitspreay at #10
That's far higher than he deserves but I'm glad he's in last place just because it's going to make Dave and his cultists seethe.

>PWI is a kayfabe list.
So is cagematch
>>
>>18887181
Based. They've finally stopped huffing the Fed glue
>>
>6. Jey Uso
>10. Will Ospreay
Oh the AEW Stinkos ain't gonna like this one
>>
Mistico is number one and having Goto over him is insane
>>
this list is purely kayfabe right? jey uso is unironically too low then
>>
>>18887181
>Seth
And this list has revealed itself for having no credibility.
>>
>>18887181
at least ospreay was #1 at sawdusting his own neck in his 30s
>>
>>18887541
They do be smelly
>>
>Drawing power
>Kayfabe power
>Match Quality
>The face of the hottest promotion

Mistico is so far above anybody else, that this reeks racism
>>
>>18887891
i just have to assume they aren't very familiar with cmll. mistico should absolutely be top 3 with cody and probably mox
>>
>>18887896
they should just make a WWE and AEW list and stop pretending
>>
>>18887891
Who is that thobeit
>>
>>18887181
Hasn't Will had a historical year for 5 star matches
>>
>>18887181
Cody hasn't had a single good match all year
>>
>>18887891
ni a nosotros nos importa el pisstico jaja
>>
>>18887485
He won the Royal Rumble and made Gunther tap out to win the World Title at Wrestlemania
>>
>>18887920
Study cagematch and get back to us
>>
>>18887896
>Sin Cara should be top 3
lolno. He's lucky to even be on the list.
>>
>>18887181
lol where is Dom?
>>
>>18887891
unironically this, I'd def put him over Cody for starters
>>
>>18887920
But Cody has had match this year, not a single normie mark even knows that Mistico exists or seen his matches.
>>
>>18887181
Now we know why that one PWI employee had to put out that statement asking AEW fans not to crash out and send death threats to anyone at PWI
>>
>>18887181
I mean folks... YOU JUST MOTHERFUCKING GOTTA! LET'S GO CODEMEN! HE THE GOAT!
>>
>>18887181
>Moxley #2
Lol, lmao even

>>18887181
Uso better than 3 flip goats wtf lmaoooo
>>
>>18887938
that's just booking non-sense
>>
>>18887489
He likes flowers. I think all wrestlers would be better off if they just tweeted random shit like that
>>
>>18887302
What the fuck has hangmaam done?
>>
>>18887195
DUDE, THE LIST ISNT ABOUT WRESTLING TALENT, ITS A KAYFABE LIST DUDE

Mistiwho?

>>18888301
That's what PWI ranks these on though
>>
>>18887445
LOL fucking faggot
>>
>>18887181
This is mostly fair though the AEW inclusions feel very token, as expected of an insignificant minor league stinky fed.
Hangma'am, Swerve and Ospreay haven't done anything of note, drawn any money or increased any metrics. They should be replace by CM Punk, Oba Femi and perhaps a second inclusion for Cody for being a megadraw.
>>
>>18887181
>Only one Jap
How far this industry has fallen...
>>
who the fuck is hirooki goto
>>
>>18887181
Who in the blue hell is Hirooki Goto and why do they always have to include some gook no one cares about?
>>
>>18887181
>1. Cody
Obviously, biggest current draw by far.
>2. Moxley
I guess since this is kayfabe and he was champ for half the year
>3. Gunther
Midcard "world" champion, dimeless
>4. Hangma'am
lmfao
>5. Goto
I love him but lmfao, he had a transitional reign for a quick pop off and back onto ZSGay
>5. Jey
Absolute shitter but hard to argue he's a draw and had a big kayfabe year
>7. Swerve
Shitter, dimeless, done nothing
>8. Seth
Shitter, dimeless, only became champ recently, spent the rest of the time jobbing and being a weak link
>9. Mistico
Should be 2 honestly
>10 Ospreay
Shitter, dimeless, done nothing.
>>
>>18887181
>goto
>mistico
Literally fucking whos?
>>
>>18889619
They have to add literal who geeks or else their fanbase would nuke them for being xenophobic kkk nazis
>>
>>18887181
>No Punk
It's based
>>
>>18887514
Cagematch is just a collection of fans rating based on whatever criteria they find important. Some rate by kayfabe, some only care about flips, some only rate 80's and 90's matches, etc. It's completely arbitrary...

...which is why it's always so funny to see AEW and WWE fans argue about it. Starting endless arguments over the wrestling equivalent to IMDB ratings.
