Actually, Joe's been getting a pretty decent push in the last six months. He's going to be in the world title mix by virtue of finishing near the top of the BFG series and there's a very good chance that he could end up being the mastermind behind one of the hottest angles in wrestling.
A year ago, I'd have agreed, but it looks like Joe's going to do alright and I'd expect him to finish much higher next year.
aside from the 500 being both Kayfabe (and therefore not entirely accurate when it comes to wrestling ability & entertainment value) & highly worked (it's reported that several people have "bought" themselves spots) I gotta say SDR making the list is excellent (she should be ranked MUCH higher though). Also nice to see several California guys on there. Some of them are friends of mine and all def deserve the recognition. Kind of surprised to see Larry Dallas make it as he's a manager but the biggest WTF really is the Big O! dude just started training and I think has had like 3 matches at NYWC, SMH ;D
Tanahashi is officially #11 now. Tenzan drops to #82. Silver King was dropped from the list since he's the same wrestler as Silver Kain, so everyone from 82 to 282 falls a spot.

Thanks for that - I've updated post #1 to reflect these changes.
The New Day survives two three way matches including one with golden boys Roman and Rollins. The Owens/Jericho bromance seems to be over. Steph had to be involved in all if this, because Steph. Foley put over Sami in a series of promos that were amazing....
