The alphabetical listing pages had a typo issue, putting "0" on the end of any ranking number that should have ended in "1". Thus the numbering duplicates...at least people are about where they should be.

Mahabali Shera being at 190 is embarrassing to everyone else below him on the list. This guy is first day at wrestling school bad. I'm biased because I've somewhat seen this kid grow up into a worker, but George Gatton at 481 is well deserved. Quick hits- Naito is too low on the list at 12. Ryback is way too high at 30. Baron Corbin being above Austin Aries is ludicrous. And I don't know who Mr. Irrelevant is, but the name Timmy Lou Retton is awesome so I must know who he is. Oh and Roman Reigns sucks.

Originally posted by lotjxI know its suppose to be sorta Kayfab, but Reigns being number one is stupid. Finn or Joe would have been better choices.
How can you know it's kayfabe and think Joe or Finn should be higher than Reigns? Finn and Joe spent the year in the minor league of the company that Reigns won the Heavyweight title 3 times. Roman Reigns was the main event of 8 PPVs, including Wrestlemania, and Finn and Joe were in one PPV combined.
There does seem to be a real mix of the kayfabe rankings, as they should be from this magazine, and also some very random lower card/promotion wrestlers in high positions. Roman should probably be number 1 in the world of kayfabe, but in that case Finn should not be 3rd or even close. In kayfabe Corbin should be higher than people like Austin Aries, Cesaro, Wyatt and Ibushi, among many others, but that doesn't really make the list believable at all. Maybe it is real to everyone who buys PWI, but that is hard to believe so even they must be surprised by some of these.
Not a bad list, but I would argue that all three New Day members should be higher. Minus the brief 85th reunion of the Prime Time Players, they were dominant in the tag ranks.
At the same time, how does Bray Wyatt get near the top 50? Going by Cagematch, in 2015 (I realize the 500 might not go from Jan 1 to Dec 31), he won only 28 of 163 matches. Let's be real, guys.
No Way Jose comes in at the lowest of the WWE/NXT crop at 334, right? (Hugo Knox is down in the 400s but I don't think he has made NXT TV yet, while his lady Nia has sped far beyond him).

Timmy Lou Retton, he's from WV. His personal facebook was gushing for the 500 spot. Still as requested. Timmy Lou Retton.
09.30.08 1st time W of the day. Oh, the day I joined Twitter.
24.05.09 2nd time W of the day.
06.10.14 3rd time W of the day. It's an honor to be selected three times. Thank you.
It was a good solid show. Not sure if I would call it the best. I felt the crowd (or maybe it was the way they were mic'ed) was a bit flat at first. The pre-show battle royal worked well.
