It isn't about wrestling ability. It's about who made the biggest impact.

Just be glad they didn't stick Flair as number one J-Dawg. You know how sappy people get towards Ric Flair.

There are numerous criteria that go into this award. It isn't based on wrestling ability. That is just a small piece.
They look at drawing power, pushes, storylines, wrestling ability, mic skills, overall impact, defining victories.
Orton is deserving of the top spot based on all the factors combined. The fact that he walked into Mania as the champ and retained as a heel makes him worthy of the top spot alone.
As far as Flair goes, he was as high as he was because he was involved in one of the bigger storylines of the year so far.
Personally, my top ten would have been;
1. Orton
2. Edge
3. Taker
4. HHH
5. Samoa Joe
6. HBK
7. Cena
8. Angle
9. McGuinness
10. Flair

I pretty much agreed whole heartedly with CM's list. Batista never really won any big matches. He lost all his World Title matches and just hasn't made as big an impact as the other 10 he posted.

I personally don't know how the Indy guys can get so high on the list when Indy isn't really main stream and has a limited amount of fans because they aren't on TV.

^ Watch some of the things the indy guys are capable of. On tv or not, it's simply a crime to not recognize some of those guys for the things they can do.

I agree with the top ten.. It is about who made the bigger impact, and RKO was on top the whole time. He had great feuds, and always came out ontop, and closed off his roll with an injury.. Which gives reason to add some sympathy.. I mean think what would be happening if he wasn't injured.. I say feuding with Punk for the belt.. Triple H.. I guess you can stick him up there.. I just think he was to high.. I mean things didn't start getting good 'til Backlash which is around the end of the list's span according to XBA. Joe shouldv'e been eight... He didn't win gold until April.. And the list began at Summerslam 07... Edge shouldv'e been at the third spot.. He "banished" 'Taker. Screwed 'Taker in a Hell In A Cell.. Returned, and won gold.. Lost gold for a month, or two then won it again.. Defeated star's like Rey, Batista, 'Taker, and uh.... Kane I think? Nigel on the top ten is awesome.. He shouldv'e been at least seven with his awesome reign..
