I see people already mad about Moxley and I can agree he's a tad low but sadly he took like 4 months off during the PWI year for rehab

and their coverage usually ends in July so he they missed his 2nd reign. I get it.

Punk is high but im thinking they considering the comeback as a big moment, which is fine.

honestly dont really have any issues. Roman was a given.

Adam Cole at first I was like ??? but he won the Owen

 

[Chris]

Yeah I'd guess Moxley would have a much better chance ranked #1 if they did a regular calendar year but its whatever, 12 months is still 12 months and people are gonna be screwed either way for timing

hes a tricky one bc he wasn't really doing a lot until he went back to Japan mostly full time around WK I wanna say. Title wise, he had a NEVER reign last year and then the IWGP win in June this year tho, top 20 is kinda shocking. I'd put him over Drew at least without seeing the rest of the list cause in kayfabe Drew didn't do a lot (though I guess he won against Corbin a ton lmao)

he should be over adam cole too, he legit beat him ,okada and hangman

must be a cut off thing because that seems a very odd omission for the current top guy in NJPW who beat Okada 1 on 1 as well

I get Okada being 2 tho, but that would also mean they counted the g1 which then makes me wonder

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Maybe a quality of opponents thing?

 

[Alexa]

Two things. One, I agree with about a quarter of this list ordering, and second you think Jon will bring he is number 10 now

Okada won the G1 last year too, I don't think it means this year's was counted

His impact run, while great was mostly tag matches too. Never even challenged for the title or anything (not that he should have bc he shouldn't lose singles matches in Impact anyway lol)

 

[Alexa]

Yes lol

Jon going to buy a copy and throw it into TK's face and be like "I am number 10! Give me what I want!"
