PWI 500 2022 discussion thread

[Comrade Khan]

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)

yeah I think his biggest singles match win in Impact was Alex Shelley?

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!"

He's gonna bring up how he was rated higher than Moxley and Omega lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

sad part is, at this rate he wont be in the top 50 unless he starts wrestling again

 

[Comrade Khan]

Can't wait for the other lists and The Observer one to compare, always good fun.

THE PWI YEAR ENDS ON JUNE 30

there u go @Chris and everyone, that's the official cut off

 

[Comrade Khan]

so Summer of Mox was not considered, makes sense

 

[Chris]

speaking of other lists

 

[Comrade Khan]

so looking at stats, Punk was 20-1. thats why he is 3rd.

 

[Hoss]

I like that Lashley made the top 5. I'm continually in a sort of disbelief about how he finally came into his full potential in his mid 40s.

Title reigns are probably the biggest factor I've noticed, that would be why Gresham is 10 despite ROH barely existing during the time, they still rank it as a major world title I'd guess tho. After that I think w/l and strength of booking, opponents, etc.

I think he was even higher ranked last year but glad he maintained too

yeah, makes sense and would explain why Punk over Hangman. both champ, Punk beat Hangman and had a better record overall despite Hangman probbaly having wins over better opponents

 

[Chris]

Also does anyone know who got number 500 yet lmao

I'm not even 100% sure they factor in head to head meetings, if anything I could see that being an inconsistent criteria tbh that they kind of pick and choose when to look at lol or more like a tiebreaker maybeb
