Question about PWI 500

Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever come across a composite ranking for the wrestlers in it over the years. Also PWI did a best 500 of the PWI years a few years ago. There would be a few changes to it since then with wrestlers added and some moving way up. Have they done another since then?

I'm pretty sure they do the PWI 500 every year. Found this on Google regarding the 2008 listing.

Randy Orton is #1 on this year's PWI 500. So says wwe.com.

 

This just proves how bad wrestling is these days, although Raw has become a great show the past few weeks... until Orton comes back.

When it comes to tag teams the PWI 500 is the laziest publication of all time.

 

Ok, say Jay Briscoe is x number best worker on the planet right now. Does that automaticaly mean his tag team partner is the very next on the list? Or two or three down?

On the flip side, let's say they are 25 apart. If they primarily wrestled tag matches, what did they do to separate themselves?

 

And the list is a Kayfabed list, NOT a workrate list.
