So why are women on this but also have their own PWI 150 or w/e?
Women who do intergender wrestling are eligible if they had at least 10 matches against men. But only their matches against men are factored in.

That’s why WWE women never make the PWI 500.

This is a kayfabe list and in no planet are those two above Cody in a kayfabe and popularity power rankings
You basically saying Cody should top the list because WWE is more popular :mjtf:

If that was the case, why was Kenny Omega getting it before AEW even existed and most WWE fans had no idea who he was? :dwillhuh:

Cody is just as unknown outside wrestling fans as Swerve and Ospreay is and Swerve had a better world title run. And he had a better chase for the belt which is something else no one wants to admit :sas2:

No, i’m saying that this list is based on kayfabe power and importance. In the period reviewed cody dwarfs them.

This Cody run is boring narrative needs to die lol just because he’s been sideline with solo for a few months doesn’t take away from the great shyt we’ve gotten

Had bangers with AJ Styles and KO but somehow they don’t count lol

It honestly annoys me how tsc posters will make a general statement like that on damn near every aspect of wrestling just because they’re personally going through the motions for where they’re bored with something 2 weeks in a row.

It’s like how dudes were saying Gunther should have lost his title to Orton because his run is boring and it’s time for a new face to hold the title….. ignoring the fact that Orton was his first title defense :laff: Funny thing is dudes did it with Cody and AJ literally 3 weeks after Cody won the title. Talking about his reign is boring. nikka the shyt didn’t even start yet. Dudes be talking just to hear themselves talk on here

Swerve shoulda been #1
Ospreay shoulda been #2

Nobody wanna admit Cody reign boring as fukk and he def was not better in ring or mic than either of them :sas2:
I love OS but nah Cody the face of the largest wrestling company in the world & puts on great matches. Swerve consistently lost viewers but no one wants to talk about it :sas2:

Nah, Cody's been on all kinds of TV shows outside of wrasslin' & does outside promotion stuff constantly.

I will say Swerve does some HIp-Hop stuff with like Westside & Bun, but that's still relatively limited.

Like Cody possibly not winning the chip literally crashed Twitter like 6 mos ago & had folks ready to go after Dwayne with pitchforks & torches.

How quick y'all forget :heh:

Quick observations
  • I'm a Seth Rollins guy & even I admit there's no reason for him to be this high on the list when he's been injured as much as he has
  • MJF's been injured too much to be this high, too
  • Jon Moxley took a long time off, too. too high
  • Gunther should be #1 or 2
  • Trick Williams should be higher. NXT basically became his show in this last year.
  • "Main Event" Jey & Logan Paul should be higher

People's attention spans are fried and they have zero patience.

But Solo sucks so I'll give them that much lol.

A good bit of Moxley's time off from AEW was spent being an IWGP champ though. He only missed one month during the eval period that ended this past July, so him being inactive in August isn't a factor until the 2025 PWI. Every other month he had at least two matches and most months he had 5+. Also had a few notable wins outside of his IWGP title reign as well, and he defeated #5 Naito to win the IWGP title.

Alas, I still think he is too high, but his time off really isn't that much.

These dudes attention spans and patience are FRIED


They’ll watch a wrestler become champion or a storyline doing something really cool af, praise it as the best thing ever then act like someone or something is stale three weeks later


And this isn’t just for wwe eitther


Dudes will watch RAW, NXT, Dynamtie, Smackdown, a AEW ppv and do the same thing the next week with the same lineup besides the AEW ppv being replaced with a WWE PLE

Whatever happened two weeks ago dudes will act like it happened 8 months ago and it’s time for a change lol



And yeah solo boring. He was thrown straight into the deep end like no other though. I wouldn’t be surprised by all this experience shaping him to become something great down the line
