Sabin is the only one in the Top 10 I'm not sure about. I'd put CIMA in there. Love how they credit #10 as Seth Rollins, when most of his qualfying stuff came under the Tyler Black gimmick.

I'd have put Sabin and Shelley highly. Aside from Angle' they've been carrying the in-ring work in TNA this year.

Where is Eddie Edwards on this list? #43 - he deserves higher. Voted for him as my most improved wrestler of the year. |

After looking at this list, it makes me excited. All I need to do is join a gymnastics club, and then after some training, bam, I too could get on this list.
Jeremy Buck is above Edge, man. Once I master my flips, it's straight to the top for me.

Out of the top 10 I have seen one match from this year (Angle/Styles at Jan 4th).
Awesome!

As usual, a wee bit too many spot-fest guys and #4 is a little bit too generous for Devitt, as good as he is, but I still respect the PS 50 more than the PWI 500.

Randy "Headlock" Orton at #19 stands out a lot to me.

If it was a work rate list only,then Rey and Orton shouldnt be on there at all.Bryan and Punk should be higher,Jericho to but on the whole an excellent list.

I haven't bought that magazine in a while, just read bits in shop. It seems to be taking on a Michael Cole gimmick over the last year or so. Just very negative, very smarky. I remember when they gave Bloodstained Memoirs one star, yet give some indy jobber DVD the five star classic treatment. I wonder how many SAT VHS's the magazine team currently read? All very short sighted. I mean I can only count 8 current WWE wrestlers in that list, its ridiculous. You know if somebody had a gun to the writers heads and said its only WWE or the indies you can watch for the rest of your lives - pick - they would be all over the mainstream product so why do they try and hid their love? To seem above the fans?

They're complete marks for Japanese wrestling, it's getting daft.

They're complete marks for Japanese wrestling, it's getting daft. Less than half of the 50 wrestle regularly in Japan. I would say it's simply less North America centric. Yeah, 6 of the top 10 are Japanese or work in Japan, but big whoop. I still find it preferable to PWI's tokenism when it comes to anyone outside North America. |
