So the top ten has been released. The criteria they use when voting is as follows: The evaluation period for this year's PWI 500 is July 1, 2020 - June 30, 2021. The criteria for ranking includes win-loss record, technical ability, influence on the sport, success against the highest grade of competition, success against the most diverse competition, and activity.
1. Kenny Omega
2. Roman Reigns
3. Bobby Lashley
4. Drew McIntyre
5. Kota Ibushi
6. Jon Moxley
7. Will Ospreay
8. Finn Balor
9. Shingo Takagi
10. Rich Swann

Could have coin flipped between Kenny and Roman, but I guess multiple promotions gives Omega the edge.

It's nice to see Lashley and McIntyre get recognized. They had big, big years.

It’s kayfabe accomplishments so I would imagine the guy whose been world champion in three companies, and the guy who has been Universal champion for over a year would be easy picks for the top 2.

Only thing I’d change is moving Mox up to right above Lashley.

That’s overall a pretty fair list to be honest. You could argue placements a bit, but those are likely about the top 10 guys of the time period.

Moxley over Miro feels a bit weird to me, one of them's had a lot more successful a year than the other.

He still had very few losses for a crazy amount of matches. I wouldnt be surprises if next year Miro makea top 10 |

Moxley spent half the eligibility period with two promotions' belts, one of them being a world title, and then lost the IWGP Us title all of like a week before the end of the period. Miro's got all of two and a half months of title run to his name within the period. |

I feel like Nick Aldis should have been in the Top 10. He'd been representing NWA pretty well, in my opinion albeit with less media attention.

He'd been representing NWA pretty well, in my opinion albeit with less media attention. i think he was so low for the same reason Rush was left off, which is number of matches. to be listed you have to have a minimum of ten matches within the time period, which is exactly how many he had, three of which were short tv matches (one was only 30 seconds) |

The evaluation period was between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021. NWA was inactive for most of that timeframe due to internal structuring problems and the pandemic. Aldis didn't exactly work other promotions during the hiatus, either. |

My sources told me that Ultimo Gallos was #502 on the list. I guess next time I will include a 100 dollar bill when I send in my info.
Pretty much every year for the past 5 as a joke I've sent in pics of me in wrestling gear,last 2 are with me holding the Hoodmark title. Just to see if they really look into the people that send info in for the 500.
