Announced today that Syuri topped the PWI 150 Women list, dethroning last year's first rank Bianca Belair to take the top spot.
She is the first Joshi to ever be ranked first in the list.

Doesn't shock me, but I hope she isn't constantly scrolling twitter because she's been the target of an incredibly hateful and racist campaign against her by Bianca fans (as Bianca was #2).

Asuka was #1 in 2017.
But anyways this list is all kayfabe anyways so meh...although Thunder Rosa and Charlotte being in the top 10 somehow is kicking up alot of rocks especially as TR outranked Becky which alot of people are big time pissed over.
I could see why if this was a legit ranking but it is kayfabe so shit all f***ing wonky...STARDOM would dominate the top 10 if this was based on quality of matches and not just kayfabe accomplishments.

When did PWI increase the number of rankings to 150 women?

Stellar choice. I picked her as #1 last year, as all momentum was working with her.

Any good recommendations for matches I should check out? I've got a Stardom World subscription that I've yet to use and this is as good a motivator as any.

Well, I got introduced to her because Stardom went and posted this one against Utami Hayashishita up for free: A friend had really liked pictures of Hayashishita, so when I saw her wrestling someone else I'd heard hype about in a free video, I suggested watching it together. Hell of an introduction and as good a match as you'll see this year. EDIT: Oh, also: a video summarizing the build of this match: |

I don't really see any problem with her being 1 based off kayfabe and the criteria PWI does. I kinda preferred pre-Stardom goofy Syuri to what she does now but that has nothing to do with the ratings lol.
I don't really care about PWI but nice to see large joshi rep this year. Also glad they put Arisa Nakajima fairly up there.

I've already seen a good chunk of those Io matches (I became a fan of her and Mayu through their Stardom work) but nonetheless I do appreciate you giving me those 2022 match recs. |

I don’t think it’s fair to label them as Bianca Fans. Better to just call them dirtbag racists and call it a day. I know Bianca certainly wouldn’t call them fans, that’s for damn sure. f*** that noise. |

This is at best an intellectually dishonest, played out joke At worst, it's just demonstrating you don't know how Google works I know you are capable of better than this |

Some people really do not seem to know how to behave, or if they do know, they don't bother to do it. |

It seems like there isn't much thought put into this. I thought Mandy Rose would be higher then #21 considering she was NXT Champion the entire grading period and has gone through pretty much everyone on the show. I also feel like Raquel Rodriguez should be higher then #85 considering it's mainly a kayfabe list and she's won the majority of her matches and also had a tag title reign. Unless I missed her I didn't see Alba Fyre/Kay Lee Ray ranked at all which is asinine as she's a really good wrestler and has a good win-loss record.

Mandy wasn't higher up because during this period she was demoted from the main roster to NXT, which WWE is fully pushing as a developmental brand now. So that's gonna count against her. Also I doubt Bianca is number 1 because judging started right after she lost the title to Becky. And she had lost multiple title shots right after and then spent a lot of time either getting shut out of the title scene. |

Counting the days until we get a story about Jordynne Grace yelling she was ranked #6 in the PWI 150 while storming out of Impact Wrestling.
