Yes it's another list, and it's one of the better ones, but my main issue with it is that PowerSlam Magazine usually NEVER writes about half of the guys in it, it's usually strictly a WWE and TNA magazine.
1: Hiroshi Tanahashi (NJPW) 2: Austin Aries (TNA) 3: CM Punk (WWE) 4: Kazuchika Okada (NJPW) 5: Prince Devitt (NJPW) 6: Daniel Bryan (WWE) 7: CIMA (Dragon Gate) 8: Tetsuya Naito (NJPW) 9: Kevin Steen (ROH) 10: AJ Styles (TNA) 11: Shingo Takagi (Dragon Gate) 12: Low Ki (NJPW) 13: Akira Tozawa (Dragon Gate) 14: Kurt Angle (TNA) 15: Davey Richards (ROH) 16: Christopher Daniels (TNA) 17: Shinsuke Nakamura (NJPW) 18: Jun Akiyama (NOAH) 19: Bobby Roode (TNA) 20: Hirooki Goto (NJPW) 21: El Generico (Freelance) 22: Dolph Ziggler (WWE) 23: Sheamus (WWE) 24: Adrian Neville/PAC (Dragon Gate/WWE) 25: Kenny Omega (DDT) 26: YAMATO (Dragon Gate) 27: Randy Orton (WWE) 28: Samoa Joe (TNA) 29: Ryusuke Taguchi (NJPW) 30: Kota Ibushi (DDT) 31: Suwama (AJPW) 32: Jeff Hardy (TNA) 33: Naomichi Marufuji (NOAH) 34: Karl Anderson (NJPW) 35: Masaaki Mochizuki (Dragon Gate) 36: Ricochet (Dragon Gate) 37: Alberto Del Rio (WWE) 38: Kazarian (TNA) 39: Michael Elgin (ROH) 40: Matt Jackson (Freelance) 41: Eddie Edwards (ROH) 42: KENTA (NOAH) 43: Nick Jackson (Freelance) 44: Minoru Suzuki (Pancrase MISSION) 45: James Storm (TNA) 46: Rockstar Spud (Freelance) 47: Noam Dar (Freelance) 48: Bully Ray (TNA) 49: El Ligero (Freelance) 50: Kofi Kingston (WWE)

Obviously a smark list, though, as Cena's nowhere to be found.

Cena never makes it high in the Powerslam 50 does he?

So basically the average Japanese wrestler is way better than most of the top U.S. wrestlers and the worst Japanese wrestler is better than the best Mexican wrestler.

Cena belongs on the list. He had great matches with Punk, Lesnar and Rock. Especially if Kurt Angle is ranked 14.

What the f*** is this list even ranking? Honestly, it looks like someone just picked some guys from WWE, some guys from TNA, a couple of guys from the indies, some international stars and slapped them together with no rhyme or reason in the hopes of forming something resembling a credible list.

It's a British wrestling magazine, the 50 is supposed to be the best workers of the year.
I stopped reading it a couple of years ago, it was getting too smarky, and it felt like the writers had become bitter about the business, especially WWE.

I stopped reading it a couple of years ago, it was getting too smarky, and it felt like the writers had become bitter about the business, especially WWE. Pretty much. My jump-off point came around the time Fin Martin's stuff became pretty much indistinguishable from what you're inclined to find on the darkest corners of a Youtube comment form, except it's proofread. This isn't aided by the fact some of its writers may be in want of a dictionary. 'Irregardless' is never acceptable. If I'm actually paying for content, it better be spell/logic-checked.

No John Cena = no credibility Some how to them it makes their list legit. Which is stupid because whether you like or hate Cena, you cannot deny that he brings it in big matches.

Last time Cena made the list was 07 I can see him not making it in '08, maybe even '09. But 2010 and 2011 he definitely belonged.

I know I'm not the biggest fan of Cena but he should at least break the top 50.

I don't know what's more predictable: John Cena not being on the list, or the whining, crying, bitching and moaning about John Cena not being on the list

I get that people don't like Cena but excluding from their selection is like when the PWI 500 insert a random Japanese wrestler in the top ten irregardless of what they did that year; a head scratcher. It just comes off like they are those Youtube smarks who always trash Cena on any wrestling video.
