i'm beginning to think even PWI themselves believe its a joke at this point. here's the cover for the PWI 500 issue: could they have found a stupider looking picture of Cena?

Shouldn't they wait until the year is over before compiling the list. It's based on the fiscal year. So July through June.

If the Rock was anywhere on that, I would have eaten my head.

I love the PWI 500, but I honestly don't care about the top 25 or so. It's all those WTF indie guys that crack me up, all the way back to Chicken Neck.

There...there's actually a wrestler named Victor Creed...
What the hell is a Soul Rocker?
Isn't this, like, the 3rd or 4th Ricky Romero?
Holy crap, Cloudy is listed! That can't be the same Cloudy, can it?
Player Uno? Napalm Bomb? The Bodysnatcher? BLK Jeez?
Breaker Morant. Nice.
Crazzy Steve. With two z's. That's crazy.
Not Sean Allen, Thee Sean Allen.
PN News sighting, at #300 as Cannonball Grizly.

2011: 189 Jimmy Uso 192 Jey Uso
2012: 91 Jey Uso 92 Jimmy Uso
2013: 107 Jimmy Uso 110 Jey Uso
Every year, this remains the most fascinating and baffling part of the PWI 500. Which Uso is doing better? And what's with the two spot gap sometimes? How the hell do you rate any couple of guys as superior to Jey Uso but inferior to Jimmy?

The weirdest to me was around 2006ish some bad body indy guy, whose name I forget, being #490-something with an accompanying picture that looked exactly like me. The guy had my face and haircut. I mean so much to the point that when I showed it to friends of mine they thought I was being serious when I jokingly said it was me, and asked how long I'd been wrestling. Very bizarre place to see your doppelganger, but at least my long lost twin made the PWI 500.

It's 1, 2 and then complete randomness.

Interesting fact. Dolph Ziggler was #500 in the 2005 PWI 500 (under his real name Nick Nemeth). He's probably the only guy who went from being #500 to being a world champion.

at least its better then when they first started doing this and some guys would be ranked multiple times under different gimmicks and what not. i know about 10 years ago for indies it was pay to play, meaning indy promotions had to pay pwi to cover you and the promotions that paid where the ones who's guys got better rankings or rankings period. have no idea if its still like that now though.I remember one year in particular that CZW didnt pay and they got zero coverage and all of there guys totally fell out of the pwi 500 for a year.

Kofi and Barrett are up there because between last July and this June, Kofi was US/IC Champion, while Barrett was a 2 time IC Champion. Sheamus had also been World Champion for a few months, which is why he's high.

Hey, Jey totally outshined Jimmy this year. He just had that extra "oomph" to his chants, you know?
