I love the indy dudes who are all "YES! NUMBER 382 IN THIS YEARS PWI 500! DREAMS DO COME TRUE" Makes me lol. I don't know which indie dudes you follow, but I have a few friends on the list, and they either don't mention it at all or treat it like what it is, a f***ing joke. I don't follow anyone big which is probably the problem. Most of the people I follow quite literally are around the 250-500 mark so they're in that awkward "hobby wrestler" phase. I wouldn't mention it unless I was top 100 to be honest. |

I remember at least a decade ago (prob'ly further back), someone decided to turn their PWI ranking into their gimmick and became Mr. 500. Always amused me to see that mentioned afterward. |

I wouldn't mention it unless I was top 100 to be honest. This assessment is a little off. There are a lot more than 500 wrestlers they could've considered for ranking considering it includes Japan and in the last couple years women too. I know there are wrestlers who make their living wrestling that aren't in the 500. Anybody who treats it like a hobby probably isn't gonna make the cut at all, not even at #500. As someone else pointed out, Dolph Ziggler was #500 a few years ago and now look where he is. The 500 is not perfect science, there is always some silliness with the rankings (the thing somebody said about the Usos was funny as hell), and as I mentioned before I think there are some geographical biases, but while I don't wanna turn around and oversell it either it's a bit more meaningful than this discussion has been making it sound. |

Also, if you want another reason why this list is bullshit, here ya go.
Both Young Bucks are not on the list.
