The full list isn't out, but it was revealed tonight at the SHIMMER tapings that Cheerleader Melissa topped the list this year. 20 of the 50 entrants are SHIMMER competitors.

I don't get it
The PWI 500 has a lot of kayfabe premise behind it, yet WWE divas never seem to top the list.
Granted AJ didn't wrestle from July to December and even then was sporadic until Mania but still.

Actually, a WWE diva has topped it twice, consecutive years as a matter of fact, Mickie James in 2009 & Michelle McCool in 2010. Them, TNA & Shimmer have each had 2 women top it, along with those 2 for WWE, TNA had Awesome Kong in 2008(1st year they started doing this) & Gail Kim last year and along with Melissa this year, Madison Eagles did it in 2011.

One issue with WWE divas is the competition is usually pretty lacking, despite the television exposure. I'd say Cheerleader Melissa is one of the top talents on the indies, male or female, up there with Cabana and Steen.

I'd love for her to get a shot at the big time, but I have to concede if she was going to it would have happened by now.

Good for Veda Scott.
And AJ being so low makes no sense.

And AJ being so low makes no sense. AJ didn't even make the top 50 last year despite her huge push. They still ended up awarding her Woman of the Year though. They're just very inconsistent with how they rank these lists. They've actually had to clarify why she's so low because so many people were asking them about it:

They've actually had to clarify why she's so low because so many people were asking them about it: Square that with Natalya's ranking vs. how she has been booked in the last year. (And I'm a big Natty fan.)

Most of her matches were in Mexico and Japan. They only rank those who had a lot of matches in North America... though I don't get why Eagles and Skater are ranked when they work as many NA matches as the Joshi do.

It's not about talent or 'who's better', it's based on kayfabe accomplishments & Velvet was the KO Champ for a number of months, with victories over former list toppers Gail Kim & Mickie James, plus Paige's NXT Divas Title win probably came towards the end of the grading period.

Out of that list of 50, there are 10 ladies on that list that I've legitimately never heard of. A great deal of which I've heard of, but would probably struggle to pick out of a lineup.
My indy women's wrestling game is lacking.

Just like every list PWI does, I read and shook my head. Random selection of women with them being ranked by kayfabe and personal reasons. Natalya barely did anything of note last and this year but ranked in the top 15. I get they don't be accused of only caring about WWE and TNA women or only caring about the workratez but they need to look at more than 5 promotions & rank them with more logically rhyme and reason. The top 10 makes sense in kayfabe reasons. But everything else is dart on a board random.

If this is based on kayfabe accomplishments, how is Kaitlyn above AJ? AJ's had a pretty dominant title reign, but when Kaitlyn was champion, she couldn't even manage to get on TV most of the time.
