I've got questions.

I think the time considered runs from June to June or something like that.

1. Wasn't Hangman off a big chunk of that time?

2. Trick Williams? Was he dominant on NXT then?

3. Oba is too low.

4. How did Moxley not make the top ten as I think he was belted up, competed in Japan and did a lot during the period?

I legit laughed out loud when the Bucks dropped the Dudley Boyz reference during last night's show. Wonder if that would actually get them to mention AEW on Busted Open at least for that?
The best part about it is that Bubba lacks the intelligence and linguistic ability to be able to say something vague enough to get the point across without being direct.

So it’s either bite his tongue and seethe over it privately or get baited into saying something that gets heat on himself.

It’s August 1 to July 31.

And yes Hangman was out for a while, but it’s a kayfabe ranking and he was the champ for nearly four months and a trios champ for 49 days.

His match quality was insane during the period too - 14 matches rated 4* or higher - and PPVs headlined by him did big numbers business wise.

Oba is overrated on this list based on what the guidelines are for ranking someone. You’re telling me an NXT title is worth more than nearly every other title in wrestling? That’s nonsense. Never main evented a main roster PLE. Only two main roster main events were two squashes on a random Raw. NXT didn’t draw even 2K for the four major NXT shows in the eval period even when they left the PC for three of them. At least one ended up having to move to a smaller venue because it wasn’t selling tickets despite him being in the main event for 3 of them.

Did he have a top 10 year though? Yeah probably, but the evaluation criteria doesn’t say top 10 to me given the people who ranked below him.

20 of TNA’s 47 wrestlers (according to TNA roster on Wikipedia) are people who were fired, cut, or not renewed by WWE lol

It’s unreal how over El Grande Americano is. I mean it was a joke and the usual suspects wanted to say how inappropriate it was but the Mexican people didn’t seem to care.
I’ve kinda noticed only the US and western countries in Europe get butthurt over things deemed “inappropriate.”

Bullcrap excuse and an obvious lie.

JBL said they didn't pull the commentators from the show until right around when All Out became a sellout.

Borden was injured tonight and the match stopped. Hope it's nothing serious.

That's going to get some traction and rightfully so. He's 34, incredibly green, and AEW is putting him in big matches on national tv and PPV when he's not ready. And whoever is producing his matches should've understood that. This is why you bought ROH. Use it as an OVW or NXT. He's not Sting. I hope Tony and AEW fans realize that. There's something there for sure but why he's starting this late and why he's been pushed into a national spotlight to do moves he's not ready for I don't get.

The actual move wasn’t that dangerous. It was more of a freak injury than anything. Two guys doing a coast to coast and meeting in the middle of the ring. I haven’t watched a replay but the impact and landing looked fine. It must have just jarred his head when he hit the mat.

A coast to coast isn't a beginners move and he's a beginner. You said the landing looked fine but he "just jarred his head" when he hit the mat. Then the landing wasn't fine. Your fingers shouldn't be curled up like a monkey's paw. A coast to coast took Rollins out and he's a veteran. WTF is Borden doing it? And what's so dumb about it is it was done to chop the opponent in the chest. So you saddle a green guy with an advanced move for the end result to be a simple chop. Brilliant stuff by the wrestlers and whoever produced it.

He's younger than when Diamond Dallas Page started wrestling.
