Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Top 500 issue is out and there are a few surprises to say the least. You don't have to look very far in to find the first non-WWE talent as All-Japan's Triple crown winner Satoshi Kojima enters at #3 and the first TNA wrestler is AJ Styles at #7 while IWGP Heavyweight Champ Hiroyoshi Tenzan rounds out the top ten at #10. The first Luchadore comes in at #12 (Ultimo Guerrero).
The top 25 are as follows:
1. Batista (WWE)
2. John Cena (WWE)
3. Satoshi Kojima (All Japan)
4. Triple H (WWE)
5. JBL (WWE)
6. Kurt Angle (WWE)
7. AJ Styles (TNA)
8. Edge (WWE)
9. Shelton Benjamin (WWE)
10. Hiroyoshi Tenzan (New Japan)
11. Jeff Jarrett (TNA)
12. Ultimo Guerrero (CMLL)
13. Chris Benoit (WWE)
14. Rey Mysterio, Jr. (WWE)
15. Eddie Guerrero (WWE)
16. Kenta Kobashi (NOAH)
17. Christopher Daniels (TNA)
18. Mistico (CMLL)
19. Kane (WWE)
20. Booker T. (WWE)
21. Tiger Mask IV (New Japan)
22. Samoa Joe (TNA)
23. Petey Williams (TNA)
24. El Hijo Del Santo (AAA, CMLL)
25. Chris Jericho (WWE)
What do you think?

This list is such bullshit. PWI used to cater to WCW and now they cater to the WWE. You can't even begin to tell me that Batista is #1 and John Cena is #2. They don't even belong in the top 10. HHH does belong there. He knows how to wrestle all styles. JBL is laughable in the slot he is in ahead of Kurt Angle. AJ Styles should be higher and so should Shelton Benjamin. Samoa Joe should be higher. This is not the Top 10 in terms of status. This is the top ten in terms of wrestling ability, charisma, interviews and everything with an emphasis on wrestling ability. John Cena and Batista have none. I don't think Hulk Hogan would ever be put on the top of this list and neither should these two men.

El Hijo Del Santo (AAA, CMLL) 25. Chris Jericho (WWE) What do you think? Total and utter BULL SHIT! Admittedly I am not as familiar with some of the indi wrestlers. This is nothing but a popularity contest.Batista #1? Uh NO! Granted Cena and Batista are entertaining....but #1 and 2? JBL as #5...maybe 105. Maybe!Jeff Jarrett #12. **cough cough****Edge, whho they can't figure how to give his title shot too? Did we all forget "money in the bank" stipulation?Surprised Benoit is so high. Not that he doesn't deserve it. He can wrestle the socks off anyone. Booker T has been on the downward spiral since coming to WWE. Kane??Friggin Kane? Put the mask back on him and make him interesting again. |
