2023 Pro Wrestling Thread

How about Mox with long, flowing PINK hair.

 

I know this is a worldwide list, and not just WWE/AEW, but who the hell is Josh Alexander (No. 9)?
And Masha Slamovich (No. 15), for that matter? That sounds like a name a 9-year-old came up with on the WWE 2K23 create-a-wrestler.

 

Soda Popinski’s niece.

 

And no CM Punk or the Bucks at all?
Whatever Punk's current status, he did put in some work this year. And the Bucks haven't exactly been MIA.

 

Alexander was the longest reigning Impact champ ever (335 days), and Masha is an Impact women's champ and even beat Nick Gage for the GCW championship.

Punk was gone for 9 months of the July-July period, so that probably explains that. Can't explain the Bucks, but their suspension for the brawl probably didn't help (and part of the reason Kenny is down at 25). Dax Harwood is in the 180s and Cash Wheeler unranked, but they had a break, too, with their little sabbatical amid all the questions with their contract status, plus that stretch when they lost each of their belts one by one.

It is strange, though, that no WWE or AEW women are on the list, but there a lot of indie names like Billie Starkz or Kenzie Paige. If this list is based on W/L and impact on a company, one would think Bianca Belair would be a given for the top 500.

 

He was the TNA (Impact!) champion for almost a year.

 

Is there a separate list for tag teams? I don’t see the Usos on there either.

 

Ah, OK. That explains it.

 

Meanwhile, it appears the All In attendance figure was inflated by 9,000 people or so. Still an impressive crowd at around 72,000, but not the biggest ever.
Will Ospreay wishes someone would've told him that two weeks ago.

 

I seem to recall seeing another Moxley WWE squash match where his long hair was actually pink. So weird when you think of him today. (EDIT, I just saw the other post with the match).

I remember laughing my ass off a few times when someone like Foley would grab a microphone and hold it near the opponent’s chest as Show would chop him.

 

Just started Netflix's "Wrestlers" series on Al Snow's OVW. It's an interesting look at at them trying to barely scrape by with a definitely ragtag bunch of wrestlers. A few with some Impact/TNA experience, some scattered work on the AEW YouTube shows.

Had no idea OVW is the only live wrestling show in the U.S. other than the big two.

 

Saw someone ask “does anyone actually care about this?”

Uhhh they sold T-shirts with the fake number so. Yeah anybody that bought it may care
