Maybe they're the majority.

But I do think that people who search like me probably exist in non-negligible numbers which would definitely skew the sample which is all I was getting at. Less "these numbers are completely off" and more "these numbers favor certain guys a bit more than they should"

This wave of complaining at least FEELS like a work to me. Maybe Im wrong and people are really bitter?


I wouldn't blame them for being bitter. They go out and bust their asses, actually make history, and everybody is just talking about someone that hasn't wrestled a match yet, and will likely take the spots of more deserving people without doing anything to earn it yet. Rousey could be amazing in the ring, but we haven't seen that yet. At very least, we know she can't act.

That being said, I think this is a work as well.

Not saying they don't exist, but I'd say it's negligible enough to not change anything other than maybe from "Cena's waaaaay out in front" to "Cena's waaaay out in front." I mean, last I checked, people like Savage aren't wearing new merch lately to make people go "Hey, I want that particular shirt," yet he placed rather high.

Well if Macho Man was constantly debuting new shirts every week through some form of dark necromancy he'd probably be a good amount higher is what I'm saying. Like obviously this matters otherwise superstars wouldn't constantly be wearing their new shirts.

Well, let's assume you're right, then.

Styles currently has almost double the items Reigns has currently available, yet barely beats him out.

Hell, Styles has 25 more items available than Cena does. >_>

EDIT: They all have about 4-6 shirts available. Styles has the most if counting small changes, Reigns has the least.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure I've seen him wear all these shirts. He gets a lot of color changes like Cena does.

Reigns is the true head scratcher in that he has the least shirts, wears them the least, and should be the least likable, and yet...

Slightly related, but Ruby Riott is 100% ready for the roster more than any other woman they called up recently. Her mic work was really on point and Charlotte looked so stupid with Ruby trashing her and all she does is go "WOOOOO!"

Possibly also related, the Riott Squad is still a dumb faction and their theme music is bad.

Why are those three a team again? Other than just to be one. I think they are talented and Ruby Riott is definitely pretty good but they hardly fit together.

They're a team because they needed an excuse to debut a bunch of girls for the Royal Rumble. But I enjoy them as a team more than Absolution, who I think fits together even worse. I think they could have given Ruby a better posse. If you needed to debut all of these girls, make the teams Paige, Ruby, and Sonya as a group and then have Mandy, Liv, and... well, Sarah Logan doesn't fit anywhere. Give her a total gimmick makeover.

But they really should have debuted Peyton and Billie anyway. They already have a gimmick and could have done everything the other girls could with ten times the personality. Hell, have Mandy debut with them and have her be the ring leader and Billie and Peyton just laugh and be Peyton and Billie about everything with Mandy keeping them in line.

8. Jack Gallagher
9. Hideo Itami
10. Kalisto
11. Lince Dorado
12. Mustafi Ali
13. Rich Swann
14. Tony Nese

Not included are the injured wrestlers THE Brian Kendrick and Noam Dar, and Neville isn't included either. Not sure who else they might bring in outside of maybe Pete Dunne.
