The whole PWI list just exists to remind us that PWI still exists once a year, and the rankings are meant to be argued about, not actually defending. Still, it’s fun to analyze the rankings just because there’s nothing similar or better to do it with.
Among other well spred rumors about the lucha libre rumors, the belief is the luchadores are ranked seperately and dropped in the list every so often. If that’s true – since it allows me to do a big list, we’ll go with it – it stands to reason that you can decode the lucha rankings if you just pull them all out of main list and reorder them. That’s what I’ve done after the jump, going back the last three years. (I’m pretty sure I’ve done this before, but maybe this time I’ll be able to find this again.)
Only guys on the 2007 list are included.

This list also exists so we can say “we ought to come up with our own top 50 list” but never talking about it again ’til the next mid September…
=) I remember Cubs did CMLL rankings for OO a few years back, though.
So, Chessman is just #38 this year and Apache is not listed?
Where can the full rankings be seen?
Okay, I saw the whole list.
I should read before I post.
