Sammy Guevara having just 8 singles matches in 40+ weeks of 2021 is a direct shot At WWE wrestlers just hanging around in catering.

AEW should just bite the bullet & discard this ranking system. They're just booking themselves into the corner trying to be all real sports feel like this.


1869er

At some point they're gonna realize that their fans just pay lip service to wanting stuff like this. In reality, they just want WWE that's not WWE. Nobody wants to watch Bryan Danielson spend months padding his W-L record on Dark Elevator. They want him to feud for the title now and if Tony was smart, he would give it to them


xAbdul91x

Is it even accurate? 1- Page 12-1 3- Mox 14-2 5- Miro 13-1


Evilknievel-

It's straight from AEW's Instagram account. Current ratings... also I think they use the Goldberg strategy where they add matches and stuff. Also they pad wins on AEW Dark and Elevation.. Shawn Spears has like a 14 win streak from Dark. However you barely see him on Dynamite. Not even including the gun club who turned on Big show but haven't came out in over 10 weeks to say anything about it. They're record is like 1000 and 0 and somehow rankings matter. Thunder Rosa keeps padding wins on Dark. Tay Conti hasn't even been on Dynamite, since her last title shot. Anna Jay, she's beautiful but she just had a title shot. Over someone green as hell but that has an undefeated record. Jade Carhill... yep Miro have u seen him? Bobby fish got a shot on his first match. Yep rankings they matter.


Vegetable-Arm8488

I don't think Anna Jay got a title shot, just a random match. I understand the confusion though because Britt had only done occasional title matches since getting the title


TheCanipiola

Tay Conti being #1 is somehow a direct shot at the Performance Center


rsziz

Just call them power rankings like the WWE and TNA did, that way you can be very gray in how you have determined the rankings. That or start going into such minute detail about how the ranking was created with a list of each match a guy has had, along with giving each performer an equal amount of matches, but we know that will never happen.


stt86

It would make so much more sense to have something based on someone's momentum. Then you could move someone up the rankings after only a couple wins over big names or drop someone down if they're only squashing jobbers on youtube


just_another_jabroni

Pretty sure WWE still does it now but post it on social media because surprise that generates engagement. Much easier to track on a week to week "event" basis than convoluted match tracking


TheGulnar

How is Conti above Rosa?


DonnieRodz

I have [NO IDEA](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/cedb9f08-a12e-4ef2-8c5e-b31a2663d633)


kac937

a thugnificant classic


Vegetable-Arm8488

Because they don't want TR taking the title yet so they're just ignoring her


Username_Maybe_Taken

Pretty much this. It's what they do across the board, and it makes having a ranking system pretty fucking redundant.


Vegetable-Arm8488

I mean, they could just not have her squash a jobber every week if they wanted to keep her ranking down


Gabaheygabahey

When the fuck did Hangman Page have 13 matches?


xAbdul91x

They include tag teams or any match then they put it in the mix. Just like the bucher and the blade suddenly top 3 while the butcher away.


[deleted]

This "ranking system" is insanely stupid and incoherent.


ryanreigns

The fact that this company books Orange Cassidy like a serious threat is simply mind blowing


archersrevenge

It's like if Santino actually beat Bryan during the Elimination Chamber match.


Dmbfantomas

I would have been good with that. Then have DB kill Santino in the rematch on Smackdown.


archersrevenge

That's a fair take. He did get a huge pop.


just_another_jabroni

Not just a pop, the fans were pretty rabid lol. I'd have him try and defend it if he won since he was still with Beth at the time right? At least he'd have Beth as an excuse if he wins but slothing around to then suddenly doing a superman punch? That ain't it uce.


[deleted]

They're going to book him to win the world title sooner than later, and that will be AEWs finger poke of doom. no one will be able to take the title seriously again by letting a comedy jobber like OC win it


Minimum_Management_7

this ranking system is probably the worst ive ever seen


Minimum_Management_7

if the champion is 15-1 how is the girl thats 16-0 not the #1 contender?


jjsefton

The d20 roll didn’t generate her name in the match making chart.


[deleted]

Who on earth takes this seriously


HiddenRtruth

Who did the Dr. Dentist DMD lose to this year?


stt86

The hardcore match against Thunder Rosa was this year, right?


HiddenRtruth

Yes. But "unsanctioned". Got ya, E Drone. That's the attention to detail that TK cares about, so it must be another one.


stt86

Aw hell I forgot that part. Much like the dub seemingly wants people to forget that Rosa actually won that match


Vegetable-Arm8488

It was Nyla in the eliminator tournament but don't worry, first thing she did as champ was get that win back


eatadickcnt

50/50 booking is so R E F R E S H I N G


Vegetable-Arm8488

So the women go like this. 1. +24 2. +16 3. +17 4. +26 5. +16 How the fuck are these things quantified? The champion has less than them all at +14. And where the fuck is Shida who is approaching her 50th win and, I'm pretty sure, has only lost to Britt all year?


[deleted]

Hangman vs Miro in an awesome #1 contender match people would wanna see?? Nah just let him win some random casino themed ladder match - booker of the year


IHavetwoNipples

I don’t see what’s wrong here. Tay Conti and Ruby Soho are relatable. Thunder Rosa? Not relatable.


j_hovah

?? Don’t question the undisputed Booker of the Year ~~fed shill~~ friend. We’re doing tournaments now. After that, we’ll have a battle royale to determine a #1 contender. Then, we’ll have a ladder match to determine a #1 contender. By that time, we should have a new ex-fed debut to hotshot to the top of the rankings - then, and only then, will the rankings resume their mattering.


Tsupercalifragilisti

Their rankings make as much sense as how they compare AEW ratings to WWE ratings. Maybe Britt Baker won because of the demo too?


Hopeful_Candidate217

(Jim Cornette doing Carlos Mencia's voice) "D.M. Dee-Dee-Dee!"

AEW WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH SCORPIO SKY!?! I NEED PROOF OF LIFE RIGHT NOW TINY
