And, in the digital age, we have released our weekly ratings for many of those same promotions. Criteria for ranking includes championships held/defended, win-loss record, push, and technical ability. C denotes the top/heavyweight champion of a given brand or promotion.
Ratings Committee: Jason McVeigh, Kristen Ashly, Harry Burkett, Paul Pratt, STRIGGA (cagematch.net, purolove.com), Kevin McElvaney
RATINGS POSTED ARE FOR SEVEN-DAY PERIOD ENDED MAY 8, 2025 [PLEASE NOTE: WRESTLERS MAY FALL OFF HEAVYWEIGHT, WOMEN, AND TAG TEAM RANKINGS AFTER PERIODS OF INACTIVITY]
