Rating System

My system works by taking a wrestler's ten best one-on-one matches, as rated by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.  A list of matches rated 3 stars or higher are compiled here.

I take the total of the ratings of the ten matches and double it to get a number out of 100.  For ties, the wrestler with the better 11th best match wins.  If both wrestlers had equally-rated 11th best matches, then the wrestler with the better 12th best match wins...and so on.
