As a sports fan, I enjoy stats. The league leaders in different categories, the all-time records, who is close to reaching a milestone. I love all that stuff. Over the years, I have poured through hundreds of stats in sports and other topics too from economics to natural disasters. What can I say, I’m a numbers a kind of guy. Since I started taking night school courses in September 2015 I have added a lot of math to my agenda and I got more courses coming up such as statistics and economics, soon I will have the formal educational background to back-up my ice breaking topics while on dates or going to parties.......my skills in dating and parties have yet to improve with my new found knowledge......
Anyway, as a pro wrestling fan I have always wondered why stats on wrestlers have never been kept (to my knowledge at least). I always thought it would be interesting to know some wrestlers record before a match, the same way boxing and UFC do their tale of tape. I wish pro wrestling would do the same thing. I began to think about all the championships wrestlers have won over the years and how it would all stack up if you compared wrestlers. A world championship is certainly more prestigious than winning a hardcore championship and Ric Flair’s 16 world championships (I am aware it is more than 16, I am just sticking with that number for this project) is certainly a much bigger deal than The Great Khali single title reign.
It was from these thoughts that I decided to put a point system together to determine just who are the most successful wrestlers in terms of championships won. Using Wikipedia (feel free to point out an error, I don’t know where else to get this type of info) I calculated stats for 101 professional wrestlers (some names were left out, I did the best I could) and covered all the championships over the WWE, WCW, and ECW promotions because those are the three promotions that I watched the most. I could have covered NWA, NJPW, TNA/GFW, and ROH but that would take up a lot more time and this whole project already took me over a month of research and excel work. Just about every spare chance after coming home from work and some weekends were dedicated to this. That’s me, mister exciting life!
So, without further ado, here is Geo’s Professional Wrestler Point System! Did your favourite wrestler make the list? Who is #1 overall? Who cracks 100 points? Which point total surprises you? Who’s dead last? Find out and enjoy!
