On Thursday, the annual PWI 500 list which ranks the top wrestlers in the world was released.
Taking to “Busted Open Radio” on Friday, Tommy Dreamer took issue with some of the ranking criteria and where Roman Reigns would rank based on PWI’s criteria. He said,
“Again, this criteria thing, and there’s two things in that really bother me. Jokingly, ‘Oh, just give an answer.’ I cannot because I know it’s not real. I need to know, cool then who won the most matches right then and there? That’s my criteria then. But if you put Roman Reigns — the entire industry for that for this year has been led by Roman Reigns, where every wrestler should walk up to Roman Reigns say, ‘Hey man, thank you. Thank you for leading the industry.’”
He continued, “Outside of all of the rest, I’m trying to go facts in a non-factual sport. Based on these facts, Roman Reigns is 300 and down. Based upon real numbers, Roman Reigns is top-five.”
