I can see you're new here. The motto on 4Chinz is Pics Or GTFO. Not just in a literal sense, but also in spirit. Post something to back your stupid shit up of fuck off back to where you came from, you false flagging turbo jew.
Actually introducing canon number based power levels to wrestling is a fucking awful idea and aew isn't going to last a...

>Having a UFC style ranking system is genius
And not at all a new idea. TNA did the exact same thing, probably multiple times, and it was complete dogshit. Now, that could just be because TNA was run entirely by incompetent jagoffs, and it's possible to do it well. But this isn't a rigged sport like UFC, this is fiction. You are supposed to SHOW, not TELL. If the show is done well enough, we should have a general idea of "rankings" just from watching without having to have some bullshit list straight out of a faggy anime guidebook spell it out for us.

it actually does though
you just think of it as numbers on a screen but in the context of matches stats can and do make stories with a good commentator
Bentley Flores
"""stats"""" can accentuate stories, if you lie about things like streaks, height, weight, etc (which is why they lie about streaks, height, and weight in wrestling)
wrestling isn't fucking real you mark so why should the stats be

calm down kid you're literally going so insane you're unintelligible

That's some impressive false equivalency. One of those shows is a sitcom while the other is presented as a contest between athletes. Tale of the tape, current streak, fight strategy, and in ring habits can all be immersive elements in that story.

This is so fucking cringe but just the type of shit smark geeks will enjoy so hope Tony Khan an his excellent workrate specialists can enjoy their 300k core fanbase for the remainder of their time on TNT. Jesus.

The Power Rankings for other sports are the equivalent of Dave Meltzer making a list of kayfabe power levels. It might be fun to read and hear his brief explanations (if he weren't such an autistic retard), but it has absolutely no bearing on any team's schedule, playoff seeding, or who wins games.
For instance, CBS's most recent MLB power rankings have both the Yankees and Rays in the top 6. It is entirely possible that one of them doesn't make the playoffs. The ACTUAL playoffs, not counting that abortional 1 game wild card shitshow that needs to fucking die.
Adam Foster
You're entirely right. It should just be something announcers can talk about and some graphics to throw up on screen. Power rankings really only factor into "speculation" about title shots and whatnot. It's just a little thing that goes a long way with presentation not the end all be all of creative.
