We are live 364 days a year. What are we doing here? If Dom turns at SummerSlam, I’m shaving my mustache off. I told you if that happens, it’s going. My lip is cold because of a stupid bet that I made to YouTube. Wrestle’s better than Daniel Bryan. Brian Daniel better than Okaublic. [Music] Good evening from Swany wrestling fans. I’m your host Ben Allison and you are watching Wrestling Republic’s daily broadcast. And it is a Sunday and you can bet it’s going to be a fun day. Today we are bringing back what we used to call the pound-for-pound rankings, what we are now going to call the Kayfabe top 10. And I’m going to explain what that is in just a few moments. But before I do, I need to introduce today’s panel. And let’s kick things off with Clark Taylor. How are you today, Clark? I’m fired up to be here, but I’m confused as to where this week went. It feels like five minutes ago we just finished last week’s Sunday Funday. And I’m like, wait a minute. It is Sunday. Uh I mean, we got a lot of good stuff going on. A lot of good wrestling coming up. Let’s get into it, though. I This is fun. You know, I love the list episodes. Absolutely. I can’t believe the last fun day was seven days ago. It is absolutely wild. Something about this week specifically has just gone way way too fast. But also joining us today, we have Angie. How are you, Angie? Oh, I think Good afternoon, guys, or good morning, wherever you are in the world. It is so fun to be here again. I always love being here on Sundays. It’s so much fun. And yeah, what happened to this week? Because I feel like I we did this like almost a few hours ago. Like that’s how that feels right now. It’s like universally this week’s flown by. And there’s genuinely no explanation for it in the slightest. There’s been nothing like really special about this past week. It’s just flown by, disappeared basically. We got Numero one Superfly in the chat saying it’s Sunday and you know what that means. Let’s have some Sundays. Okay, Sunday. Sunday’s funday. I thought that didn’t work. But anyway, let’s go ice cream. But talking about Let’s Go. Right before we went on air, something was said right the second before I pressed go live. And I have some questions about it because our last panelist today said, “Let’s go Eagles.” Please don’t tell me we’ve somehow got another Philadelphia Eagles Vanure Wrestling Republic. Mary, that was totally off base, but it was just for funny jokes. That was mainly for Shod. Shod, if you’re watching, if you’re watching. But other than that though, I I’m very happy to be here. I definitely 100% agree. This week flew by. I just remember I was on Thursday and then I wake up now it’s Sunday funday. So I’m excited. It is going to be a fun episode. That is undeniable. Right, without further ado, let me explain the Kayfabe top 10 purely from a Kabape standpoint. We are going to rank the top 10 wrestlers in the world. any promotion, any gender, anything. All they have to be is professional wrestlers and all it has to be based on Kabe, not wrestling ability, none of that. Just Kabe. But the question is, how do you weigh certain promotions? How do you weigh certain championships? Well, it is up to the panel and they are going to explain each one of their picks. We are going to start it off with me. We are going to go along. It’s going to end up being like a snake draft. And yeah, we’ll just keep going all the way to number one. But I am going to kick us off because my number 10 is over in Stardom. Somebody who is now a double champ. We have Sami Kamatani. In my opinion, I don’t think you can rank Stardom or New Japan Pro Wrestling as high up as WWE. That’s a hot take, but the audience isn’t nearly as big. So, that is how I’m going to weigh it. But s but Sia really has proven herself over the last I mean basically this entirety of 2025 so far and now she is a double champion defeating Azumi as well right I mean look to me clearly has to be on this list but Clark what is your pick at number 10 I’ve got my only non- champion on the list and if you’re a UFC fan you’re going to get this reference because she’s basically what Alex Pereira was headed into that fight last night and that’s the best uncrowned champion going and that’s the timeless one Tony Storm at number 10. Uh could not keep her off this list. Has had as good of a year as anybody and absolutely number 10. I can’t disagree with that pick at all. Obviously, she had a really long reign with an AEW Women’s Championship and it was a hell of a reign. And not only that, but you can even make the argument for her even more because she was never pinned to lose that title. She still hasn’t been pinned. Mhm. Exactly. Number 10. What about you, Angie? Who is your number 10? So, for number 10, I actually went ahead and went with um I decided to go with Ash by Elegance from TNA. Oh. um with the fact that she was finally able to get the uh knockouts championship belts. Um I think as someone who has just recently been binging through AEW and TNA um just to make sure I can keep up with the rest of you guys instead of just having the one promotion. There’s so much wrestling. so much. There’s so much. But like just seeing her just seeing like the way that she’s been like looking at I feel like she’s been looking at some of her past like matches and everything and like taking her um taking notes from her uh former tag tag um tag partners and just learned and learned and got to a point where she just like said, “Okay, now I’ve got the winning formula and then she got the championship. So, I was like, you know what, good on you. Absolutely. And when she does return from injury as well, of course, she’s had to vacate that belt, but she never lost it. So, when she does return from injury, she instantly has a case. So, fantastic pick in at number 10. Mary, who are you taking? I am going to go kind of the same route you did, Ben. I am absolutely not going to leave this girl off this list. I am going with Soul Ruka. Oh, great pick. Soul Ruka. I am mainly WWE for my list, but I I’m I’m sticking with it. She has been so impressive as of late. Absolutely. Double champ Champ as well there. Speed and North American. She made her debut this week on Smackdown. Basically just completely undeniable right now. Fantastic pick at number 10. But Mary, who is your number nine? Uh, keeping it in the WWE family, I’m gonna say Ethan Paige. Oh. Oh, Clark’s not gonna like that one. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Mary, I thought we were friends. And here we go. Here we go. Wait a minute. To someone that I’d say has been keeping the cave fabe for since he’s gotten the North American Championship. I I just I can’t I can’t leave him off. He’s too good. Very very fair. But only this once, Mary. One pass. Numero one Superfly is in the comments and he says in Kfabe number 10 is Jordan Grace. In at number nine, he’s going to go with the new AEW women’s champion Chris Startlander. Believe it or not, Numero One, all the way until half an hour before showtime, my number nine was going to be Chris Statlander, but I have changed it and I’ll uh go on to it in a little bit. But Angie, who’s your number nine? So my number nine, I’m going to have to give that to our first black AEW World Champion. Uh that’s going to be Swerve Strickland. And just that feat alone being being able to um have that achievement is honestly really good. And now we get to put him in the same conversation. This might be a bit of a take, but as being like part of that conversation of uh first black champions, um we get to put him in the same uh conversation as Jacqueline, which is great. Um, also same same song and dance got to a point where it’s like I started to get a little concerned because it seemed like he was kind of like the he he seemed like it was like really quiet for most of the time and just was like the standard like brawler. But then he got to a point where it’s like, okay, now I get it. Now I see why you’re a big deal and good on you for pro proving why why you are the first black AEW champion and honestly I’m so proud of him. That is a great shout. We got DCX Warlord in the comments saying happy to tell Ben that Arsenal is number one in the Premier League. Take that David. We don’t have any Man City fans at Wrestling Republic but if we did I’d also be laughing at them. Although they did win technically, but Clark, who do you have at number nine? I got to shout out numero and superfly because I do have Chris Statlander, the AW women’s world champion at number nine on my list. I think it’s deserved. Obviously, Tony Storm has had a heck of a year as well, but Statlander with the crowning achievement in her career thus far. I think deserves that spot at number nine. Fantastic, fantastic shout. Now, when it comes to how I’m weighing up my list, I have kind of viewed it as at the top of the pyramid, we have WWE’se’s main roster. Then beneath that, we has AEW and New Japan. Then beneath that, we have NXT and a few other companies, TNA and all there is, right? So, spoiler right now, there are no NXT talents on my list. But one person who based on that pyramid I’ve just explained is probably a little bit lower than you would be expecting is my pick in at number nine, Stephanie Vair. And the reason being is she has only just won the world women’s championship. And of course she did take an L when leaving NXT. But the fact of the matter is she is a world champion. That is undeniable. But when we do this next month, the month after, I expect her to climb up these rankings very very very fast because I do I don’t think she’s gonna, you know, be down there for long. In fact, I think she might be Tiffy time at Crown Jewel next week. But in at number eight, I have a midcard champion. And that midcard champion is Sami Zayn because before he won the belt, he was taking a few L’s, right? And that is why he’s not higher on this list. But the fact is in the last five weeks this man has drawn against John Cena. Defeated Jayvon Evans, Carmelo Hayes, Alistister Black, and I Ray Phoenix. That’s the other one as well. All fantastic matches. All great wins. So in at number eight, I have the Intercontinental Champion Sammy Zayn. But Clark, who do you have? At number eight, I’ve got an interesting one here. I’ve got Tiffany Stratton at number eight. and I think it’s deserved more than people would give credit for. She’s carried the belt for a majority of the year. She’s put on solid matches and I do think she deserves a spot on the list. She’s a little bit higher than people that I think have outperformed her but been less accomplished and just because of what she accomplished this year, I I put her this high on the list. Very very fair. Right. I can disagree with it, but it’s very very fair. What about you, Angie? Who is your pick at number eight? I kind of feel bad because I kind of put I put Tony Storm um in this spot for me. That works because um being honestly getting to a point where you’ve won won a championship four times already honestly I think is pretty awesome. Um on and can we just talk about how much of a delight she is because she she knows what she’s about. She knows she knows exactly how to like really bring bring the bring bring all of the wrestling fans to to a point where I was like you know what watching her is just so much fun. And on top of that, she’s like one of those. Does she count as a brawler? I think she counts as a brawler. You could say. Yeah. I mean, given that easily, you can argue that the amount of blood in some of those matches up. Yeah. Like she she’s been one of my favorite brawlers um that’s on that’s like active on the roster like so far. And I say my favorite brawler because my favorite favorite is more of a powerhouse than she is just a brawler. And we’re not going to talk about her right now because I actually didn’t put her on on this list. I didn’t put her on this list. And there’s reasons for that. I I stuck to like strictly like those who had like all of these accomplishments already. And unfortunately, um, even though she’s been with the roster for quite for a little bit, she hasn’t really made that statement other than Who is this person? Jade Cargill. Okay, go on. Great job. I had a big fan of Jade. Jade Cargill is really good at what she does, but she hasn’t really won too much to be on this list. And it makes me it hurts me to say that because that performance in that debut there in um in the Royal Rumble where she just like tipped everybody over like she was Kane like that was wonderful. It was awesome. There is no denying that at all. Adrien Padilla is saying Tony Storm is always wonderful to see. Love her character. DCX Warlord says, “I swear Tony has benefited from that pie in the face from Charlotte Flair.” I mean, I don’t think that moment did. It created a monster. It created a monster. There’s an argument to be made. The domino effect it created. You could argue that and now she’s wait for it. Wait for it. Timeless. Fantastic. Mary, who do you have in at number eight? Speaking of Charlotte Flair, she goddess honestly has to take number eight. Figure eight, it’s only fitting that we put the queen at number eight. There you go. There you go. A very solid shout indeed. Who do you have at number seven? Um, let’s keep it moving. I’m going to say a little bit out of the box. I’m going to go with Ring of Honor Women’s World Champion Athena. Great pick. Athena. And if I had if I had a number 11, I’m telling the truth. You’re married. That would have been my number 11 like on my list. I’ve moved her so much around on this list. Difficult one to keep off the list for me. Absolutely. I mean, look, we always talk about, you know, Ring of Honor might not be what it used to be, but the fact is Athena’s reign, I mean, like, how long’s it been now? I mean, maybe two. Is it been over two years? It’s a thousand days. I think it’s 1,000 days. Yes, it’s been over a thousand days with basically as long it’s it’s basically as long as we’ve been doing the daily almost. Think about that. Absolutely wild. Kind of fascinating. And it happened speaking of like we talked about this week going by fast. It’s gone by fast. The rain like we can’t you know it’s kind of nuts. It’s kind of gone it has gone by fast because let’s be real about it. uh at times she’s just not, you know, had any really good defended against everyone. That’s they’ve just run out of people for her. But yeah, 1,30 days she has held that belt. So, a little bit off Roman, but not too far at this point in time. A fantastic pick in number seven, Mary. And DCX Warlord agrees as well. Numero one has got a tie between Naomi and Stephanie. Of course, Naomi never lost that belt. And in at number eight, he had Mike Santana. Angie, who do you have? Um, my my pick here would have to be Jordan Grace. Um, okay. I went with her because she is a three-time knockout champ and the inaugural digital uh digital media champ. I did not realize this until I until I started doing my research and I went, “Oh, oh, interesting.” Okay, so being an inaugural champ honestly honestly was like a no-brainer of putting her on this list. Now, I also want to preference by saying that a lot of my list here is like putting this in order of how not only how many championships they’ve won, but it has to be individual championships, not tag team championships because like that would be too easy because um The Miz would have been on this list anyway. So, not a not a dick at him. He he is also pretty good in the ring, but like that that that’s not the point here. But um being able to watch um her matches and everything, oh my gosh, what is happening over there? Like what’s happening over there in TNA cuz like I don’t remember them them getting down like this. like the like the last time I saw the women’s division, it was gimmicky to high-end. And then now getting a chance to um go back and watch some of the more recent stuff, I’m not upset by this. It’s really great to see to see these ladies really being able to show off their chops and be able to um show why they can not compete with the men but be at that same level. And Jordan Grace is a really good example of that because I feel like um some of her matches have been able to keep up with some of the best to do it even on the men’s side. Yeah, absolutely. There is no denying Jordan Grace at all. One of the best competitors in the world right now. I’m in agreement with you. Angie Donnie says that he’s tuning in late. What is the criteria for this? The way it works is it’s purely based on Kayfabe right now. How you want to view that is up to you. As I said at the start of the show, I’m currently kind of viewing it as like a pyramid where WWE is at the top, then it’s AEW and New Japan, then NXT and stuff below that. And I sort of looked at it like the way we used to do it, the pound-for-pound list in boxing or in MMA where like you’re looking at just who’s the most effective. Doesn’t matter what division they’re necessarily in, but who’s the best um going right now. So, that’s kind of what I what I went with. Who do you have going at number seven? Number seven is an interesting one because she’s had a great year and I honestly I almost had her a lot higher than this, but it’s Stephanie Vakair. I think she’s been awesome. I I think the evolution of Vakair is huge. which I think she deserves a spot on the list and so I’ve got her at seven. A fantastic peg. I can’t argue with that at all, Clark. But in at number seven, I have another female competitor from WWE. Another midcard champion, another Intercontinental Champion because I am going for Becky Lynch. I mean, look, we’ve all seen the matches she’s had in recent months. She’s elevated that championship. There’s no denying it. But talking about elevating championships, now it’s time to annoy the internet wrestling community because in at number six, I have Mercedes Monae because let’s face it, how many belts has she won? Crazy. She has done that. Now, admittedly, some of those belts don’t mean much, right? But the fact is she has won so many high-profile matches over the past year, and she has elevated that belt. The one loss she did take was against Tony Storm for the AEW Women’s Championship, but apart from that, she’s beaten everyone. But Clark, who do you have at number six? Oh, you thought you were going to be the only one in Wait, wait, don’t you have to pick your next one, too? No, I’ve done it. I’m just uh Oh, you just haven’t typed it. Sorry, it threw me off. Okay, well, you thought you’d be the only one to annoy the IWC. Watch this, man. Hold my adult beverage here. Give me Cody Rhodess at number six. We’re talking about a guy that whiffed in the main event. Sure, he’s carrying in the greatest prize in the game, the WWE Championship. He whiffed in the Mania main event. They whiffed it at SummerSlam. He hasn’t had a super relevant rivalry until Seth Rollins of late. He hasn’t had that good of a year. The story’s finished. The nice shine on the brand new car. Our new toy is gone. And guess what? Six. He deserves a spot on the list, but no higher than the six spot. Do you know what? Actually, Clark, I’m actually pleasantly surprised he’s that high on your list. I would have been surprised if you left him off it, to be brutally honest. I thought you weren’t going to pick him at all. I considered leaving him off, but I wanted the moment of saying him on the show. It would have been dreadful if you left be champion off of KFA Bliss. I will say that. But Angie, who do you have in at number six? though. Oh boy. Oh, that means Clark’s not going to like who I had for number one. Anyway, so uh for spoilers, I don’t know what you mean. I didn’t say anything. Uh so for Gosh. For number six, I went ahead and went with uh Tiffany Stratton. um being able to get the NXT Women’s Championship, Money in the Bank winner, and also being uh WWE women’s champ as well. Uh I thought I thought I was looking at uh at this generation’s Charlotte Flair. like they just went ahead and repackaged repackaged her to will be like another Charlotte Flair. Like that’s where I thought that was going. I am so happy to be wrong. I’ve never been so happy to be so wrong ever. And honestly, I think she defined herself a lot more from that because I think, and don’t quote me on this because I might be wrong on this, um, sadly, uh, but I believe it came up at one point where she was just like, “No, I’m not a second you.” Like addressing Charlotte. Yeah, she did. She said it. Oh, she did. Yay. Yeah. Okay. And she’s like, “I’m not a second you. I’m better.” Paraphrasing here, but like she is like, you know, you have very much made it when you get the privilege to use Barbie as part of your as part of your entrance. Like, you know, you made it because that is a great Oh, boy. They are a little uh they’re stingy with those. They are. I mean, look, WWE women’s champion, a fantastic pick. DCX Wallard is repeating Clark’s just nonsense. His hatred towards Cody Rhodess. The truth. Luis Morales is saying he is dashing, defending Cody Rhodess. He is and Adrian says the same. But Mary, who do you have in at number six and number five? Well, let’s keep them both from the same brand. I’m going to go with AEW Trios Champ Samoa Joe. Love that. And number one contender. And number one, Samoa Joe. That is all. Joe Joe Joe. Yeah. What about five? I am so torn. I was so torn deciding between these two. But my husband’s going to be very happy. I’m going to go with MJF. Maxwell. Jacob Freriedman. Maxwell. He’s been an absolute menace to CML as of late. That is true. He really has. He has absolutely demeaning Mystico as we speak, let alone Mark Brisco. But winning streak, they ended up both getting wins over him though to be fair. That is true. That is true. That’s why I was so torn. I’m doing it anyway. You have Oh, who is your number five, Angie? I Oh gosh, I can’t believe I’m saying this. Uh, I’m going to do Seth Rollins here. Oo, hell of a pick. The world champion. Two twotime WWE champ. Two time Universal Champ. The funny thing is that when I went to go look this up again because I was like, didn’t he win it a third time? No, it was only a two and they put I don’t know who did that, but someone put him as the inaugural um Universal Champ and I said no, no, that’s wrong. No, no, he was not. It was originally Finn Balor. He only had it for a little bit because of the fact that he had to relinquish it due to injury caused by who? Seth. And who got it because of it? Seth. So, he doesn’t count as the inaugural champ. Technically, it’s still Finn Balor. And anyone who disagrees can fight me on it. I mean, it is true. It is Finn Balor and then it was Kevin Owens. Um, but Angie, if you could do me a favor and just look at the private chat, uh, that would be very much appreciated. Clark, what is your number pick? What is your pick at number five? Sami Zayn. Open challenge. All kinds of good matches. You said it earlier. He’s wrestled all the guys that you said earlier. You were right about it then, but I’ve got him higher on the list, even than your beloved Cody Rhodess. How do you like me now, Ben? Higher than Cody Rhodess. Yep. Yes, sir. Just had a better year. What is wrong with you, Clark? Well, guess what? But I’m going to annoy you too because I’ve picked the dirtiest player in the game, Dominic Mysterio. He has been the Intercontinental Champion. I wrongly said Sami Zayn was the Intercontinental Champion earlier in the United States. He is the Intercontinental Champion. Duri Dominant Mysterio and he has held the belt since WrestleMania. Even if he has cheated, the fact is he has held the belt. But in at number four, I have the AEW World Champion, Hangman Adam Paige. He went on a fantastic streak and ended up defeating John Moxley to win that belt. But what do you have at number four, Clark? At number four, I’ve got Seth Frein Rollins. He won the better of the two Wrestlemania main events and he’s held the world title. He deserves this spot. No doubt about it. And that’s also why he’s ahead of again same guy I said before, Cody Rhodess. I’m going to take every shot I can for the rest of this list. I’m trying to work out who you have in the top three then. You have no idea, dude. Watch this. Wild. Uh, Angie, what about you? Who do you have at number four? I think you muted. I think you muted Angie. So sorry. Testing. Testing. Okay, cool. Sorry about that. So, my number four, I’m going to go with Trip Williams on this. DNA World Champ currently, I think. Yes, we have. That’s a fact. No, that’s true. He’s still holding it on Tuesday night. Yep. Okay, cool. Cool. And then, uh, two two-time NXT champ and NXT North American champ. Honestly, need I say more? Deserved. That’s it. to be honest with you. Very, very solid shout. Um, I can’t deny it at all. What about you, Mary? Who do you have at number four? Oh, man. The internet’s going to kill me. But, uh, screw it. Speed Champ El Grande Americano. Oh, I love this. It’s my favorite pickaxe. Why not? You got to shout it out. Two two separate great runs. Exactly. We’re We’re about to hit the fourth, the fifth, what the sixth, like fully in. I’m in. I’m sold. Number four. Is this taking into account his madeup history in Mexico? Well, sorry. Very real. He was undefeated. Artificial intelligence. Yeah, he’s undefeated. What do you What do you mean? Do do your research. Come on now. He’s undefeated. This 20 year long career in Mexico, he’s won all the titles. He’s like the modern Mike Tyson. He’s undefeated and young. Very young. He’s got a but also very old too with a dead. We don’t really know. That’s the hard part. He’s actually immortal surrounding him. I mean, I don’t know if you saw it was in black and white originally when he was wrestling that promag as an adult human grew five inches somehow this year. Hit a growth spurt in the middle of the year. Some people just do that. He went from 5’9 to 63. Like it’s incredible. Cosmetic surgery. You’d be surprised what it does. Mary, who do you have at number three? All right, I gotta do it. Double Champ Champ. The dirtiest kid in the game. Eddie Guerrero’s son. Dirty Dom. I love it. Dirty Dom. I love it. Dirty Dom. Dirty Dirty. I think Donny’s correct on that one. Yeah. Dirty Dirty Dom. Donnie says, “I heard Grande Americano won the first Intercontinental title in Rio.” I heard that the other day. Someone did. We don’t know who it is. Someone someone out there. Angie, who was your pick at number three? Uh, number three I’ve got John Moxley. uh since he’s a four-time AEW world champ, AEW International Champ, and I did not know this, a global Grand Slam champ since he’s won championships in AEW, WWE, and New Japan. I couldn’t possibly I couldn’t honestly find John Moxley in WWE. Must have been under a different name. I just can’t put my finger on it. Dean Ambrose. I was joking, dude. I know. I was playing that mud wagon. You couldn’t let me have that. K, Clark, keeping Kayface. My bad. Gosh, usually does that too, claiming Blake Monroe and Mariah May are a different person. Well, that’s different. They are different people. I’m sorry, Angie. D6X Warlord El Grande Americano went through puberty this year. That’s what exactly. He hit a growth spurt somehow. Clark, who’s your pick at number three? I got the CEO. CEO Mercedes Monae at number three. All the belts, all the gold, all the glory. even challenged for a world title against Tony Storm this year unsuccessfully unfortunately but still with all the belts she’s carried and what she’s done this year deserves a spot in the top three very fair indeed I honestly can’t argue with it but I know the IWC certainly will for me in at number three I am going to go with the world heavyweight champion Seth Rollins this man I mean look he won Money in the Bank again. He cashed in. He’s now world champion. He’s had a couple of defenses. He won the main event of night one at WrestleMania. He has done a lot. Yes, he’s taken a few losses in that match against LA Night where he faked an injury and stuff like that, but the fact is he currently holds a world championship and that well that is undeniable. But then in at number two, Clark, you are going to love this. Yes. I can’t wait. I’ve got the American Nightmare, the WWE Champion, the biggest prize in the game, Cody Rhodess. Ouch. Not number one. Not number one. I’m glad you have him at two cuz it’s the right answer. It’s the right answer. I’m glad you did the right thing. Ben, do you have clock? At number two, I’ve got another world champion, and I think the current top men’s world champion in any promotion, and that is Hangman Adam Paige. One heck of a year he’s had. Absolutely deserves this spot at number two. I love it. Um, and I love to be able to put him in the same slot you put, Cody. Cody. Cody. Oh my gosh. His old friend from the elite. His old friend from his old pal. Certainly one way to put it, isn’t it? What about you, Angie? Who do you have at number two? AEW’s very own Will Osprey. I can’t even get into these accomplishments. He’s got a lot under his belt. So, as a decorated as this decorated, honestly, I couldn’t put him I could have put him as number one, but I decided to be out of spite for my number one, but we’ll get into that in a little bit. But yeah, Will Osprey has has to be number two tier cuz he is just one of the best. one of the best in the world. There’s no denying he has done it everywhere apart from WWE. He has basically become the face of like anti-WWE wrestling in terms of hey, you don’t need to go there to have an amazing career and to do amazing things. And he has certainly proved that. But Mary, who do you have at number two and then number one? Oh, you are good. You’re going to love this. I’m going to go with the hot husband. Our world champ, Seth freaking Rollins. He deserves the top two. Yeah, he’s so great. He’s He can carry the belt for the next three years. I don’t care. Don’t Don’t speak that into into the universe. They might pull a whole Roman Reigns if they do that. Don’t do that. I I don’t have to listen to this. I have a feeling Clark’s about to crash out. Uh Mary, who is your number one? My ears. I can’t hear this. Everybody says it. Sports Illustrated said it. Bleacher Report said it. Now I’m saying it on WR. Rebecca Quinn, Becky Lynch, our world women’s Intercontinental Champion. Mary, you’re my hero. How on earth is the WWE champion not on a kayfabe list? What? Because Mary knows ball, Ben. Mary knows ball. That’s how Tiffany Stratton and Cody Rhodess have been absolutely robbed on your list, Mary. Mary knows game. There’s no doubt about it. Absolutely. It’s okay, Ben. I I I’ve got them on my list. Okay. Because my number one is Cody Rhodess. No, my shoot. Because again, just like with Will Osprey, we can’t even get into all those accomplishments. Not even with WWE alone, he’s done. He’s been doing the work just like his daddy. So, guess what? He’s on the list. He is my number one pick. I mean, you can never argue against Cody being number one. He does hold the biggest prize in this industry. Donnie says it as well. And numero one says Elgante Americano. Just kidding. It’s actually Hangman Adam Paige. But Clark, who have you got? Well, I was terrified that Mary was going to pick Cody Rhodess. Then of course Angie is ends up being the one to do it. But the irony and the craziest part about Mary’s pick cuz I expected it to be Cody is it’s the same as mine. And it’s big time best at number one given her past accomplishments, the years she’s had, the story lines that she’s had with AJ Lee, what she did for The Vision. She’s been the best thing for The Vision, including Paul Heymon all year long. Story doesn’t matter. Yeah, it does. Everything matters. It all matters. It all matters. Hey, fab. It matters what she’s done inside the ring. Bell Lyra Valkyia at at uh SummerSlam. Money in the Bank, the matches that she’s had, the SummerSlam spot, everything about it. Becky Lynch is the number one kayab wrestler in the world. And there’s no debate about that. I believe it. No doubt. Donnie, you can have your Cody Rhodess. Take it, right? I could have been worse and said CM Punk, but I’m I’m going to be nice about this. That would really freak us out. Right. Well, you know what? You’re all wrong, right? because there is a the top title in this industry is the WWE Championship. I have already said it on any kayfabe list that has to be top. But I think we’re in a state now where men’s and women’s wrestling should be considered equal. And the fact of the matter is we have a WWE champion in the women’s division who has held the championship for nearly a year. She’s defeated everybody, absolutely everybody in her division. She’s got nobody left. And guess what? It’s very probable she’s going to go to Crown Jewel and win there as well because in my opinion right now, the number one cave wrestler in the world is Tiffany Stratton. That is a wild pick, but respect. Respect. WWE champion. I’m not mad about it. I thought you were going to go Kit Wilson. I was getting nervous. All right, bro. If I went Kit Wilson, I couldn’t even I totally thought you were gonna go Kit. I I could see it in your eyes. You almost said kid on accident. I almost went for it. I was like K. Oh, shoot. Yeah. Like one Stratton. Sorry. Donnie D Silva says it’s a good thing it’s a worklist because in reality Becky isn’t what is this Donnie did you just reread controversy creates cash I mean Sports Illustrated Sports Illustrated Kyle Fletcher another good shout uh happy Sunday Fernando that brings us to the end of the show guys Nobody picked Roman Reigns.
