I think Akina should be #1
I know Emo is the world Champion, but Akina has more wins than sevral people have had matches

[THE DUDE]

SO does this mean that akina is the next man in line for the world title shot? if you going by Akina record then he is the uncrowned BEST in URWL

[Goldash]

It doesn't necessarily mean that. I rank based on performance. The only reason I put Emo over him is because he owns the URWL Championship and performs better in matches (although Akina's, from what I've heard feedback-wise have been great as well). Record doesn't mean much in the power rankings, because wrestlers who put on bad matches sink (such as Salvatore, who dropped 7 points from the post-PD2008 ranks).

While true, Vince and I actually use a mathematical algorithm similar to the NCAA Bowl Championship series rankings to calculate our power rankings.

25% of final rank defines a win,
25% of final rank defines a loss,
5% of final rank derives from "quality points" exclusively determined by the URWL Board of Directors and never explicitly defined,
2% of final rank is the amount of Google searches for a wrestler's name per month,
1% of final rank accounts for the amount of times a wrestler has seen Let The Right One In (awesome film, by the way)
.5% of final rank hasn't been defined but is averaged in anyway for no apparent reason...

...and the remaining 41.5% accounts for TBA because it hasn't been invented yet.

In other words, the internet is serious business.
