It says a lot about Barret that the only notable thing he's done in a long time is be in the top ten for a long time.

Which is something tons of other wrestlers have done but we never cared about that because they had done something more interesting to talk about.

With Barret it's also a joke that no matter how long he stays in the top 10, no one can take him seriously as a top carder because of his long history of choking at just about every opportunity he's been given.

People make a big deal about Barrett on the top ten is like Duke Nukem always being the person you should bet on.

It's got nothing to do with how good or bad he is, or how much people like or hate him. It's just a fun part of the narrative of the show.

Barrett never even cut a promo about it, or ever makes a big deal about his standing on the show, he's just a guy who never made it big, but still puts on a good show.

I like him though, so the 'always a good show' part might be biased.

The Barret Wallace Choke Counter is hilarious. We're up to 10 failed contender's matches and title shots.

Actually, it does show some development for Barret. For the longest time he was considered smack-dab in the midcard and the Power Rankings (IIRC) generally reflected that. Now, Barret has been been in the upper echelon of the show for what feels like an eternity. Even though Barret has yet to win a championship, he has made some improvements as a wrestler.

As for who has been in the Top 10 for the longest amount of time, that's probably Ganondorf.

He should get a belt for that...but he'd choke that shot as well.

It'd be like the VGCW of those "participation medals" people sometimes hand out.

There's a perfectly valid reason we hang a weight on him, and it's because he chokes so much it's hilarious.

Power Rankings updated for the December 1st, 2015 show, End Game X1! I would have gotten them out last night, but quite frankly, I needed a few hours to figuratively drink heavily until I passed out. And boy-howdy, did I pass out. I was sleeping like a baby on vicodin. They're trying to sell the manuscript to Fox as we speak. And then I woke up and was reminded of all the bullshit that went on last night, and I was all, hoo boy! There was a shitton of movement, and where there was no movement, there was a notable lack thereof! This is one of the most game-changing shows I can recall since I took over rankings. Highlights include:

  • HOOVY BULLY WHEN HOOVY WANT TO BULLY, NOT GROOSTER BOSS
  • Ganondorf and Knuckles ascend to the Top Ten after great victories over Kanji and Sabin!
  • Heavy, Mike Haggar, Sonic, Zangief, Phoenix Wright, Octodad, AND Segata all ranked up by more than ten!
  • Conversely, Groose, Break Man, Guile, Toad, and Donkey Kong all ranked down by ten or more! Poor heels!
  • No movement from the Co-Op Championship Match; however, Shadow Ball Valley debuts strong with a victory over Gary Oak's Authority! The Authority has been placed in rankings purely for recording purposes and should not be taken as an indication for how Gary or his team will be booked going forward.
  • Defunct Heymeter has been replaced with a Dragonmeter! Do you like kosher, iodized, or sea salt?
  • Dracula still Number 1!

The Mavericks
The Practice
Toejam & Earl
Birds of Prey

Actually the Dragons won the Co-Op Belts from the Mavericks at The Challenge Tower PPV.

I would like to point out Segata's final rating puts him directly above Bowser.

And that's hilarious.

I think this might be the first time ever for Knux and Heavy to be in the Top 10, so let's welcome them to these lofty echelons of glory.
