Wrestler Wrankings™: 2012-13 Season, Week 37

No need to waste any time. Here's the scores from every episode of WWE's Main Event, which will be retroactively included into Wrestler Wrankings, starting with the premiere episode from the beginning of October and ending with this week's edition. Henceforth, Main Event will be included normally with the Wrankings, just like RAW andSmackDown. Enjoy!

Eyeballing these results suggests that many of the familiar faces from the top of the Wrankings seem to be meeting with additional success on Main Event. This makes sense considering that mostly marquee names have been competing on this superlative show.

A quasi-exception to this is Kofi Kingston who, despite being Intercontinental Champion, is mired down in the low teens in the Wrankings. He is currently the top point-getter on the program with 5. If he can keep this up, we'll be calling him "Mr. Main Event" in no time.

My advice to Kofi would be to defend the IC strap on Main Event regularly. We can't expect World Title matches on normal TV with any kind of frequency, but I'd gladly tune in on Wednesdays to see the Intercontinental Title up for grabs.

In any case, let's just hope that WWE maintains a Wrankings-worthy program in Main Event. It's the best wrestling on TV!
