Welcome to another edition of Wrestler Wrankings™, your definitive source for hard data in the venerable sport of professional wrestling.
I'd like to take this opportunity to personally thank all of the loyal Wrestler Wrankings wreaders. Some of you have been with us from the start, while others have joined up more recently as we've picked up steam. Either way, I truly value your feedback and support. We're all in this grand experiment together and I, for one, am truly savoring the ride. I hope you enjoy these columns as much as I enjoy writing them.
With that said, it's been months since we checked to see who YOU think will be the Wrankings leader, as the pro wrestling season concludes at Wrestlemania 29. The entire Top 15 is listed for your choosing pleasure or you can select "none of the above" and let us know who you think will win in the comments section. Make your voice heard!
