Wrestler Wrankings™: 2013-14 Season, Weeks 1-3

Professional wrestling is the purest form of sport in the world.

No other athletic endeavor combines the aesthetics of muscle tone and the courage to leap from high places, with the sheer style of spandex briefs. Wrestling's integrity is beyond reproach and cannot be doubted. And if there's one thing professional wrestling fans know, it's that the only proper way to track the success of your favorite WWE Superstar is by his success in the ring.

The only issue with this is WWE keeps its wins and losses under wraps and publishes no official rankings. That's where the Wrestler Wrankings™ come in. Each week, we score and track victories using a simple, patented system. Then at the end of the wrestling season, we tally up the scores to determine who was the greatest wrestler of that year. It's a useful and fun way to keep track of all the action that WWE presents us with on a weekly basis.

After all, no matter how chilling the Jake "The Snake" Roberts promo, how majestic the Dynamite Kid snap suplex, or how plump and girthy the Yokozuna buttock, there is simply no substitute for victory in the world's purest form of sport.

Please join us this season as we score the year in wrestling and determine the 2013-14 Wrestler Wrankings Champion!
