Dave is hinting that AEW might be abandoning their rankings moving forward. Apparently their website hasn’t been updated since August.
It’s kind of a “no shit” scenario for me. Rankings and the displayed record was always going to create unnecessary corners for the booking to deal with. The great thing about wrestling is that you get to do a bit of creative accounting with people. You can heat someone with a terrible record up and you can bring forward stats you want to be known, leaving things you don’t care about behind you.
You were always going to get mid-carders with insane records and main eventers who are 50/50. You were also going to get ridiculous career statistics. It was a bad idea idea in conception and no one is going to convince me it was just their execution, lol. Look, you can have that the execution was terrible, but it was just a bad idea, ok?
