Using a new statistical model to determine points for individual match results from 1963 right up until the end of 2025, we bring you the Top 100 Wrestlers in WWE's history from a kayfabe perspective. Taking a major event from each month since Jan 1963, applying a points scoring mechanism which takes into account match type, importance of event and whether a title was on the line, every wrestler in WWE's history has been ranked and given a points tally, and today we reveal the results.

In order to make sure we keep up our regular commitment to you of one episode per week we thought we would round up all the stuff that has taken place in the wake of WrestleMania including our thoughts on the documentary that seemed to dominate that show throughout the weekend, Hulk Hogan: Real American. We also discuss the latest round of post 'Mania releases and check in with AEW- the Darby Allin title win, the general quality of the product and our hopes for this year's All In.

So after the first night of this year's WrestleMania was adjudged by us to be an almost complete wash out, could WWE recover the weekend on Night 2? That is the question we'll be looking to answer with our latest episode. A lot was riding on the main event which saw CM Punk defending the World Heavyweight Title against Roman Reigns, and the much anticipated contest between Brock Lesnar and 'The Next Big Thing' Oba Femi.

The WrestleMania series is back, albeit temporarily, as we bring you full coverage of both nights of this year's event, starting with Night 1 here.

Cody Rhodes was facing Randy Orton in the main event, meanwhile underneath, Stephanie Vaquer defended the Women's Title against Liv Morgan and Gunther battled Seth Rollins.

It's our last stop on the series of significant events in history, and to round things off ahead of WrestleMania season, it felt only right to get as far away from the glitz and glam of the 42nd edition of the Grandaddy of them all as possible, and a trip to 1988 AWA with their SuperClash III event. This was a big last effort by the remaining hold outs of the territory age to come together and try to keep the WWE and NWA wolves from the door, with the American Wrestling Association teaming up with CWA from Memphis, WCCW from Texas and women's promotion POWW to put on their one and only foray into pay-per-view,
