Wrestlers with Highest Average Weighted Wrestling Observer Newsletter Star Ratings - Singles Matches Only

Please note that results are still being added to the database, which may lead to alterations in the order of the below list. To check on progress with updating the site, please refer to the FAQ page.
Results are weighted on match time, so the longer the match the greater the influence on the wrestler's average star rating. If no duration is recorded for a particular match it does not contribute towards the below rankings. Furthermore, in order to appear in the list below each wrestler needs more than 10 matches with both a duration and a star rating in the database.
All original match ratings come from Dave Meltzer of the highly respected Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
