Ryback On Kenny Omega Topping PWI 500 List

During a recent episode of his podcast (transcript via Wrestlinginc.com), former WWE star Ryback talked about various topics including IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega topping this year’s annual PWI 500 list. Here is what he had to say:

“Honestly, it’s just a person or a group of people’s opinion [on the list] and that’s fine, Ryback said. “For as bad as people say that I am I was #13 one year I believe, so it means nothing. That is good that they made their list; it is their list.”

“My opinion, and only my opinion is that they should always have a WWE guy at the top of their list. I say that because of the schedule. A guy like AJ Styles is going out there 4 nights a week, week after week, big time TV matches and pay per view matches, which is an entire different ballgame than anything else,” he said. “Not to discredit anyone else but they are the most notable professional wrestling company in the world and the schedule, there is no other schedule like, so that has to be factored in, which it probably is to a certain degree, but again, all great names on the list, but if you take a group of 20 people they can have 20 different choices for who is number one, as I told you my reasons why I think it should be WWE guys at the top of the list because of the schedule and the demands.”
