Questions for the GWE Podcast

[Grimmas]

I'll be recording episode 1 in a few weeks and plan to put this out monthly. I would like to spend a portion of the show answering questions. The questions can be GWE related or not, but I'll answer them. You can post them here.

How will the Four Pillars of AJPW do in 2026? Will they lower, do about the same or rise a little bit?

[MichaelZ]

Posting with the understanding that answers may differ depending on the individual case....

1) I was wondering how many matches does it take for you to start thinking about where you are ranking someone? I've been thinking about this and how to assess wrestlers I am seeing for the first time vs wrestlers I have watched for a long time.

2) How many matches will you watch before you decide to remove a wrestler from consideration for your list?

[Grimmas]

thanks you all and keep them coming. I'll get to these on the podcast.

[Clayton Jones]

What's surprised you in the first few months in terms of reaction/participation? What areas do you think are off to a good start and what do you hope sees improvement?

[Rah]

I was mostly a lurker on PWO at the time so I might be remembering this wrong, but it seems you're a lot stronger in pushing women's wrestling than you were in the 2016 poll. 

1) What was the turning point for you?

2) What are your expectations for the wrestlers you're championing (most especially) in comparison to your hopes for them in terms of placing in 2026?

[Grimmas]

These are all such amazing questions!! Thanks everyone.

Some may have to go to episode two, time pending. I appreciate it and keep them coming.

How do you view Sasha Banks in comparison to the top historical Joshi candidates?

[Jmare007]

How has the implementation of new outlets like Discord and Twitter worked so far? Have you seen more active discussions about the project outside of PWO and has it been what you expected (considering how early in the process we are)?

[Grimmas]

I answered some of these questions on the first episode! Will answer more on future ones, but keep them coming!

Just wanted to recommend that everyone give this a listen. Interesting discussion on topics and some insight on process of ranking GWE

[NotJayTabb]

Yeah, finally got a spare hour to give it a listen, really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next few

Here's a question,

If a wrestler is a shitty human being in real life, does if effect how you'll rank them?

At the end of GWE16, Dylan said on his podcast that he came away from the project disillusioned because the top 10 were all American-style wrestlers, and wanted to sort of distance himself from the project. So, what does a successful GWE 26 look like in your eyes? Is there something you'd like to see in the top 100 wrestlers that wasn't there last time?
