Ryback Talks Kenny Omega Being Ranked No. 1 On The PWI 500 List

On a recent episode of his Conversation With The Big Guy (via Wrestling Inc), Ryback spoke about Kenny Omega topping this year’s annual PWI 500 list and who should always be at the top…

“Honestly, it’s just a person or a group of people’s opinion [on the list] and that’s fine. 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. 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. But again, I don’t know all the factors that go into it, but congratulations to Kenny Omega. I have never met him I don’t believe, but everyone that I know has known him and says nothing but good things to say about him. He has had many good matches, so you can’t argue in that standpoint, but I just think that from the schedule standpoint WWE guys have it a little bit harder.”
