Yo! The WWF “Mafia” just blinked. After weeks of pure unadulterated criticism from fans, legends, and even congressmen, Vince McMahon has officially scrapped the old, buggy P4P system. They realized you can’t have a computer from 1995 trying to calculate the power of a Hadouken or the impact of a Rock Bottom.
[[ THE NEW SHAPE OF THE UNIVERSE: THE GONZAGA PROTOCOL ]]
Enter Neil John Gonzaga, a brilliant Filipino programmer who the WWF secretly flew to Stamford to “fix” the problem. Gonzaga threw out the “Opinion Metric” and introduced a mathematical standard: THE P4P INDEX.
The Gonzaga Protocol calculates:
-
Strength of Schedule (SOS): Who did you beat? Was it a jobber or a champion?
-
Finishing Efficiency (FE): Did you win by DQ, or did you make them quit?
-
Multiverse Coefficient: How your unique style (Boxing, SF, MMA, WWF) translates against other combat types.
[[ THE OFFICIAL NEW WWF PFP RANKINGS ]]
July 19, 2000 – Initial Release
| # | Pic | Superstar | Division | Record | Last 5 | P4P Index |
| 1 | Kimbo Slice | Heavy | 3-0-0 | W W W | 3.75 | |
| 2 | The Rock | Heavy | 3-0-0 | W W W | 2.75 | |
| 3 | Hulk Hogan | Heavy | 2-0-0 | W W | 2.25 | |
| 4 | Shane McMahon | Heavy | 2-0-0 | W W | 2.00 | |
| 5 | Stone Cold | Heavy | 2-0-0 | W W | 2.00 | |
| 6 | Bob Sapp | Super | 2-0-0 | W W | 2.00 | |
| 7 | Rob Van Dam | Lt. Hvy | 2-0-0 | W W | 1.75 | |
| 8 | Prince Naseem | Box | 1-0-0 | W | 1.75 | |
| 9 | Ted DiBiase | Heavy | 2-0-0 | W W | 1.75 | |
| 10 | Rickson Gracie | MMA | 1-0-0 | W | 1.75 |
[[ OLD VS. NEW: WHAT CHANGED? ]]
| OLD RANK | NEW RANK | THE SHIFT |
| #1 Kimbo (8 Score) | #1 Kimbo (3.75 Index) | Kimbo remains #1, but his dominance is “quantified.” 3-0 with 3 KOs is undeniable, even by a modern computer. |
| #2 Prince Naseem (4) | #8 Prince Naseem (1.75) | The Prince took a massive hit. The algorithm says a Featherweight (126lb) win, even a spectacular one, can’t be rated higher than a Heavyweight win in a universal context. |
| #3 Rickson Gracie (4) | #10 Rickson Gracie (1.75) | Same issue as Naseem. MMA efficiency is respected, but the “Gracie” name no longer gives automatic top-tier billing. |
| #4 The Rock (4) | #2 The Rock (2.75) | THE ASCENSION. Rock is 3-0 against tough opponents (like Triple H and Big Show). The SOS factor rocketed him to #2. |
| #5 Ted DiBiase (3) | #9 Ted DiBiase (1.75) | Dropped. Beating local talent doesn’t count as much as the new standard demands. |
| (New Entry) | #3 Hulk Hogan (2.25) | The algorithm respect the 2-0 record and the historical magnitude of his wins (Andre, Savage). |
| (New Entry) | #4 Shane McMahon (2.00) | SHOCKER. SOS score is high because of his “daredevil” style against big stars. Plus, it’s Shane. The algorithm found a way. |
[[ THE MULTIVERSE MELTDOWN: CELEBRITY REACTIONS ]]
I’ve gathered quotes from the biggest names in sports, politics, and the street to see if this new math passes the “Smell Test.”
-
THE ROCK (#2): > “The Rock sees the new list. The Rock sees ‘2.75.’ Finally, the algorithm has come back… to reality! The Great One is 3-0. Kimbo is 3-0. It’s a race to the top. But look at #3… #3 is a legend, but #2 is ‘The People’s Contender.’ Keep calculating, Gonzaga. The math is catching up to the man!”
-
HULK HOGAN (#3): > “Well let me tell you something, programmer John! You got it right, brother! 2-0 is the truth! The 24-inch pythons and Hulkamania are ranked exactly where they belong—at the absolute top of the legends. But watch out, Kimbo… #3 isn’t where Hogan stops!”
-
TRIPLE H (Unranked): > (Irate, reportedly destroying a monitor) > “A recursive loop?! I’M UNRANKED?! Shane is #4 and I’m zero?! This Gonzaga is a fraud! You think your algorithm can factor in a Sledgehammer? You think your index can measure my obsession? If this ‘Mafia’ thinks this list is official, they’re going to find out what ‘Evolution’ really means!”
-
VINCE MCMAHON (Unranked): > “This is progress! The old system was arbitrary, archaic. The new Gonzaga Protocol is scientific, predictable, and fair. As for Shane at #4… well, the numbers don’t lie. He’s a winner! Triple H? He’s currently undergoing a ‘statistical recalibration.'”
-
KEN MASTERS (Unranked): > “I’m not on the list? Fine. The algorithm doesn’t appreciate the flaming Shoryuken. But I’m watching Prince Naseem (#8). He’s the only other guy with the real flair. I’m coming for that spot, purely to look cooler than Ryu on a spreadsheet.”
-
OSCAR DE LA HOYA (Unranked): > “Featherweights are #8? That’s disrespectful. Boxing skill is universal. Naseem should be Top 5. But I’m happy to see the WWF structure finally catching up to the real competitive world.”
-
JOE ROGAN (Analyst): > “Kimbo at #1 is still the absolute correct call. The FE (Finishing Efficiency) metric in the new code confirms it. But Rickson Gracie at #10? That’s going to cause a rift in the jiu-jitsu community. The ‘Gonzaga Protocol’ just declared war on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.”
-
BOY ABUNDA (Philippines Showbiz): > (Leaning in with profound seriousness) > “Ang bagong listahan… ito ay isang ‘Kuwento ng Katotohanan’ (Story of Truth). Proud ako kay Neil John Gonzaga! Isang Pinoy ang nag-ayos ng gulo! Pero tanong ko lang kay Kimbo: Sino ka sa harap ng iyong sariling index? Who are you, when the computer says you are #1?”
-
KRIS AQUINO (Philippines Showbiz): > “Oh my goodness! I was so emotional! A Filipino programmer fixed the list! 😭 I love you, Neil! But wait, look at The Rock (#2)! So charismatic! And Shane… #4?! That is so nakakagulat (surprising)! But I’m so happy the Philippines is leading the world of tech in WWF!”
[[ THE SHOCKERS: THE WILDCARDS REACT ]]
-
THE DALAI LAMA: > (Reportedly shown the list by a traveling monk) > “The list shows human desire for order in chaos. Rankings are temporary illusions. Whether one is #1 or #10, the inner P4P index is the true measure. Also, Kimbo seems to be quite the powerful presence.”
-
KIM JONG IL: > (During the ongoing Inter-Korea Summit) > “The American algorithm places ‘Kimbo’ at the top, but it is incomplete. It lacks a true ‘Kaizen’ of a socialist-trained soldier. I require my heavyweight to be on this list by August. If not, the protocol will be deemed ‘Unfair Sanctions.'”
-
THE GHOST OF ANDRE THE GIANT: > (Channeling through a medium in Stamford) > “I see Hogan at #3. I am gone, but I am still stronger. The index should have me at infinity. I am watching. You are all so small.”

GONZAGA IS THE REAL PFP CHAMPION!! 🖥️ Finally, a system that makes sense. Kimbo vs Rock is the only fight that matters. And Shane McMahon at #4?! That is the greatest troll job in WWF history.

Hogan at #3 is a joke! He’s only had two fights in 2000. SOS (Strength of Schedule) doesn’t mean anything if you aren’t active. Prince Naseem got absolutely robbed by this new code.

Ken Masters wasn’t ranked, but he got the highest “Cool Factor” score (2.5) in the hidden variables. I want to see how Agatom translates into this new index!
User: BeefSlammer69
TRIPLE H LOST IT!! 👊😤 If he’s not on the list, he’s going to make sure nobody is on the list by SummerSlam. This July is going to be the heaviest month ever!
[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: I’m hearing that the “Mafia” is already trying to hack the Gonzaga Protocol to artificially increase the scores of the McMahon family. The programmers are currently in a digital shootout with the Stamford mainframe! ]]

LOL, I CAN’T BELIEVE TRIPLE H IS UNRANKED! 🤣 This LIST IS A JOKE! He’s gonna go full DESPERADO on them!
WAAAAAH! Prince Naseem at #8? That’s a slap in the face! Kinsa mans mga choy na nag-issue ani? 🤬
DID YOU SEE KIMBO AT #1?! THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! WINNING LIKE A TRUE CHAMP! 🔥💯
oi, giunsa na nila pag-compute si Hulk Hogan? 2 wins ra man! Kinsa man sab ni si Gonzaga? Di ko kasabot.
The Rock is looking REAL GOOD! Can’t wait for the matches! This is gonna be the BEST YEAR for wrestling…EVER! #2 IS LEGIT!
Mario’s going to take on these fighters soon, pero I think the REAL action is when Ken and Ryu step into the ring! I hope they REALLY show everyone how it’s done! 😜
Dude, what’s the deal with Naseem being so low? That’s just bogo. Feathers might fly but they’re still boxers, man! THEY SHOULD BE HIGHER. #8? WHAAAAAT!?
bobo na! Hogan’s at #3? Puro nostalgia ra na. Kinsa gani ni Shane sa #4? Tsk tsk, this Gonzaga is full of japhorms!
Is this list for real, or for laughs? Kimbo vs Rock GONNA Break THE INTERNET! 😆💥
