The dust has settled on a month that redefined “ruthless.” Between the shifting sands of SummerSlam and the tactical maneuvers on Monday Night Raw, the WFC Power Rankings have undergone a seismic shift. While some legends solidified their immortality, others saw their “invincibility” evaporate in the California sun.
Here is the official WFC P4P Top 10 as of August 31, 2001.
[[ THE TOP 10 RANKINGS ]]

[[ THE ANALYSIS: CLIMBERS & CRASHERS ]]
The Elite Stay Elite
Hisoka Morrow (Steady #1) remains the apex predator of the WFC. By capturing both the BMF and Super Heavyweight titles at SummerSlam, he didn’t just maintain his spot; he widened the gap, jumping from a 10.83 to a staggering 12.33. Right behind him, The Rock (Steady #2) continues his march toward perfection, moving to 12-0 after surviving the “Sweet Science” of Oscar De La Hoya.
The Hollywood Jump (+1)
The biggest story in the top five is Hulk Hogan. By defeating Goldberg in their highly anticipated grudge match, Hogan reclaimed his spot in the top three. While the nWo interference sparked controversy, the record books don’t care about “fair”—they care about wins. Hogan’s index jumped a full point to 8.50.
The Fall of the World Warrior (-1)
Ryu slides to #4. Despite a legendary 5-star performance at SummerSlam, the “Last Man Standing” loss to Steve Austin, combined with the post-match damage, has forced a slight dip. He remains the highest-ranked fighter without a belt, but the physical toll of August is visible in his 8.25 index.
Angle’s Momentum (+2)
Kurt Angle is the biggest riser in the middle of the pack. His dominant performance against Faarooq at SummerSlam and his steady consistency have pushed him past a stumbling Goldberg. With a 5.75, Angle is now knocking on the door of the elite tier.
The Cracked Aura (-1)
Goldberg continues a troubling trend. After being the most feared man in the WFC, he has now dropped to #7. The loss to Hogan, combined with Eric Bischoff’s verbal evisceration on Raw, has damaged his “Invincibility” multiplier. He needs a decisive victory in September to stop the bleed.
[[ ROSTER MOVEMENT ]]
-
OUT OF THE TOP 10: The Undertaker.
The Deadman’s loss to Hisoka at SummerSlam was a high-profile setback. While he remains a terrifying force, the sheer volume of wins from the lower half of the bracket (Goku, Kimbo, Solo) pushed him out of the Top 10 for the first time this year.
-
ENTERING THE TOP 10: Technically, Kim-Solo and Kimbo Slice both moved up to claim the #9 and #10 spots respectively, following the vacuum left by the Undertaker’s slide.
[[ THE STAT WATCH: ]]
“Stone Cold” Steve Austin remains at #5 despite becoming the Universal Champion. Why? The P4P index values dominant victories; while Austin’s resilience is historic, his high damage intake in the Ryu war and the 2-star “sprint” against Edge kept his index growth conservative at 7.75. Expect a massive jump if he can defend the gold in a dominant fashion in September.
Can Hogan keep the nWo momentum? Will Goldberg find his rage? The road to September’s “Unforgiven” starts now.

LOL wtf is a Kimbo Slice? 😂 Sounds like a discount anime fighter or something. Why are they letting all these street fighters in the ring? This is supposed to be WRESTLING lol.
OMG DID YOU SEE HISOKA AT SUMMERSLAM?! 🤯 THAT GUY IS UNSTOPPABLE! THE UNDISPUTED BELT IS GONNA BE THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS THING EVER, PRO WRESTLING IS THE GREATEST! LET’S GO!!
Dude, you gotta give props to Kurt Angle! He’s climbing up fast! He’s got mad skills, can’t wait to see him vs Ryu next! 🥋 Get hyped!
Bro, Hulk Hogan only won that match because of nWo interference. If it was a clean fight, he’d be down for the count. Goldberg is still the REAL deal, don’t count him out just yet!
guys chill, it’s wrestling! they all got their strengths, but Hisoka’s just milking that dual-champ hype. Once September rolls around, he’ll fall back down. Mark my words!
yo, who even is Son Goku? like do we have cartoon characters in the ring now or what? LOL. can’t figure this WFC stuff out, too many randoms.
The Rock is STILL undefeated?! Man, this guy’s the best! Gonna ride this wave to the top while Hulk Hogan and his nostalgia trip fades away. LOL nice try nWo! 😂
hisoka this, hisoka that… it’s getting old. Give me more of The Rock and less of this wannabe nonsense. Why can’t we just have proper wrestling back, like back in the day? UGH!
Pfft, you really think Hisoka is that great? The guy’s just a gimmick. Looks flashy but can’t hold a candle to legends like Hogan. The rankings are all over the place, just wait till HOGAN gets his shot again!
