NOVEMBER 2000 P4P RANKINGS

The Microsoft Gonzaga Ratings Software has processed the data from a violent, high-stakes month in the WWF. While the top of the mountain remains gold and red, the tectonic plates of the middle rankings have shifted following the fallout of Survivor Series and the “WarGames” chaos.


[[ THE NOVEMBER POUND-FOR-POUND TOP 11 ]]

10 Ryu 2-0-0 W W 2.50 STEADY
11 Stone Cold 3-0-0 W W W 2.50 STEADY


[[ THE ANALYSIS: WINNERS & LOSERS ]]

THE ASCENSION: HULK HOGAN (RANK #1)

Hogan didn’t just stay at #1; he moved into a different stratosphere. By defeating Kurt Angle and Ted DiBiase in a single night at Survivor Series, Hogan’s P4P Index jumped from a 4.50 to a massive 6.50. He is currently the only “Triple Champion” in sanctioned history, and the software has rewarded his “Activity Multiplier” and “Strength of Schedule” accordingly. He is officially the benchmark for human combat.

THE NEWCOMER: ZANGIEF (RANK #4)

The “Red Cyclone” has made the most explosive debut in the history of the Gonzaga system. Entering at #4, Zangief has leapfrogged legends like Triple H and Undertaker in just three weeks. His demolition of Akebono, John Cena, and The Hurricane gave him the volume, while his dominance in the WarGames proved he could handle elite Super-Heavyweights. He is now the highest-ranked fighter without a major belt.

THE FALL: KURT ANGLE & TED DIBIASE

  • Kurt Angle (#5): The Olympic Gold Medalist drops one spot. While he fought valiantly, a submission specialist losing to a power-puncher (Hogan) in under ten minutes resulted in a significant Index hit.

  • Ted DiBiase (OUT): The “Million Dollar Man” has fallen out of the Top 11 entirely. His loss to Hogan was seen as a tactical failure, and the software penalised him for “avoiding elite competition” by trying to use Angle as a proxy. He has been replaced by the raw momentum of Zangief.

THE STAGNATION: THE BOXING SYNDICATE

Despite being technically “ready,” the Boxing Syndicate’s withdrawal from the WarGames has frozen their rankings. The Rock remains at #2 due to his undefeated record, but his “Inactivity Penalty” will begin to tick in December if he does not finalize a return date.


[[ THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR ]]

  • DROPPED OUT: Ted DiBiase (Previously #7).

  • JUST MISSED: Sagat saw a slight bump after pinning The Big Show, but his “Tired/Slow” performance prevented him from breaking the Top 11.

  • WATCH LIST: Ryu (#10) faces Yokozuna in December. A win there could see him rocket into the Top 5 and displace a struggling Kurt Angle.

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: Zangief is officially a “Tier 1” threat. The software shows that if he secures a win over a Top 3 opponent (Kimbo or The Rock), he will be the mandatory challenger for Hogan’s UWC Gold. ]]

OCTOBER P4P RANKINGS

DATE: October 31, 2000

OFFICIAL RANKING DATA: THE “GONZAGA” RECALIBRATION

The October 29th Extreme Rules event in Denver didn’t just break tables—it broke the P4P rankings. With three weeks until Survivor Series, the hierarchy of combat has shifted. The “old guard” is under siege, and the #2 spot has a new, electrifying owner.


[[ THE OCTOBER P4P TOP 11 ]]

10 7 Ryu 2-0-0 W W 2.50 -3 Fall
11 8 Stone Cold 3-0-0 W W L 2.50 -3 Fall

[[ THE ANALYSIS: WINNERS & LOSERS ]]

THE METEORIC RISES

  • The Rock (#2): By defeating the previously undefeated Kimbo Slice, The Rock leaped over both Kimbo and Kurt Angle. His “Strength of Schedule” multiplier is now the highest in the WWF. He is no longer just a “popular” fighter; the Microsoft simulator now ranks his athleticism as the ultimate counter to raw power.

  • Bob Sapp (#5): The “Beast” pulled off the jump of the year, soaring from #11 to #5. Taking out the 500lb Big Show on short notice proved that his “flash” power is a legitimate threat to any heavyweight on the planet.

  • Triple H (#6): The Game re-enters the top 10 List after dropping out last month. His “long and hard-fought” victory over Vince McMahon showed a level of cardio and tactical patience that the Gonzaga Protocol finally recognized as elite.

THE CRITICAL DROPS

  • Kimbo Slice (#3): The “Street King” took his first loss, and the rankings were’t kind. While he proved he can hang with the Top 5, losing his “0” dropped his index significantly. Analysts are now questioning if he can beat anyone with elite “length” and wrestling.

  • Ted DiBiase (#7): DiBiase didn’t lose, but he stayed still while the world moved. His “safety-first” strategy and lack of high-profile October fights resulted in him being leapfrogged by more active warriors like Sapp and Hunter.

  • Stone Cold Steve Austin (#11): The Rattlesnake is in the danger zone. With the Undertaker re-entering the Top 10 after his 2-minute demolition of Mankind, Austin has slipped to the #11 spot. He is officially the lowest-ranked “Elite” wrestler heading into November.


[[ THE “GONZAGA” FINAL WORD ]]

“The disparity between #1 and #2 is now the thinnest in history. Hogan at 4.50 and Rock at 4.25 means that if Hogan falters even slightly in his Survivor Series double-header, The Rock will likely become the #1 P4P fighter in the world by December.”


[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: Look at #10 and #11. Ryu and Stone Cold are tied on points. If Austin wants back into the Top 10, he’s going to have to do something “extreme” in the WarGames cage. ]]

September 2000 WWF Pound per Pound Rankings: HOGAN ASCENDS TO #1 AS THE STREET KING SLIPS

The “Gonzaga Protocol” has processed the fallout from Clash at the Castle, and the seismic shifts in the Pound-for-Pound (P4P) rankings have left the combat sports world in a state of shock. For the first time since the inception of the modern WWF era, the “Street King” has been dethroned from the top spot without losing a fight.

Here is the official breakdown of the elite dozen as we head into the month of “Extreme Rules.”


[[ THE SEPTEMBER P4P TOP 12 ]]

Rank Superstar Record P4P Index Movement
1 Hulk Hogan 4-0-0 4.50 +1 (Rise)
2 Kimbo Slice 4-0-0 4.25 -1 (Fall)
3 Kurt Angle 4-1-0 3.50 Steady
4 The Rock 4-0-0 3.25 Steady
5 Ted DiBiase 3-0-0 2.75 Steady
6 Rickson Gracie 2-0-0 2.75 Steady
7 Ryu 2-0-0 2.50 NEW
8 Stone Cold 3-0-0 2.50 -1 (Fall)
9 Prince Naseem 2-1-0 2.25 NEW
10 Butterbean 4-1-0 2.00 NEW
11 Bob Sapp 2-0-0 2.00 -2 (Fall)
12 Shane McMahon 2-0-0 2.00 -3 (Fall)

[[ THE ANALYSIS: JUMPS, FALLS, & THE PURE DATA ]]

THE RISE OF THE ICON (#1: Hulk Hogan)

Hogan’s jump from #2 in August to the #1 spot is a matter of “Strength of Schedule.” While Kimbo was dismantling a smaller, unranked Eagle, Hogan was in Glasgow taking down Bruno Sammartino—a man who held a world title for 11 straight years. The algorithm heavily weights “Legend Status” victories. Hogan’s 4.50 index is the highest ever recorded, proving that at 36, the “Hulkster” is in a terrifying physical prime.

THE KIMBO SLIDE (#2: Kimbo Slice)

Kimbo didn’t lose his fight, but he lost his “Value.” By declining the Hogan fight due to purse size and choosing to face Eagle, Kimbo was penalized by the Gonzaga Protocol for “Risk Avoidance.” Despite his 4-0 record, his P4P index of 4.25 reflects a stagnation in competition quality compared to Hogan’s legendary run.

THE WANDERER’S DEBUT (#7: Ryu)

The biggest story of the month is Ryu. Entering the rankings for the first time at #7, Ryu’s upset victory over the 260lb British Bulldog in Scotland sent his stock soaring. Analysts were impressed not just by the win, but by his “technical efficiency” against a much larger opponent—the very definition of Pound-for-Pound excellence.

THE BOXING RECOVERY (#9 & #10: Naseem & Butterbean)

Prince Naseem Hamed re-enters the list at #9 after his lopsided TKO win over Royce Gracie. His takedown defense silenced critics and proved he can handle “BMF Rules.” Meanwhile, Butterbean joins the tie at #10 after his brutal revenge win over Birdie. Bean’s 4-1 record is the most active in the WWF, earning him the “Workhorse” multiplier.

THE STEADY SLIP: Stone Cold, Shane, & Sapp

  • Stone Cold Steve Austin (#8): Fell one spot simply due to inactivity in September. While he remains a threat, the “Ryu Surge” pushed him down.

  • Shane McMahon (#12) & Bob Sapp (#11): Both fell due to the influx of “High-Level Specialists” (Naseem/Ryu/Butterbean). While undefeated, their lack of a “Top 10” win is starting to hurt their index as the roster gets deeper.


[[ SEPTEMBER STATS AT A GLANCE ]]

  • Biggest Jump: Hulk Hogan (+1 to #1) / Ryu (Unranked to #7).

  • Hardest Fall: Shane McMahon (-3 spots) and Kimbo Slice (Losing the #1 Throne).

  • Gone from List: Triple H (Dropped out of the Top 10 due to his focus on the McMahon family drama rather than ranked matches).


[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: With Hogan at #1 and Kimbo at #2, the tension for a Unification Match is at an all-time high. If The Rock beats Kimbo in October, the P4P list will look like a disaster zone by November! ]]

AUGUST Pound per Pound Rankings : HOGAN SOARS, THE GRACIE RETURNS, AND THE KIMBO CONTROVERSY BOILS OVER!

The dust has settled in Las Vegas, and the Gonzaga Protocol has finished its most grueling data crunch to date. The post-SummerSlam Power Rankings are officially live, and they tell a story of a promotion in a state of absolute seismic shift. From the resurrection of a Brazilian legend to the “Immortal” one reclaiming his throne, the August Top 10 is a battlefield.


[[ THE OFFICIAL AUGUST POUND-FOR-POUND TOP 10 ]]

Rank Superstar Record Last 5 P4P Index Status
1 Kimbo Slice 3-0-0 W W W 3.75 Steady
2 Hulk Hogan 3-0-0 W W W 3.50 +2 Rise
3 Kurt Angle 4-1-0 W W L W W 3.50 Steady
4 The Rock 4-0-0 W W W W 3.25 -2 Fall
5 Ted DiBiase 3-0-0 W W W 2.75 +5 Jump
6 Rickson Gracie 2-0-0 W W 2.75 NEW (Re-entry)
7 Stone Cold 3-0-0 W W L 2.50 -1 Fall
8 Shane McMahon 2-0-0 W W 2.00 -3 Fall
9 Bob Sapp 2-0-0 W W 2.00 -2 Fall
10 Triple H 3-1-0 W L W W 1.75 NEW

[[ THE HEADLINES: HOGAN’S MILLENNIUM MANIA ]]

The headline of the month is Hulk Hogan. By winning the Millennium Intercontinental Tournament at SummerSlam and ending Andre the Giant’s 15-year streak, Hogan has surged to #2. He is now breathing down the neck of the #1 spot.

However, the “Great One” has felt the sting of the algorithm. The Rock slides from #2 to #4. Despite winning his tag team match alongside Stone Cold, the Protocol penalized the lack of “solo dominance” compared to the singles achievements of Hogan and Angle. Meanwhile, Triple H finally breaks into the elite ten, proving that his recent 3-1 run is too consistent to ignore.

[[ THE REDEMPTION OF THE GRACIE ]]

After being unceremoniously dumped from the July list, Rickson Gracie has made a thunderous re-entry at #6. His clinical submission of Prince Naseem Hamed reminded the computers—and the fans—that jiu-jitsu remains a primary pillar of the Gonzaga era. On the flip side, Bob Sapp (#9) and Shane McMahon (#8) have both seen significant drops due to a lack of recent activity. In this league, if you aren’t bleeding, you’re sliding.


[[ THE CONTROVERSY: IS KIMBO SLICE “CHERRY-PICKING”? ]]

Despite his #1 ranking, Kimbo Slice is facing a firestorm of criticism from analysts like Larry Merchant and Teddy Atlas. The accusation? “Strategic Matchmaking.”

While Kimbo’s 3-0 record looks impressive, critics point out that his wins come against Zulu Jr. and Hang Man Choi—both of whom have been ejected from the WWF for a year after winless streaks. Critics argue that Kimbo is feasting on “Super Heavyweights” who lack modern technical skill.

THE P4P PARADOX:

It is important to remember what P4P means: Who is the best if weight were equalized? While 99.9% of analysts agree Andre the Giant would demolish Kimbo in a real-world fight due to his massive weight advantage, the Protocol believes that pound-for-pound, Kimbo’s raw explosive power and striking efficiency would dominate any man of his own size.


[[ THE THREAD: THE FANS REACT ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

DIBIASE AT #5?! 💰 Money talks! He’s the #1 contender for Hogan’s US Title now. That match is going to be a statistical masterpiece. DiBiase is the most underrated fighter on this list!

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    Forget DiBiase, look at Kurt Angle. 4-1-0 and sitting at #3. He’s the only one with 5 fights on the record. He’s the real workhorse of the WWF. 🥇

User: HadoukenKid

The Kimbo hate is real. But honestly, who else is 3-0 with that kind of KO power? Zulu Jr. might be out now, but Kimbo is the one who put the nail in the coffin!

User: BeefSlammer69

RICKSON IS BACK! 🥋 SummerSlam proved you can’t keep a Gracie down. Prince Naseem found out the hard way. August belongs to the ground-and-pound!


[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: The “Hogan vs. DiBiase” US Title match is going to be the deciding factor for the September #1 spot. If Hogan takes that belt, Kimbo’s reign at the top might finally end. ]]

WWF JULY Pound per Pound: KIMBO STILL AT #1, ANGLE CLIMBS, AND GRACIE OUT

The WWF has officially released the July Pound-for-Pound (P4P) Rankings, and the hierarchy of combat has been flipped on its head. In a month defined by “High-Level Problem Solving” and brute force, the index has rewarded activity and efficiency over legendary reputations.

Here is the breakdown of the elite ten who now rule the WWF landscape.


[[ THE WWF JULY P4P TOP 10 ]]

Rank Superstar Record Last 5 P4P Index Status
1 Kimbo Slice 3-0-0 W W W 3.75 Steady
2 The Rock 3-0-0 W W W 2.75 Steady
3 Kurt Angle 3-1-0 W W L W 2.50 +1 Rise
4 Hulk Hogan 2-0-0 W W 2.25 -1 Fall
5 Shane McMahon 2-0-0 W W 2.00 -1 Fall
6 Stone Cold 2-0-0 W W 2.00 -1 Fall
7 Bob Sapp 2-0-0 W W 2.00 -1 Fall
8 Rob Van Dam 2-0-0 W W 1.75 -1 Fall
9 Prince Naseem Hamed 1-0-0 W 1.75 -1 Fall
10 Ted DiBiase 2-0-0 W W 1.75 -1 Fall

[[ THE ANALYSIS: ANGLE’S ASCENSION & HOGAN’S SLIDE ]]

The biggest story of the month is the meteoric rise of Kurt Angle. Despite a loss on his record, his high-volume activity and technical dominance over elite competition have propelled him to the #3 spot, officially bumping Hulk Hogan down to #4.

The algorithm clearly favors Angle’s “Olympic Grind” over Hogan’s “Legendary Stasis.” While Hogan remains undefeated at 2-0, his lack of recent cage time compared to Angle’s four-fight tear has cost him the bronze position. In the WWF of 2026, you can’t just be an icon—you have to be a worker.


[[ THE SHOCKER: THE GRACIE EXODUS ]]

Perhaps the most controversial move in the July update is the removal of Rickson Gracie from the Top 10. Once considered the “Invisible God” of the rankings, Rickson’s inactivity and the sudden surge of multi-discipline winners like Bob Sapp and Prince Naseem Hamed have pushed the Brazilian legend into the “Honorable Mentions.”

The message from the WWF is clear: If you aren’t fighting, you aren’t relevant. With a 1.75 score, Ted DiBiase sneaks into the #10 spot, proving that “Million Dollar” wins count just as much as jiu-jitsu masterpieces.


[[ THE “KIMBO” GAP ]]

At the summit, Kimbo Slice remains untouched. With a 3.75 index score, he sits a full point above The Rock. His raw, backyard-to-big-stage brutality has created a “Kimbo Gap” that the rest of the roster is struggling to close. As we head toward SummerSlam, Slice isn’t just a fighter; he’s a statistical anomaly.


[[ THE THREAD: THE FANS WEIGH IN ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

HOGAN AT #4?! 😤 This is a joke. Hogan has the USA belt and two decades of dominance. How does a guy with a ‘Loss’ (Angle) jump him? The Gonzaga Protocol is biased against the legends!

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    It’s about activity, brother. Angle is out there every week breaking ankles. Hogan is 58 and pickier than a cat with its food. Angle earned that #3 spot with blood. 🥇

User: HadoukenKid

Bob Sapp at #7 is terrifying. 🦾 2-0 with a 2.00 score? If “The Beast” keeps this up, he’s going to be challenging Kimbo by October. Imagine the impact force of those two colliding!

User: BeefSlammer69

RICKSON IS OUT?! 👊😤 This is a disrespect to the history of the sport. You can’t have a P4P list without a Gracie. Prince Naseem is #9 with only ONE fight? That’s pure hype.

THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN! FAN-VOTED POUND-FOR-POUND TOP 10

Yo! We just shut down the servers after a 48-hour voting frenzy. The “Gonzaga Protocol” was great for the math geeks, but the fans in the streets—from the internet cafes in Davao to the bars in Chicago—wanted their say.

This isn’t about “Finishing Efficiency” or “Last 5 Records.” This is about Aura, Impact, and who the fans believe is truly the Baddest Man on the Planet. We received over 50,000 votes, and the results are a total middle finger to the official Stamford office!


[[ THE 2000 “VOX POPULI” P4P RANKINGS ]]

Voted by the Fans – July 2000 Edition

Rank Superstar % of Vote Fan Sentiment
1 THE ROCK 32% “The People’s Champ is the only #1. Period.”
2 STONE COLD 28% “He’s coming back for his spot. DTA.”
3 KIMBO SLICE 15% “The scariest man alive. No bells, just fists.”
4 THE UNDERTAKER 10% “The American Badass is pure intimidation.”
5 RYU 5% “The Iron Man of the Rumble. Respect.”
6 KURT ANGLE 4% “Best technical wrestler, even if he’s a dork.”

9 CHUCK NORRIS 1% “He shouldn’t be on a list, he is the list.”
10 TRIPLE H 1% “We hate him, but he’s still the Game.”

[[ ANALYSIS: THE FANS VS. THE ALGORITHM ]]

  • THE ROCK RECLAIMS THE THRONE: While Neil’s code had Kimbo Slice at #1 due to his 3-0 record, the fans don’t care about “efficiency.” They want charisma. The Rock jumped from #2 (Index) to #1 (Fans) because, as one voter put it: “You can’t calculate the People’s Elbow.”

  • THE STONE COLD SURGE: Despite being unranked in many “math-based” lists due to his injury time, the fans voted Steve Austin straight to #2. The “Glass Shatters” factor is stronger than any C++ code.

  • THE “AGATOM” EFFECT: The biggest shock? Agatom made the Top 10! The underground hasn’t forgotten his performance in the Rumble. He beat out legends like Hogan and DiBiase in the popular vote.

  • THE TRIPLE H DISRESPECT: The fans are brutal. Triple H, the man who runs the show, barely scraped into #10 with only 1% of the vote. The “Cerebral Assassin” is officially the most hated man in the multiverse.


[[ THE UNDERGROUND REACTION FEED ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

Finally! A list that makes sense! The Rock at #1 is the only way this ends. I don’t care what a computer says, if you put Rock and Kimbo in a ring, the electricity carries the Great One to the win! 🤨⚡

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    Stone Cold at #2 even while he’s still recovering? That shows you how much we miss the Rattlesnake. And Agatom at #8?! 🇵🇭 The Pinoy Pride is real! Let’s see him take that momentum into the Money in the Bank!

User: HadoukenKid

Ryu at #5 is huge. People are starting to realize that the Street Fighters aren’t just “video game characters”—they are elite athletes. Ryu vs. Angle is the technical dream match we need.

User: BeefSlammer69

TRIPLE H AT #10!! 👊😤 Hahaha! The Game is going to be so mad when he sees he’s behind a kid from the Philippines and a guy in a karate gi. Keep voting, people! Let’s push him to #11!

WWF RELEASES NEW POUND-FOR-POUND RANKINGS! CHAOS ENSUES!

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:

  1. Strength of Schedule (SOS): Who did you beat? Was it a jobber or a champion?

  2. Finishing Efficiency (FE): Did you win by DQ, or did you make them quit?

  3. Multiverse Coefficient: How your unique style (Boxing, SF, MMA, WWF) translates against other combat types.


[[ THE OFFICIAL NEW WWF PFP RANKINGS ]]

[[ 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 ]]

  1. 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.”

  2. 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.'”

  3. 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! ]]

GLOBAL SHOCKWAVES: THE POPE, KINGS, AND KAIZENS REACT TO THE RANKINGS

Yo! If you thought the Hollywood reaction was wild, wait until you see the diplomatic cables. The July 1st rankings have officially crossed the line from “sports news” to “international incident.” From the Vatican to the Blue House in Korea, everyone is debating the PFP scores.

I’ve gathered 10 more reactions from our home turf in the Philippines, plus some heavy-hitters from the global stage who usually don’t talk shop about pro-wrestling.


[[ THE PINAS PRIDE: 10 MORE FILIPINO REACTIONS ]]

  1. FERNANDO POE JR. (FPJ): > “Agatom showed true ‘Panday’ spirit in Japan. It’s not about how many times you fall, but how you get back up. But Kimbo at #1? Sa pelikula, ang bida ay nahuhuli, pero sa ring, kailangang patunayan ni Kimbo na hindi lang siya puro porma.”

  2. DOLPHY: > “Nakita ko yung listahan, tawa ako nang tawa! Bakit wala ako doon? Super Heavyweight din naman ako… sa pagkain! Pero seryoso, proud tayo kay Agatom. Maliit man, nakapuwing din!”

  3. ROBIN PADILLA: > “Utol, yung pagkapanalo ni Agatom, para sa masa ‘yan! ‘Yan ang tunay na astig. Pero yung rankings? Parang kulang sa anghang. Kailangan natin ng mas maraming Pinoy sa Top 10 para magka-alaman na!”

  4. SHARON CUNETA: > “I was so emotional seeing Agatom’s win! 😭 It’s like a Megastar moment! But the rankings… I think they’re a bit too focused on the ‘bad boys.’ We need more heart!”

  5. GARY VALENCIANO: > “Pure Energy! That’s what Agatom brought to Japan. I’m just wondering how the PFP score is calculated—it’s like a complex rhythm that hasn’t quite found its beat yet.”

  6. AGA MUHLACH: > “I’m just happy to see the Philippines on the global map. Agatom is our ‘Bagets’ in the WWF! But Kimbo at #1? That’s a ‘Miracle’ score if I’ve ever seen one.”

  7. REGINA VELASQUEZ: > “The High Flyer Agatom reached notes—I mean heights—no one expected! 🎤 The rankings are a bit scary, though. So much aggression!”

  8. VIC SOTTO (Enteng Kabisote): > “Ok ka, fairy ko! Agatom is like a magic spell in the ring. But the PFP scores? Parang ‘Eat Bulaga’—masaya pero nakakalito kung sino talaga ang nanalo!”

  9. VILMA SANTOS: > “I am a fan of the effort! Agatom, you are a Star! 🌟 But to the Mafia: make sure the rankings are fair to the small guys, hindi lang sa malalaki!”

  10. ERAP ESTRADA (Updated): > “I already said Agatom is a hero! But tell Vince McMahon—if he needs a referee for the next ‘Titan Clash,’ the President of the Philippines is ready to keep order!”


[[ THE GLOBAL POWERS: BEYOND SHOWBIZ ]]

  • QUEEN ELIZABETH II (Source: Leaked Palace Memo): > “Her Majesty finds the inclusion of ‘Prince’ Naseem at #2 rather… curious. While the Crown does not officially endorse combat sports, there is a certain fascination with the technical prowess of the Gracie family. However, the term ‘Mafia’ being used for an athletic commission is deemed ‘unsettling’.”

  • POPE JOHN PAUL II (During a Great Jubilee Address): > “In this year of the Jubilee, we pray for peace. While the world focuses on ‘Pound for Pound’ rankings and the strength of the fist, let us remember the strength of the spirit. May these ‘World Warriors’ find common ground in sport rather than conflict.”

  • KIM JONG IL: > (Reportedly watched the highlights during the North-South Summit) > “The American ‘Kimbo’ has a powerful image, but he lacks the state-sponsored discipline of a true soldier. I see Agatom’s win in Japan—it proves that even the smallest can overcome if they are directed by a strong will. I want a North Korean heavyweight on that list by August.”

  • BILL GATES (Microsoft): > “The scoring algorithm for the PFP rankings is fascinating. It’s a predictive model based on high-frequency finishing data. Kimbo’s 8.0 score is an outlier, but from a data perspective, it’s logically sound given his 100% KO rate. I’d love to see the source code for that ranking system.”

  • NELSON MANDELA: > “Sport has the power to change the world. Seeing a 116-pound Filipino find success on the same list as a 400-pound American is a testament to the diversity of the human spirit. The rankings are early, yes, but hope is never premature.”

  • THE DALAI LAMA: > “The Rock speaks of ‘smelling what he is cooking.’ We should focus more on the ‘cooking’ of the inner self. Rankings are merely illusions of the ego. Whether one is #1 or #10, we all breathe the same air.”


[[ THE THREAD: WORLD-CLASS CHAOS ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

KIM JONG IL WANTS A HEAVYWEIGHT?! 🇰🇵 That is the most 2000 thing I’ve ever heard. Imagine a North Korean vs. Kimbo Slice. The PFP scores would break the internet (if it was faster).

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    Did you see FPJ’s reaction? 🎬 “Ang bida ay nahuhuli.” He knows! The Rock and Austin are the heroes who get beat up for 20 minutes before winning. Kimbo is just a villain winning too fast.

User: HadoukenKid

Bill Gates analyzing the PFP algorithm? 💻 Maybe he can fix the glitch that has Ryu and Ken so low! If they want “Performance Data,” wait until the next Street Fighter match.


[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: I’m hearing that the “Mafia” is actually considering Bill Gates’ offer to help refine the PFP algorithm. We might see a “Microsoft Power Ranking” update by SummerSlam! ]]

CELEBRITIES REACTS TO THE NEW WWF Pound per Pound Rankings: RANKING REACTION PART II

Yo! The forum server nearly crashed today. While the Top 10 lists are out, the biggest noise is coming from the people who weren’t on it. If you haven’t stepped into a WWF ring yet, you don’t get a score—and some of the baddest men on the planet are taking that as a personal insult.

I’ve spent the last 20 hours tracking down the “Unranked” and some of the biggest stars of the Y2K era to see what the “Casuals” think of the Mafia’s new math.


[[ THE UNRANKED TITANS: THE BIG THREE ]]

  • BILL GOLDBERG: > “You want to talk about rankings? You want to talk about ‘PFP scores’? I don’t need a spreadsheet to tell me I’m the baddest man in this industry. The only reason I’m not #1 is because I haven’t walked through that smoke yet. Vince, you keep your little list. Keep Kimbo at the top. But when Goldberg arrives, there won’t be a Top 10—there will just be me and a pile of bodies. WHO’S NEXT?!

  • CHUCK NORRIS (Age 48): > (Calmly sipping tea in a dojo) “It’s interesting to see how the ‘Mafia’ values street fighting over discipline. I’ve seen the list. I’ve seen the scores. But rankings are like shadows—they look big until the sun goes down. I don’t need a WWF fight to know where I stand. If they want a real master on that list, they know my number. But be careful what you wish for.”

  • JACKIE CHAN (Age 39): > (Laughing while hanging off a scaffolding) “I see the rankings! Very exciting! Agatom is so fast, very good for the Philippines! 🇵🇭 But they say I am not on the list because I have no fight? I fight every day on camera! Maybe I come to the WWF and show them that you don’t need a heavy hook if you can use a ladder and a chair better than anyone else. No stunts, just Jackie!”


[[ SURPRISE! THE CELEBRITY “CASUAL” REACTIONS ]]

I polled the biggest names in Hollywood, Music, and Sports to see if they’re buying the hype.

  1. FRED DURST (Limp Bizkit): “Yo, the list is significant! Kimbo at #1? That’s the energy we need for 2000. It’s raw, it’s red-cap music. We’re actually talking about having Kimbo in our next video. Rankings are dope, keep it rolling!”

  2. BRITNEY SPEARS: “Oh my goodness, I saw the list! I’m a huge fan of The Rock—he’s so charismatic! ⚡️ But I feel bad for the people who didn’t make it yet. It’s like the charts; you have to work hard to get to #1!”

  3. EMINEM: “Kimbo Slice? The guy from the internet? Look, if the WWF wants a real villain, they should rank Slim Shady. I’ve got a better reach with my words than Butterbean has with his fists. The list is a joke until I’m on it.”

  4. SHAQUILLE O’NEAL: “I just won the Finals MVP and the Championship. 🏆 I know what #1 looks like. Kimbo is doing his thing, but if they want a real Super Heavyweight, they need to look at ‘The Big Aristotle.’ I’ll dunk on that whole Top 10.”

  5. TOM CRUISE: “I’ve seen the training these guys do—it’s intense. 🕶️ I respect the PFP model. It’s like a Mission Impossible: you either perform or you’re out. I’m watching RVD closely; that guy has movie-star agility.”

  6. JENNIFER LOPEZ: “The fashion in the WWF right now? Iconic. 👗 But the rankings… I think Prince Naseem is too low! He has the style and the record. He should be #1!”

  7. ADAM SANDLER: “I saw the list and I called my buddy Rob Schneider. We’re thinking about starting our own ranking for ‘Best Waterboys.’ But seriously, Butterbean? That guy looks like he gives great hugs… right before he kills you.”

  8. LEONARDO DICAPRIO: “It’s fascinating to see the cultural shift toward this ‘Unfiltered’ combat. 🏖️ I’m a fan of the underdog stories, so seeing Agatom get a win in Japan was the highlight for me.”

  9. WILL SMITH: “July 2000 is looking hot! 🔥 Kimbo is the Fresh Prince of the Streets! I love the energy, but I’m waiting for Bill Goldberg to show up and flip the whole script.”

  10. TIGER WOODS: “Performance under pressure—that’s all that matters. ⛳ The PFP score of 8 for Kimbo is a strong start, but like a Sunday at the Masters, it’s about how you finish the season, not how you start it.”


[[ THE THREAD: THE “UNRANKED” UPRISING ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

GOLDBERG VS KIMBO!! 👊 Imagine the PFP score if Goldberg wins his debut. The “Mafia” wouldn’t know what to do. And Chuck Norris? The guy is 48 and still looks like he could take out the whole Light Heavyweight division.

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    Did you hear Eminem?! 🎤 Slim Shady in the WWF would be the most chaotic thing ever. He’d probably manage X-Pac just to mess with Triple H.

User: HadoukenKid

Jackie Chan using the ring environment would be legendary. 🪜 He wouldn’t even need a finisher, he’d just trip you with a cameraman’s cable. WWF 2000 is getting way too big for just one list!

User: BeefSlammer69

SHAQ IN THE SUPER HEAVYWEIGHTS!! 🏀💥 Imagine Shaq vs Andre the Giant. The ring would literally collapse. I don’t care about the scores, I want the carnage! 👊😤


[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: I’m hearing that Goldberg was spotted at a private airport heading toward Dallas. If he shows up at the “Titan Clash” on July 23rd, these rankings are going to be obsolete by midnight! ]]

RANKING REACTION LEAK: FROM THE OVAL OFFICE TO THE LOCKER ROOM

Yo! The July 1st rankings dropped like a pipe bomb, and the fallout is reaching way beyond the squared circle. I’ve been monitors the feeds, “wiretapping” the back offices, and catching quotes from the biggest names in the world.

Some are calling the PFP scoring a revolution; others are calling it a “mafia hit” on their legacies. Here is how the icons reacted to the first official WWF-Universe standings.


[[ THE POWER PLAYERS: THE FRONT OFFICE & THE LOCKER ROOM ]]

  • TRIPLE H: > “A PFP score of 8 for a backyard brawler? You’ve got to be kidding me. Kimbo Slice hasn’t even stepped in the ring with a ‘Cerebral Assassin’ yet. These rankings aren’t a measure of skill; they’re a measure of hype. While The Rock is busy celebrating his #4 spot like he won a Grammy, I’m in the gym preparing to dismantle the system. You want to see a real PFP leader? Watch what I do to X-Pac. Then we’ll see who’s ‘electrifying’ and who’s just… irrelevant.”

  • VINCE MCMAHON: > “Look at those numbers! Kimbo Slice at #1… Prince Naseem at #2… it’s exactly what I envisioned! A global melting pot of carnage! People are questioning the ‘early season’ scoring? Ha! In the WWF, every second is a season. If you aren’t on the board now, you’re already a dinosaur. This is sports entertainment’s evolution, and if the ‘old guard’ doesn’t like it, they can find a new museum to rot in!”

  • KURT ANGLE: > “I’m an Olympic Gold Medalist! I won with a broken freakin’ neck! How am I ranked #7 in Light Heavyweight behind a guy named ‘RVD’ who does flips for a living? And Kimbo Slice is #1 PFP? Has he ever wrestled in the amateurs? Has he ever represented his country? This list is a travesty of the Three I’s: Intensity, Integrity, and Intelligence. I’m going to personally suplex every person on this list until I’m #1. It’s true… it’s damn true!”


[[ THE LEGENDS: BOXING, BASKETBALL, & THE “GOLDEN ERA” ]]

  • MIKE TYSON: > “I see the list. Kimbo’s a tough kid, he’s got that hunger. But PFP #1? You can’t crown a king before he’s bled in a championship round. And Butterbean at #6? He’s a wrecking ball, but he’s fighting ghosts. I want to see these guys under my lights. Until then, these rankings are just paper. When ‘Iron Mike’ steps in, the only ranking that matters is who’s still awake when the bell rings.”

  • MICHAEL JORDAN: > “I saw the report. #4 for The Rock? 3-0? That’s cute. In Chicago, 3-0 is just the first quarter. I don’t care about ‘PFP Scores.’ I care about who’s holding the trophy at the end. I took it personally that they didn’t even mention ‘The Goat’ in the crossover discussions. If the WWF wants a real #1, they know where to find me. Until then, stay out of my way.”

  • HULK HOGAN: > “Well let me tell you something, Brother! I’m #4 in the Super Heavyweights and #8 in the Heavyweights? The Hulkster is a global icon! I’ve slammed giants and ruled the world while Kimbo was still in diapers! The PFP score is a joke, dude. The power of Hulkamania doesn’t fit on a spreadsheet. But hey, if the fans want to see the ‘Real #1’ take that Super Heavyweight spot from Butterbean… then Watcha Gonna Do?!”

  • BRUNO SAMMARTINO: > “In my day, you didn’t need a ‘score’ to know who the champion was. You defended the title for years, not weeks. This WWF is a circus. Seeing these ‘street fighters’ ranked above men who spent decades in the trenches is an insult to the history of this business. Vince can keep his rankings; I’ll keep my dignity.”


[[ THE PHILIPPINE CONNECTION & THE OVAL OFFICE ]]

  • BILL CLINTON: > “I’ve looked at the data, and it’s certainly an ambitious statistical model. Seeing a 116-pounder like Agatom represent the Philippines with such heart… that’s the kind of international cooperation we like to see. As for the PFP scores being ‘early,’ well, sometimes the first hundred days tell you everything you need to know about a term.”

  • JOSEPH ESTRADA (Erap): > “Agatom is a true Filipino hero! Small but terrible! 🇵🇭 He recovered in Japan like a true ‘Action Star.’ As for the rankings… as long as our boy is winning, the math is correct! We don’t care about the Super Heavyweights—we have the heart of a lion!”

  • KRIS AQUINO: > “Oh my gosh, Agatom! It’s so nakaka-proud! ❤️ Did you see how he beat ‘Changed Man’? It was like a movie! But Kimbo Slice at #1? Is he even cute? I think the scoring is a bit ‘over-acting,’ but as long as we have a Filipino in the top ranks, I’m here for the drama! Love, love, love!”


[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: The “PFP Scoring” is based on Strength of Schedule and Finish Rate. Kimbo is #1 because he finishes fights in seconds. If the wrestlers want to move up, they need to stop going to 20-minute draws and start knocking people out! ]]
