The 100...okay...114 Greatest Wrestlers of All Time

Every one year title reign.

Okay - so I took the previous lists of each title match in Counterfactual history, added as much of the real world as I could manage, generated a scoring system that heavily weighs upon numbers of and lengths of title reigns, and out it spit a list of the greatest wrestlers ever (not a subjective evaluation, not my saying "X was better than Y" just math)  Note, it's not a real world list; I understand about El Santo.  I'm privileging championships won in a curated set of promotions with a heavy weight to WWF, given that it's the protaganist.

Within the world of the Counterfactual, this is a big deal for the WWE Network; it's released ten names at a time over ten weeks, much in the same way the NFL Network has their Top 100 players show each season.  Video, interviews, commentary, arguments.  And these numbers are part of the canon, announcers will talk about wrestlers as if these ratings have real meaning.

Here's the 14 who just missed the top 100.
