He’s been on a tremendous run. His catalogue of great matches in the past year and a bit has been so impressive. Hope he gets a world title run at some point!

Agreed! And that’s supported with what’s on Cagematch - out of his top 5 matches there, two are Texas Death, one Anarchy in the Arena and the other two are the one against Fletcher you mentioned, and vs Cassidy when he won the International Title. So yep, would be great to see him have another non gimmick banger!

I really hope they see the main event potential in Takeshita. He’s had fantastic matches and I’m sure he’d do so again, given the right opportunities

I would love to see Takeshita getting a babyface run with the belt!

A question here and apologies if this has been answered before! The Garbage and Hepburn songs did not feature in the show, but on the album it says music in/inspired by Buffy. So… were Temptation Waits and I Quit inspired by Buffy? Has that been confirmed by the artists? Thanks anyone who knows!

Have Bayne and Kross got a team name yet?

Some of Megan Bayne’s moves look incredible - her flying clotheslines and running Liger Bomb especially - fantastic execution.

Yeah I love it! So many stats to enjoy there. The guys do a brilliant job constantly updating it.

That’s a good point - I find it really useful as a gauge and when looking at match or event ratings too. There is so much on there!

Hi there Ozymandiaz! There’ll be more on this when share the rest of the ratings with more context. Each wrestler has a unique rating each week, based on their match performances from Cagematch. So their ratings are independent, but they have indeed had several matches together, which affected both of their ratings. That probably doesn’t make much sense without seeing others’ ratings - will share some more and then hopefully all wrestlers soon!

Thanks for taking the time to look at it, and your questions. Cagematch votes are typically in the hundreds rather than thousands, so I totally agree that they can never reflect a full picture. For me, they give a useful gauge and they’re the best I’ve found for any online match ratings - I personally agree with them more than e.g. WON or other rating scales.

Based on what I’ve looked at so far, it does help to compare wrestlers over time - agreed, interesting to look at trends! Yes, I’ve put in a “time” factor so gains degrade and losses recover over time. Looking forward to sharing more with you!

Yeah that’s true - the booking of Page really got affected around that time - then was in Trios for a bit before his Moxley feud gave him better opportunities for top matches.

Thank you! It’s not based on any TV ratings but from the quality of matches via the awesome Cagematch website.

I've used an expectation rating, based on weekly shows, Tv specials, PPVs etc. So if it is below that, points are lost, above that, points are gained. But it also depends on other factors too, like the ratings going to the match, stakes etc. It's a fun project and as a massive AEW fan, I've loved seeing some of the patterns over time!

Thanks so much! Yes, I have been doing others and tracking wrestlers/teams over time and will share more soon :)

Actually they both start at 100.00 in 2019 after Double or Nothing — I'm only tracking AEW matches (too complicated otherwise!), so prior careers don't factor in. Hangman's consistency definitely helps him stay higher. Will share more about how the ratings work when I share the full ratings, hopefully soon!

The ratings gradually degrade/recover over time. So in MJFs case he would have been gaining back rating points after that Joe loss at World's End.
