Our brilliant contributor from the lovely (and wrestling-obsessed) subcontinent of India, Arul Kannan recently brought to our site a brand-new concept that is now ready to launch: an app that allows our readers to select a wrestler's name and automatically generate a "Wrestler Card" – an algorithmically generated scouting report based on stats on match quality, card position, attendance, and wins & losses scraped from CAGEMATCH.

Statistical analysis of AEW Dark matches from Nov 2021 to March 2022.

Hello and welcome to what should be a thorough walkthrough of how I go from this: To this: So initially I gather statistics from whatever match I am watching with a quick shape based shorthand method that I made up myself. I started figuring this all out in August 2019, so i've been thinking about how I count, measure and categorise everything for 2 and a half years! The process itself, while a little taxing, is very rewarding and burrows into the deepness of how wrestling ma

Over the course of 2021, I collected in-ring statistics from ever 1v1 and 2v2 match on AEW TV and PPV, as long as the match was contested with traditional rules so no stipulation matches. For the full run down of these stats, click here. This article takes those statistics and ascertains averages from those numbers. Averages that give use what the average AEW match looked like in 2021 and the average for each of the three major divisions in AEW; Men's, Women's and Men's Tag.

Statistical analysis of AEW Dark and Elevation

Hello and welcome to all the AEW stats you could ever want! 2021 was the second year I have compiled all traditional rules 1v1 and 2v2 matches that occurred on TV and PPV into one spreadsheet. Building this around traditional rules matches and discounting Dark means we are left with directly comparable numbers across the three main divisions. So, let's cut to the chase...

A look back at the numbers for AEW Dark leading up to Full Gear 2021.

It feels like just yesterday we were witness to All In, which delivered both change and excitement. Yet here we are at the halfway point of another season of AEW Dark: Elevation. Five weeks in, and five weeks to go until Full Gear in November. So let us check in and see how things are going for the featured performers of AEW's YouTube series. A couple of notes on this season; firstly it's noticeable how much larger AEW's roster has grown compared to just a few months ag

Quick Analysis: In what may be an unsurprising development, there was no movement in or out of the Top 10 on the Men’s and Women’s Rosters in the last week; this is because Combined Metrics is an all-time cumulative measure of AEW statistics, meaning it will be a while until the high-profile recent arrivals (Punk, Danielson, Cole, Soho, etc.) find their way into the upper tier. Even so, it stands as a good example how the overall total evolves on a weekly basis. Further, as i

“Wins and Losses Matter.” This straightforward four-word slogan, spoken by EVP Cody Rhodes at the initial AEW press conference in January 2019, quickly became the maxim and driving force for my interest in All Elite Wrestling. In the two-plus years and more than 2000 matches since, this has held up as true to varying degrees. About ten months ago I began developing a system that set out to prove or disprove the above guiding principle because it became clear from anyone who

As we look forward to All Out this Labor Day weekend, let us look back to the previous three months of action from AEW Dark: Elevation and see who stands out. Fifteen episodes of Elevation (May 31st to August 30th) contained almost a hundred singles matches and over thirty tag matches. There were also a handful of trios matches but those stats weren't recorded since the sample size was so small. I looked at workers who appeared at least three times when collating the stats

Male Wrestler's Win/Loss Records vs Average Offence This is a visualisation of Male AEW wrestler's with 20 minutes plus of traditional 1v1 action on PPV and Television. It includes data from all 1v1 matches on TV and PPV in 2021 up to 8th August. This image charts these wrestlers win/loss records in traditional 1v1 matches on TV or PPV with their average percentage of offence split in these matches. This was we can see how AEW matches are presenting certain wrestlers in terms

The introduction to this series, available at One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: The Journey Away From NXT - Introduction (prowrestlingmusings.com), only came out a week ago and yet in that time it feels like we've seen the death knell of what we currently know to be NXT. So as Vince and John Laurinaitis finally get their teeth into dismantling any sense of 'indie-ness' within WWE, what better time to be looking at the success, or otherwise, of those wrestlers who made the mov

N X T Those three letters have been on one hell of a journey since February 2010 when the Black and Gold brand made it's debut. From weird game show, to even weirder game show, through a stage as a genuine developmental brand before becoming a critically acclaimed super-indie, NXT now seems to have found itself on Vince McMahon's naughty step after its failure to see off that pesky little AEW once and for all. Even in the good old days though, the general mantra around NXT wa
