Original post updated for March 2026!

With the March Madness tournament in play, I had no idea how this month was going to play out! A LOT of highlights to point out this month...

---

AAAAAANNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDD NNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!

• Dickie Watson - Number 1
  Returning to the top of the ELO(N) rankings is an interesting position for Dickie Watson, who was eliminated in the semi-finals of the March Madness tournament and experienced a net loss of ratings points for the month as a result. But with the previous number one, Kieran King, losing more points across the month, and Dickie being far enough ahead of the rest of the pack after some phenomenal performances late last year, Dickie gets the nod. He might not have the Universal Championship or the King of the XWF, but he's still Dickie fucking Watson.

Biggest rankings increase

• Mr. Oz - +5
  Oz is one of the characters who got punished a bit by War Games back in November, and he's been steadily increasing his rating since. A solid undefeated month, including a handicap win on PPV (beating 2 people by yourself looks good for ratings) sees him climb 5 places this month! Will he keep going up?

WELCOME TO THE CLUB!

• Scoops McGee - 2000 points!
  It may not have been enough to get to number one, but winning March Madness (on the back of also being the winning captain of War Games last year) sees Scoops McGee skyrocket up in ratings points and join the 2000 Club. Being only 5 points away from Dickie Watson, Scoops could very well see himself topping the list in no time!
• Game Girl - 2000 points!
  A dark horse for a long time in the rankings, Game Girl holds steady in third but finally crosses the 2000 point threshold alongside her sometimes tag partner Scoops! Only once before have two people joined the 2000 Club at the same time, and interestingly, they are the other two names at the top of the list. It's been a long time since four people have been in striking distance of number one! Game Girl has been there before. Will she get there again?

Highest debut/return

• Jenny Myst - 11
  It's great to see Jenny Myst back in the ELO(N) rankings, and with a couple of X-Treme Title reigns already under her belt since returning, it's no wonder she's the highest return or debut this month. The thing is... Jenny's also already claimed a massive scalp in terms of rankings, when she won her first round match of March Madness. So 11 doesn't seem to be the limit for Jenny at all. I'm eager to see how high she climbs!

New personal best!

• Centurion - 145 matches
  There's a reason that Centurion is a legend. As the man with the most matches in XWF history, this is split between eras and solid record keeping for anything pre-2013 is impossible. But since returning in 2019, Centurion has ticked up 145 matches! Why is this important? Because this month that breaks him into the Top 5 most matches in XWF ELO(N)'s records!

Keep your eyes on:

• Micheal Graves
  The cat's out of the bag. "The Dark Warrior" has long been a mainstay of the main event scene on Anarchy, but hadn't quite broken through to that same level on Warfare. Now he has. A two week reign as Universal Champion is surely only going to wet the appetite. Micheal Graves is a bonafide top guy, and even though his finals loss saw his ratings get undercut here a bit, Gravy is no doubt moving towards the 5.
• Isaiah King
  Several losses on PPV in a row has really dented the stocks of Isaiah King. But we all know what he's capable of. Isaiah is a two-time Universal Champion, a War Games winner, and in my opinion, a future Hall of Legends candidate. To see him at 18 is astonishing. As soon as he's ready, Isaiah has all the tools to climb again.
• Kristoffer Arroyo
  Obligatory Vamp mention. Like Oz, he's been slowly increasing his rating since War Games. He's ranked 15 now, but the sky is not even close to the limit for him. Good thing he's not dead, eh?
