Re: Poll Regarding 'Power Rankings'

I should note, to anyone who didn't follow this discussion on Discord, that this idea was inspired by a feature in the old in-kayfabe Bill Apter wrestling magazines (Pro Wrestling Illustrated, The Wrestler, Sports Review Wrestling, etc.) which would rank the top wrestlers in each major promotion, and the discussion came up when proposing a community-written LAW Magazine. However, this wasn't the only feature the Apter mags had, and there are plenty of other ways to showcase characters in a magazine-type format, like people have been saying. Match reviews, interviews, veterans writing on debuting rookies, reporters leaking a wrestler's secret chili recipe (yes, the Apter mags actually did this once) - there's plenty of potential, and we don't need to introduce a divisive idea. Here's a great article on the subject if you want to see some ways a magazine could work.
