Pro Wrestling Rankings: PWI 500, Meltzer’s ratings?

@elozawi

Published: Sep 24, 2023

I am an amateur coder. I started WrestleRank to democratize pro-wrestling rankings. Pro-wrestling is inherently subjective, highly opinionated, and fiercely debated. Everyone has their own view about who the best wrestlers are and which matches deserve the highest ratings. The PWI 500, Meltzer's ratings, etc represent opinions and are not definitive. They are only as credible as people perceive them to be.

I wanted to create a community ranking platform where people can contribute equally to rank the wrestlers they love and love to hate. I put my head down, and in two weeks, came out with WrestleRank version 1. There's still a lot left to add, improve & refine, but it's a starting point. There are definitely some flaws in the system, but I thought it would be better to launch early and let feedback guide how WrestleRank develops.

I couldn’t have made the current version of WrestleRank without AI. I used 500+ GPT-4 prompts to build the entire backend & frontend. Let me reiterate, I am an amateur coder. I had no experience with PHP, databases, servers, etc., before this. I only had a little experience with HTML/CSS & JavaScript, but I barely even used that knowledge.

Anyone can make a website these days. All you need is access to chatGPT, and then, just prompt. One thing that you can’t get out of AI though (at least, I don’t know how to yet) is effective marketing. I have no idea how to get the word out about WrestleRank.

Want to help? You can contribute to the project by sharing the website with your friends and posting about it on social media.
