Power Slam - PS 50

PS 50

Every year the magazine presents the PS 50 (akin to the PWI 500) listing the 50 wrestlers whom the writers believe to have had the most successful year, in terms of workrate and performance.The 2012 winner Hiroshi Tanahashi is the first wrestler to be ranked number one in two consecutive PS 50s, followed by Austin Aries and C.M. Punk.

There is also an annual reader's poll for various awards ('match of the year', etc.) similar to that carried out by RSPW. Many of their polls listed, for their time, surprising and unsurprising results (at least two polls once labeled popular wrestling stars like The Undertaker and John Cena as the "Most Abysmal Wrestlers" of their respective years, Undertaker in 2001, John Cena in 2005. Cena was again voted most abysmal wrestler in 2010 and 2011.

Despite their criticisms, their readers polls always crown WWE as the top promotion of the year until 2005, where TNA overtook the company for the first time. TNA would follow up that victory with another in the 2006 reader awards, although in 2007 the percentage of votes for TNA dropped considerably.
