This is my fourth official list of top 50 wrestlers. In this list, I'm ranking the best 50 wrestlers of WWF in 2001, as WCW and ECW had been bought by WWF earlier this March. The wrestlers of WCW and ECW have wrestled throughout the year in WWF as part of The Alliance. However, wrestlers who remained with WCW and ECW until their closure and were not employed by WWF would be listed as free agents.
