Angela Hill over Waterson. I don't think so Tim Taylor.
Angela fought & won double as many times as Michelle in one year than Michelle had in two. Against better competition too. Then Angela's loss was to a higher ranked opponent than KH's loss.

Dang that took some time.
Hah, thanks, bud.

It actually took the longest time to make it the very first time. Regular updates aren't too bad though. Lots of copy & pasting.

Debatable. I don't remember MW during that time having as few options for potential threats as LHW does now. The division is essentially just DC, Gus & Jones assuming he returns. I guess Jimi could take Rumble's spot in the big four now too.
 
Every ranking has 3 names its too much..

Maybe time to move the rankings to spreadsheet and upload pic ? Or some way to modernize the look?

It's for comparative purposes along with bringing back in the worldwide ranks. I initially started that way but then went to just UFC...now back again. Pretty much because of @mmaleatherneck :p
