May earn millions and is treated like royalty. Any wrestler in the top forty earns at least $170,000 a year. The
seventieth-ranked wrestler in Japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year. Life isn't very sweet outside the elite.
Low-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors, preparing their meals and cleaning their quarters and even
oaping up their hardest-to-reach body parts. So ranking is everything
A wrestler's ranking is based on his performance in the elite tournaments that are held six times a year. Each
wrestler has fifteen bouts per tournament, one per day over fifteen consecutive days. If he finishes the tournament
with a winning record (eight victories or better), his ranking will rise. If he has a losing record, his ranking falls. If it
falls far enough, he is booted from the elite rank entirely. The eighth victory in any tournament is therefore critical,
the difference between promotion and demotion; it is roughly four times as valuable in the rankings as the typical
victory.
