The 2025 Oklafan Top 50 Is Announced

The 2025 Oklafan Top 50 Is Announced

Posted: Dec 31st 2025 By: Oklafan Staff

Once again the staff of Oklafan have compiled a list of what we believe to be the top 50 wrestlers in the state of Oklahoma this year. We took into consideration factors such as visibility (how many places they wrestled in the state), accomplishments (title reigns, win/loss records, etc.), appearance (proper wrestling gear, physical fitness) and charisma among other things. Then our crack staff compiled their lists and those lists were averaged together to create the official one. So, as the first official act of 2026 on this site, we are proud to announce the Oklafan Top 50 for 2025. The number in parentheses beside the name is where they were ranked last year. If they were unranked last year it is listed as NL.
