Wrestling: Pay-Per-View Players - November 1983

#1 Ric Flair [--] (1-0-0) (NWA)
(World Heavyweight Champion)
Ric Flair defeated Harley Race in a steel cage match at Starrcade '83 to become the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. With a win priority and weighted losses, this makes Ric Flair the first #1 ranked PPV Player, while Harley Race is forced outside the Top 10 by default of booking.
 
As in the Kayfabe Countdown, championship victories break the tie to organize Ric Flair at the top. PPV title wins will be tallied additionally from future results, but individual belt reigns will not be.

From eight Starrcade matches: 12 wrestlers secured victories. The Assassins are the only winners outside the inaugural Top 10, having won an opening tag team bout against Rufus R. Jones & Bugsy McGraw. Both teams have been included in the tag ranks [below].
