scarletspeed7 01/04/18 11:35:03 AM #90:	Best Promotion 2016: WWE/NXT 2015: Lucha Underground 2014: NJPW 2013: WWE/NXT 2012: TNA Third Place: WWE/NXT Second Place: Lucha Underground Winner: NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING Honorable Mentions:PWG, DDT, CMLL, XWA, TNA Just to show you how dominant New Japan was in this category, it DOUBLED the point total of second place's Lucha Underground. New Japan had a lot of things going for it this year. Its big shows were putting out top quality matches every few weeks. It was gaining traction in the United States. Meltzer was throwing out stars like they were sprinkles on ice cream. All in all, New Japan had just about as good of a year as humanly possible. The fact that 5-star matches didn't even crack New Japan's Top 5 matches of the year should be enough to say that this was the company producing the highest quality content. Lucha Underground still has a dedicated fanbase on the board, and the second of the most recent season really stepped up the quality of matches and storytelling as Johnny Mundo's reign as champion continued. With a major cliffhanger ending, fans are biting at the champ for more. WWE's votes came primarily for NXT, a promotion that put out some fantastic matches at their Takeover events. Whether it was Jericho's Judas playing on top of one of the best betrayals in recent memory, a feud between Aleister Black and Velveteen Dream of all people tearing the house down, or a Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate creating one of the most enduring feuds in recent memory, NXT truly earned a place near the top of this list as well. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:893408543] in All-Purpos...
