Welcome to the Year End Wrestling Awards!
It's been a long strange year of wrestling we had empty arenas and wrestler only arenas and thunderdomes and a lot of strange wrestling experiments. And now we get to vote on them. UNLIKE previous years, owing to feedback about how chaotic and stupid the old open style was I have this year produced a ballot for the awards. In each category choose your top 5 and rank them from +5 to +1. If you don't want to rank 5, start from +5 and work your way down. DM your votes to me by JANUARY 1 at 9 AM EST The Categories are as follows: Wrestler of the Year Match of the Year Promotion of the Year Best Card Best Tournament Best Feud Best Angle Best Weekly Television Show Best Women's Wrestler Best Non-Wrestler Most Improved Wrestler Best Theme Music --- Worst Wrestler Worst Match Worst Angle Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic I will post the ballot in the next few posts. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/AWY4xHy ...

I feel like having Fiend and Bray Wyatt as separate choices is wrong. They are the same wrestler.

Oh the ballot does have a few jokes on it.
Last year Bray and The Fiend, separately, had enough votes to win first and second in the category so i included both again. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/AWY4xHy ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think Ballot + write ins allowed would be best personally my take on this is that if you know you are writing in, that's fine, but the problem usually is that some of the categories are so broad it's hard to know what the feel of the room even is and if you're tossing a vote away --- Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see ...

This is why the ballot is good to have Basically it's like "here are some options people are likely considering and your vote is probably best used here BUT if you want to vote something else you can I'm actually not voting this year due to not having watched enough wrestling but say I wanted to vote I probably would rather vote someone else for wrestler of the year (though I'd probably prioritize the list where possible). The ballot is really useful for stuff like best angle though where I'd always have trouble thinking of what to vote. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Every PPV match he's had outside of Lashley has been 4* or better, including somehow having one with Ziggler. --- TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also Cody Rhodes' theme should be among the worst entrances ever. It never fails to me cringe everytime the oh oh oh oh hits.
Maybe it is also to do with Cody taking unnecessary shots at Triple H and WWE which makes AEW just seem desperate in turn. Judas easily for best entrance theme for the sole reason it makes Jericho smile and break character every time. If anyone in the business deserves that level of respect it is him. Also just a legit good song. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Really feel like he would maybe be in the bottom end of my top five but Kota feels robbed of that wrestler of the year nod The problem I have with considering Kota is that while his matches were generally some of the best of NJPW this year, I feel like there's been people who have been more impactful than him this year. And yes, it sucks saying that about the guy who won the G1 Climax but he proceeded to lose the briefcase to Jay while also still somehow getting a title shot. Man, this was not a good year for NJPW creative. That said, given that one of them had a brief (due to COVID, I think) but fun tag run with Tanahashi and the other feuded with Yujiro, maybe Kota should have been considered before Okada this year. I still wouldn't have voted for him (just like I didn't vote for Okada) but I do think Kota is the better alternative for NJPW if you aren't voting Naito. Maybe it should have been brought up when composing the ballot but, at least from my perspective, the only guys in NJPW who felt like Wrestler of the Year were Naito and kind of Hiromu. ...

Eddv 12/22/20 12:03:35 PM #31: |
Yeah i didnt put Kota because I put Naito Okada Ospreay Ishii and Hiromu all of whom I think had more remarkable years.
Remember Ibushi won the G1 kinda out of nowhere in the first place and wasnt one of the 4 best performers in that stacked A block. I mean I get it if you still prefer him over say Naito (who hasnt exactly had a stellar year as Ace) this was just my thought process. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/AWY4xHy ...

LiquidOshawott 12/22/20 1:28:09 PM #32: |
Honestly if there was anyone in that group that I feel was lacking it would probably be Ishii. I like him a lot but this was a bit of a weaker year for him match wise (at least compared to the last few) and he didnt have the story element that Kota did. But I guess thats just my opinion.
Anyway before submitting I kinda want to get a bit more familiar with some of the other wrestlers nommed (Eita, Kento, and Villano specifically) --- I live on, THROUGH THIS SEASHELL! VeryInsane's mobile account ... Copied to Clipboard!
