She made a few jokes about Cody's story and WWE fans calling Goosebumps level writing "cinema", then told Tony Khan that no matter what, she would never call him into the ring to celebrate with her. (Referring to him calling Bruce Pritchard and Paul Levesque to the ring after winning at WrestleMania Cody apparently decided that her comment was about Brandi and him, when later asked during an interview about whether he still has positive feelings towards AEW he said this: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6bW69QrMjB/?igsh=Y3JsejBpanRwOHJv

Wasn't it only like a month ago that Triple H tried to claim that Will Ospreay took the AEW deal because he was scared of hard work?

It's down to the last few hours to get your vote in, so make sure you do! I apologize for my above sentence in this post, which is clearly and unmistakably a callout directed at Cody Rhodes and his wife by name.

Whose House? Mr. Strickland's domicile, of course. Swerve Strickland's triumph over Samoa Joe was more than enough to get him the biggest and most important victory of his life, one that the likes of John Cena can only dream of. With 40% of the vote, Swerve has almost 3 times the vote of his closest competitor, the delightfully deranged Toni Storm, with Mark Briscoe's emotional ROH World Title victory bringing him a third place finish. This top three seems suitable enough, given that so far this year this represents the winning promotions for our subforum in champ polls for 2024: AEW and ROH. Cody Rhodes "finishing the story" was enough to give WWE a 4th place finish, with New Japan (but really Stardom), Stardom, WWE and New Japan (but maybe really AEW?) sharing 5th place. But the top spot? The #1? The guy with the gold medal? For April of 2024, forever more that will be a house that belongs to Swerve Strickland!             Previous winners, click the picture for poll results (where available) for that month.

I can't speak for WrestleHut but WWE was the only mainstream promotion easily watchable in the US at the time (TNA had torpedoed any goodwill it could have had hard) and at least in the places I spent most of my time in, a guy actually breaking through in WWE was pretty cool after some very stagnant years. Anyway, good job, Swerve. I definitely think it was an amazing moment and the Claudio match was great but I think his best months are yet to come. He was probably my third place pick just because of Mark Briscoe's emotional core and Toni genuinely stepping up to a new level that's going to be something special if it continues but it's great that Swerve is officially recognized and made it where he has. Should be fun to see how the next few months play out.

He was something new that came along at peak Cena-fatigue, and I guess a lot of people were consequently willing to focus on his strengths and overlook/ignore his weaknesses.

Majinfoose posted:I was lurking in 2010, did we really like the Miz that much that he was the champ for the year? Was that year that dire? Goons of years past have no taste. Honestly, it's amazing Danielson won in November 2006. He defended against Delirious, then was in a tag match with Jimmy Rave vs Joe & Nigel. And then there was an FIP Title match with Roddy Strong which no one will have seen because FIP must have sold an average of 14 DVDs per show & then he he went to Japan for his first ever NOAH tour. December at least had the Final Battle match with Homicide which is terrific. Though I can't imagine many of the voters saw it at the time, seeing as there was a serious delay in ROH DVDs getting sold. Although looking at it now I've discovered he had a singles match at Korakuen with Fujita Hayato at the end of his NOAH tour & now I know what I'm watching later tonight. And the whole time his shoulder was hosed up IIRC. Anyway, the actual answer is that it's easy to forget how hard it was to follow non-TV wrestling then. But just for fun, here's some of the other 2010 champions who weren't on the poll IWGP Heavyweight Shinsuke Nakamura - 4 matches, vs Yoshihiro Takayama, Manabu Nakanishi, Hirooki Goto & Togi Makabe Togi Makabe - 5 matches, vs Nakamura, Go Shiozaki, Nakamura, Masato Tanaka & Satoshi Kojima Satoshi Kojima - 2 matches, vs Makabe & vs Nakamura GHC Heavyweight Takashi Sugiura - 7 matches, vs Hirooki Goto, Togi Makabe, Yoshihiro Takayama, Jun Akiyama, Go Shiozaki, Chessman & Takeshi Morishima Triple Crown Satoshi Kojima - 2 matches, vs Joe Doering & Ryota Hama Ryota Hama - 2 matches, vs Kojima & Minoru Suzuki Minoru Suzuki - 3 matches, vs Hama, Masayuki Kono & Suwama Suwama - 2 matches, vs Suzuki & Masakatsu Funaki Open The Dream Gate Naruki Doi - 1 match, vs YAMATO YAMATO - 5 matches, vs Doi, Susumu Yokosuka, Shingo Takagi, Masaaki Mochizuki & Masato Yoshino Masato Yoshino - 4 matches, vs YAMATO, Ryo Saito, CIMA & Naruki Doi BJW Death Match Heavyweight Yuko Miyamoto - 2 matches, vs Isami Kodaka & Ryuji Ito Ryuji Ito - 4 matches, vs Miyamoto, Masashi Takeda, Shuji Ishikawa & Abdullah Kobayashi KO-D Openweight Shuji Ishikawa - 3 matches, vs Yoshihito Sasaki, Danshoku Dieno & Daisuke Sekimoto Daisuke Sekimoto - 6 matches, vs Ishikawa, Sanshiro Takagi, Masahiro Takanashi, Kota Ibushi, Ishikawa & HARASHIMA HARASHIMA - 4 matches, vs Sekimoto, Daisuke Sasaki, Danshoku Dieno & Hikaru Sato Hikaru Sato - 2 matches, vs HARASHIMA & Dick Togo Dick Togo - 1 match, vs Sato ZERO1 World Heavyweight Toshiaki Kawada - 3 matches, vs Daisuke Sekimoto, Ryouji Sai & Kohei Sato Kohei Sato - 4 matches, vs Kawada, Shinjiro Otani, Ryuji Sai & Bambikiller Bambikiller - 2 matches, vs Sato & Daisuke Sekimoto Daisuke Sekimoto - 3 matches, vs Bambikiller, Sato & Shinjiro Otani Osaka Pro Wrestling Dick Togo - 1 match, vs Billy Ken Kid Billy Ken Kid - 4 matches, vs Togo, Daisuke Harada, Miracle Man & CIMA CIMA - 3 matches, vs Kid, Black Buffalo & Tigers Mask Tigers Mask - 2 matches, vs CIMA & Asian Cougar Asian Cougar - 1 match, vs Tigers Mask STRONGEST-K KAZMA - 4 matches, vs Shiori Asahi, MIYAWAKI, Taishi Takizawa & Yuji Hino Yuji Hino - 3 matchs, vs KAZMA, Saboru Inematsu & Taishi Takizawa ICEx60 Emi Sakura - 2 matches, vs Hikari Minami & Tsukasa Fujimoto Tsukasa Fujimoto - 5 matches, vs Sakura, Hamuko Hoshi, Makoto, Hikari Minami & Miyako Matsumoto Miyako Matsumoto - 3 matches, vs Fujimoto, Makoto & Riho Riho - 2 matches, vs Matsumoto & Sakura Emi Sakura - 4 matches, vs Riho, Tsukushi, Fujimoto & Hikari Minami Hikari Minami - 2 matches, vs Sakura & Command Bolshoi Command Bolshoi - 4 matches, vs Minami, Chii Tomiya, Hamuko Hoshi & Fujimoto Tsukasa Fujimoto - 1 match, vs Command Bolshoi JWP Openweight Kayako Haruyama - 1 match, vs Nanae Takahashi Nanae Takahashi, 4 matches, vs Haruyama, Command Bolshoi, Yuki Miyazaki & Kaori Yoneyama Kaori Yoneyama - 10 matches, vs Takahashi, Tanny Mouse, Emi Sakura, Sayaka Obihiro, Hailey Hatred, Hailey Hatred, Cherry, GAMI, Yoshiko Tamura & Syuri OZ Academy Openweight Carlos Amano - 2 matches, vs Ran YuYu & KAORU KAORU - 3 matches, vs Amao, Mayumi Ozaki & Takako Inoue NWA Women's Pacific & NEO Yoshiko Tamura - 12 matches, vs Meiko Satomura, Aya Yuuki, Hiroyo Matsumoto, Ryo Mizunami, Ayumi Kurihara, Kyoko Kimura, Emi Sakura, Yumi Ohka, Aya Yuuki, Yoshiko Tamura, Hikaru Shida & Ayumi Kurihara Ayumi Kurihara - 1 match, vs Tamura PWG World Kenny Omega - 1 match, vs Davey Richards Davey Richards 3 matches, vs Omega, Roderick Strong & Chris Hero CZW World Heavyweight Drake Younger - 2 matches, vs Ruckus & B-Boy B-Boy - 2 matches, vs Younger & Jon Moxley Jon Moxley - 5 matches, vs B-Boy, Nick Gage, Sami Callihan, Greg Excellent, Egotistico Fantastico and Nick Gage & Nick Gage and Drake Younger (the first title of the year to have defences in a multi-man, making it quite hard for me to write out) Nick Gage - 2 matches, Moxley and Drake Younger & Moxley and Egotistico Fantastico Jon Moxley - 8 matches, vs Gage & Egotistico Fantastico, Scotty Vortekz, Robert Anthony, Nick Gage, Danny Havoc, Devon Moore, Drake Younger & Homicide Open The Freedom Gate BxB Hulk - 5 matches, vs Dragon Kid, Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, Masaaki Mochizuki & SHINGO wXw World Heavyweight/Unified World Steve Douglas - 6 matches, vs Drake Younger, Tommy End, Absolute Andy, Bad Bones, Ares & Zack Sabre Jr Zack Sabre Jr - 5 matches, vs Douglas, Big Van Walter, Tommy End, Masaaki Mochizuki & Big Van Walter Big Van Walter - 3 matches, vs ZSJ, 2Face & Ares SHIMMER MsChif - 2 matches, vs Sarah Stock & Madison Eagles Madison Eagles - 4 matches, vs MsChif, Ayumi Kurihara, Cheerleader Melissa & Jessie McKay And because I haven't wasted quite enough time on this pointless, meaningless endeavour, here's a selection of Junior/secondary title holders. IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tiger Mask - 1 match, vs Naomichi Marufuji Naomichi Marufuji - 7 matches, vs Tiger Mask, Prince Devitt, Koji Kanemoto, Jushin Thunder Liger, Ryusuke Taguchi, Tiger Mask & Prince Devitt Prince Devitt - 4 matches, vs Marufuji, Atsushi Aoki, Kenny Omega & Davey Richards GHC Junior Heavyweight Yoshinobu Kanemaru - 7 matches, vs Taiji Ishimori, Delirious, Naomichi Marufuji, Emil Sitoci, Zack Sabre Jr, KENTA & Kotaro Suzuki Kotaro Suzuki - 1 match, vs Kanemaru PWF Junior Heavyweight Kaz Hayashi - 11 matches, vs Masanobu Fuchi, Hiroshi Yamato, KAI, BUSHI, NOSAWA Rongai, FUJITA, TAKA Michinoku, Jimmy Yang, Tsuyoshi Kikuji, Keiji Muto & Phil Atlas (how the gently caress was 2010 Muto making Jr HW?) Open The Brave Gate Naoki Tanizaki - 1 match, vs K-ness K-ness - 3 matches, vs Tanizaki, PAC & Super Shisa Super Shisa - 3 matches, vs K-ness, Genki Horiguchi and Munenori Sawa & Tigers Mask Tigers Mask - 6 matches, vs Shisa, Dragon Kid, Shisa, Genki Horiguchi, CIMA & Masato Yoshino PAC - 4 matches, vs Susumu Yokosuka, K-ness, Dragon Kid & YAMATO DDT Extreme GENTARO - 3 matches, vs MIKAMI, Danshoku Dieno and Francesco Togo & Danshoku Dieno Danshoku Dieno - 2 matches, vs GENTARO & Munenori Sawa ROH World TV Eddie Edwards - 12 matches, vs Davey Richards, Colt Cabana, Petey Williams, Mark Moment, Kenny King, Rhett Titus, Erick Stevens, Shawn Daivari, Necro Butcher, Colt Cabana, Mark Briscoe & Christopher Daniels Christopher Daniels - 1 match, vs Edwards Did one of those have a better title reign than The Miz, whose 3 title matches that year were beating Randy Orton in 2:44 on Raw, having cashed in MITB, a TLC match with Jerry Lawler on Raw that featured a Michael Cole run-in, & a Tables match with Orton? Well yes, probably all of them did, except Danshoku Dieno, whose 2 matches were a Gay Or Straight match and a World of Kiss Rule match. Dramatic DDT didn't exist after those matches happened so I can't actually find out what the stipulations were. Probably for the best. Anyway, if I take nothing else away from this entire waste of my evening (that was for my own incredibly stupid satisfaction) it's that The Miz winning in 2010 is somehow even more inexplicable than I'd previously thought.

But I will say that past results really do showcase just how much easier it is to watch wrestling from so many different places now, usually live and in good to great quality for a remarkably cheap price. Thank gently caress. pours one out for the ustream G1 show pickers who had to hope and pray they picked a good night to pay for a single show and that the feed would be at least somewhat lag free.
