I've chosen my next victim. Cry tears of joy it's not you!

Thanks for the script, I was having a hard time deciding who I would put in my top 10 but when forced to do so by a cold unfeeling machine it becomes much easier. I tried to answer the list as an exclusively 2019 thing which means that some of my favorite wrestlers(Pentagon Jr, Fenix) ended up near the bottom of the list because I am incapable of caring about tag team wrestling.

1 - Kenny Omega - I would normally put Okada slightly above him but seeing Omega wrestle some new people this year really made me enjoy his work.
2 - Kazuchika Okada - He is actually the best in the world.
3 - Tomohiro Ishii - My favorite thing about Ishii is the way he wrestlers against other members of Chaos. Either they take it seriously or they die.
4 - Ryusuke Taguchi - I will always love the story of the lazy goofy veteran reminding everyone he's actually a really good wrestler, Taguchi was great in the BOSJ.
5 - Kota Ibushi - Please don't die
6 - Hirooki Goto - I've always thought Goto was a bit underrated. He's someone who should absolutely never be champion but he has good matches and cool moves.
7 - Hiroshi Tanahashi - Please don't die work without rest until your limbs fall off.
8 - PAC - I like a heel who's a heel because he's a bastard and not because he's a cowardly cheater.
9 - Minoru Suzuki - I like his socks collection.
10 - Switchblade Jay White - Countering every move into the Bladerunner is enough to get him on my top 10 list.

I don't want to spam this thread with gifs but I've been slowly running this tournament and Orange Cassidy vs PAC ended in the most OC way possible. He got KO'ed, kicked out at one and then lost because he wouldn't get up. Also he managed to put on his sunglasses while kicking out.

I should point out that I'm using the official wrestlers when available and downloaded wrestlers when they aren't available, and some of those may be built with either way too many points or way too few, we'll see! Whoever programmed Okada's CPU logic did great, he attempted the rainmaker about 16 times and was countered every time. Never tried to pin Darby once, which almost cost him the match until he locked in a submission and beat him. Orange Cassidy's CPU logic seems to be 75% loving around, which is great.










Samoa Joe choked out Will Ospreay with a sub out of nowhere.

I just figured out how to record my screen so I don't accidentally miss out on stuff with gifcam so I'll hopefully have some slightly better gifs for the rest of the tournament.

He's wearing long boys in his default attire so it makes sense that he would have poor decision making skills in his CPU logic.

:siren: The tournament continues :siren:


Maki Itoh vs Minoru Suzuki
The world's cutest wrestler vs the man with the worst personality in the world.
Maki Itoh Respect Army please don't look. It's a very bad time to wear red and white around Minoru Suzuki. I'm not even sure he noticed he wasn't fighting Liger. Maki Itoh did manage a few body slams but otherwise it was all Suzuki until he forced the tap with the octopus stretch.



Toru Yano vs Chris Jericho
The Sublime Master Thief vs The Guy Who Got His Belt Stolen.
This was an all out war on testicles. Red Shoes decided to allow YTR to repeatedly strike Jericho in the balls as revenge for what he did to his son, but then Chris Jericho turned the tables and took his own revenge one testicle at a time. From the beginning of the match it was clear that Jericho was the better wrestler, hitting a frankensteiner and a big tiger suplex on the outside, but YTR almost got the better of him multiple times with rollups. In the end YTR's cardio failed him, as he couldn't get up after a pin attempt which gave Jericho enough time to get YTR in the Walls of Jericho and force the tap.



Naito vs SANADA
The guy who yells tranquilo vs the guy who is tranquilo.
Please do not read the spoilers unless you are extremely tough & hard mentally. This was a very short match, in which SANADA performed well until Naito broke his neck and then decided to go full tranquilo on him. I'm sorry, I wish there was more to say about this match. Rest in peace SANADA.



'Switchblade' Jay White vs Zack Saber Jr.
The guy who counters every move into the Bladerunner vs The guy who counters every move into a different submission
ZSJ showed his technical prowess early on in the match, getting the better of White in most exchanges, tripping him up and setting up submission holds. Jay White eventually gained control of the match after hitting ZSJ with a chair and then hitting a Blade Runner on top of said chair. He decided that ZSJ needed more punishment and didn't go for the pin, hitting ZSJ with some big moves and finishing the match with a uranage that folded ZSJ in half.



By the way, is there a way to embed anything other than gifs in a thread? These gif filesizes seem way too big so let me know if there's a better way to do this.

:siren: The tournament resumes :siren:

I'm going to try to embed these mp4s but you might have to click on them if you want to view the absolute best count out tease in the history of this thread.
Edit: I tried but they didn't show up

First up is Velveteen Dream vs Kota Ibushi,
The guy who tweets to defend Vince McMahon vs The guy who doesn't know who Vince McMahon is

This was a pretty back and forth match, with Ibushi going for big strikes and Dream dropping elbows and doing body slams. It turned into an extended false finish sequence about 10 minutes in after Kota hit two Kami Goye's and then got hit with a Purple Rainmaker. He briefly came back but got hit with another Purple Rainmaker and that was it for Ibushi.


Aja Kong vs Tomohiro Ishii
The Brainbusting Brawler VS The Brainbusting Brawler
It's Aja Kong vs Tomohiro Ishii. Despite being complete opposites, these two are very similar in terms of wrestling style, which is to say any wrestler getting in the ring with either of them finds themselves in a desperate struggle for survival. This was the longest match of the tournament so far at just over 30 minutes, and it was probably the best match of the tournament as well, because Ishii is the best wrestler in the world. Ishii and Kong just went to town on each other's skulls with brainbusters and piledrivers for half an hour. Ishii almost won by count out after hitting a Steiner Screwdriver outside of the ring, but Aja got back in the ring at 19, bringing a chair with her. She struck Ishii with the chair but then he got back up, dropped her on her head, headbutted her and hit a lariat for the victory.


Cody Rhodes vs Nick Gage
Wrestling Royalty VS The King, or "I also just got zelda's horse with the royal bridle/saddle." VS "What is this poo poo supposed to be you guys are hosed up is that an alien"

At 30:34 this is the second longest match of the tournament so far which is exceptional considering Nick Gage was exhausted 3 minutes in. This was another brutal match, although it did not devolve into a death match and there were no weapons used. Nick Gage dropped Cody on his neck multiple times but his lack of conditioning meant that he was never able to capitalize and go for a pin. Also he's got the slowest walk speed in the game and it's hilarious when he's running the ropes. Anyway, after half an hour, Cody hit the Cross Rhodes and then a reverse figure 4 for the tap.

Thank you Cavauro I'm glad we didn't have to wait too long for the next matches I heard we're almost done with round 1 and there's been a lot of OKITE YABURI in the last matches


Pentagon Jr vs Asuka
Zero Miedo VS Rainbow Rudo
Remember when Pentagon Jr got into a gauntlet match with 3 joshi assassins in Lucha Underground? This is the sequel. There's only one assassin this time but she's real good. Pentagon Jr elbowed and dropkicked Asuka in the head and she returned the favor and kicked him hard several times. At some point she appears to have broken Penta's arm and it just kind of hung limp at his side for the rest of the match, which allowed Asuka to bully Penta and force him to tap by twisting his gross broken arm around.



Kenny Omega vs Cesaro
The Machine VS The Cyborg
Kenny Omega might be the best bout machine, but Cesaro is a human horse, and he's so good that he's actually ahead of the horse facts-cowboy Adam Page in the ranking despite being a misused WWE midcarder. If Cesaro ever leaves the WWE every match he has will be a dream match. Anyway, of course Kenny and Cesaro have a great match. Cesaro starts the match by tossing Omega around a bit to show his incredible strength but then he accidentally winds up the best bout machine with a giant swing and Kenny Omega starts just destroying his whole rear end. Cesaro becomes the second person to ever kick out of the One Winged Angel, and if that's not a victory in itself I don't know what is. They fight on and Kenny Omega gets to show off his entire move list pretty much. Anyway I'm putting the ending of this match in spoiler tags because there's been another fatality.





Daniel Bryan vs WALTER
Married to Brie Bella VS Rey Mysterio's giant son from Austria
As you might expect from these two, this was a match of stiff strikes and painful submissions. WALTER hits a headbutt in honor of Shibata, then tries to tap Daniel Bryan with his own LeBell lock, but Bryan's not about to tap to his own move. After getting destroyed with a lariat he does tap to the boston crab however.

Tanahashi vs Taichi
Stabbed by his ex VS Extramarital sex
This is a match featuring one of the most beloved wrestlers in the world, facing off against one of the most hated heels in the business, the villainous Cockroach Mask. The Holy Emperor does what he has to do to gain the advantage early on in the fight, which is to say he relentlessly attacks Tanahashi's balls. Tanahashi fights back, attacking Taichi's glistening thighs with a variety of dragon screws to diminish Taichi's kick-based offense. Even in video games Tanahashi is a master tactician. Taichi kicks Tanahashi in the head a bunch to show that he can actually fight and that his legs work just fine, actually, and then the ultimate heel Tanahashi steals Taichi's last ride powerbomb. The Holy Emperor only manages to survive because he's so close to the ropes. He goes back to targetting Tanahashi's giant balls, and puts the Ace away for good with another kick to the head.




Shingo Takagi vs Chuck Taylor
Made In Japan VS Mr. Azerbaijan
Howie Dewitt starts the match by dumping Shingo out of the ring, then bullies him by using his superior heavyweight body to slam him on his back and head several times. Shingo gets mad and hits a Last of the Dragon out of nowhere on Rich Mahogany. Dustin's body is halfway out of the ring so Shingo is unable to get the pin. They brawl a bit to the outside, Shingo hits a big dive, and then Scott Tatum forgets to kick out when Shingo reverses one of his moves into a simple backdrop and pins him.


Luchasaurus vs Jon Moxley
Friend with the small boy VS Friend with the Big Dog
This is pretty much a blood feud. Jon Moxley used to work for a man who had the skull of a t-rex mounted in his office, and that's the kind of thing you just can't forgive. They're pretty evenly matched, hitting some strikes and then big moves. 15 minutes in they're both exhausted but still fighting hard. Luchasaurus' age is starting to show as he's just gasping for breath after every move, but that doesn't prevent him from hitting Moxley's finisher on him. Moxley is having none of it and decides to show Lucha how it's done by hitting his finisher(what is it even called now? The Paradigm Shift?) and then using Luchasaurus' own chokeslam to put him away at 23 minutes.

Hello I did not mean to abandon the tournament I was busy.

Now that I've finally figured out how to embed Mp4s this should go much better.


Okada vs PAC
The Problem Child vs the Perfect Son
Okada is the best wrestler in the world, but PAC is as mean as Minoru Suzuki and as athletic as Taiji Ishimori. Okada hits the perfect dropkick early but PAC gains controls and just tosses Okada out of the ring like he's Brock Lesnar. Okada mounts a comeback and suplexes PAC half a dozen times like he's also Brock Lesnar. In fact, everyone in this match is Brock Lesnar. Red Shoes wears red shoes as a homage to how red Brock gets during his matches.

Samoa Joe vs Minoru Suzuki
JoeJoe's bizarre adventure.
The recording glitched out at the beginning for about 10 seconds in which it appeared as if time had stopped for everyone but Minoru Suzuki, which is quite appropriate in a match where a man named Joe battles an ancient evil. Joe gets rattled early by Suzuki's weird time stopping powers and gets hit with a couple of piledrivers. Joe fights back, folds Suzuki in half, but then gets outmaneuvered again and taps out at exactly 7 minutes. Very underwhelming considering the participants, but I think this might be due to Joe having a weird CPU logic.

Chris Jericho vs Naito
Judas vs the man who killed his handsome friend SANADA in a fit of jealousy
Naito gets a lot of offense in at the start which is a strange departure from the usual Naito match where he gets beat up and looks like a chump. Jericho fights back because he knows better than to be the Naito of this match. Naito almost gets counted out after taking a sneaky low blow on the outside. They even get into a spirited striking exchange.
