Got my results in at last, that was way harder than I thought, particularly going through the 40+ matches I personally nominated as MOTYCs to pick out which ones would go into 2nd-5th places behind Rocky vs. ELP.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
I voted, hopefully me having not actually watched more than a couple hours of WWE in the last several years doesn't discount me from voting for a bunch of their garbage for the Worst categories. Feel like I can pretty confidently lend a point to the "Lacey Evans sucks rear end" initiative even if I didn't watch Raw every week to see it.

I actually had trouble picking a #2 and #3 for Best Show because New Japan (the only thing I actually watch now) had kind of a weird year, the shows you expect to be fantastic (WK13, Dominion) were a little underwhelming, and Sakura Genesis got preempted for the mess that was G1 Supercard.

In the Super J Cast awards, a lot of the nominations were stuff like "Best of the Super Juniors Night 13" so I think a lot of people felt the same way.

Here's what Cagematch folks have rated as the best shows of the year, so if you can't think of anything, you might as well click through that list and see if there are any events that jog your memory.

Also check out the MOTY thread, because as you run down the list you'll probably notice,"Huh, this one show got like 7 MOTYCs in it.... maybe that was a ..... good show? :thunk:"

That's not an improvement, that's just existing. There's nothing to improve on when their big PPV shows were arguably better than some of their TV shows have been

Even with the Bullet Club Civil War during the fall slow period, I'd say 2018 New Japan was sightly hotter on the whole than 2019, even if the fall slow period in 2019 had the Jushin Liger retirement stuff to keep things interesting.

The Bullet Club Civil War started in the spring fast period! Also it went absolutely nowhere after an incredible angle to kick it off and had no ending despite taking up an entire year. It's probably the biggest disappointment of all time to go from that Golden Lovers reunion to Kenny calling all Japanese wrestlers lazy and Tama Tonga and Fale being more obnoxious than usual in the G1.

That's fair, this year's G1 was much better, but 2018 had a much better junior scene even taking into account Hiromu's injury, and nothing in the main title scenes was as hot as the final few defenses of Okada's record breaking reign.

It says a lot about 2019 WWE that "exploiting Roman's cancer," as sleazy as it is, was right there on the table for them to finally get him cheered as a top babyface, and they still hosed it up and made him Just Another Guy.

I love that Interracial Cuck Angles on Raw only got 3 votes. Not because people disliking it were a minority, but because the Saudi Arabia stuff was so unfathomably awful and monstrous that even one of the worst wrestling angles of modern times barely registers by comparison.

yeah, the junior scene definitely suffered from no Hiromu and the two top guys focused more on moving up to the heavyweights. Also no other promotion that I watched in 2018 and 2019 felt like an improvement.
