Would you be my new best friends?

Sad we didn't get another 1-2 punch of Okada/Ishii :allears:

Hard to dispute any of those top matches even if Rocky/ELP was my absolute favorite and SHOULD have won. There was a LOT of great wrestling in 2019 :hellyeah:

Thanks Punch!

So whoever does this next year, shouldn't do this category. I thought it'd be interesting, since there were several candidates for consideration.

I honestly didn't think of commentators and the like when I saw it, I guess I just assumed it was managers and valets, and it seems like there are nowhere near enough of those for a category like Most Improved, since it feels like it's less obvious when a manager has "improved" compared to a wrestler. If I had considered commentary then I might've also gone with Charleton.
