WK 15: HM: Tekkers/GoD, KENTA/Kojima, Tana/O’Khan. MOTYC: Naito/Ibushi, Hiromu/ELP. And still not rating Ospreay matches, although from a pure in-ring standpoint you’re certainly all correct.

forkboy84 posted:HM Nth, that was fun. HM: 2020-01-12 Dragon Gate MASQUERADE (La Estrella & Shun Skywalker) & Dragon Kid vs. Kagetora, Shuji Kondo & YAMATO That kind of fast paced junior six man match is exactly what makes me happy. Probably benefited from the wrestlers mostly being new to me.

HM August 7th SCI Invitational AC Mack vs. Jeremy Wyatt Excellent storytelling from some pretty decent beef. Daniel Garcia vs. Jaden Newman The kids are alright. Room to improve but they were both really smooth and showed their athleticism without being high fliers. Tuned into this randomly, but that’s a nice couple of matches to randomly watch.

They’re a great pair of matches: newcomer vs. violent veteran in both cases, but positioned and wrestled really differently. I love the variety wrestling brings. I was also struck by Garcia’s versatility. He’s telling a very different story vs. Alexander than he was in, say, his match against Moxley on AEW, but he’s great in both.

I got bored during my week off and finished up a first cut at some code to parse Jerusalem's lists. If this is in any way stepping on your toes, let me know and I'll cut it out. But as of right now I think this is the count for every wrestler who had 5 or more MOTYCs: 15: Kenny Omega 11: Nick Jackson 11: Matt Jackson 10: Shingo Takagi 9: Miyu Yamashita 9: Rey Fenix 8: Mei Suruga 7: Will Ospreay 7: Kota Ibushi 7: Darby Allin 6: Maki Itoh 6: Baliyan Akki 6: Emi Sakura 6: VENY 6: Ryo Mizunami 6: Penta El Zero Miedo 5: Kazuchika Okada 5: Hiroshi Tanahashi 5: Jungle Boy 5: Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. 5: Jon Moxley 5: PAC 5: Chris Brookes 5: Minoru Fujita "I think this is the count" means "feel free to double-check me," cause I had to do some data normalization to extract wrestlers from tag teams, etc.

It's December 4th, and you know what that means! Top 20 MotYC Participants (21 with ties) The race is for second place now, with four wrestlers grouped tightly enough so that it's anyone's game, particularly with the Bucks injured. Shingo would really need to show up in some tag matches during Road to Tokyo Dome, though, so we'll see. Debuting on the list this month: Eddie and Dax Harwood (with a bullet, since he had 3 MOTYCs). Dropping off: Mox, Baliyan Akki, Emi Sakura, and Ryo Mizunami. We also have a new best night co-champion: Full Gear saw 7 MOTYCs to join Double or Nothing. 19: Kenny Omega 14: Nick Jackson 14: Matt Jackson 13: Shingo Takagi 12: Miyu Yamashita 11: Kota Ibushi 10: Rey Fenix 10: Zack Sabre Jr. 8: Kazuchika Okada 8: Darby Allin 8: Jungle Boy 8: PAC 8: Mei Suruga 7: Maki Itoh 7: Will Ospreay 7: Dax Harwood 7: VENY 7: Tomohiro Ishii 7: Chris Brookes 7: Penta El Zero M 7: Eddie Kingston Top 19 HM Participants (and 15 tied at 7) Hyper Misao, Matt Hardy, Minoru Suzuki, Rika Tatsumi, and Shoko Nakajima have dropped off the list; Nyla Rose and Orange Cassidy have arrived. Honorable mention to the American Dragon, who had 4 HMs this last month. 15: Penta El Zero M 12: Darby Allin 11: Nick Jackson 11: Jungle Boy 11: Matt Jackson 11: Rey Fenix 11: Matt Sydal 10: Hiroshi Tanahashi 10: Dante Martin 9: Maki Itoh 9: Jon Moxley 9: Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. 9: Orange Cassidy 8: Taichi 8: Evil Uno 8: SANADA 8: Nyla Rose 8: Nodoka Tenma 8: Miu Watanabe Bryan Danielson, Cody Rhodes, Hikari Noa, Hyper Misao, KENTA, Luchasaurus, Matt Hardy, Minoru Suzuki, Miro, Riho, Rika Tatsumi, Shoko Nakajima, The Blade, The Great O-Khan, and Tomohiro Ishii are all tied at 7 HMs. Charts Administrivia These numbers are generated by some hacky code. There's a configuration file which expands tag teams into individual members and accounts for wrestlers who have been nominated under more than one name; it also catches matches in which the participants aren't individually listed, like battle royales. Feel free to let me know if I've gotten anything wrong there! Thanlis fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Dec 4, 2021 |
