This list would indicate Dante Martin as ineligible for Rookie of the Year 2021 Rookie of the year voting is always a little weird in hindsight but who tf voted Dominik Mysterio ahead of Top Flight?

SG Bamboo posted:I'm of the opinion that more people should have GM Imabayashi as best non-wrestler, he's not as ubiquitous as other options but every single time he features on a DDT show he makes it better. The double singles match at Peter Pan would not have been nearly as entertaining as it ended up being if he were not there getting increasingly fed up with everyone's poo poo. Yes. quote:Also more people in general should watch DDT, it's a great variety of comedy, deathmatches, stiff fights and traditional wrestling Also yes.

Big Japan missing on him leaves me with so many questions about their booking brain trust Its not a criticism of you for doing ibscurer stuff, but most are saying Ishii or Miro. I said the same thing last year in that edition of the thread where i was advocating 2020 Shingo as Most Outstanding over Omega and best brawler over Ishii in a losing battle. It might happen again this year.

I almost want to vote Shinjiro Otani Most Improved but the only improvement is "wrestling in a company that actually makes tape for part of the year". Which seems against the spirit of the award.

IMO most improved 2021 is unironically either Tanga Loa or Yujiro Takahashi who both went from being absoluteg garbage wastemen to having decent to good matches during the G1.

Maki Itoh is NOT the most improved wrestler Because she was already great. It might actually be Kamiyu imo. She stepped up to be a believable main event wrestler in her International Princess run. Yujiro deserves a look in but I feel that's more "most increased effort" than "most improved".

I still think it’s Saya Kamitani. Many people were very surprised that Stardom had picked her to wrestle against Utami for the world title at Budokan. The biggest event they’ve had in perhaps their history and they gave that spot to an unproven wrestler, a year and a half into her career when she’s never had any big singles match anywhere near that level of spotlight. And she looked like she belonged in that match and spent the rest of the year proving that she belongs in big spotlight matches.

a cyborg mug posted:I agree, should be in the summer so I can watch The main reason to care about the g1 evaporated when the dome went to 2 nights. Now it's just an excuse to watch a lot of ishii matches which is still great, but with how hurt ishii looks I would prefer they save him for matches against Eddie, Miro and orange Cassidy.

This year the G1 is actually an excuse to watch ZSJ matches, and given on what a goddamn tear the Windy Man is on right now I think he's building a p good case for Most Outstanding.

This year the G1 has been a complete rebound from "Why the gently caress are GoD in this" to "What the gently caress, GoD are actually pretty good. They should have singles runs"

Much as I love Miyu, could I instead vote for Masaaki Mochizuki who has been doing that same move for quite a bit longer? I'm happy with my vote for Yuki Ueno's finisher, every time someone sees him pull it off for the first time they wonder how he isn't constantly breaking either his or his opponents' neck

Nobody is, but Mocchy definitely takes the lead in looking 20 years younger than he actually he is. His theme also bangs at an extremely high level
