    I love masters but he shouldn't have been in the tourney this year. He was in my top 64 on my wko ballot but given how this thing works there were a lot of guys more deserving of his spot.
  2. DylanWaco
    The people voting tanahashi are clearly too cultured and enlightened to vote for a guy who performs almost exclusively for rednecks Matt
  3. DylanWaco
    I didn't say either of these guys suck, let alone that they sucked because their strikes were good.

    Interesting to see Brock running away with this. Curious how many are votes for him and how many are votes against punk
  5. DylanWaco
    Punk was fucking awful at points last year but Brock suffers from the HHH feces. Also the fact that mark Henry has become his personal Colin Delaney pisses me off. Without a fun run in december that included Ambrose's best singles match on the main roster so far I would have picked Brock, but that late in the year surge makes me pick punk by the most narrow of margins.

    Battle of overrated guys who hit hard. I actually have a soft spot for sekimoto despite the fact that he's not very good, but I have to vote for the guy with the better match in a head to head like this.
  7. DylanWaco
    Masters best performance from last year falls outside the time period. On the other hand he did carry lance archer to the match of his life and the kris Travis match was good. The period in question probably had more tanahashi matches I liked than any other 12 month period ever, but also a lot of tanahashi matches I hated or thought were boring as piss. Not voting, mainly in solidarity with ignored indie kings vordell walker and mike Cruz.

    I don't think I will vote here because to me this is the definition of a coin flip match and it's between top five in the world contenders. I would have been forced to choose if this were later in the tourney, but it seems wrong to pretend either of the guys should be getting bounced in the first round of a tourney where the 89th best guy in the dismal modern japan scene made it to round two. Maybe I'll change my mind and do a real pimping post and pick my poison later if the results are insanely skewed

    I actually think you can make a case for any of the three guys being the best guy in The Shield. I really don't think anyone has distinguished themselves as clearly better if you are looking over the long haul of their run and considering all factors.

    The house show match I saw at the end of Feb is one of the best three or four matches I've seen all year

    I like Sting a good bit as a worker, but no way. There are well over 100 guys I think are clearly better workers than Sting, and for an HoF like that you would need to at least be on that top 100 radar at bare minimum
  12. DylanWaco
    I agree with focusing on the whole, which is why I think he shouldn't go in.
  13. DylanWaco
    That's not a good number for any ppv, but it's actually not bad by the standards of TNA house shows at all. Which is telling.
  14. DylanWaco
    I tuned into the show just as a rapist was attempting suicide and being mocked for it by a babyface. Nothing else on the show was as weird/absurd as that, but I thought it was a thoroughly TNA show with seven guys missing a dude in a huge shiny mask diving onto them, a senseless run in that helped no one in an otherwise good title match, a ridiculous re-debut of an old talent who has no fan base clamoring for his return all to execute two moves and not have a match, and knockouts and X-Division guys taking dangerous bumps and needless risks in matches that were too short to really mean anything. Also there was a James Storm match. Yep. TNA show.
  15. DylanWaco
    If you focus on late 80's/early 90's Sting it hurts him. Focusing on the Nitro era stuff is the best argument for him (and still isn't very persuasive in my view).

    There really weren't a ton of guys from Japan I thought had great years. Jinsei Shinzaki was incredible the few times he made tape, as was Tajiri. But they didn't make tape a ton, certainly not near the amount of times Okada did. I was a big fan of Fujiwara and Nishimura from last year, but they sort of fall in the same category (though I think they actually had more matches make tape, they almost certainly had less ring time). If you are going to do an international March Madness Okada absolutely deserves to make the field, even if there are easily 64 guys in total I would rate ahead of him (not 64 in Japan in his case).

    I would have voted Kana over Tyler Black without a thought. Also would have voted Kana over the majority of Japanese wrestlers in this tournament. Not voting her over Rollins
  19. DylanWaco
    I'm not a huge fan of either guy. Okada does a lot of little things well, and has a lot of the elements I look for in a wrestler, but there are other things that absolutely don't click, and I hate the countering sequences that come out of the Rainmaker. There are Okada matches I like well enough, some of which I like a lot (I really did like the 12/23 tag match a whole lot), but the majority of his most heavily praised matches I find to be either decent but overrated or boring and tedious. He's certainly not anyone I seek out. Okabayashi doesn't really do a ton for me either, though I did think his 3/31 match with Sekimoto was surprisingly really good. There is a part of me that says "abstain" here, but I will vote for Okada based on the fact that I think he gets underrated on the business end of things, and he was in more matches I saw that I liked to some degree.
  20. DylanWaco
    Dorada is better than Volador so I would guess he would be better than him in most every match. I don't hate Volador Jr. as much as some, but I almost never seek out his matches. I'm not completely averse to your spot running guys, but I want them to be more along the lines of Aerostar where they are doing things so nuts and unique that you don't care if the match happening around them is just okay. Or at least like Shockercito be really little so the novelty factor is turned up. Anyway to me Volador is just sort of there as a guy who does a bunch of stuff in his matches. The fact that he had the worst Casas match of the year hurts him more than any list of bad or annoying things he does, but he wasn't going to beat Cena anyhow. I actually don't really think Cena had that much of a a down year. Like all Cena years you can find some incredible highs and some periods where he doesn't really do much to stand out. The highs this year were the six man tag from the EC last year (outside of voting period but I'm talking calendar 2013 first), the Mark Henry match, the Daniel Bryan match which some people think is one of the best matches in company history, and then some randomly great trios stuff especially when he worked opposite Cesaro. This year he has added to that with the Cesaro match which is my current singles match of the year. In the gaps you can find plenty of "good" if not great performances. Again I don't hate Volador, but not sure I saw him in a trios as good as those trios Cena was in ever, let alone last year. Also don't think his best singles stuff is even close to as good as Cena's. And when Cena worked Bryan and Cesaro, he had much better matches than Volador had against Casas (though they were on the opposite side of each other in a really fun tag from IWRG at the end of Dec.). Also there are probably 64 luchadores I think are better than Volador.

    I've been praising Harper for years. Toward the end of his indie run he had this period where he was wrestling local hometown heroes, weird veterans like Tatanka and Danny Doring, and only occasionally showing up in "name" indie feds and this was probably the absolute peak of his run on the indies. So I had a feeling he would be awesome in the WWE and sure enough pretty much every time he's been given a chance to have a great performance he has. Not only has he been the best guy in the Wyatts v. Shield matches, and really awesome in tag matches v. the Rhodes Brothers and others, but his singles match ups have been awesome. The Sheamus and Hero ones were both great and completely different from the Bryan match which was Bryan's best match in months. On top of being brutally stiff, having a great look, and working nice varied offense, he's probably second to only Cesaro (maybe Rey Escorpion would be ahead of him too actually) for the title of best base in wrestling, and he's been the best dance partner for Rey on t.v. this year. He has a good shot of being a top five guy for 2014 if things stay on pace. Go isn't any good. I watched his Akebono match recently and really enjoyed it for what it was, but he is another one of these Japanese workers with incredibly low impact strikes. That would be okay if you knew how to work holds or do something else to inflict damage, but instead you get these gingerly thrown kicks and love tap forearms, meanwhile Akebono is mauling you like a bear. Honestly there are a lot of Japanese workers not in the tourney I would take over him. Maybe as many or more than Suwama. And I didn't even think Japan was all that good last year
  22. DylanWaco
    Voted spud mainly because I think there are 64 workers based out of japan I prefer to suwama
  23. DylanWaco
    Elgin has been awful and getting worse for 3 years. Regal had 2 of my top 3 matches of last year.
  24. DylanWaco
    Panther had the better year. More later
  25. DylanWaco
    Bryan had more opportunities than Cesaro, but fewer matches that stand out to me, and that's with him having the great benefit of working his mark briscoe tribute act hot tag in all those shield six mans.
