RIPPA Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 My yearly debate of whether to include Dolph Ziggler begins anew ELIGIBILITY TIME PERIOD: March 1, 2016 - February 28, 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) I'll get the easy ones out of the way: Styles, Cena, Miz, Owens, Jericho, Reigns. Balor may have been on the shelf too much, Rollins hasn't really had that good of a year, and Ziggler is Ziggler. Nakamura and the Revival from NXT. Sasha and Charlotte for sure, with Bayley, Becky, and Bliss as possibles. Edit: And Samoa Joe, of course, although how the rest of this month plays out may affect his standing.

Lacelle Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I'd like to nominate Cesaro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORELOCK Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I'm going to reverse my position from last year and ask that you not waste a spot on Ziggler that could go to someone that has a prayer of getting out of the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is kinda of what I was implying in my first statement I clearly don't like Ziggler but that doesn't perclude me from included folks like that (hence folks like Ambrose and Orton will make it too) However - like you said, it is worth putting him in a spot if he is assured losing in the first round no matter what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMDRAGON Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I nominate DIY, The Brian Kendrick, and Handsome Rusev. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyanide Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I know he loses points for getting basically shafted from fall onward, but Sami Zayn from WrestleMania weekend through the summer deserves all the love. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I'll proudly be the first time nominate Jack Gallagher. Also, Braun hasn't gotten a shout yet, and it would feel incomplete if he wasn't included. Also, just from the CWC, Kota Ibushi and Cedric Alexander seem like pretty good calls.

Sublime Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 For NXT: I'd say YES to Joe, Nakamura, The Revival, DIY, AoP, Jose, Asuka, Dillinger. MAYBE to American Alpha (putting them here cause they were a bigger deal in NXT than SDL), Almas, Billie/Peyton (as a duo), Aries, Balor For WWE: YES to Styles, Reigns, Owens, Jericho, New Day, Rusev, Zayn, Braun, Sasha, Charlotte, Bayley, Becky, Alexa, The Miz. MAYBE to Corbin, Harper, Wyatt, Orton, Cena (mostly due to his time off), Rollins, Ambrose, Kallisto CWC/205live: YES: Ibushi, Kendrick, Alexander, Gallagher, Neville, Swann, Metalik (or should he be in the Lucha noms?). MAYBE: Perkins, Gulak, Tozawa (I didn't see much of his japan work in the past year to be sure), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 since he is currently contracted to WWE, I'm gonna post here to second Gran Metallik/Mascara Dorada. Dude had one of my favorite matches in both promotions I saw him in last year (vs. Tajiri, w/ Dragon Lee & Guerrero Maya Vs. Gran Guerrero/Euforia/Niebla Roja).

J.T. Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Holy fuck does the decision not to include Ziggler this year really have to involve head scratching and navel gazing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
