J.T. Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Fat Chris Hero is pretty awesome but I voted for Kairi Hojo's elbow drop again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 This is my relationship with Rippa. Believe it or not, we're actually friends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Blue Sam Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 This is pretty close, but the Jungle Kyona match that I LOVED is fresh in my mind, which swings it for Hojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm not sure I can pick here, but I am sure that Hero's going to win, so sympathy vote for Hojo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Ray Von Erich Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Chris Hero, as has been stated, had one of the best in-ring years maybe ever. This year almost everyone else falls short of the incredibly high standard he set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSJ Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm sure that there must be a valid, logical and compelling argument against Chris Hero after his career year, but I can't imagine what it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I adore Hojo but Hero's matches with Scurll alone put him in the absolute highest echelon this past year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyanide Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 The best part about March Madness so far for me is making me confront my shameful blindspot for modern joshi. Kairi Hojo is amazing and super fun in everything I've watched, but Chris Hero was a fire-breathing dragon this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 There's good and bad Hero though. I just watched Mystery Vortex IV and the ReDragon/Death by Elbow match killed off the crowd because so much of the match was Hero crushing both KOR and Fish with a never ending array of elbows and boots. The Rev Pro match with Ishii was another example of bad Hero. Way too much no selling and elbow spamming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no argument here about him when he's going to the well too often with the Knockout Artist shtick. I think the sheer volume of stuff available of him online from this past year - much of it very good to great with the added level of difficulty in facing a wide variety of opponents in promotions all over the goddamn map - helps his case even with those pitfalls.
