December Wrasslin' |OT|: It's the Most Carny Time of the Year
- Thread starter Avengers23
- Start date

Give it all to me. I'd love to put together a historical record of the Carnies over the years. I'm a sucker for looking at who won what over time.
I see. That makes sense. None of that is there when he does rando tour stops.
That's the issue for me is, the touring Allin is 100% still just a bump machine. He's great at it, but it's kinda seen it once, seen it enough. This will be my third.
I'm a pretty smart fellow, I only have responses, not my writeups on who won what. So you'd have to re-tally.
I'm sure there's an easy way to look them up at The Olde Playce based on a keyword in there. Probably "Most Underutilized Performer" would I imagine bring up only a handful of posts, some of them being results.
2012, my first year of ever watching wrestling. What a year.
It's a miracle you're still here with us. Thank god you didn't start in 09, even though that year had the Triple H Home Invasion angle and Randy Orton at his legitimate best.
I can pass feedback to the other staff/site admins if you've got any specific problems with it. Definitely had a few problems with the search myself.

It also sounds like a Bayley situation, where like Bayley Allin is compelling if you've seen the journey, but without it not as much

The Old Place uses the same forum software as this place, which makes me think that the search is going to be just as broken.
Edit: Yup, I tried searching for "WrassleGAF Community MVP," "Carnies," "Carny Award," and "Most Underutilized Performer," and none of those searches pulled up the results pages. This software's search function is fucked.

In this particular instance, my search results only go back a month or so, even when searching for posts that I made. Searching for posts in one forum or sub-forum doesn't seem to work; I tried search "Carny Awards" in off-topic community, and I would get results from other fora.
Ok, thanks. I'll raise it. I'm sure it's been mentioned before. There's still work being done I think.

I need to see how Allin did at BOLA against Jeff Cobb and the match against Trevor Lee at Smokey And The Bandido.
it's going to be hard to pick between Hiromu and Shibata for "comeback of the year" in the 2019 carnies
Lol shit
Because my store is closed New Years Day I think I work the night of WrestleKingdom, normally I have Fridays off

At least we have Konami brightening our day.
Oh, yeah, that would make sense. I'll have to watch them soon-ish.

I wonder if we should change Overrated to Overpushed. Though they're not the same thing, we seem to interpret Overrated to mean Overpushed when it comes to the Carnies.
split them
overrated just means "this guy gets a lot of hype but ain't all that" or "this guy is supposed to be great but sure isn't showing it lately"
OP

Man, more categories though. And Overpushed covers some of what you're talking about as well. It's always been a weird category.
"Hot take" award for guy everyone loves I think fucking stinks
Make it explicit
I guess to me its a difference between shitting on company's view of a wrestler vs. fans' view of a wrestler
I know you don't want to add any more categories but what if we stole "PLEASE STOP" from giant bomb
Oh yeah, ditch them both and take that. Maybe with the caveat that it applies only to active wrestlers, to avoid Carny motherfucker overlap
OP
OP
If we change it to PLEASE STOP Pushing This Wrestler, it gets to some overlap with Please Retire and Carny Motherfucker.
I think I'm leaning to just changing it to The Hot Take Award for Most Overrated Wrestler, and it's up to the nominators to figure out if they want to push (ha!) wrestlers who are overrated by fans or overrated by companies.
HOT TAKE: Pineapple is not my preferred pizza topping, but I think it works perfectly fine as a topping
They're apparently bringing in Haskins next year, I wouldn't be surprised to see them at least start using him on shows overseas like they have been with Havoc and Haskins
Don't think he wants to sign a contract just yet though.
He's probably in the best position of a lot of his peers because his merch is like a clothing line at this point
AEW will probably run bucks vs CCK at ALL IN 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO
OP

More likely they try to get the Super Smash Bros visas and hire them
we will never get Bucks vs. South Pacific Power Trip or CCK

You can guess who I will be pushing for Non-WWE Wrestler of the Year.
