I can see why I wasn't nominated for community MVP as I was excommunicated for a quarter of the year. It really puts you in the backseat.

What a year. Avengers23 in the early running for 2020 community MVP with the amount of work he put into this year's Carnies. Thanks again!
As long as I'm running the Carnies, I decline the nominations.
This was a good way to blow off a slow day at work.
I mean, someone did nominate you for Geek of the Year...
They put on a bunch of good, entertaining shows this year. Their year pretty good after the hot mania weekend.
It was completely unintentional to pick gifs for Gargano vs. Cole and Ospreay vs. Takagi that showed similar moves, but I'm please by the unintended synchronicity.
I am really pleased that I found that picture of NJPW from the Fire Pro DLC.
I really enjoyed finding that perfect gif for Seth Rollins for Geek of the Year.
My pleasure.

At least give the lucha promotions, Court Bauer, and Dave Lagana a chance.
thank you for reminding me for this and for running these awards
I won? Neat.
Big thanks to all who voted for me! Hope whatever I did to earn that is something I keep doing. lol
Also big props to Avengers23 putting all this together.

My pleasure, y'all.
It says a lot that Seth Rollins didn't win by a bigger margin, to be honest.

There's a few people who don't like me because I challenge them to think for themselves and I'm a tastemaker. It's a hard knock life, indeed.
Friend Serene, you were always helpful and not a smarky cynic in your responses to members in this community last year. Your kindness and positive energy are much needed at times in this phoney business. You are the hero we need, but not the one we deserve.
It is 2020. People can always feel free to play the "the content is good, it's here, we will make little to zero attempts to come to you" move, because I'm a fan of people making something that appeals to who it appeals to and doesn't shape itself for other people. Even if I wanted to watch more ethical wrestling, I can get my fill with EVE and New Japan and call it a fucking day. IF I don't pass on wrestling altogether. You are not owed my attention.
There's a reason NJPW is far and away the biggest Japanese promotion in America, and there's a reason Stardom has more Western subscribers than Japanese. I've watched several DDT and TJPW shows. I thought Peter Pan was good; that Asuka single light-tube death match is one of my favorite matches of 2019. But ultimately more often than not it feels like a chore, sifting through a largely Japanese website and a Twitter account and a fan blog.
They don't HAVE to make their content more welcoming to English speaking foreign people. But when they don't, I don't really wanna hear any complaints about how "people should be watching this".
I'll watch anything involving Darby Allin, even if it's against Brandon Cutler
Not just a nomination; he got 8.1% of the votes for doing nothing spectacularly geeky in 2019.
Now THAT's a fucking geek. Even Goto can't claim that.
You always come off as a nice person
Also WWE just posted the January class that has two standouts in it
Love to see comments aimed towards a conservative fuck like Cody.
I think AJ, Nak and BC had a huge hand in helping with njpw. Then the omega matches
Honestly I just appreciate a non-snarky voice that isn't always playing a character.
Avengers23 you've done a great job as usual!
You know what else helps? English commentary. Promos translated in English on YouTube. It's SO fucking easy to follow, the only reason you wouldn't is you just don't like the promotion.
Mercedes Martinez and Jake Atlas have reported to the Performance Center.
PART 3 OF THE 2019 CARNY AWARDS RESULTS! Part 1 is here. Part 2 is here. Again, I split the results up to avoid posting too many gifs at once.
WrassleERA Community MVP Award
WINNER:
Serene: 28.8%
BritishMonsoon: 25.2%
Brian_FETO: 19.4%
Sweeney Swift: 12.2%
Violet: 7.9%
Devenir Ácrata: 6.5%
Friend Serene's gimmick of optimism held true through a dark 2019. Thank you all for making this such an entertaining community, you bunch of marks and smart marks who don't know they're still marks.
Going by the 6.5% that voted for me I can extrapolate that that is how much people here watch lucha. Hope this year more people join as long as AAA keeps the quality.
A big shame Big Mami vs Lady Maravilla was not nominated for "angle of the year." It started as a fantastic silly story that ended in a brutal bet match and had an amazing post match celebration. One of the few times a lucha story actually ends right.
Thanks for all the hard work Avengers23 !
Oh, good. Maybe she'll join the Nightmare Collective with that gimmick.
Also, Violet probably should have gotten more votes for actually listing the 300 wrestlers.
AAA seems like its being run compently! The world is fucking crazy man!
She was always "The Amazing Grace" Sadie Gibbs
which i never got but w/ever
like if that's the nickname you're going with you should fucking be called grace
I'm not fighting you on this, it's your preference. But iirc njpw didn't move to full time English commentary until 2017 or 2018, it was just for certain events. They even started to retroactively add some to older bigger events.
It definitely took them time to come around to making it more regular
Only got to like the third or fourth one saying something like "I bet not one of them will be wearing an American flag!"
Barf.
