Also that lack of Jumbo representation is disheartening
Awards are cool but I feel like big promotions like Ice Ribbon or Actwres and smaller ones like Marvelous or WAVE should get some representation in the yearly joshi OT.
(Also Arisa shouldn't even be up for most improved given she wasn't even wrestling last yeah and everybody other than refined joshi critics loved her from the moment she came back!)

Can't cover everything all the time, unfortunately. No matter what the format something will always be left off. If I do it all myself then it turns into what I know and what I don't. If I do awards and let the community speak it's obviously going to represent less of the smaller stuff. Trying to do both would be an even more ridiculous undertaking. Which I might do in the future, but it's just a lot.
No worries! I really appreciate all the effort you put into it.

Thanks. That's the main reason why I broke down the top three as opposed to just the winners, because I wanted to represent as much of the scene as I could. But also I want this OT every year to be a window and gateway for people less into joshi to get into it and have an overview of the scene so I don't want to go information overload from the jump, you know? It's a weird balancing act.
Great show.
Top matches ruled, great angle tag with Taichi/Suzuki vs Okada/Mox, and Naito/SANADA vs White/KENTA was great too.
It was my #1 by just a slight margin, but I figured not enough people would have seen it so I voted strategically for Tam/Arisa, which I loved just as much.
Yeah, it is kind of weird especially with the Stardom slant in the final voting. I mean, Jungle made it and finished 2nd. As great as she is (and I like her more than Arisa), her personal accomplishments were dwarfed by what Arisa did last year. I think there's a good chance she would have stolen that spot from Kyona if someone actually nominated her. Personally, I limited myself to 3 spots for everything (5 for matches) and those went to Sareee, ASUKA, and Maya Yukihi.
She had 4 matches! But yeah, you're probably right.

Darby's character is that he's mostly a loser
If he starts winning a bunch then that betrays the whole thing. He should only really go on a streak when it's gonna be the time they go all the way with him and you have to be careful not to burn that too early.
The thing is though, he needs to get wins in between all those big losses one after another otherwise he'll start to come across as kind of a jobber.
Ah, there's the gif for the Super Death Rider I was looking for during the Carnies.
Moxley vs Kenny was great but this is probably still my favorite Mox match in AEW.
OP
OP
As of this past week he's 6-6 overall. Which is perfect. He should hover around a completely average record until he goes on his run.
That's kind of lame character. Who wants to tear for a loser. That's like being a browns fan who wants to do that

I mean people in this very thread still cheer for Goto and Ishii
So you want him in jail when he inevitably gets caught snuggling weed into the country.
Becuase she had a good entrance?
Sadly, yeah...that sounds like something WWE would do.

Look at that Smackdown women's roster and consider that Sasha is hurt.
Naomi is as good a choice as any and has the crowd behind her at the moment. She is far from the worst choice they can make.
OP
OP
if Kelly gets free of not being used in NXT UK only to sign up for the shitty AEW Women's Division, that'll be a choice
OP

I get what you're saying but if they can't get better talent, the division won't get better.
AEW will book good matches but most of their womens talent right now are green or terrible with a few good standouts like Kris and Shida.
Already found my Gif Of The Year for the CarniesTHE boys. Fuck yeah!
