2018

[Grimmas]

Who is the greatest wrestler of the year?

[El-P]

Kenny Omega.

Extremely close between Okada and Omega, but I'd go Okada because I really didn't like any of Omega's matches against Cody (including that triple threat).

[Makai Club #1]

Omega had an underwelming title reign with the Okada & Jay White's feud overshadowing it in the fall. So Okada? Katsuhiko Nakajima has an incredible year after a crowd killing title ace run in 2017. I forget who I went with in the WON awards. Gut says that Okada edges it.

[Tetsujin]

WALTER.

[Reel]

I had Go Shiozaki as my number 1 at the time, and think its a fine pick. He was consistently great everywhere: NOAH, DDT, a weird match with Nanae in Seadlinnng.

But, that was a cowardly pick, I should have had Shinya Aoki at #1. The best MMA fighter in pro wrestling run ever. Tapping guys in seconds, slick transitions, guys selling his submissions like death. Now, he's completely lost all of that, but in 2018 he was awesome. 

[Boss Rock]

Toss-up between Kenny or WALTER. I don't know if WALTER had a single match below 3.75, but Kenny had some pretty ridiculous peaks and an excellent tag run with Ibushi.

[Microstatistics]

Agreed, WALTER and Omega seem the no-brainer Top 2.
