Grimmas Posted December 28, 2021 Report Posted December 28, 2021 Who is the greatest wrestler of the year? Quote
Tetsujin Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Micahels had a really strong year with his Rumble performance, his Mania match against Flair, the Jericho rivalry and being super consistent on TV. I don't know if he'd be my choice but that has to be his best year since 1997. Quote
Boss Rock Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Probably Bryan. Honestly, 2006-2009 is probably Bryan. Quote
Microstatistics Posted May 11, 2023 Report Posted May 11, 2023 Yeah, it's probably HBK. You have the Jericho blood feud (a career highlight for both), the Ric Flair retirement match, really good matches vs. Batista etc. Otherwise, between the Nigel and Morishima feuds, Danielson. Maybe one of the BattlARTs guys also has a case. Quote
Graham Crackers Posted May 11, 2023 Report Posted May 11, 2023 I'd go with Yuki Ishikawa. The match with Greco and the 7/26 elimination are MOTDCs for me. He elevated inexperienced guys like Super Tiger II and as a bonus he showed up in Real Japan a few times and would have these fun small scale matches. I haven't revisited it since the time but Blue Panther did some really compelling work leading up to and in the aftermath of losing his mask. Quote
kas Posted May 11, 2023 Report Posted May 11, 2023 For a couple under-the-radar picks, 2008 feels like the first year where Shingo and Tanahashi are BITW contenders Quote
