Colon is currently a top 20 candidate for me.

The Bucks have a serious shot at making my ballot, but I'd like to do a deeper dive of their PWG stuff. And I THINK I would go Matt over Nick, but by like one spot haha.

Have only seen a handful of Fujita matches, but from what I recall he was basically like if Goldberg could work longer matches. Tons of physical charisma and power. Would definitely recommend the G1 match with Kawada.

The obsession Gedo has with G.O.D. continues to defy all logic. 5 years of mediocrity.

I thought it was overall good but marred by the unification stuff and cut too short.

Nagata-Mox should be awesome.

Oh gotcha. Yeah which makes it even stranger for him to lose so early.

Unless Gedo continues to go against pattern, I think it's likely he or Okada beats Ospreay in the Dome or Dominion. Then the other wins the G1.

Same, very strange. I sort of wonder if Gedo has reached his expiration date as a booker.

It suuuuuucks. Seriously, why get rid of one the best-looking titles ever?

No worries, I appreciate the info!

Shingo just should've won. There was already a story there with him beating Ibushi in the G1. Layup.

I was always under the impression that was like a year recovery, but good to know.

I've pretty much had a series of rough drafts since I saw the results of the last vote. It's really fun to see how your own list develops over time.

YOH is coming back at Sakura Genesis. Not a doctor, but coming back 10 months removed from an ACL injury seems pretty miraculous.

Tenryu should go in. The man beat Savage in the dome!

Finlay-Ospreay was great. This whole tournament has been a really good showcase for him. Really happy he finally got a win over Jay after all these years. Main event tomorrow should be excellent. Pulling for Shingo as there's already history with him beating Ibushi in the G1. Not that I expect him to the win the title, but him winning the tournament would be an awesome show of confidence after how well he's done the past 2 years.

Speaking of athletic big dudes, Keith Lee has to be near the top of the list.

I remember really liking this in the moment as it was the ultimate "dog catches a car and has no idea what to do with it". Cena had been angling for this match for months and now that he finally got it, he realized "Oh shit, I didn't prepare for this at all". But in hindsight, yeah this sucked. Not only was Taker coming back extremely dumb, but it was such a disservice to Cena. He deserved a hell of a lot better than this.

Rey Fenix is unreal. Like early Rey.

That image of Roman standing tall with fireworks going off in the night sky was pretty badass.

I liked it a lot, but A.J. is one of the greatest of all-time.

Yeah I remember that was a pretty big factor for ticket sales. And seeing the bump live (I attended that year) was pretty awesome even though the match as a whole was lame. That lockbox story was dumb as hell though.

GWE is what first introduced me to the board and encouraged me to expand my horizons in wrestling. I would be more than happy to help with "In the case for" and "In the case against" stuff.
