Posted December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824551 So far so good on these topics. I am expecting less about this one but we will see. Not even sure what a front runner for WWE looks like. Same for NJPW I guess. My vote would be for wXw AMBITION if I was shooting off the cuff. Great tournament. Moved at a good clip. Sort of wish there was a fun superfight to break things up. No wrestler put in a bad shift. LET ME HERE YOUR CONTENDERS FOR SHOW OF THE YEAR 2017!
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824556 Some contenders: Wrestle Kingdom: First half has the Young Bucks vs Roppongi Vice tag which is good and then the second half at the very least has four compelling matches for the New Japan faithful and a majority of casual fans alike. EVOLVE 77: Really the last glory day of EVOLVE as one of the best promotions in the world IMO. A wonderful mix of styles from the Hero farewell to the Riddle/DUSTIN street fight. No match on this show was ranked less than ***1/4 for me. DDT Judgement: The biggest show in their history and they delivered an array of every facet that makes the promotion tick capping in the best match within the promotion in 2017 NXT Takeover: Wargames : Even though the Wargames match itself wasn't my cup of tea, it still was a big time spectacle and the card again had very little fat to it.
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824558 Ultima Lucha Tres. (yeah, it was taped in 2016, I KNOW, but it's still a 2017 TV show) : cool booking, a bunch of crazy matches.
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824559 Takeover Brooklyn gets my vote based on just watching the Takeovers and WWE ppvs. War Games was very good too. I know I enjoyed a lot of the WWE shows but damn if i can recall any specific one off the top of my head. I remember the horrible bloated ones more
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824566 Top 5 probably goes wXw AMBITION 8 EVOLVE 79 ATTACK! Thank God It's (Not) WinterSlam NJPW New Beginning In Osaka NJPW in Long Beach Night 2
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824567 I'd go Takeover: Brooklyn - partially biased by being there live, but it was such a great night, everything delivered, Asuka-Moon was so great live. Big fan of Shug's Hoose Party Night 2 from ICW. CMLL had a fun Anniversario even though it didn't have marquee matches. OTT had some of the most fun shows of the year to watch.
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824569 NJPW Dominion NXT Takeover: WarGames NJPW King of Pro Wrestling Wrestlemania Royal Rumble NXT Takeover: Chicago Wrestle Kingdom Great Balls of Fire Ultima Lucha Tres (taped in 2016 but aired this year) NJPW Power Struggle NXT Takeover: San Antonio
December 19, 20177 yr comment_5824593 Second night of the UK title tournament is really, really high for me.
December 19, 20177 yr comment_5824595 I loved NJPW Wrestle Kingdom, NXT TakeOver: Chicago & the WWE UK Title Tournament on WWE Network. If I just have to pick one show it's easily Wrestle Kingdom for me though.
