[Hawk 34]

Roman Reigns vs. Gran Guerrero
I ACKNOWLEDGE HIM

Eddie Edwards vs. Takashi Sugiura
Eddie kinda rankles me.

Tommaso Ciampa vs. Shawn Spears
Spears landed Peyton Royce, a far greater accomplishment than an internet message board tournament. Ciampa defies logic and is still producing great work.

Edge vs. Jordan Blade
Never heard of the other guy and Edge is Edge.

Katsuhiko Nakajima vs. Butch
THE BEST THING IN THE BIZ

Jordynne Grace vs. Jeff Hardy
Not giving either of these two a vote.

Ace Austin vs. Rick Boogs
BOOOOOOOOGGS.

Austin Theory vs. Karrion Kross
Wow. It’s like voting for a president here, gotta choose which makes me hate myself less.

MJF vs. Kushida
Best promo today.

Angel de Oro vs. Matt Menard
Not enough coke in the world for my man

Trey Miguel vs. Rey Escorpion
Still a cool name.

Keith Lee vs. Yoh

Seth Rollins vs. Rohit Raju
*CACKLES*

Solo Sikoa vs. SB Kento
The family enforcer, ain’t gonna fuck with the family

Daniel Garcia vs. Dragon Dia

Christian Cage vs. Keiji Muto
One is a supreme legend the other is a old man who cuts great promos

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Roman Reigns- Great year for Roman
Takashi Sugiura- Eddie is terrible and Sugs is like the energizer bunny
Tommaso Ciampa- Spears has never done anything for me
Edge- continues to do solid work
Katsuhiko Nakajima- first tough vote as I love BUTCH, but Naka is one of the best in the world right now.
Jeff Hardy- I at least like Jeff at times.
Ace Austin- Ace was fun in BOSJ
Karrion Kross- His wife is hot.

MJF- Kushida doesn't have enough stuff this year for me to justify voting for him.
Matt Menard- This guy stole TK's coke stash and I am here for it
Rey Escorpion- no comments
Keith Lee- bad year for YOH and Lee is finally showing signs of life
Seth Rollins- I wish I had Seth's wardrobe.
SB Kento- Solo would get a stronger look next year but Kento had a good year
Dragon Dia- This was both guy's breakout year. I think Dia was just a bit better and in more things.
Christian Cage- This was probably Mutoh's best year in a long time but it still was tough to watch. Xtian is doing great mic work though and some solid inring when he isn't hurt.

 

[alkeiper]

Only three ties to break. Taking Ace Austin (local guy), Solo Sikoa and Daniel Garcia going ahead. Sorry CWM.
