Re: 2018 Wrestling Observer Awards
Golden Lovers didn't even wrestle as a team that often! Omega getting so many votes in the American MVP section is also BS because he didn't wrestle in the US that much.
And do these idiots realize that "USADA's handling of Jon Jones' case" isn't a f*cking PROMOTIONAL TACTIC?!
KUSHIDA receiving that many votes as non-heavyweight MVP is shocking to me, simply because I barely remember him doing anything this year after the Ospreay match in May. Scurll, Ishimori, Cedric Alexander, and especially Mustafa Ali and Buddy Murphy all leap out at me as better choices.
