MVP: Kazuchika Okada
BEST BOUT: Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kota Ibushi - August 4th
BEST TAG TEAM: TMDK (Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls)
DISTINGUISHED SERVICE: KENTA
FIGHTING SPIRIT: Daisuke Sekimoto
TECHNICAL: Masato Yoshino
ROOKIE/NEWCOMER: Konosuke Takeshita
JOSHI: Meiko Satomura
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT: Kenta Kobashi
The only award I could really argue is Joshi - Satomura had a good year, but I felt Kana evolved her character and shook things up this year, including taking the JWP Openweight Title. I thought U-T in Dragon Gate would have a shot for the Rookie award, but Takeshita has progressed well this year too. Everything else is a good fit, although I personally felt Nakamura/Ibushi wasn't the best match on the show it was on (Ishii/Shibata), it was still ****3/4 and truly amazing.
