Been meaning to start this for weeks but not been wanting to sit down and cobble together the list for it but hey, here we go! Doing this a little differently this time around; instead of just saying whether or not you're fan of someone, you're being asked to gauge how you feel about them between being strongly a fan, somewhat a fan, having no strong opinion, disliking them, or strongly disliking them. I don't know if it's a system I'll stick with going forward, but something relatively similar worked decently for the WrestleMania main event survey and it feels like this would give kind of a more vibrant picture of how people are perceived around FAN than the Yes / No / No Opinion format I've used before. The polling will remain open until May 21st sometime in the afternoon; that'll give me ample time to go through and compile everything before Double or Nothing. I haven't decided yet if I'll group everyone into what category they place highest in or if I'll assign some kind of scoring system; maybe will just do it both ways, that could be interesting and I can kind of see how to go about doing that. We'll see I suppose. But for now, here's the link - forms.gle/rWyh7KfjaD9zKRTU7Also, there won't be a detailed write-up of the results for this one, mostly because so much of it would just be, "Iiii dunno, this person's on Dark a lot, I've never seen them." Kind of a consequence of AEW's open system I guess; I tried to work in a lot of fairly frequent drop-in names but kind of just going off lists others were kind enough to give me since it's a little hard to discern who's actually part of the regular AEW pool going off just their roster page. Here's the link to last year's roster survey for anyone curious, which was topped by Chris Jericho - officialfan.proboards.com/thread/599892/aew-roster-survey-results-page

Just filled out my entry and I kept track of who I voted for what just since I've been wondering about posting a list of mine in the thread just to give something a little extra to talk about, but I wouldn't want to potentially sideline the thread into everyone posting their lists or something since it could kind of defeat the overall point of things if trends started to pop up and all that.
I wound up with 18 love, 44 like, 20 dislike, and 7 strongly dislike (plus a ton of no opinion ones), though a few of the dislikes came more out of, "I don't enjoy what they're doing," than anything and I could see them easily making the jump up under other circumstances. Also a lot of the people on the negative side of things are the ones who have a lot of baggage.
Think the person I struggled the most with was Darby, mostly on the basis of, "Like, f*** that guy, but damn he's fun to watch." I settled on like but I was kind of wavering between all five options.

What I'm most interested to see from this is the net gains and losses certain wrestlers have had in rollover years.
I have a sneaking suspicion the top spot is gonna change.

Will say one miraculous shift for me is that I kind of wavered between no opinion and dislike on Trent and Chunk when a year ago they would've been deeply in strong dislike.

So I clicked the link, and I immediately see Alan Angels, and I wasn't sure to click "Like" or "Strongly Dislike" because of his BTE character.

It's funny, I got to Jim Ross and had to pick "No Strong Opinion" due to it being in the middle, but it's more like "Strong opinions, both good and bad". Close enough.
I only had a couple of full-on Dislikes. I'm positive a couple of them have dropped down, but some definitely rose up.

I had very few dislikes and even fewer strongly dislikes.
I didn't vote dislike until Marko.

Looking at the results from last year it really is fascinating the 180 on the Dark Order in just a year.

It's funny, I mention not knowing anything about Reynolds and Silver, so they were "No Opinion", but I put "Love" for all of the Dark Order this time. Wouldn't be shocked if Luther gets much better results this go-round, and rightfully so. Sorry, Mel, you're still a Dislike/No.

Good change to format.
Some were really difficult, eg I like the Young Bucks in-ring but think they're mostly awful in other segments, so settled on no strong opinion on balance.

"Be Tall" was likely her job description, and on that front, she did that much, but she's unfortunately outlived her usefulness, which is probably why she hasn't had a match in a while.

All the Elite (apart from Nak, obviously) on the Strongly Dislike list for me. But especially the Local Brothers.

Honestly, a lot of no opinions, a lot of likes, a good portion of love (especially on the women's side, and probably around 5 to 6 dislikes. Interesting to note quite a few wrestlers have been downgraded since the last time I filled one out. Jim Ross especially for me. Most of the Elite are in that Like/Love range still. Best Friends are in the love category now, their matches over the last year has a lot to do with that I'm sure. Overall still a huge fan of the company and the roster.

Yeah, honestly, I'm very positive about the current women. I think the only Dislike I have is Shanna, and there are a lot of loves, like Abadon, Shida, and Statlander. Also, I think I was always somewhat positive about the Best Friends, but I definitely rate them way higher now than I used to. The parking lot brawl was fantastic, and I really loved the Arcade match, too.

Man I don't know who a lot of these guys are. Probably because I just watch Dynamite. So a lot of No Opinions for me.

My responses are all over the place. You'll be surprised at the Loves and Dislikes I gave.
But I gave mostly No Opinion to the Dark jobbers.

Not bad turnout thus far - last year's got 94 votes and right now this one's at 46. Not bad for like two days.
Looking over the results thus far I'm kind of realizing a key flaw in the idea of sorting people into where they're strongest; there's one person, I'm not going to say who, who has zero love votes and nearly 50% dislike or strongly dislike plus over 25% no strong opinion, but the area they're voted most in is like. Sorting them into like makes it look like they're highly regarded when the results taken as a whole don't actually play that out. Given that I'll probably be doing the scoring thing for sorting these, it kind of paints a more accurate picture.
