All my votes for Mason Ryan were not counted. I demand a recount.

I’m really surprised that it’s been 24 years. Surely even in its worst years when there was no competition that surely be default they’d have to win a couple of times so I looked them up and a few years UFC or Pride won it…..They that desperate not to give it to the WWE that they gave it to non wrestling promotions lol

Just seen the infamous Tyrus v EC3 match that somehow didn't win Worst Match of the Year and I am now forced to retrospectively add star ratings to the Kennel from Hell, the Flair Hogan first blood match and every Miz match ever...to regain quality perspective.

I’m surprised Tiffany Stratton did not even make the Top 5 for Most Improved? She improved but she also started the year in a solid place and didn't do as much towards the end of the year due to injuries.

Listened to the (very long) recap show with Garrett and Dave yesterday, and they were both unanimous in saying Booker was deserving of Worst Announcer.
Garrett said (paraphrasing) "I respect Booker as a wrestler, as a person, but I was not a fan of his announcing." I think Meltzer also said it seemed to him like Booker didn't prep or know enough about the wrestlers.
I wonder how much of that is character-related and how much is legit. Like I think Booker acting silly is his thing, he's been doing it since his early days on commentary, even back to TNA. He seems a lot more subdued and knowledgeable about the NXT talent on his podcast.
As much as I am okay with Booker, I wonder how long it'll be before CM Punk is on color commentary on Tuesdays. Byron hasn't exactly set the world on fire in Booker's absence (plus I like Byron way more as a ring announcer and backstage personality).
They also seemed confused as to why Julia Hart placed above Dominik Mysterio in Most Improved. Dave went on for a few minutes about why he disagreed, but I'm totally cool with Julia winning (plus Dom already started improving in the latter half of 2022, if that makes sense).
Meltzer was super, super high on Dom, like I've never heard him this complimentary. He feels Dom is already at superstar status (or at least really close). I hate to make a Guerrero comparison again, but I'd say he's in between shy babyface '95 Eddie and ultra-heel '98 Eddie mode right now. He's closer to the latter than the former, though. I remember despising Eddie's character as a kid, I can't imagine what kids think of Dom right now.
Anyway, I agree with most of these choices, though I'd rank Omega/Ospreay rematch higher (only because I was there in person lol)

Dave speculated that Tyrus vs. EC3 didn’t win WMOTY because not enough people had seen it. He said he himself hasn’t seen the match but just based on the clips he has seen it easily could’ve won.
