Not going to win the poll, but goddamn have Prince Puma and Lucha Underground been good recently. They get my vote even over Brock.

The Intercontinental Title main evented Wrestle Kingdom in 2014. If the NXT Title main events Wrestlemania 31, we can pretend the situations are comparable.

That said, Hail Nakamura.

the IC title was not the main event of Wrestle Kingdom 8, Tanahashi was

You just can't accept that at FASTLANE the US Title will be elevated to main event status when John Cena and Rusev have a 30 minute classic as the Rocky theme blares. :colbert:

It's cool that perfectly sound arguments can be made for Tana, Shinsuke, or Lesnar this month.

Since then it was featured in the main event of several PPVs, including two in Sumo Hall and Tanahashi wasn't even involved in the latter of them.

I'd say include NXT on Takeover months.

It's all or nothing, which is (again!) the reason PWG doesn't feature in these monthly polls, they tend to go months with nothing happening with the Champion before they do something really tremendous and then disappear again for another 2-3 months. The NWA is becoming guilty of this as well, which is annoying.

I'll leave NXT out, based on what people are saying, but continue to include it in the yearly poll. If NXT does end up becoming its own touring brand (which I think is unlikely) then I'll reconsider at that point, but for now it stays off the poll. Thanks everybody for your input :)

I'd be fine with fluctuating polls where the Champion has to defend their title to be on the list. Months with neither NXT nor WWE champions would be interesting, then.

As it is, mods please change my vote for Brock to a vote for None of the Above

Put Sami Zayn in as the None of the Above option next month, watch it win

We wouldn't be even entertaining NXT as a possible choice if Bo Dallas was still champ.

It can have zombie Billy Robinson vs zombie Misawa and it would still be a developmental title. Noooooope. Bad post.

Last time I checked it's PSP's Pro-Wrestling Champion for <month> not World Champion for <month>

Having an extra row in the vote for NXT wouldn't hurt anybody. I know I'll be watching NXT Takeover a lot more closely than Fast Lane and Zayn/Owens is gonna be great.

It would be a crime for the PWG title to not make it into the poll while the NXT title does.

Please let me vote for Roddy Strong.

It's kind of pointless to include the PWG title in these polls because they don't run every month, and even when they do people don't actually see the match until the DVD ships a month later. You could make an argument for including it in February's poll, but then the only people who will have seen Roddy's defense are the ones who were there live.

Like me. :smug:

I just think that the NxT champion should be an option because they have cool as hell wrestlers doing awesome stuff which is all that really matters in this fake as hell sport.

Edit: I still would have voted for Nakamura even with Zayn as an option.

At this point TNA shouldn't even be in the poll because a good portion of their time the champion they have listed has already lost the belt.

Well you could also make a (bad) argument that you should include everyone who held the belt that month. The forum probably doesn't let you put enough options in a poll for that.

There's still time to vote if you haven't yet.

As an aside, I only just learned thanks to a recent Observer that the reason Rob Conway didn't defend his belt this month is because he had appendicitis. He's still going to be having a title defense in February anyway :stare:

2015 starts off with a Brock Lesnar win, going to show that when he's actually around he can be amazing, and that maybe they shouldn't just pretend like he doesn't exist when he isn't around. Nakamura and Tanahashi both also delivered MOTYCs in January, but Brock's apparently caught the imagination of more people. Whether he gets a vote in February given he seems to be absent again remains to be seen.
