for how much it sucks that they've decided Roman Reigns is going to be The Guy forever it was extremely well booked to accomplish their goals and is, at very least, the best face vs face feud the WWE has done since Bryan v. Cena

john cena gathered everyone on the ramp and said daniel bryan works very hard and deserves a title shot and then daniel bryan alienated his friends with insecure ramblings about being the weakest link

match was dope though

Roman Reigns put up a good effort, but Naito remains Rowdy Ringsports' favorite pro-wrestling Champion for a second month in a row, continuing the shut-out for WWE Champs this year.

# of different champs by year

8 - 2011, 2015 (counting no champ)
7 - 2014
6 - 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010
5 - 2006, 2013
4 - 2012, 2016

Longest consecutive run as champ - 6 (Okada Oct 2013-Mar 2014)
Longest run with different champ - 7 (None/Shingo/Lethal/Okada/Omega/Matanza/Naito Oct 2015-April 2016)

- WWE, who has clearly dominated the poll in the past decade, hasn't won Champ of the Month in the last 12 polls (Seth Rollins, May 2015)
- Twice wrestlers who haven't been voted Champ of the Month have won Champ of the Year (Takeshi Morishima 2006, Bayley 2015)
- Despite voting Bayley Champ of 2015, you misogynistic jerks have never voted a woman Champ of the Month, and you even had a chance with Charlotte in the poll. This would change if Sasha captures the women's belt but she never will because she's held together with duct tape and sass. 2016 is the year of misandry so I hope you all die alone and unloved.

Bayley being champion of the year last year is one of the few bright spots in this hosed gay earth, I hope this helps

To be fair, early results are skewed towards WWE because a lot of people couldn't access other promotions as easily or as regularly at the time. For most other promotions that didn't have regular TV deals, it was still pre-widespread high quality streaming from regular sources, and before a lot of today's social media existed (or at least in its current form). I'm even kind of surprised Danielson and Morishima got in there when they did.

I find it kind of crazy that the only TNA Champions to get the win are Austin Aries and Bully Ray, both of whom we're voted in long after most people on this forum considered TNA technically dead and buried even if they hadn't yet lost Spike TV. I guess it goes to show just how dire the booking and weekly TV were for guys like AJ, Samoa Joe, Sting and Angle during the mid-to-late-aughts.

it is especially hilarious that john cena has not won a single month, but then again most people only started actually liking him once he stopped touching the belt

I don't remember anyone being quite as beloved as Danielson during his ROH title run, people were going loving crazy over him (with good reason!). Closest I can think of in recent times is Okada during 2013.

It's entirely believeable that Roman Reigns for the rest of the year. And if they don't make a second championship (which I think they said they wouldn't?) then no WWE win this year.
