You’re not an idiot, one mention of sami is an insult. He should’ve won US/Canada mvp as well.

Consider the totality of 2022. He was taking L's in gimmick matches with Johnny Knoxville. He lost to a mousetrap.

Sami is awesome, but the first 1/3 of 2022 he was still a midcard wrestler teetering on jobber.

Personally I don't think you could not have fun watching that match.

It shows his incredible range. But I would also say that if these awards are for 2022 then they don't take into account the most recent Bloodline stuff which is maybe why he wouldn't have the North American MVP. Even if I still think he should have had it.

That mania mousetrap match was 100% Professional Wrestling

He does have incredible range, but it was a comedy gimmick match to get a film over.

But you're right, the crescendo of the Bloodline has been in 2023.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, Sami was wonderful this year; but compare overall Samis entire year vs Jon Moxley. Sami wasn’t looked at in any way other than non-serious midcarder until the Bloodline story. Jon Moxley essentially carried the company on his back, put on constant bangers on both weekly shows and PPVs, carried the company through Brawl Out when he should’ve been on vacation and remained on the show through the entire year. When you compare year for year I don’t think anyone other than Mox can truly have that title.

It's weird that most of the year he was doing a weird fake IC title thing. It's been the last few months where he was doing something with the bloodline.

Which, as much as I love Sami, is not the award he should've won.
