Not enough Japanese fans watch WWE to vote her in but she's probably done more for her division than anyone else. She practically saved Bayleys career too.

Iyo was a finalist for the ShuPro one and she wanted to win it because the Male and Female winners get a cover together and she wanted to show off the WWE title next to whoever won the male award and make history.

The Tokyo Sports one that Tam just won is the one chosen by the magazine. Iyo has won both 3 times I think

That was a great match, especially the callbackrinos to Muta's iconic matches like the Inoki match and the Hogan match. But personally, I'd have picked Muto vs Chono.

>By far
First off, he's unironically an anti-draw, which is relevant
Secondly, the votes usually have kayfabe implications too. Ospreay did very good but he got injured out of the NJC and lost in the G1 finals. Not to mention it's already been announced he's cutting his cock off, which will have some impact.
I'd personally vote Ospreay because he had a great match with Shota, Tsuji and Naito, but Okada, Takagi and even Shota/Tsuji are very defensible votes as well.

>First off, he's unironically an anti-draw, which is relevant
if he were he wouldn't be in the main event or semi main of every ppv. NJPW itself is in shambles post-covid, they lost every ounce of mainstream momentum they had. ospreay is just one of the guys keeping it afloat. also, he's beloved by japanese fans. source: me, who knows many japanese fans
>Secondly, the votes usually have kayfabe implications too.
then there is zero reason for naito to win. he did NOTHING all year besides wrestle muto and win the G1 (and that's fine because he's sawdusted). if you're going to take kayfabe into account the only strong cases are SANADA (kek) and ospreay, who has made the US championship a main event caliber title.

there is no other logical choice but ospreay for MVP, but it doesn't matter because they don't give the award to foreigners.
>Not to mention it's already been announced he's cutting his cock off, which will have some impact.
this should be irrelevant if they were serious awards, which they obviously aren't.

It’s disappointing that junior heavyweight fans couldn’t have the same joy they would have experienced 41 years ago when the original Tiger Mask took the MVP award.
>But what meaning we can take from this, losing the MVP award is that there’s still a lot to do for the junior heavyweights to be considered on that level by the mainstream. This writer feels like Hiromu has spent a whole year acting with the future of junior heavyweight wrestling in mind, and given energy by his great fans. Thank you Hiromu! Take pride, but humility, Hiromu! God speed, Hiromu!’
