2018: 06-22 L.A. Park vs Rush
There’s a problem with this award. 8 different people voted for Barbaro Cavernario versus Fenix as their first place match without indicating which of the two matches they meant, and people did that down ballot as well. If all of those went towards the November match, that would’ve been the first place winner. If I split them among the two, it wouldn’t change the order. I’ve left it as a separate line.
I’ve also left in some matches that I don’t really think count but don’t really affect the voting in a meaningful fashion.
