Analysis by Chris Harrington (chris.harrington@gmail.com) WRESTLING OBSERVER AWARDS - TOP FIVE FINISHERS FOR ROOKIE OF THE YEAR TOP FIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AVERAGE AGE BY BREAKOUT REGION Notes136 of 148 Rookie's ages were available. Missing Age for: Jack Victory (1985), Billy Black (1990), Blitzkrieg (1999), Frightmare (2009), KGB (1995), Amasis (2008), Angelo Mosca Jr (1983), Duane Koslowski (1993), Larry Oliver (1990), Obariyan (2011), Saturyne (2012) and Todd Morton (1988). Region was determined by major break-out federation (i.e. La Sombra was Mexico, Chris Sabin was North America, Koji Kitao was Japan.). In some cases wrestlers may have trained in one country and broke out in another one. For instance American wrestlers like KGB (Tom Howard) & Rey Mysterio Jr had their "break-out" year in Mexico or Bob Sapp and Salman Hashimikov big year in Japan. MMA is often interchangable with Japan in these situations with Bob Sapp, Volk Han and others. Among the North American rookies, there is a slight trend towards younger rookies, especially in the post-WCW era. North American Rookies 1986-1990: 27.0 1991-1995: 27.7 1996-2000: 26.7 2001-2005: 24.2 2006-2010: 25.7 2011-2012: 24.1 Youngest RookiesTonga Kid (18.2) Rey Misterio Jr (18.1) Sugar Sato (18.1) Perro Aguayo Jr (16.5) Ken Doane (18.8) Katsuhiko Nakajima (16.8) La Sombra (18.2) Dinastia (18.5) Oldest RookiesSavannah Jack (39) Ricky Rice (37.1) Larry Cameron (37.2) Salman Hashimikov (36.7) Diamond Dallas Page (36.8) 911 (38) BEST RANK FOR FUTURE SUCCESSLooking at 21 years (1986-2006), the rank that had the most significant positive awards (see below for list) was first place (12 years), 5th place (5 years), 2nd and 3rd place (3 years) and 4th place (2 years). In this timeframe, 2000 was the only real swing & a miss with no real break out stars earning additional awards. 2007-2011 has been virtually empty was the exception of Archibald Peck getting a 2011 nod for "2nd Best Gimmick". 2012 finishers have yet to score either, but it's common since that was their "rookie" year. 1980-1985 was not included in this calculation because we have less than 5 finishers on record for those years. On average, if a wrestler is going to finish in the top five for a significant award, it usually happens within 2-3 years if it happens at all. Longest time for next significant recognition was Perro Aguayo Jr (10 years; 2005-2007 awards), Shane Douglas (7 years; 1994-1997 awards), Brad Armstrong (6 years; 1987-1991 awards), Barry Windham (8 years, 1988 award), The Giant (13 years; 2009 & 2012 awards), Ryusuke Taguchi (6 years, 2009-2011 awards), Tamon Honda (9 years, 2003 award).
