STABLE MVP

This category reflects the manager who made the most significant contributions to their stable in 2025.

 

FRANK BELCHER (CURE)

CURE finished #3 in the stable rankings while sporting an average roster of about ~ 56% the size of the #1 stable.  Frank was not only the leader of CURE, but also served as the heartbeat of the multi-man titles that his stable won (the stable as a whole collected points for 1x World Tag, 2x US Tag, and 1x US Six without Frank).  He also added plenty of singles points finishing #6 in the IWA in that category.  Frank is also known for providing hold value insights to his fellow teammates on a regular basis.

 

BRAD NORMAN (EDGE)

Brad has long-considered to be one of the core members of EDGE, regularly boosting morale and comradery within the stable.  He was central again this year in providing multi-man hits for the group as well as adding singles points through his #11 singles ranking.
  
 

SOLOMON SHAW (SOS)

 Arguably one of the best pure strategists in the game, Sol finished #2 in the singles rankings this year, delivering a plethora of points to SOS en route to their record-breaking season.  He was also a major cog in some of the multi-man teams that made this year possible.

 

TOMMY ZULU (~TZ~) (EDGE)

 Tommy's record-breaking year helped keep EDGE alive in the stable race the first part of the year.  He contributed plenty of singles points with his #3 singles rankings, but his multi-man contributions seemed to be on auto-pilot.  In men's multi's, EDGE collected points for only 1 World Tag, 5 US Tags, and 2 US Six-Mans more than what ~TZ~ hauled in.
