Since we are near the end of the year, it's that time where we take a look back and remember some of the best and worst moments of pro wrestling (at least in WWE and TNA). I did this last year and I had a lot of fun putting it together, so decided to do it again. Of course, I need to explain a few things since there was a lot of confusion in last year's nomination list. Then again, it was also my fault for not explaining things better. How this works is people will get a chance to cast their vote for who they feel is worthy of winning the award. I will also list my choices for the winners of these awards in the process. There will basically be two winners, my choices for these awards and the vast majority of what the fans/readers choose. There might be some similarities between me and the vast majority, but there could be some differences, but I also think that's what makes this intriguing. Voting will be opening between now and January 1, 2012. I also ask when you vote, please keep the voting on the page (via the comments) where the categories are listed. When I have to go back and read the results, it would make it easier on myself to get a good compilation. You can also email your votes in case you feel embarrassed listing them in the comment section. It would also be nice for people to explain why they're making their choice. Again, that adds to the fun in all of this since it gets the debate going. Please only vote ONE TIME per category so it can be fair for everyone else who votes. I do post at other locations and realize there can be some people stashing the votes, but please do not or else it takes the fun out of it. I want to try an award show that gets some fan interaction, so people have a chance to launch their opinions and I get to list my choices in the process. When I release the winners of the awards, I will go into detail on why I included so and so in a category and explain my winner, but the fan's choice will also be released at the same time, so that should make it a little more interesting. Anyway, let's have some fun with this award show and let;s hope it does better than last year.
MAJOR UPDATE AS OF 12/24/11
I have created an online survey. This will make it easier for people to vote since it's all done with a click as opposed to listing a bunch of names and stuff. For everyone who has voted, I have already recorded you votes in the poll. Thank you and enjoy.

Correct me if I'm voting the wrong way please.
ReplyDelete- Cody Rhodes ( Cuz, he won at WM27 and really got noticed around that time)
- Crimson ( Cuz, he has a undefeated streak, Brodus hasn't debuted yet, and Sin Cara had injuries)
- Alberto Del Rio ( I know a lot of people are gonna vote Cm Punk, but I choose Del Rio, Cuz he won the biggest RR in history, main evented at WM27, won MITB and became WWE Champion in the same year)
- Robert Roode ( Cuz he became TNA champ, and got noticed,( at least in TNA))
- Beth Pheonix/ Natalya ( The other divas/KOs haven't done much, but the Divas of Doom, did attract a little attention)
- AirBoom ( Cuz, they became tag champs, and the other three didn't do much, except for Awesome Truth, but their purpose was outside of the tag team division)
- WWE Money In The Bank ( Hands down the best PPV of 2011. The MITB matches, WHC match, and definantly the Cena/CM Punk match made this the best PPV)
- Drew McIntyre ( Definantly Drew, since I only remember seeing him once in 2011 vs Randy Orton not too long ago )
- Wade Barrett ( I think he's the closest to geting a WHC oppurtunity out of all of them, considering his rivalry with Randy orton)
- Orton/Christian ( This rivalry lasted the longer than the others and their matches were mostly incredible )
- R-Truth ( Considering his position before his conspiracy gimmick, definantly R-Truth )
- Garrett/Eric Bishoff ( pointless waste of time feud, nuff said )
- Immortal ( Lasting WAY too long, and they're just really boring, same stuff every week, talk sh*t, sneak attack, heel promo, repeat )
- Drew McIntyre ( same reason above )
- Undertaker vs. Triple H WM 27
- CM Punk worked shoot ( This promo had the most impact out of all the other promos )
- Sting vs. Jeff hardy 90sec match ( HUGE embarassing moment for TNA/Jeff hardy)
- CM Punk vs. John Cena MITB ( Hands, down the best match of 2011, period)
- CM Punk leaves WWE w/ WWE Championship ( This storyline interested the most people, and really got people anxious about what was gonna happen next )
- R-Truth ( the others, were just kinda annoying, and there to waste time, while I found R-Truth actually hilarious )
I didn't include my vote for "worst PPV of 2011", because it's a tie between all the TNA PPV's listed.
ReplyDeleteThat is the appropriate way to vote, but it would help to list the category and then the choice. Then again, I can piece it together by just looking at the nomination list and going down the column. It just makes it easier to track the votes, but this is how I want people to vote.
ReplyDeleteMan, you really must hate Jinder Mahal. He's up for three of the negative categories, LOL!!!. Can people vote for someone/segment that's not listed?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I probably went a little overboard with Jinder Mahal, but the guy really made no impact this year and it should be noted.
ReplyDeleteAs far as voting for someone that I didn't list, I am okay with that. I am aware that I might have missed a thing or two, but there was a lot of stuff to go through in order to break it down. Just as long as you keep in between WWE and TNA and make a strong argument for a particular nomination, I might go back and include it on the list. You're free to vote for something I may have overlooked or forgot about, but I hope there's not too much change since I think I got a good chunk of the good/bad stuff for this year lol.

ReplyDeleteJinder Mahal is the reason i watch wrestling every week. The man is absolute class, the complete wrestler and cuts the best promo's. The most eloquent professional in wrestling today. The best of all time.
