What are you even talking about?

those guys are huge name part timers and the award makes more sense for actual full time guys

 

[DMczaf]

The deadly Falling Nothing maneuver !!!

 

[Lightning Count]

Tag team of the year - The Revival.

These guys are an example of how tag team wrestling should be, I would say with the exception of Takeover Dallas, these guys stole the show every time in NXT this year.

The last real Heels alive

Everyone wants to be the cool Heel like nwo.

None of those guys would have won the award but being a part timer shouldn't stop someone from being wrestler of the year.

 

[Bronx-Man]

If Miz doesn't win Shooter of the Year, these awards are a sham.

 

[Zach]

Nice of you to stop by, Bronx-Man.

You guys wanna explain this Deacon Batista business?

 

[Lightning Count]

Also fuck the haters despite the fact TNA is a never ending trainwreck, Matt Hardy has to win gimmick and feud of the year.

He took a batshit insane idea and made it work and got it over huge.

 

[Professor Beef]

It's the start of the career of a great man.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

You guys wanna explain this Deacon Batista business?

WWE brought up "young stud" (well in his 30s at the time) Batista and his first gimmick was co-priest with Devon Dudley (fresh off splitting with Bubba)

There's like three different bad ideas right there. Batista deserving better than WWE wasn't a new 2010s concept, it's been needed from the start

 

[avengers23]

AJ and Omega have definitely both had great years, but Hero had an amazing year - really hard to argue with the sheer number of top-quality matches he was involved in, with big and small names alike.

Hero had one of those Hall of Fame years, like Danielson's 2006 or Samoa Joe's 2004.

TNA has been more consistently entertaining than any other weekly wrestling show this year other than maybe SD.

Luckily he got brought into Evolution, which led to one of the most memorable face turns.

Rusev couldn't pull the trigger.

Shooter guy Glenn!

Funny story I'm reminded of when thinking of Deacon Batista's attire, when he was in OVW he was told to buy a suit so big Dave splashed what little funds he had on a spiffing suit only to then find out he had to rip the sleeves off for the leviathan character they then gave him.

At least he got paid back in spades with his many slick suits from his Smackdown WHC days.

Hideki Suzuki sends his regards.

Oh my Zach, testify.

Will we ever see long term booking with a satisfying ending like that again in WWE? One of my all time favorite storylines.

Daniel Bryan at WM30 is hard to top in terms of emotional payoff.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Are you kidding me?

First thing that came to mind

 

[Uno Venova]

Daniel Bryan at WM30 is hard to top in terms emotional payoff.

Even though it wasn't really intended, yeah, can't forget this one.

 

[Into the Light]

looks like herb dean was the ref

LMFAO.

WWE actually has a comic coming out in Jan with the 1st issue having variant covers like this:

 

[Lightning Count]

I want a poster version of that Sasha Banks cover, beautiful artwork.

 

[Nocturnowl]

I bet the reverse of that Banks cover is her dropping the belt instantly.

 

[British Monsoon]

 

[Lightning Count]

Damn, I winced seeing that, hopefully no long term damage was done.

Audrey Mok did that cover. They also have one of Cesaro swinging 1980's Ric Flair:

Also, a WWE magazine variation with the New Day:

 

[Damn Silly]

I'M ALIVE!

Internet's been dead due to what is apparently a country-wide fuck up by Virgin.

Anything interesting happen with Smackdown last night?

Just watched it. Watch it. It was a fun episode. Better than Roadblock.

 

[British Monsoon]

Actually, I think that might've been the bump that began SUWA's long line of neck injuries over the next 15 years, which ultimately forced him to retire.

Shooter guy Glenn!

Gatling Gun Glenn

 

[DMczaf]

Does Kane have a license to carry ?

 

[Data West]

Shooting rubber bullets is about as much a shoot as 'This is Phil Brooks talking to Paul Levesque'

 

[UrbanDandy]

I think Cesaro would have SOTY locked. His talk about he doesn't care about Stephanie during the draft was on point.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Brother that was real

 

[Professor Beef]

Guaranteed that was pre-approved before he even got to the arena.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Gatling Gun Glenn

Ah, excellent.

Shooting rubber bullets is about as much a shoot as 'This is Phil Brooks talking to Paul Levesque'

He still has respect for human life, what a guy!

 

[wild wild rice]

Guaranteed that was pre-approved before he even got to the arena.

Then Miz is disqualified as well.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Then Miz is disqualified as well.

Fight the good fight, brother!

 

[Man God]

Umm, Miz ethering D-Bry to death? Pick one.

I wonder if he did the razor one I have as well.

2016!
