I thought Roman got a huge pop coming out. Seems the fans are ready for their new messiah.

December Wrasslin' |OT| PUT A Z-PAK ON THE THREAD, PAL. YOU'RE WORKING TONIGHT
He's done the most work.Seth Rollins should have won superstar of the year
Everybody else in the company deserved it more then Reigns
I was watching this match and went, oh, cool, this match is pretty fun! Wonder how they are going to get out of pinning Flair WCW style in the heart of Flair country. Nattie can take an L, or maybe a weird Tyson Kidd DQ oh and then its over.
^^ Probably the only genuinely entertaining thing about WWE at the moment...
Just finished watching Devitt / Ibushi / Low Ki from WK7 during lunch - a rather awesome match. Low Ki did look quite boss in his suit.

Sandow going for that brass ring.
This is awesome. Pumped for it even more now.
That arena was half empty.
Vince killed wrestling and replaced it with this shit that nobody wants.

I fell asleep before that point.
Was this also up for voting on the WWE app?
The whole thing is obviously bullshit. It's clear all of these awards are worked.
They wouldn't have had Reigns show up if he wasn't going to win.
I'd like to see them carry the belts till the Rumble but I do think they need to start pushing Sandow against Miz now.

All of the winners were too convenient, there was little consistency for what was voted and you could still vote while the presenters were opening the envelopes. You'll never convince me it was legit.
But who cares it's just the Slammys that they literally care about for one night a year and rarely mention again.

i wouldn't say they're all worked, just superstar of the year, no real reason for them to rig the smaller ones
i'd kill to see miz treating his slammy awards like he won the oscars

They don't like reminding people about the man Vince killed.

This was at a later event.
My point is that they haven't cared since they revived the Slammys in like '08 or whatever it was. I get they used to care, but they used to care about booking a good television show too.
Sounds like Vince just couldn't resist doing his wrestler hometown bury, huh?

Might order Dragon Gate. Sounding pretty alright. There's just so much to watch.
Nominations for all the WrassleGAF Awards (Nominations, please don't be a person who goes "but I voted!" when you nominated) will be ready hopefully the day after NXT Takeover and will be open for a few days. If you miss it no big.
The actual voting will be after I compile the nominees.

No one really cared pre or post Owen. The only reason a Slammy means *anything* is because of Owen, imho. He put the award over more than anybody else.
They have a great opportunity with The Miz to do something cool with them, given his current character and who actually won the award. Hopefully they do.

I agree, Owen really brought prestige and meaning tot he Slammys. Punk tried to rekindle that when he was in the SES but it didn't really work out. Good times while it lasted though.
Dragon Gate is the only Japanese fed I like these days.
See you should be lucky they have such an awesome card away.

Why? Young folks? I like their vigor. They have a great roster that do good work. Usually and almost always an enjoyable watch.
Yep, it's mainly based on them always going all out. Plus the pedigree of the product as I'm a huge Ultimo Dragon mark.
It's like Lucha if Lucha was good.
He already did his Slammy schtik when he was with Morrison and it was pretty good.

Tokyo Sports announced their yearly awards - the 2014 MVP is, unsurprisingly, Hiroshi Tanahashi;
Okada vs Nakamura from the G1 Finals was voted match of the year, with 5 of the 7 matches nominated coming from New Japan. BxB Hulk of Dragon Gate won Technician of the Year, however, with AJ Styles coming in second place. Dangan Yankees were voted Tag Team of the Year, while Atsushi Onita was given the Fighting Spirit award. Tomohiro Ishii was given the Distinguished Service award while Rookie of the Year went to DDT's Saki Akai (pictured above with Tanahashi). Lastly, two Lifetime Achievement awards were given out to Akira Taue & Kensuke Sasaki who both retired within the last year.
What a glorious picture. Physique is fantastic as well. Should a been Ishii though.

I agree, but at the same time, I kind of feel like that's unfair because he did have all these new matchups, every single one was fresh - it's not Tanahashi's fault he's wrestled everyone, yknow. But it's a very contentious category. Many people did the best work of their lives this year.
If AJ stands for Tomohiro Ishii (dyslexia?), sure.

AJ was awesome in the G1 and had some great matches with Okada & Tanahashi outside of the tournament, so he's definitely up there. Ishii had a hell of a lot of great matches as well, though. I think Tanahashi got the MVP award because he continues to be 'The Man' for New Japan and the award generally goes to a top guy in the promotion. Styles was up for the Technician of the Year award though, surprised he didn't win over Hulk to be honest.
Anywho, love Shibata in this photo, he looks so pleased with himself;
Also, he insisted they donate their winnings to an earthquake relief charity, so you know he's a big softy at heart. Who kicks men's faces off.

"Doctor thumbs up" has some beauties... But yeah, AJ - drop the Clash. Bring back the Spiral Tap, if anything...
