Lou Thesz/Ric Flair Award (Wrestler of the Year)
2009 Chris Jericho World Wrestling Entertainment - This is fair, but I'm not sure if he qualifies for wrestler of the year exactly.

Most Outstanding Wrestler
2009 Bryan Danielson Ring of Honor (that's the 4th year in a row) - This guy sucks. Hardly anyone knew him back then and most outstanding wrestler? Come on.

Feud of the Year
2009 Jeff Hardy vs. CM Punk World Wrestling Entertainment - It was pretty good, maybe there was a better feud, but I can't think of anything really. Actually now that I think about it, Orton vs. McMahons was pretty good.

Tag Team of the Year
2009 The American Wolves Ring of Honor - don't know who they are.
(Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards)

Most Improved
2009 The Miz World Wrestling Entertainment (the 2nd year running) - I agree with this one.

Best on Interviews
2009 Chris Jericho World Wrestling Entertainment (2nd year running 3rd appearance) - Agree with this one too.

Most Charismatic
2009 John Cena World Wrestling Entertainment (4th year in a row) - As much as I don't want to agree with this, it's 100% accurate when it all comes down to it.

Best Technical Wrestler
2009 Bryan Danielson Ring of Honor (5th year running) - Uh, no.

Bruiser Brody Memorial Award (Best Brawler)
2009 Necro Butcher Ring of Honor/CZW (2nd year running) - Who?

Best Flying Wrestler
2009 Kota Ibushi Dramatic Dream Team - who?

Most Overrated
2009 Triple H World Wrestling Entertainment (4th appearance) - I think this award should go to Bryan Daniels.

Most Underrated
2009 Evan Bourne World Wrestling Entertainment - Plenty of other underrated wrestlers out there.

Promotion of the Year
2009 Ultimate Fighting Championship (they should keep mma and wrestling separate ) - Now we've jumped to MMA, great. If we include MMA, then yes UFC wins.

Best Weekly Television Show
2009 World Wrestling Entertainment: Friday Night Smackdown - I'm sorry but Smackdown flat out sucks.

Match of the Year
2009 The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels World Wrestling Entertainment WrestleMania XXV - Agreed.

Rookie of the Year
2009 Frightmare CHIKARA - Who?

Best Non-Wrestler
2009 Vickie Guerrero World Wrestling Entertainment - Okay, no opinion.

Best Television Announcer
2009 Jim Ross World Wrestling Entertainment (13th appearance) - Sure

Worst Television Announcer
2009 Michael Cole World Wrestling Entertainment (2nd appearance) - Who cares really

Best Major Show
2009 Open the Historic Gate Dragon Gate USA - What??

Worst Major Wrestling Show
2009 Victory Road Total Nonstop Action Wrestling - I believe this was pretty bad, but I've seen worse that year.

Best Wrestling Maneuver
2009 The Young Bucks More Bang For Your Buck CHIKARA/Dragon Gate USA/Pro Wrestling Guerrilla/Ring of Honor - What?

Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic
2009 Michelle McCool exploits Mickie James' supposed weight issues World Wrestling Entertainment - I guess

Worst Television Show
2009 TNA Impact (3rd year running)

Worst Worked Match of the Year
2009 Jenna Morasca vs. Sharmell Total Nonstop Action Wrestling Victory Road - Yeah this one really did stink it up.

Worst Feud of the Year
2009 Hornswoggle vs. Chavo Guerrero World Wrestling Entertainment - Anything with Hornswoggle in general.

Worst Promotion of the Year
2009 Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (3rd year running) - Sorry, ROH gets the nod.

Best Gimmick
2009 CM Punk World Wrestling Entertainment Straight edge Messiah - It's a good gimmick, but it hardly qualifies for the best in the year. Again, another case of internet fans trying to project their opinion has renowned fact.

Worst Gimmick
2009 Hornswoggle World Wrestling Entertainment Irish leprechaun
List = trash. All Credibility lost.

[Ermaximus]

Sounds about right. Minus Cena being the most charasmatic.

[screech]

List = trash. All Credibility lost.

:wtf:

I usually don't care for Observer, but the list isn't bad.

[Ruien]

Best Technical Wrestler
2009 Bryan Danielson Ring of Honor (5th year running)

:rofl: I was trying to find out if this was serious or not, then this poped up.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I thought the Piggy James angle was great, but other than that I agree with everything else.

[kareru]

List = trash. All Credibility lost.


do you watch any wrestling outside the wwe?

[jskinnyg]

This list is pretty dead on... PullMyFinger... Get off yer butt and show us your list... You got me curious now...

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Tag Team of the Year
2009 The American Wolves Ring of Honor - don't know who they are.
(Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards)

Bruiser Brody Memorial Award (Best Brawler)
2009 Necro Butcher Ring of Honor/CZW (2nd year running) - Who?

Best Wrestling Maneuver
2009 The Young Bucks More Bang For Your Buck CHIKARA/Dragon Gate USA/Pro Wrestling Guerrilla/Ring of Honor - What?







Worst Promotion of the Year
2009 Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (3rd year running) - Sorry, ROH gets the nod.




Hmm, you don't know who these ROH wrestlers are, yet apparently you watch ROH enough to know that it's the worst promotion in America.


Now I may not be some fancy big city lawyer, but it seems to me that what we have here is your classic example of an "I'm full of shit" post.

[Ruien]

Explain how Daniel Bryan is the BEST technical wrestler? PLEASE?!?!?!?!?

[Dave Youell]

Explain how Daniel Bryan is the BEST technical wrestler? PLEASE?!?!?!?!?

How many matches have you seen of him last year? The guy is amazing.

I can't dissagree with most of what's on that list

[VSG]

Explain how Daniel Bryan is the BEST technical wrestler? PLEASE?!?!?!?!?

Well his Omoplata crossface on Raw last night was good enough for me. Remember there are definitely better technicians out there, but you need the tv exposure to be counted too.

[Rammsteinmad]

Why is there so many awards? Seriously I lost interest halfway down the list. The only ones that really matter are the basics such as wrestler/match/event/most improved etc.

[Joesgonnakillyou]

The Bryan Danielson backlash is boring now. He's a great technical wrestler. You really can't take that away from him

[Steveviscious89]

This is like me putting together an awards list...and it has about the same meaning as well.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

[James Steele]

The UFC and Puro cock-sucking is horrible, and what is with all the Triple H hate? Is it 2003 again?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

What puro cock sucking are you talking about? One Japanese wrestler won an award.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I don't really see why UFC is even involved here. It's not like they're going to have a tag team of the year.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Hmm, probably shouldn't have WWE on here either then.


oh yeah

[Next Big Thing]

Most Improved
2009 The Miz World Wrestling Entertainment (the 2nd year running)

If you win "most improved" two years in a row doesn't that call into question whether you really improved the first year you won it?

[James Steele]

What puro cock sucking are you talking about? One Japanese wrestler won an award.

The top ten lists featured several Japanese wrestlers.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hmm, probably shouldn't have WWE on here either then.


oh yeah

I see what you did there.

Most Improved
2009 The Miz World Wrestling Entertainment (the 2nd year running)

If you win "most improved" two years in a row doesn't that call into question whether you really improved the first year you won it?

No. It just means he improved even more. Stop hating.

[James Steele]

Really? Is Yamato really more charismatic than Chris Jericho?

[owenbrown]

How is John Cena NOT on the most overrated list?

[The Show Off]

Explain how Daniel Bryan is the BEST technical wrestler? PLEASE?!?!?!?!?

You're right it should have been Nigel McGuinness he put on far better matches...

Nigel/KENTA (7th Anniversary)
Nigel/Lynn (when Lynn won the title)
Nigel/Strong (Final Countdown Tour)
Nigel/Danielson (GBH 8)
Wolfe/Angle (Turning Point)
Wolfe/Angle (Final Resolution) <-----this match alone should get him the win.

But Danielson is pretty great too.

[Destor]

way the danilson anti-marks are saying he isnt among the very best technical wrestlers in the world today? lol. wow.

[Skippord]

my only problem is that they should keep the UFC and Pro Wrestling stuff separate

[Zeeboe]

Best Non-Wrestler
2009 Vickie Guerrero World Wrestling Entertainment

:roll: Retards.

I will never understand why anyone gives a damn about that fat & ugly cunt with no mic skills and a voice that sounds like she has a cock in it. Do people like her because her husband is worm food? I truly believe so. If her husband wasn't fucking dead, that bitch wouldn't be given the time of day.


"Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic

1. PIGGY JAMES ANGLE 166
2. Vickie Guerrero being called a pig 109"

Aww, yeah. Let's all feel sorry for the bitch now. I'd have to agree somewhat with this though. Calling her nasty-ass a "pig" is an insult to pigs!

Seriously, can someone explain the appeal?!? Last time I was on here, insulting this clit, too many people were defending her ass. WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE HER!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

Personally, I wish she would die like Eddie, then there could be some tribute show with everyone crying, and I could :lol: at everyone.

I'm looking forward to The Miz getting most improved next year. This guy knows his shit.

Did you really just call Vickie a 'clit'? :lol:

I feel you may be trying too hard, boss.

[The Gold Standard]

I think it is hilarious that the majority of the "Worst Of's" are TNA considering they are trying to beat out WWE.

How is not mentioning Umaga's death a promotional tactic?

His act is stale and he knows it. He's desperately trying to keep people's attention.

How is not mentioning Umaga's death a promotional tactic?

Also, can you blame WWE for not mentioning it? The guy was released because he failed the Wellness Policy and refused to go to rehab. WWE has to be careful whenever a wrestler dies because even if they just work for WWE for a week, the media will hold them responsible.

Most Improved
2009 The Miz World Wrestling Entertainment (the 2nd year running)

If you win "most improved" two years in a row doesn't that call into question whether you really improved the first year you won it?

He was terrible, like worse than kids ringing your door bell, lighting dog shit on fire, and stepping on it to put it out 2 years ago. He improved a shitload, now he has improved to be an outstanding wrestler. He just has that much improving to do, which is crazy he was given the time of day.

Promotion of the Year
