[HeartBreakMan2k]

There were a couple here and there (rookie (Petey) and comeback (Regal) of the year for example). But I think this is probably the first year I've been satisfied with their results.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Batista in my mind is the most improved wrestler. Just a quick question, how has Shelton Benjamin improved? I'd say he has changed his style to be more sluggish. Shelton Benjamin (while getting a bigger push) hasn't been the same since his SmackDown! and early RAW days (probably his first match with Triple H is the last time I went "Wow!" at this guy). I mean he's still great, but his style has changed quite a bit.

I'm a Benjamin mark myself... :shifty: :wave:

Smackdown Shelton > Raw Shelton

[Shaner]

Shelton's IC reign > Sheton's Tag Team Title Reign!

[SuperSlim]

pretty good overall

This don't look right. AMW vs.XXX cage match should be runner up. They probably voted before the match took place. Orton vs.Benoit is too high up. Angle vs.Eddie mania match is better than their SUmmerslam match. Brock vs.Eddie should be higher. Shelton vs.HHH should not even be consider. Ultimate X match between Kazarian/Shane/Styles is better than f'n Orton vs.Flair,Orton vs.Edge. Kazarian vs.Styles match in my opinion the most underrated match in 2004.

Petey Williams is ROOKIE OF THE YEAR.

Petey Williams is ROOKIE OF THE YEAR.

He makes me want to sing...

"OH CANADAAAAAA.....
MY HOME AND NATIVE LAND....."

[MVP]

I agree with of the awards, except Rookie of the Year should have been switched around with Williams and Brown.

[John la Rock]

How is Victoria woman of the year if she's only been on tv 2 times in 2004?

:wtf:
