The WWE have sort of amalgamated some of the awards. "Breakout Star of the Year" has seemingly merged with "Rookie of the Year." They should bring back the Rookie award, give that to Sheamus, and then have "Breakout" contested between Kofi Kingston, The Miz, John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler. That is Kofi's award to win.
I wish they had some of the smaller awards back. Finishing Maneuver of the Year should go to John Morrison and Starship Pain. He could also collect another "Best Entrance" Slammy. Matt Striker should get something for his commentary.
Anyway, here are some predictions:
Tag Team of the Year:
My Pick: D-Generation X
WWE's pick: D-Generation X
Note: Carlito & Primo should replace The Hart Dynasty as nominees. They might not be together anymore, but they did unify the WWE Tag Team Championship and World Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania XXV. They also spent a good amount of time as Champions.
"Oh My!" Moment of the Year:
My Pick: Sweet Chin Music to little girl
WWE's pick: Sweet Chin Music to little girl
Note: Chris Masters getting the win here would allow him to get his new face character a bit more exposure. But yeah, it just wasn't as great as HBK kicking a little girl in the face.
RAW Guest Host of the Year:
My Pick: Jesse Ventura
WWE's pick: Shaq
Note: Ventura because of the impact his night had on the RAW brand.
Shocker of the Year:
My Pick: CM Punk retires Jeff Hardy
WWE's pick: Batista turns on Rey Mysterio
Note: This will probably be used to add emphasis to the Batista heel turn. But Punk retiring Jeff Hardy was very epic. Punk should win at least one Slammy.
Breakout Superstar of the Year:
My Pick: Kofi Kingston
WWE's pick: Sheamus
Note: This should be two separate awards. New Superstar of the Year (Sheamus) and Breakout Superstar of the Year (Kofi Kingston)
Diva of the Year:
My Pick: Michelle McCool
WWE's Pick: Mickie James
Note: Should not be a fan vote. McCool should win based on how dominant she has been this year. If Beth Phoenix took exception and went after McCool, it would be highly entertaining.
Match of the Year:
My Pick: Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker
WWE's Pick: Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker
Note: This would make something like three Slammy Award wins for HBK on the evening, which would be impressive.
Superstar of the Year:
My Pick: CM Punk
WWE's Pick: The Undertaker
Note: I have a feeling this will be a huge thank you to The Undertaker.
