Do you mean Worst Promotion is TNA but all the worst shit happened in WWE?  I think the issue is that nobody remembers anything that happens in TNA.

The idea that the Meltzer Driver and Alvarez book won an award makes me wonder how much trolling is going on in this awards

 

While Adam Rose has sucked in the WWE the fact that it was really popular in NXT that year makes the Worst Gimmick award stupid.  Plus if you look at the others (Samuel Shaw, Menagerie, the Bunny, etc) makes it worse

Makes perfect sense that many subscribers would vote for Bryan's book.

I wont get my issue until next week probably but im disappointed in some of the low/not placings for a couple of the luchadors.

Oh well. Thats the popular vote at work.

I hated the Cena/Wyatt cage match. Besides the dumb as hell ending, Cena wasted so much time trying to climb over the top of the cage when it was obvious Harper and Rowan weren't going to let him that it made him look like a complete idiot. Took me right out of the match.

Man, he also says that NXT is a "better than average" throwback territory-style show and that Lucha Underground is the "better show most weeks" as its in-ring produck "as a general rule blows away NXT." I've enjoyed Lucha Underground so far, but c'mon now. I get that NXT paces itself and there are obvious building block weeks where not a whole lot happens, but they've had a great deal of good-to-great matches throughout the year.

 

Also, Sami Zayn finished way too low in the Most Outstanding Wrestler voting (7th, with 289 votes - 1530 behind Styles and also behind Ishii, Nakamura, Okada, Tanahashi, and Ricochet).

I know we have March Madness, but couldn't we do the DVDVR Awards?  Maybe do a different tournament every month to give out a particular award.  March could stay wrestler of the year, but every month could have a different tournament for whatever award.  We all look at these and think half of them are ridiculous, but if we actually put them to a vote how would they really turn out?  I don't think AJ Styles is going to win March Madness, but I do think he could make the final four.  He had an insane 2014 with a couple of MOTY contenders, but then again he literally broke 2 people's necks.  Couldn't Shouldn't we decide these awards for ourselves?

To be fair, he was popular in NXT for a whole 3-4 weeks, and they fucked it up in the second week by changing his music.
