Great story about them! My mate Dean, who you may know as Damian Duke, won a Shafta award. And one day we're in the Fat Cat Cafe Bar in Wrexham town centre, about 4pm, and it's full of kids, so he's keeping it well hidden in his bag. Until another lad called Kurt (knob), started shouting about the award. "SHOW IT OFF! SHOW IT OFF!" and he's hard, so Dean just sheepishly gets it out of the bag, hardly at all, and puts it back in.

 

"WAHEY! SHAFTA!!!! TELL 'EM HOW YOU WON IT DEAN!"

"Nah, I don't think so Kurt mate"

"TELL THEM HOW YOU FUCKING WON IT!"

"Nah, kids.... and..you know it's the afternoon..."

"TELL THEM HOW YOU FUCKIN... ACTUALLY FUCK IT. IF YOU WON'T I WILL! HE GOT DONE UP THE ARSE WITH LOADS OF DILDOS AND DRANK HIS OWN CUM!"

 

The music stopped, faces froze with mouths agape in shock, and Dean's shoes had suddenly become fantastically interesting to him as he stared at them through welling eyes. Kurt went into the bag for the gold plated prize and did a victory lap around the family pub and restaurant,

 

"SHAFTA! SHAFTA! SHAFTA!"

I think they all look about right. The only one that stands out (apart from Pitcos being bullied by butthurts) is The Shield as tag team of the year.

 

Really pleased that Shield/Wyatts won match of the year because it was epic. I loved Zayn/Neville but it wasn't up with that one.

 

Congrats to the UKFF award winners. All well deserved. Particularly pleased for Houchen & Lister. Great guys and posters.

 

wand's MMA posts are excellent. I read them and I'm not even into it much anymore. Well deserved recognition.

I voted Shield for Tag Team. They were only together for half the year but in that six months they had a great Royal Rumble showing, had the match of the year against the Wyatts, remained undefeated at WrestleMania, and had two cracking matches with Evolution. I know some thought they were getting stale but that face run rejuvenated them and I think it could have had legs if they hadn't split. Yeah, they weren't together all year but they were responsible for lots of greatness for the time they were.

 

The Usos were only two votes behind and were leading the voting for most of the time, if that helps!

Yeah, great work HG. It was fun taking part in them.

 

Can't argue with any of the results there. NXT deservedly won by a landslide even though I voted for Lucha Underground.

 

*Shameless thread plug/reminder* I made a thread in on-topic a week or so ago to keep a track of any MOTY/event of the year candidates to use as a reference point for next year's awards.

Congratulations to the Houch.  Top man and thoroughly deserved.  Coming second after you is no mean feat sir, phnarr..

 

On a personal note, thanks to everyone who nominated / voted for me across various categories.  It's a bit of fun this place, but I never ceased to be amazed when people have such nice things to say.

Copied from my post in the members area:

 

I also wanted to say thanks for the nomination for Good Egg and to everyone who voted. Considering I only ever post in Off Topic and don't contribute much to conversations, it really is very flattering that 14 of you voted for me over and above others whom I thought were way more worthy. Thanks guys! :wub:
