Liam O'Rourke Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Holy shit. Thank you so much everyone, that's...pretty damn cool. I may buy a trophy for this and carry it around like Owen's Slammy.
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted January 15, 2016 Paid Members Posted January 15, 2016 Thoroughly fucking deserved, Liam!SCG, How Did This Get Made and Fatman on Batman are the only permanent podcasts on my blower, and I'm a selective, contrary prick as to what goes on there. I'm absolutely astounded and flattered at the joint share with Iano! Absolutely perplexed but very, very thankful.There should have been plenty more ahead of me there, so I'm gobsmacked. I love you cunts!
dopper Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 I'm all about NXT these days and hardly watched any Raw or SmackDown all last year, so I'm pleased to see NXT cleaning up in most categories even getting the votes of people who do watch all of the WWE tv shows. It dawned on me when I was trying to sell tickets to NXT Sheffield last year that it is still a pretty niche product that a lot of WWE fans don't know or care about - and it feels a bit like ECW did in the 90's where I was watching all these great matches & angles that many fans didn't even know existed. I didn't say it during the voting stage in case it looked like I was canvassing for votes, but thanks very much to the 20+ people who voted for my SummerSlam topic in Thread of The Year.
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 15, 2016 Moderators Posted January 15, 2016 Thanks for running the Awards again Genny and congratulations to all the winners. Excellent work as ever! It's funny that women have swept the awards but the Divas Revolution itself was panned.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 15, 2016 Paid Members Posted January 15, 2016 Congrats to all winners! Great job on the awards again HG. Top man.
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 15, 2016 Paid Members Posted January 15, 2016 Thanks to anyone who voted for me. Very nice of you! We might as well rename these the Dicey Awards. Ian smashes it every year and rightly so. Good to see Matrix and Malbranque up there as well though. I have to echo the praise for Liam's podcast as well. I'd never listened to it until last week but kept meaning to because of the love it gets on here. The need to hear Butch's Shane Douglas promo read out loud was the kick up the arse it took to get me to finally give it a listen and I'm glad I did. Never thought that listening to wrestling fans talk about wrestling could be so entertaining. I'm going to try to listen regularly now. Think it'll be a godsend when I'm doing nightshifts again in a few weeks.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 15, 2016 Paid Members Posted January 15, 2016 Got to be honest, I think air_raid has been robbed of on topic poster this year. Take the last three years, five years, ten years and Ian's the best poster by a mile but I thought this was air_raid's year. Can't argue with Ian for funniest. He slays me.

Take the last three years, five years, ten years and Ian's the best poster by a mile but I thought this was air_raid's year. Can't argue with Ian for funniest. He slays me. You're too kind. Part of being the best poster is being likable and I fall down on that front. I'm far too comfortable telling people they're an idiot when they say Miz is pinning John Cena clean at Mania (to cite a historical example).
Paid Members Nick James Posted January 15, 2016 Paid Members Posted January 15, 2016 Round of applause for HG for another sterling job with the awards. Well done, sir.

Pitcos won this award once
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted January 15, 2016 Paid Members Posted January 15, 2016 Liam can legitimately claim to have beaten Steve Austin. Clean. Congratulations to all the winners, well deserved in all categories. How crazy is it to see WWE women wrestlers dominate in the 'Best Of' awards? That's some achievement. I suppose it was one of the worst years in a decade for the guys though.
UK Kat Von D Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 I find myself hilarious and that's all that really matters to me. I've been told many times before I come across better in person than I do on the Internet so I'm used to it
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted January 16, 2016 Paid Members Posted January 16, 2016 Can Iandrew get his wins tatooed on his hands without a full sleeve? C'mon Kat, be a sport.
UK Kat Von D Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 That was me being a sport? The tone was written upbeat (I was in a great mood last night) but I can't get that to translate without using emojis
