2000 & 2001 is the interesting one, with both teams (Plus Edge & Christian) winning MOTY (which I will discuss later). 2006 gives me a shock that people didn't vote DX to win it, whilst it is interesting to note that TNA gets a few votes for tag team of the year something that is lacking in Wrestler and Rookie of the year.

I'm surprised Edge and Christian weren't on there, I always considered them mroe entertaining than the Dudleyz and Hardyz.

Yeah it is weird, but 2000-2001 it was all about the three teams, obviously you would have the face team winning it in 2000, but 2001 the Dudleyz had their second wind I guess. What is interesting to note though is that the winners of the two famous TLC matches were both Edge & Christian yet the tag team of the year went to Hardyz & Dudleyz. Weird that.
