No no... I got it. Seriously, I do. Don't worry about me in understanding the concept. Respect for it too...
@ IC25... what else did you expect me to be? A former admin?
I just like being honest, man. I don't use smoke and mirrors to plea my case to the 'powers that be.'
I have a completely fulfilling life outside of here. I'm the singer of a rock band, my family is awesome, my job pays me a lot of money, and my friends are the greatest people that I could ever imagine meeting in this world. But the only thing that I wish I had more of on the outside is more friends that enjoyed wrestling as much as I do. I've got IC25, my friend Jack, and one or two others, but the people on this site keep me balanced and sane and make me really give a shit about wrestling. So, it's easy for me to care so much and be so serious about it sometimes.

Didn't think you were a rookie. Maybe I'm just old.

Oh, I believe I never congradulated you on the marriage. So, congrads. I'd add something here, but I'm sure you have received every poem and metaphor to accompany you to a successful life together with your spouse.

You don't have to explain your case to me D-Man. You know I back you and you know I respect you, for what it's worth. You say it how it is. And like I said, you doing stuff like that post, it is obvious why so many people do respect you. And no, I ain't kissing your ass, I'm telling it how I view it.
As sad as this statement is, tdigle is right.
Honestly, I created this thread because I legitimately wanted to know the real categories of the EOY Awards, but I also thought it was a fun way for us to make up ridiculous categories and post who we feel should be the winners of them (i.e. M.I.A. Poster of the Year = Tenta). In typical WZ fashion, we have been completely derailed and I just had to sift through 42 pages of jokes, campaigning for ROTY, arguing, banter, and some other funny shit.
If we're gonna talk about real categories and who should win, I'm just going to say that I can't get upset if I don't win (or get nominated) in the ROTY category with guys like Razor, Savagetaker, Phoenix, Dave, Lariat, and the other 2 billion incredible rookies that joined the forum this year. I know what I've done on this forum since January. And what I've done is nothing more than the best that I could. I love wrestling, I love having people to bullshit about it with (even if it's on a computer instead of in person) and I love posting my thoughts on here and getting responses.
It's obvious that the EOY Awards is nothing more than a popularity contest and there's nothing wrong with that. So I'm not the "most popular rookie/n00b" on Wrestlezone... big deal. I'm not losing sleep over it. But why is it such a big deal? I know I've grown from someone who just knew a thing or two about wrestling to a completely well-rounded, strong poster in many of the different rooms on this site. I've earned the respect and backing of guys like IC25, Norcal, Becca, jmt225, and others... And in my opinion, that's plenty of recognition.
I'm not going to say garbage like "If I don't win ROTY I don't give a shit" because that is total horseshit. I've busted my ass all year to try and gain that accolade and I actually do care about it. However, how can I be that upset if I lose, considering my competition?? As far as I'm concerned, the rookies of 2009 make up for about 80% of the best posts and most rational thoughts that have been put on this site this year. I contributed as much as I had time for and I really feel that I made an impact, so I'm happy.
So as far as I'm concerned (and back to one of the original subjects that I was aiming for when I created this thread), if there was a category for "Most Underappreciated, Overlooked, Easily-Forgettable, Dark Horse Rookie of the Year," I think I'd take that award. And if I win the real ROTY award, I'll be happy as fuck. But if I walk away with nothing but respect from my peers on this site, even though it won't taste as sweet, I can't help but still appreciate that anyway.
This is why D-Man deserves the damn award. No other Rookie can
Anyway, I was up for ROTY last year and only got 2 votes if you look back (would have been 3 if I voted for myself). Hell, one of them was from someone I never even heard of. So, yeah... while these awards are really, really fun and it's nice to get some praise, it's still not the be all end all of this forum. There will be a few miscarriages of justice, but then again... that's the case in every single tournament/award thingy we do here. And it most likely happens at every other forum on the net with a lot of posters.
And D-Man continues to be epic.
I think I should win Doc of the Year.

Thank you, brotha. And If I were on here last year you wouldn't gotten my vote.
Um... ok.
For the record, I didn't post that to gain votes or to "come to terms with my eventual loss." I posted it just because it was on my mind and I wanted to 'put it on paper', so to speak.

I know. I'm just making sure people know that any respect that goes to you should go to me as well since I thought of that post first.
Don't forget it when voting, people.
I'd vote for you.
Myself and Norcal will be doing the Alternative WZ End Of Year Awards, just to let you all know. He's not aware of it yet, but I'm not giving him the choice. But first, I'll have to learn the names of these new people.
Hi, I'm Coco. However, I change my name rather often, so votes for me could be coming in under several different names. Votes for Razor and Lariat definately go to me. Also, if there are any votes you think may go to me but you aren't sure, don't bother me with silly questions about my other usernames. Just add them to my score.
No, only I give out the number and you're number two.
