How's Your "_____ of the Year" List Coming Along?

[Wade's Public Transit Bomb]

With the end of the year about to peep its head around the corner, many people start compiling lists that reflect on the year. I do love reading the different lists because a lot of times I am reminded of stuff I forgot and I wanna search YouTube for it; mainly because these list USUAL highlight the best of the year. They also shows how much of a difference 12 months can make..

Here are some 'common' _____ of the Year Categories (I think)

Wrestler of the Year
Rookie of the Year
Match of the Year
Promo of the Year
PPV of the Year
Most Improved
Biggest Shock
Biggest Disappointment
Biggest Gain
Biggest Lost
"Where in the hell did he come from" (This one has many names haha)

Are there any categories you usually look at if you do this?

They also shows how much of a difference 12 months can make..

Here are some 'common' _____ of the Year Categories (I think)

Biggest Shock Nexus' Invasion of Raw

[Pay Per Ghost]

Wrestler of The Year -
Randy Orton, for finally going mega-over.

Rookie of The Year -
Wade Barrett and Daniel Bryan
Barrett's transition from NXT to the top heel on Raw has been smooth as sexual chocolate p), and c'mon the Daniel Bryan saga has been enthralling.


Match of The Year -
Undertaker vs HBK, Wrestlemania 26.
Ye can't touch this.


Promo of The Year -
Kane's first promo after memorial day attack on his brother

[YOUTUBE]dPz91IiJ7Aw[/YOUTUBE]​

This was the most powerful and surreal promo I have seen for a while. What suspension, I was so f*cking glued to this.


PPV of The Year -
Wrestlemania 26.
Again, hard to touch this, although SummerSlam was very good as well.



Most Improved -
The Miz.
There's a case of him being most improved last years as well, but he has really has come into his own this year.

Biggest Shock -
Shawn and Bret bury the screwjob

[YOUTUBE]CwluSPWNEYI[/YOUTUBE]​

Biggest Disappointment -
The Bret vs Vince McMahon match.
Horrible execution to a great buildup


Biggest Gain -
The Nexus
Their first impact is embedded in the minds of all as one of the most shocking debuts ever.

Biggest Loss -
HBK's retirement
I know it was time, but it just hurt, that I could never see him wrestle live.

and may I be bold enough to add a segment

Mark The F*ck Out (MTFO) Moment of the Year​

Bret Hart's return

After years and years of verbal spat and a very tragic turn of events, it's great when life comes full circle. Hell has a skating rink now I believe

[YOUTUBE]iGBVmmOpgxU[/YOUTUBE]


Daniel Bryan is the final member of Team WWE

What a MTFO moment! Noone saw it coming and the E's execution of the whole thing, how they kept it under wraps and the reaction of the announcers...epic stuff!

Well, the World's Greatest Tag Team Award doesn't really work as well as the MVP Award, does it? Also, they were alright.

[dman1373]

Wrestler of The Year - Daniel Bryan
This is the wrestler that everyone has been following. I can't believe the things he has done in just the first year in the wwe. How could you not give it to him.

Rookie of The Year - Wade Barrett
This is easy. Most people never knew who wade barret was. Then he wins nxt and leads nexus to main event summerslam against the most over group that the wwe has to offer.

Match of The Year - Undertaker vs HBK, Wrestlemania 26
Every one will choose this probably.

Promo of The Year - hbk promo before Wrestlemania 26
Shawn is just gold on the mic. And when you add the fact that he has gone insane. Thats just a match made in mexico.


PPV of The Year - Royal Rumble
This years royal rumble was very good. Especially the royal rumble match. It was one of, if not the greatest royal rumble matches ever.

Most Improved - The Miz
He has gone from former reality star to future world champion. He is a alot better in the ring and has become more brutal and his mic work is better then its ever been.

Biggest Shock - Daniel Bryan getting fired
I was as shocked as everyone when nexus first attacked, but then i was even more shocked when they fired daniel bryan right after. He was an important part of what i thought nexus would be and then they fire him later that week.

Biggest Disappointment - The nexus
They really haven't been that entertaining since their inception. I was really excited to see what they would do with it and they have done a terrible job.

Biggest Gain - wgtt
When roh got the world's greatest tag team i was extremely happy. They were one of the best tag teams in the world. And i know with roh's tag team division that they have found a great home.

Biggest Loss - Matt Hardy
I was always a huge m'fer and thought that matt was a great talent. He has always been very entertaining and has had some of my favorite fueds.
Its a shame that he was never used right.

"Where The Hell Did He Come From?" - Alberto Del Rio
A Mexican jbl that can work. Jesus.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Wrestler of The Year - Daniel Bryan
This is the wrestler that everyone has been following. I can't believe the things he has done in just the first year in the wwe. How could you not give it to him.

Cena had three great matches with Batista, was one of the survivors at Summerslam and had a great match with Barrett at HIAC. I'll probably put Bryan fourth behind Cena, Styles, and Angle.

 

[Uncle Sam]

The Brock Lesnar II Award for Best Newcomer - Wade Barrett (if I can't put Sheamus)

[Coco]

Cena had three great matches with Batista, was one of the survivors at Summerslam and had a great match with Barrett at HIAC. I'll probably put Bryan fourth behind Cena, Styles, and Angle.

Styles just finished damn near the worst year of his career.

 

[The People's Peep]

OMG moment of the year: Shawn Michaels gets retired. Or Randy Orton RKO's Jericho off ladder (Money in the Bank 2010)

Or the AirBourne/RKO...

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Styles just finished damn near the worst year of his career.

I forgot I put Styles there. I was thinking more of what he did at the end of last year. Well it's either Cena or Angle.

Screw that. Batista for wrestler of the year.

 

[a0161613]

This really is not the worst year of AJ's career. He started it on fire and even recently, he dragged Tommy Dreamer to a good performance in their I Quit match.

 

[Cena's Little Helper]

Shinsuke Nakamura deserved wrestler of the year last year...maybe I'll just push for him this year.
