Slammy Awards 2015

[Jack-Hammer]

The Hero in All of Us Award: TBA

I'm guessing that at least half of these will be announced on WWE.com rather than the broadcast and there are quite a few that I don't see anyone really giving a crap about like the Hashtag, Celebrity Moment, Tell Me I didn't Just See That, the LOL and Best Original WWE Network Show awards.

As for Superstar of the Year, Reigns got it last year and essentially proved that it was rigged because he was getting booed out of the building at this time last year, but I'd say he'll get it again this year.

Double-Cross of the Year will go to Stewart screwing over Cena and I think that's the only real reason the category even exists.

Surprise Return of the Year should genuinely go to either Del Rio or the Dudley Boyz.

Tag Team of the Year should most definitely go to New Day.

Best John Cena U.S. Open Challenge is kinda tricky. But for what I thought was the best match, I have to go with Cesaro as they're just able to really bring each other to another level.

"This Is Awesome" Moment of the Year will probably go to The Rock & Ronda Rousey making Trips & Steph look like chumps at WrestleMania.

Breakout Star of the Year should definitely go to Kevin Owens as he's the only one on the list, aside from Charlotte, that's had a truly banner year on the main roster so far.

WWE Diva of the Year is pretty wide open. When you go strictly by kayfabe, Nikki Bella should get it. Going by sheer popularity, I could see it going to either Paige or Sasha Banks. Going by storyline progression, I could see them giving it to Charlotte as part of her continued heel turn.

Extreme Moment of the Year will probably go to Rollins breaking Cena's nose or Taker & Lesnar brawling as both generated so much buzz.

Match of the Year may go to Sting vs. Triple H for nostalgic purposes, I thought it was pretty lousy myself but I seem to be a minority. There were better matches than those nominated, in my opinion anyway, but of those listed, I'd have to give it to Lesnar vs. Cena vs. Rollins.

The OMG Shocking Moment of the Year has to be Rollins cashing in at WrestleMania as it'll be the cash in that all other cash ins are measured against in years to come.

The Hero in All of Us Award is something I have no idea about. I don't know if it's some sort of fan award that'll be given to a special fan or what.

 

[JoeFromTomsRiver]

Superstar of the Year: Seth Rollins.
His injury will end up being the best thing that ever happened to him. He will return to a hero's welcome and will be a top babyface for the next 10 years. Rollins and Reigns is the new Cena and Orton.

Rivalry of the Year: It has to be Lesnar vs. Undertaker and it wasn't even on the list.

Double-Cross of the Year:
Damien Mizdow eliminates The Miz from the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXXI

Just so I can see a guy who hasn't been on RAW in forever, accept an award for something that happened 8 months ago, with nothing to come of it.

Surprise Return of the Year:
Alberto Del Rio

I wasn't really wanting his return, but it was without a doubt the most surprising return.

Best Original WWE Network Show:
Stone Cold Podcast

There have been times that I stayed awake through RAW just because this was coming on right after on the Network.

Tag Team of the Year:
The New Day

They looked like they were going to be the black 3MB. They've become the black Freebirds.

Hashtag of the Year:
None. Fuck Twitter.

Celebrity Moment of the Year:
None. Fuck Celebrities.

"Tell Me You Didn't Just Say That" Moment of the Year:
Paige spoils Charlotte's championship celebration on the September 21st episode of Raw


I'm done, can't get through them all.

 

[Navi]

Superstar of the Year: Rollins he's been on point and on fire all year long. Great promo artist and wrestler.

Rivalry of the Year: None of them impressed me enough.

Double-Cross of the Year: Out of all of them this is the best. Jon Stewart costs John Cena the WWE United States Championship at SummerSlam

Surprise Return of the Year: Yea unfortunately this is it. Alberto Del Rio & Zeb Coulter return at Hell in a Cell

Best Original WWE Network Show: Podcast for me, followed closely by Table for 3.

Tag Team of the Year: The New Day by a mile.

Hashtag of the Year: who cares

Celebrity Moment of the Year: Machine Gun Kelly gets powerbombed by Kevin Owens on the June 15th episode of Raw We were all waiting for it.

"Tell Me You Didn't Just Say That" Moment of the Year: My son a the T shirt. Brock Lesnar coins Suplex City at WrestleMania XXXI

Best John Cena's U.S Open Challenge: vs. Cesaro on the July 6th episode of Raw

"This is Awesome" Moment of the Year: The Shield briefly reunite to powerbomb Randy Orton through the announce table at Payback

Breakout Star of the Year: Kevin Owens

WWE Diva of the Year: Sasha Banks

Extreme Moment of the Year: Luke Harper powerbombs Dean Ambrose through a ladder at WrestleMania XXXI I though he was dead after that.

Match of the Year: Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena vs. Seth Rollins for the WWE WHC at the Royal Rumble

The OMG Shocking Moment of the Year: Seth Rollins cashes in his MITB briefcase at WrestleMania XXXI

LOL Moment of the Year: The Bushwhackers' WWE Hall of Fame induction speech. They were great.

Now I`m not usually good at these things, so none of the above will win.

 

[AegonTargaryen]

1)Tag Team of the Year:- Definitely, The New Day.

2)Hashtag of the year:- Most definitely, #Suplex City.

3)Best US Challenge match:-John Cena vs Cesaro, for sure.

4)"Tell Me You Didn't Just Say That" Moment of the Year.

I'm laughing my ass off here, and I haven't even seen any of those. I ,think Seth addressing Johnny as Johnny Idiot would probably be it. Or Amrbose calling Seth Justin Bieber.

5)Breakout Star of the Year: Kevin Owens, undeniably.
Which idiot thought it wise to put Braun Strowman as an eligible candidate?

6)The OMG Shocking Moment of the Year. Seth Rollins or Brock Lesnar should win it. They might/could give it to Kalisto, though.

7)Surprise Return of the Year. IMO, Sting deserves it. But most likely, it'll be given to Del Rio.

8)Double-Cross of the Year:- Either Randy Orton or Damien Mizdow.

9)Rivalry of the Year:- Most of the choices feel more like midcard/mediocre rivalries and not really good enough to be ROTY contenders. Nonetheless, like Joe said, I'd like to go with Taker-Brock and that's not even a choice, is it?

10)"This is Awesome" Moment of the Year:- The Shield powerbombing Orton, or Orton countering the Curb Stomp into an RKO.

11)Superstar of the Year..Oh Well, Seth Rollins or Roman Reigns for sure. God forbid them giving it to Sheamus or Rusev.

 

[swallop]

IDC about any of these expect the miz & mizdow commercial that was pure gold i legit LOL'ed for that.

 

[J.J.]

I'm unconcerned about the rest of the awards. I hope Sandow wins the double cross award just so I can see him on TV for once. How long has it really been?

[laodaron]

Superstar of the Year: For the first time, open to every wrestler on the main roster.

Um, the real superstar of the year was probably Cena. His US Open Challenge was pretty special in the grand scheme. Others that could/should win: Lesnar, Taker for having his first multi match year in a long time, Reigns, who has produced very high quality matches all year, and MAYBE Wyatt, since he's been in some high profile stuff and he's on his way to a push right now.

Rivalry of the Year:
Seth Rollins vs. Randy Orton

I gotta go with this rivalry out of the choices...but Taker v. Lesnar and Cena v. Owens were the best rivalries of the year for me.

Double-Cross of the Year:
Damien Mizdow eliminates The Miz from the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXXI

This is where I'll give Sandow his due. He was getting himself over with the Mizdow thing, and he did a pretty good job with poor creative. I think from the choices, this one is the most fun.

But from a mainstream media approach, it's probably going to be Stewart, which is meh.

Surprise Return of the Year:
The Dudley Boyz return on the August 24th episode of Raw

This is the one that really got me excited, at least for a single episode. Their music and entrance again, all of that was pretty great.

Best Original WWE Network Show:
Breaking Ground

I think that this is definitely their breakout show. Following the NXT folks, showing rookies AND vets, vaguely mentioning the Indy feds, etc., all fits into this neat narrative. I feel like it's the best produced show on the Network.

Tag Team of the Year:
The New Day

Don't you be sour, but this is pretty obvious, right?

Hashtag of the Year:
#SuplexCity

I really wanted to pick #givedivsasachance, but, this was SUCH a big thing when it happened, it's hard to pick anything else.

Celebrity Moment of the Year:
Machine Gun Kelly gets powerbombed by Kevin Owens on the June 15th episode of Raw

My celebrity moment was the celebrity taking a bump. Not the celebrity hitting Cena. But I doubt that I'm right.

"Tell Me You Didn't Just Say That" Moment of the Year:
Brock Lesnar coins Suplex City at WrestleMania XXXI

If this was a real award show, and not a kayfabe booking opportunity, this is what I would think would win. I wouldn't be surprised for this to be one of the options involving Rollins, since we haven't heard about or from him since he got hurt. OR, if WWE is intentionally not mentioning him, then this might win.

Best John Cena's U.S Open Challenge:
vs. Cesaro on the July 6th episode of Raw

Of the choices, Cesaro is the better wrestler, and has had the better matches with Cena. This is the winner.

"This is Awesome" Moment of the Year:
The Divas Revolution begins on the July 13th episode of Raw

Really, this is the one that I marked the most for, and went back on DVR to watch again.

Breakout Star of the Year:
Kevin Owens

This is obvious. Clean pinned the top guy in the company. Held the IC for several months.

WWE Diva of the Year:

Nikki Bella

This is my pick for Diva of the year, because she broke the record and had a really great year with decent Divas matches. However, like it's been said, I wouldn't be surprised to see Charlotte get it to push the heel gimmick.

Extreme Moment of the Year:
The Undertaker & Brock Lesnar brawl on the July 20th episode of Raw

From the choices, I'll take this option. It felt real and great, and I popped hard for Taker. That being said, the Uso/Kalisto bump with the Salida Del Sol onto the ladder is EASILY the extreme moment of the year.

Match of the Year:
John Cena vs. Kevin Owens at Elimination Chamber

This might be my favorite match of the year, the only thing that was bad about it was that they tried to replicate and outdo it at the MitB? Whichever PPV was next, and it sort of stole some of the thunder.

The OMG Shocking Moment of the Year:
Seth Rollins cashes in his MITB briefcase at WrestleMania XXXI

This was the SHOCKING moment of the year, sort of, but I think that most people knew it was coming. I think Rollins winning by pinning Reigns was the real shock. Also, the Jey Uso and Kalisto spot doesn't belong in this category, but whatever. I hope that they get recognized for it.

LOL Moment of the Year:
The New Day get Triple H and Stephanie McMahon to dance on the September 14th episode of Raw
R-Truth mistakenly believes he's in the MITB ladder match on the June 8th episode of Raw

This one really has me wondering, does HHH get himself over with New Day, or does R-Truth win a slammy? Hopefully R-Truth, except, that would have been a really fun gimmick to run with for several months.

The Hero in All of Us Award: TBA

I don't know what this means, so, I'm assuming it's a fan award or something.

 

[Azane]

Too bad they won't admit it happened, but Tell me you did not just say that, is definitely Paige mentioning Reid Flair.

Superstar of the Year should be Seth, he held the title for most of the year and really made a name for himself

Rivarly Ya, Roman vs Wyatt, because WWE is running it, so ROMAN ROMAN ROMAN.

Double Cross - Stewart vs Cena, nobody saw it coming until Stewart messed up and targetted Cena too early, but it was still a good swerve

Surprise Return, Dudleyz, didnt expect it, Bubba was still on TNA Taped episodes the same week he appeared

Best Original Network Show - I have to say Breaking Ground, I didn't originally care for it, but I've watched it and it gives such a great prespective behind the scenes, and they don't hide behind Kayfabe as much as I expected them to.

Tag Team - New Day, nobody comes close.

Hashtag of the year: #FuckTwitter

Celebrity Moment: John Stewart, only celebrity I cared about

Tell me you did not just say that: Paige and Charlotte, but it's the wrong moment, because WWE has no balls.

Best John Cena US match: Sami Zayn, I'm probably poisoned by them reshashing it over and over again on nXt though.

Breakout Star: Charlotte, Ric's still backstage politicing the shit out of WWE.

Diva of the year: I hate to say it, Nikki, but they'll give it to Paige probably because Nikkis been out for a few months.

Extreme Moment: WWE will make it ROMAN ROMAN ROMAN, doing an average Elbow drop and a spear on Trips, but I'd probably go with Cena getting his nose busted, A spot we'd see a dozen times on free TV 15 years ago, will be "Extreme" today.

Match of the Year - I have to do a write in, the Triple Tag Ladder match from TLC blows everything else away this year. (How the hell is Taker vs Brock HIAC there...? They just did their finishing moves 3 times, 1 cell spot, then an F5 that missed the open wood and landed him on the mat)

OMG moment is Kalisto at TLC, I almost had to look away when I realized what he was doing because there's way too much that could of gone wrong with it.

LOL moment: None of them made me laugh, so I'm abstaining.

 

[Messiah]

Superstar of the Year: Seth Rollins

Rivalry of the Year: Seth Rollins vs. Randy Orton (bad choices)

Double-Cross of the Year: Randy Orton turns on Seth Rollins

I think I seen that one of the categories being done by fan voting is the superstar of the year??? This is a BAD IDEA AND VERY DANGEROUS. Superstar of the year is the biggest award. In election voting there is a reason you have to be 18 to vote. You can't trust the most important things to children or not capable of voting. It works the same way with superstar of the year. You'll have millions voting for DBry, who can't wrestle, or the rock cause he funny. Opening th whole roster to the public will backfired. Wait and see!!!!

Since I can under this ridiculous format I'm voting for King Barrett!!!!
Even though cena or Rollins deserves it!!

 

[OYDK]

Doesn't matter dude, Superstar of the Year is always rigged. You seriously think people voted for Roman Reigns to win it last year after he had been out for 4 months with an injury?

Barrett himself has addressed this... "Go home WWE, You're Drunk..."

Pretty much sums it up.

The problem is the Slammy's are a fictional award ceremony for a soap opera set in a wrestling promotion. They are not true awards and thus have no real substance, fan voted or not.

Even back in the day of the Apter mags, which were semi Kayfabed, the most real part was the awards and the PWI 500 as it was the one time they legit looked at talent and rated them. The Slammy's were always an excuse for Vince to goof off, wheel out Ric Flair again and to embarrass talent rather than actually go legit. Then he tried to make it a feature of RAW and it's the one episode of the year everyone says "nah, not bothered", that's probably more why Roman won last week, to try and stop this week being the titianic of ratings.

There's no real solution until WWE starts trying to be a WRESTLING promotion again... if they do so, then the Slammy's could have merit... other than that, it's obvious Roman will win this year, or Rollins at a push (like he needs that albatross round his neck)... if there was real justice, you'd probably in all fairness give it to Kevin Owens... but again, anyone of substance, it's the kiss of death on their careers.

Don't vote.. It's fixed anyways. You'll be wasting your time.

I've heard from loads of resources that Vince McMahon doesn't fancy the voting to be rigged. And I also heard it was legitimate last year. And you should know, the hatred for Roman Reigns became huge only after he returned from his injury. I'm not sure to what extent this is true.

But this year, there certainly is a problem due to the open choice system. Maybe WWE should've named that award as the Most Favourite Superstar of the Year instead. That would've make much sense if Daniel Bryan or King Barrett or whomsoever wins that open contest!

 

[Navi]

Whenever I watch the Slammy's I get the impression the WWE is telling us, "This is who you should have voted for and who we want you to like". There is no way that Reigns should have won Superstar of the Year last year, and he shouldn't win it again this year. I like the guy but quite honestly he's just not better than some of the other contenders.

Rollins or Owens should win it, if the truth be told. Rollins broke away from the Shield and made his own mark in the industry. Owens enough said. The guy debuted against Cena and beat him. No one has done that for a long time. Del Rio doesn't count, because he was a WHC before. Add to that Owens had managed to stay up there and not let himself be dropped back into the quagmire of the lower midcard, like Rusev has.

I would even vote for New Day to win it. They started with a crappy gimmick, took it, shook it and made it work for them. New Day is one of the best parts of RAW when they're out there.

So yea this will kind of be a disaster like it normally is, everyone will be complaining the next day who won and who didn't, I will most likely be one of them. But we all know deep down this is utter shit and not really worth our time.

No it had started when he got injured last year. You could hear the booing when he was supposed to be live via satellite. I don't know exactly when the fans started to turn but even the most ardent Roman Reigns supporters said he shouldn't have won, he really did nothing to win that award last year.

 

[sMark]

Even if the poll is rigged (which i highly doubt), WWE is only a scripted show, this is like South Park will make it's own Awards episode, where fictional characters get awards for the scrips writers did for them. Nobody (except for die hard fans) really cares about these awards, since they don't mean jack in reality. If anything Slammys is a good opportunity for WWE to see where their work was done right, where don't, and who can be RR winner to satisfy the fans. WWE Slammys =/= Oscars.

This is so much true and I'll corroborate with that. But I reckon the booing started off when he had a series of PPV matches against the Big Show. He had a decent amount of pop against Daniel Bryan in that #1Contender match at Fast lane. That match was entertaining and it didn't look like DB carried him through out that match. It somehow sort of exaggerated at the Royal Rumble. Anyhow talking about the Superstar of the year, I had read many reports stating that it was legit that he topped the poll chart. I read that on Wrestlezone main page as well if I remember correctly.

But didn't his good match with Big Show the Last Man Standing match and the match at Fastlane happen after he won the Slammy. He was the number one contender going into Fastlane wasn't he and had to fight to keep that right. With so many PPV's happening they kind of all run into themselves after a while.

And if I'm not mistaken he was recovering from the operation the night he won the Slammy. He wasn't actively wrestling, he didn't come back until the end of that month. That's why a lot of people where saying he didn't do anything to really deserve it, and they were pissed off. I don't see him winning this year it should go to Rollins.
