| Dude. Dave Meltzer doesn't hand out these awards. They award these based on mail in votes. |

| These are based off votes? No wonder so many of the awards are such bullshit. |

| Even if they are voted in results, why are they bullshit....because they don't have your way of thinking? Some of the NJPW votes seem suspect though cause Meltzer is a huge puro mark |

| Glad too see Rusev winning awards. Don't see how Kane is over rated tho, the guy puts everyone over. |

| Hasn't Kane won "Worst" something in there ever year since like 2001? Usually it's just worst feud, but damn. |

| The only award winner that really bugs me is Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier since they didn't even have a fight last year. I don't know very much MMA though so I can't say a thing about those awards.
I don't think Kane was the most overrated wrestler last year. I don't think much people rate him that highly anymore. I was expecting someone like Bad Luck Fale or Michel Elgin to win. |

It got worst feud for 2002. I think it was also Gooker of the year as well. |

| Over rated and under rated is pretty much over pushed and under pushed.
Razor, chill the fuck out. The whole "anybody who doesn't agree with me is a moron" thing is tiresome and makes it hard to really take anything you say seriously, especially if that's all you say about a subject. Like 90% of your posts about wrestling are just "people who don't agree with me are idiots" and generic anti-anything but WWE bollocks. |

I have the right to my opinion just like anyone else. If you don't like it, don't read my fucking posts, moron. And it's funny that you point out that I'm so "anti-anything WWE" yet, you and your ilk are the exact same, just the opposite way. "Oh, other companies won awards? I won't even question how stupid the decisions are!" Fuck off, mind your own business, cunt. |

| I don't watch it, so I can't make a decision on that. But I do know that saying Rusev had the best gimmick is complete bull. |
