Mad Dog Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Are you guys interested doing that? I would like to do a private ballot. I think you get more honest results that way. Feud of the Year Story of the Year Company of the Year Best Champion Most Popular Wrestler Most Hated Overall Best Wrestler Comeback Wrestler of the Year Most Improved Rookie of the Year Tag Team of the Year WWE MVP TNA MVP RoH MVP Puro MVP Lucha MVP MMA MVP EDIT: These are the final categories. I'll be accepting ballots until December 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Private ballot? PM you our selections then? EDIT: I'm having a lot of trouble with Comeback Wrestler of the Year. I've answered the rest.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Yeah, though I want to see if anyone else has categories they want before doing ballots. I will accept ballots now as long as you're willing to come back later and vote on anything that gets added. Also if people want lists for categories just ask.

goodhelmet Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I am currently working on a MOTYC compilation. Since alot of people have not seen most of the matches listed, I am trying to compile as many of the nominated matches as possible without it being cost prohibitive. With that said, there was already agreement earlier in the year that the MOTY should actually include the entire year and not go by the standard set forth by the Observer and RSPW awards where matches in December do not count. I am going to do another poll shortly to see if I should continue with this project and if thier is enough interest to even bother distributing the discs.

Loss Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Might as well add a lucha MVP and an MMA MVP to the list as well. I, unfortunately, don't feel like I've seen enough footage to judge, but I do think JBL should really win Most Improved, Best On Interviews and Best Gimmick in the WON awards, and he won't win anything.

Mad Dog Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Ok, I added lucha and MMA MVPs. Do you guys want best gimmick on there too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World's Worst Man Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Can I skip some categories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Yeah, skip any category you don't feel comfortable voting on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I took MOTY off the list. I agree with goodhelmet that it isn't fair to the matches that happen in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Alright, I gotta change some votes anyway. Actually, can you explain something for me? By "most popular wrestler" do you mean the wrestler that got the biggest pop or the one that's generally the most loved by the IWC? Also, GH, I'm interested in the MOTYC comp, for what it's worth.

Guest EastCoastJ Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 EDIT: Whoops, didn't pick up on that private vote thing. A couple potential underdogs I would like to make a quick case for before people vote. For TNA MVP, I don't think anyone has been as imporant to the company this year as Dave Sahadi. No wrestlers are particularly important to the company right now, but the video packages Sahadi has put together have made the company look more major league than anyone in the ring, behind the mic or on commentary has. For comeback wrestler of the year, Sabu was out for ten months with a terrible back injury and he's back to performing like he was never phased. I can't stand the guys style, but he definitely deserves consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I'm actually middle-of-the-road as it pertains to the "private ballot" thing. On one hand, I like it because it means that people won't be persuaded before making their votes. On the other hand, we can't really discuss anything in this thread. I want to defend my votes, dangit, and I'm impatient and can't wait for them to come out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I don't think a private ballot will prevent you from posting who you voted for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffey Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Feud of the Year - Batista/HHH Story of the Year - Jade Chung & The Embassy (I assumed this was storyline) Company of the Year - Ring of Honor Best Champion - Austin Aries Most Popular Wrestler - N/A Most Hated - Prince Nana Overall Best Wrestler - James Gibson Comeback Wrestler of the Year - James Gibson Most Improved - N/A Rookie of the Year - Ken Kennedy Tag Team of the Year - MNM WWE MVP - Shawn Michaels TNA MVP - Christopher Daniels ROH MVP - James Gibson Puro MVP - Kenta Kobashi Lucha MVP - N/A MMA MVP - Andrei "Pitbull" Arlovski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Also, GH, I'm interested in the MOTYC comp, for what it's worth. No problem. What I plan on doing is giving the discs to sek and Loss for sure to distribute if they are willing to make the copies. From there, you would talk to them about how you can obtain a copy. Preferably, they only ask people to cover shipping and disc cost but I can't guarantee that. It would also be great if someone else could help distribute as well. So, I'll provide the footage but I need someone to do the leg work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World's Worst Man Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Feud of the Year - Jun Akiyama and Makoto Hashi's teacher vs. student storyline. Story of the Year - Guerrero/Hashimoto's death. Hashimoto's death was a bigger deal in Japan than Guerrero's was in the US, but Guerrero's was a bigger deal world wide. Company of the Year - NOAH Best Champion - Satoshi Kojima Most Popular Wrestler - Kenta Kobashi Most Hated - Triple H Overall Best Wrestler - Samoa Joe Most Improved - Go Shiozaki Rookie of the Year - Go Shiozaki (Debuted 2nd half of 2004, so I'd consider him a rookie) Tag Team of the Year - I don't know for this one. KENTA & Marufuji broke up half way through, Nakamura & Tanashi didn't do anything for the 2nd half. No one else has really been lighting it up. WWE MVP - Batista. Doesn't seem to have lost his heat. TNA MVP - Samoa Joe RoH MVP - CM Punk. The Rave feud and world title run were both money. Really close call here. Puro MVP - First instinct is to say Kojima, but All Japan doesn't seem to draw. Taking Kobashi seems like a copout. I'll say Satoshi Kojima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
