Mick Foley as GM is one of the worst written characters ever in WWE. His counterpart DB is currently the WWE at its best on the otherhand.

Cesaro was incredible in that match. Owens and Jericho to win belts tonight?

Maybe Rollins and Reigns, but none of these guys need the tag belts.

I like his stuff with Sami the past few months. Not as good as DB vs Miz but quality.

 

They made New Day look legit again in one night.

 

Where was Emmalona damnit?

The return of Cassius Ohno!!!!!!

 

I've never seen him work but remember he got fired for being lazy and out of shape. Hope he is changed.

It's funny cause the dude is a lot bigger now than he was in his first stint but that also kind of makes the things he can do more impressive. But ya, he can really go in the ring, he can talk and he's just super entertaining in general. We'll see how it goes this time.

 

 

Yeah, hes a big ol boy now.

With guys like Owens and Joe getting over, hopefully they see that physique doesn't matter.

Watching raw now, Cesaro was phenomenal per usual in that match.

It should matter to a point. The biggest stars in WWE history pretty much all had good physiques and are more marketable to make money.

 

Joe is Samoan so his body type fits. KO has good matches but I'm sort of getting tired of his act already. If you take Jericho away, not sure I would care to see him right now.

It shouldn't matter at all in my opinion. It's almost 2017 and despite what drew in the 80's and 90's a lot of this stuff has already changed or will change. The older wrestling guys get stuck in their ways at times and that's why people are afraid to change it but I don't think having a bigger physique really should matter.

 

Also couldn't disagree with you more on KO. They haven't given him much to work with and he's still been doing great stuff.

You're wrong. I'm right.

 

And I agree that the booking hasn't helped. New championship is a joke. It was given to him and he is stuck in feud with same guys for 4 months. Boring. I'd like him to feud with a new guy every month.

That Shield vs Bullet Club vs New Day tease was pretty awesome.

Singles Match of the Year: Styles-Cena at Summerslam

 

Tag Match of the Year:DIY-Revival Takeover Brooklyn 2.

 

Women's Match of the Year: Mania triple threat

 

Woman of the Year: Charlotte(eew)

 

Breakout Star of the Year: Alexa I guess, this is kind of a hard one to answer but I guess she went from afterthought to main player more than anyone else.

 

Feud of the Year: Charlotte-Sasha I think. The feud actually annoyed me most of the time but it had some awesome moments and has a ton of history attached to it now. Styles-Cena or the Miz/Bryan/Dolph trio would be my other votes.

 

1 Prediction for 2017: Brand split already dies.

 

Make up your own topics.

Superstar of the year: Styles by a landslide. Dude is on another level right now.

 

Show of the year: Takeover Dallas cause I was there and want to brag.

 

These are off the top of my head under the WWE umbrella so there's definitely a chance I forgot about something. And too many of my answers match Brian's so that's dumb.

My Superstar of the Year is probably Jericho. Who'd a thunk it?

Great choices already on here, a couple things outside WWE/NXT that came to mind (although the ones listed I could for sure agree with ):

 

Superstar: Kenny Omega, he's been so great in NJPW (also, as far as consistent work-rate goes, Mascara Dorada (Grand Metallik) has killed it in CMLL and his spots in cWc)

 

Tag Match: Either Ladder Wars 6 in ROH (this might actually be flat out match of the year with no qualifications) or Young Bucks and Adam Cole vs. Ricochet, Osprey and Matt Sydal and BOLA Night 2

 

Breakout: I agree with Alexa, she's so awesome!

Smackdown in Chicago next week previews to be a very entertaining show with 3 belts on the line.

Yeah. I wish I could go to that but I'd be worn out at work the next day. We'll see.

I'm going to both Raw and Smackdown, I know I'll be burnt out but two different groups of friends wanted to go the separate nights, so what the heck.

I can barely sit through Raw at home. They aren't hyping up next week as much as SD is.

idk which show to take my daughter to this upcoming week. We went to a house show w the raw crew back in September here in the Quad Cities, personally Raw is more entertaining for myself, but my little girl loves AJ Styles and The Miz. Combine that with the titles on the line on SD and the SD crew coming to the QC for a house show in 2 months im truely torn to choose which one to go to. Any recommendations or help would be greatly appreciated!

Agreed, but my friend's wife has never been to a wrestling even and she likes Enzo, so we figured we'd go and just have fun with it.

Cena returning in front of his favorite crowd plus 3 title matches? You have to go Smackdown I would think. It's basically a ppv.

Unless his daughter likes Bayley, like most little girls...and Rowand44.

And proud of it.

 

But ya, I think SD is the easy choice for the Chicago shows this time around.

I'm going to SD tomorrow now so yay. It'll be my 10th wrestling show of the year which is just sad but oh well. I think Wrestlemania might have been the worst of the bunch ha.
