Bray Wyatt is only 33 and already a multi-year hall of famer for bad gimmicks and matches. This guy is just getting started and in the prime of his career. It's going to be even worse each year. I can't wait.

Vince has an entire universe of bizarre thoughts and ideas in his hosed up brain, but, to me, ”Woman Who Is Attractive” as a gimmick is one of his most baffling fixations.

But everything about the Fiend's booking, look, and presentation just...sucks.

Shouldn't we give The Fiend credit for the Alexa Bliss stuff too? Like, the gimmick is so bad he's also simultaneously ruining several of the women's wrestlers and the main event of RAW...and he's not EVEN THERE!!! God drat, The Fiend is unstoppable as the worst gimmick of all time.

Unhappy OC won best gimmick, 2019 was fine but 2020 severely exposed the gimmicks limitations and OC v Jericho lasted an eternity.

Lid posted:Unhappy OC won best gimmick, 2019 was fine but 2020 severely exposed the gimmicks limitations and OC v Jericho lasted an eternity. 2019 was probably the lamest year for the gimmick 2020 was so much better as he started showing off with the match vs Pac and then showing so much versatility with the first Jericho match, some of those six man tags, the Brodie Lee match and the Cody matches. Also tremendous on BTE. Best Gimmick was obviously Team Taz and the FTW lifestyle but it's OK for 2nd to win. MassRafTer fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Jan 20, 2021 |

2020 OC had so many great moments. when he did the global warming question during the debate, when he sat in a trunk for 15 minutes to do a punch, when he rolled from side to side against PAC, looked right in his face and then rolled away again. great year for the big man

Oh sure Orange Cassidy may be more popular than he's ever been, but he's also more creatively and personally fulfilled than he has ever been, so who's the REAL winner here? (It's Orange Cassidy)

Jeff Cobb 2 Receiving one vote: Great O-Khan; Yuu; DOUKI; Akira Francesco; Dragon Dia; Saya Kamitani people's reactions if you told them at the end of 2019 that Britt Baker would turn it around and become a legitimate, every-week entertaining character by the end of 2020: MOST CHARISMATIC 1. ORANGE CASSIDY 5 2. MJF 4 T3. Maki Itoh 3 T3. Eddie Kingston 3 T3. Hiromu Takahashi 3 T3. Minoru Suzuki 3 T7. Ricky Starks 2 T7. Tetsuya Naito 2 T7. "Hangman" Adam Page 2 Receiving one vote: Kento Miyahara; Hana Kimura; Jay White; Jon Moxley; Mei Suruga; Cody Rhodes; Eddie Kingston; Chris Jericho; Hiroshi Tanahashi; Shingo Takagi doing the most with the least, Orange Cassidy takes the top spot as Most Charismatic. often getting by with doing the absolute minimum, the guy will put his hands in his pockets and have fans eating it up. it's astounding!

Yoshinari Ogawa 2 Receiving one vote: Chris Brookes; Still Life with Apricots & Pears; Masashi Takeda; Jay White; Hiromu Takahashi; Miyu Yamashita; Minoru Suzuki; Daniel Bryan; Kenny Omega; Jonathan Gresham; Syuri; Asuka (Kana) Zack Sabre Jr. continues his dominance over this award for approximately the twentieth straight year.

Saya Kamitani 2 Receiving one vote: Suzume; Hayato Tamura; Yota Tsuji; Chie Koishikawa; Mirai Maiumi; Gabriel Kidd; Yuuki Mashiro in her Dynamite debut, much-hyped rookie Anna Jay went up against Abadon in a match most assumed would be an easy win for the hyped rookie. and it didn't happen! Anna Jay got squashed in only her seventh match ever and then immediately picked up by the Dark Order. she spent much of 2020 honing her craft, and hanging around and being a welcome presence in Being the Elite. by the end of the year she was having singles matches on Dynamite and serving as the voice of terror in the Dark Order. BEST NON-WRESTLER 1. TAZ 21 2. Tony Schiavone 3 T3. Don Callis 2 T3. Sayuri Namba 2 Receiving one vote: Brodie Lee Jr.; Dasha Gonzalez; Dick Togo; Marty Asami; Matsuzawa-san (YMZ); Miho Abe; Mio Shirai; Tully Blanchard; Zelina Vega you didn't listen to him!! https://twitter.com/OfficialTAZ/status/1341553120136982528 MOST UNDERRATED 1.

EVIL 2 The Fiend caps off an incredible year with a runaway in Most Overrated, capping off a Most Overrated/Worst Gimmick double win that doesn't come up as often as you'd think - in Observer voting Baron Corbin in 2018 was the first person to win the Most Overrated/Worst Gimmick duo since Dusty Rhodes in 1988. take it away, Fiend! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uWB-lOlpfc tomorrow: we'll move into the Category A awards.

SB KENTo was robbed. How many wrestlers are a major part of a ***** in their rookie year? There's not many and one of them was fellow 2020 Dragon Gate rookie HipHop Kikuta (shout out to him, a guy who debuted in June and thus has never actually wrestled in front of a full sell out crowd that can make noise and shout and cheer) I have no recollection of who I voted for Best Flyer but looking at the names I guess Hiromu?

Mizuki's Whirling Candy received the same amount of first place votes as the Buckshot Lariat, but receiving no second- or third-place votes meant that the Buckshot Lariat took the win.

WWE takes eight of the top ten spots, and most impressively, the entirety of Monday Night Raw received two first-place votes. AEW's All Out, marred by a variety of forced and unforced errors is AEW's only representative in the top ten. erstwhile stalwart in this category TNA/Impact takes the tenth spot with the first episode after Kenny Omega won the AEW World Championship receiving one first-place vote. BEST WEEKLY TV SHOW 1. AEW DYNAMITE (25) 148 2. AEW Dark (1) 54 3. Gatoh Move ChocoPro (5) 34 4. Being The Elite (1) 34 5. NJPW Strong (0) 18 6. DDT TV show (3) 15 7. AJPW TV Show (0) 5 8.

Ice Ribbon (1) 5 AEW predictably dominates in best weekly TV show and Promotion of the Year voting, with ChocoPro's first place votes being the only thing stopping AEW from taking the top three spots in TV show voting. AEW also doubles up its closest competitor in Promotion of the Year, winning 25 out of 37 first-place votes. BEST ON INTERVIEWS 1. EDDIE KINGSTON (23) 125 2. Jon Moxley (3) 71 3. MJF (2) 19 4. Brodie Lee (1) 17 5. Taz (0) 15 T6. Maki Itoh (2) 10 T6. Minoru Suzuki (2) 10 8. Tetsuya Naito (1) 8 T9. Britt Baker (0) 8 T9. KENTA (0) 8 the two men who won Best Feud of the Year also take the top two spots on Best on Interviews. their strong promos led to a lot of interest in Full Gear, coming only four months after King debuted on Dynamite. Kingston served as a vocal leader and magnetic presence whose can't-miss promos were appointment viewing whenever he got close to a microphone. Moxley also had a strong year on the stick, constantly building up his opponents and himself throughout the year. tomorrow: the big four awards: Wrestler of the Year Most Outstanding Wrestler Tag Team of the Year Match of the Year
