And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Well the bloodline storyline has drawn huge ratings and attendance unlike what AEW was doing at the end of the year. Though the peak was at the start of this year and not really to be considered.

if TK won booker of the year i'd say its wrong and not because the end of the year but for most of the year AEW was way down and scrambling with the brawl out fallout and the booking was a clusterfuck and it took months to resolve and then it collapsed again because Regal jumped

i'd have taken Gedo

yea ok

Yeah scrambling and doing your best to make highly competent pro wrestling after things out of your control force massive changes is definitely the sign of a bad booker. Gotta give it to the guy who’s bummed out that the wrong person got over.

oh not the hottest take of someone whose show wasnt good for a while maybe not being the best booker because they were trying to make the best of a bad situation, truly the hottest of takes

The most questionable voting is Takuma Iroha coming in 4th for rookie of the year. I tilted my head in confusion so far I'm almost broke my neck. That's so questionable it has to be some sort of error.

edit: also this

WORST PROMOTION OF THE YEAR

WWE 376

NWA 359

Control Your Narrative 81

i mean i hate WWE as much as the next guy but thats a grade curve if ever, then again CMLL didn't win worst promotion during the period where they were actively trying to kill employees

Wait, the 9 year veteran Takumi Iroha from Marvelous? Who was Artist of Stardom champ way back in 2015? That is bewildering

Which is why I'm thinking that has to be a mistake. It's not even that she appeared in Stardom and people saw her for the first time as she didn't appear in Stardom in 2022.

As a Dave head this one really hurts.



The angle got stronger when it didn’t count for balloting, but also it was the best when it counted. Also paul had nothing to do with anything, but he did and he should have won

& The aura of roman reigns, when at the very beginning of the issue he admits The Tribal Chief wasn't a needle mover

I'm not subscribed, is Dave coping in his own newsletter that TK won Best Booker and Promoter?

Because TK was both of those things and it's not close. The things the man did on PPV in 2022 were loving insane, he's lapping the field at this point. Paul Levesque is a joke compared to him.

Sometimes you just have to randomly editorialize certain awards when you haven't in the past. After all, Paul has done so many great things this year.

Yeah like lose 700,000 viewers the second Monday Night Football came back. Gimme a loving break.

I see Roman won best box office, which, laughing my loving rear end off. Dude still needed Cena to parachute in and save his rear end in 2022.

Best Box Office is an objective award not subjective and is based on ticket sales and is not voted on

And yet AEW's attendance and ratings are down from where they began the year and wwe's was up. They were competitive near the beginning of the year where Dynamite had a chance to beat Raw some weeks but now they're closer to getting doubled.

Yeah, Tony Khan is very obviously the best booker and promoter of the year for this reason.

And also for the reason that his shows are excellent and WWE's are loving garbage.

I'll have to check if the beginning of 2022 was part of the year these awards covered.

And AEW's ratings were up year to year. It wasn't just the beginning of 2022 that their business was good.
