And that a clip show can win best weekly TV show, while a universally acclaimed series is DQed for only having 11 episodes.
Not just a clip show, but a clip show that nobody in the west watches. I'm guessing the votes were actually for NJPW on AXS since it's not like anyone reading the Observer is watching the Japanese run of World Pro Wrestling Returns, either. But the American show is not named any variation of WPW, so...yeah.

I have no problem admitting that I once voted for stuff I hadn't seen in the international section of the Torch's awards. I was also 9 years old at the time.

(Although it wouldn't be that surprising if Dave just combined all of the votes for NJPW shows and declared them as being for WPW.)

But he should be the undisputed champion of the WWE, not a midcarder losing all the time.

Like people say Jericho was underrated in WCW, even though he was regularly on TV. You can still be underrated if your push is way below what your skill/crowd reaction warrants.
Really the overrated and underrated sections are pretty weak; like I would rather put Samoa Joe as number 1 overrated because his two long rear end programs actively hurt NXT in 2016

Meanwhile Talking Smack is a show that is allowed to be voted on, but CWF Mid Atlantic isn't because it's "Online Only" man the criteria for the awards can be so dense and hypocritical

CWF was actually on a local NC station for a handful of episodes last year, not that Dave knew that or as if it would make a difference to him.

Big Daddy Yum Yum got hosed over and the nerdos didn't make a peep. Now some made up show didn't get enough votes and it's a conspiracy.

6 voted it best, actually. The Observer Awards uses a point system based on lists, rather than just straight votes..

I feel that Impact getting no #1 votes, but enough lower ballots to make the top 10 is telling. Not sure what it's telling of, but it's telling.

Dave has been talking up how good the show is for most of the year. I disagree personally but I bet more than a few people vote or voted based on his opinion without actually watching it, which NJPW probably benefits from as well.

Setter is Better.
NJPW winning best TV show for a loving months-old clip show was atrocious, and likely due to Talking Smack/SmackDown Live splitting votes.
