Can't believe Roman Reigns was deprived of Best Non-Wrestler I can however believe that Kento Miyahara was robbed in multiple categories. Dumbass marks paying for a newsletter.

yea ok posted:lol Dave He's just not capable of crying that his friend Triple H didn't win. The only Observer Award result I care about is NWA Samhain getting 89 votes for Worst Major Event after the PPV itself only had 212 buys. To me that's beautiful.

Sanada was such a poo poo IWGP champion that we were robbed of muh muh muh muh muh tribal chief winning most overrated. I hate him. Anyway, yea ok posted:Promotion of the year - WWE loving kill me. God, American wrestling in 2023 was so loving abysmal.

At least Booker T won his award. Hard earned & with plenty of competition from the little WWE I've seen from the likes of Corey Graves.

These all seem pretty reasonable except for WWE winning promotion, booker, and promoter of the year. Feels more like that's voters who were frustrated with MJF's title reign voting against AEW than anything else.

Nah, it's because people have convinced themselves that the last twelve months of the Bloodline have been "cinema". When really, it's got all the twists of Shyamalan, all the padding of Dragon Ball, and none of the charm of either.

It's so transparently some kind of Gotcha win. Frustratingly stupid hobby. I know why I'm angry. I'm angry because people voted the rape factory as promotion of the year. And it wasn't just rape accusations it was accusations that go back years and outright state that a ton of people at the top and therefore who run the promotion have created a system to keep the human trafficking going. And not only that, the more we look at past stuff that was just on WWE tv we can pretty much tell this company has been abusing it's employees and performers for decades. I'm pissed off about it
