what do you mean?

The WWE effect.

Remember, it doesn't last forever.

surely he's just unlucky that there are other wrestlers like braun strowman who are currently a bigger draw due to his physicality?

I think how they've pushed enzo is pretty good

They wasted him the minute he had a ppv match and sold for about 70% of the match against Dolph Ziggler. Same as Askua against Emma. If they're not 8 foot tall vince wont book them as killers. It's fucking moronic.

Casual racism award...

Was Mabel a good wrestler?

no.. his name came up on a site I was reading about records and then I had this vague memory of Mabel and Mo. I don't remember him well enough though

You might remember him better as Viscera / Big Daddy V? He was a poor big man wrestler, very limited. But worse, he had a rep for being reckless. His 'highlight' was the stinker summer slam main event against that other work horse Kevin Nash. For the WWF title no less.

I was toying with Miz for best character and that Orton Wyatt for worst match. I agree with the reason for Bray as worst wrestler, though it's not really his fault, his booking just kills his opponents.

Wrestler of the year: Kenny Omega

Woman of the year: Asuka

Worst Wrestler of the year: Jinder Mahal

Worst Match: Orton vs Bray Wyatt - WrestleMania

Wrestler of the year: Neville. What a transformation. After months of apathy, it turned out injuring himself was the best thing that could have happened to his career. Coming back to win the Cruiserweight Title as a heel, and crowning himself the King of the Cruiserweights, it was exactly what he, and the Cruiserweight division needed. Consistently great matches with a variety of opponents, and some great character work.

Tag Team of the year: The Uso's. I really wanted to give this to The Revival, but I can't justify it with them having been out half the year injured. The Uso's have been on fire this year though, and are well deserved winners.

Cruiserweight/Junior of the year: Pete Dunne. The breakout star of the UK Championship tournament, he went on to win the title from Tyler Bate at Takeover: Chicago in what I very nearly put down for Match of the Year, as well as continuing to have great appearances for Progress and ICW.

Woman of the year: Asuka. I mean it's not even close for second place is it? The most dominant wrestler of the year, who put on some of the matches of the year, although Ember Moon certainly played her part in some of those.

Match of the year: The Undisputed Era v The Authors of Pain & Roderick Stong v Sanity (WarGames Match, NXT: Takeover WarGames). This is always one of the toughest to pick. There have been a bunch of stellar matches this year And I went back and forward on this before settling on Wargames. Successfully resurrecting what had been at times in the past a somewhat confusing and overlong match, this was just right all the way though. With the quality of those involved, this shouldn't come as a surprise. 

Most Improved: Braun Strowman. Where the fuck did this guy come from? Whilst he started taking off at the tail end of last year, it was post Rumble that he seemed to strap himself to a rocket. Frankly, he should have been the one to face Taker. Considering that a year prior, this was the worst guy in the Wyatt Family, that's a hell of an ascent.

Most underrated: The Miz. Why the fuck is The Miz only a one time World Champion? This guy oozes star quality, he has genuine mainstream appeal, and elevates everyone he works with. A fantastic worker, and the best person on the mic the company has. If you haven't seen the infamous Talking Smack promo, go and watch it now. Every day The Miz isn't World Champion is a day WWE are leaving money on the table.

Character of the year: The Fashion Police. It doesn't matter that they haven't wrestled all that much. Fashion Files has been a revelation. They've gone from being totally lost in the shuffle to the best characters in the company. It goes to show that if you give people time, and let them explose their gimmick, they can get seriously over.

Worst Wrestler of the year: Shane McMahon. I'm so over Shane. I would generally not put someone on here who has only had 3 matches all year, but fucking hell. Please just piss off and never come back. I never want you to step in the ring ever again. If you must have someone who wrestles regularly, Grado is always a bag of shit.

Worst Match: Randy Orton v Bray Wyatt (House of Horrors match, Payback 2017). I'm not against weird ass matches like this. But do them well. Have them make sense. This was neither of those.

I also think KO has had a pretty bad year. His whiney baby type heel I dont think suits him as much as the cruel bully.

the miz has really turned it around for me this year. And yea, make him champ. The Miz would've been such a better heel than Jinder. Tbh though the money they've made in India from Jinder must be astronomical. 

When/where can we see their financial results?

They made fuck all from Jinder apparently, their India tour had to be changed from two shows to one because of lack of interest.

Female rumble? thoughts?
