Should show the top 5, instead of just the top 3.

To be fair, I got these off of reddit which only had the top 3. Alot better then other places that had just the winners.

That's cool.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

These award results are interesting because they give us a sense of like what the very, very most fervent wrestling fan likes, but I think it's hard for me to take it all that seriously. It's 4,000+ folks and when you consider the total audience is at the very least 2 million (accounting for some overlap between WWE and AEW), it's not really statistically significant.

That said, I can see the case for most awards given here. I think calling Takeshita the "most underrated" wrestler is kind of comical, though. He's had a breakout year, and I'd argue at this point he may not even be underutilized all that much.

[Timeless Hayterade]

I gotta say that I thought that WWE sending Titus O'Neil out there to do that promo about being a Global Ambassador in the wake of the allegations against Vince would have at least been top three in the "Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic" category.

Sami Zayn vs Johnny Knoxville being in Worst Match category and Michael Cole being in Worst Announcer category automatically makes this invalid

And "The 9 lives of Vince Mcmahon" should be nowhere near a best documentary list. Just recycled dark side footage of people who hated him before the allegations.

[Fade]

Some are spot-on. Some are ridiculous. But the one I’m most pissed off about is Corey Graves getting worst announcer when Kevin “I’m Literally a Pixar Movie Human from The 90s come to life” Patrick exists.

[Crappler El 0 M]

I can see having major disagreements with the winners or top 3, but there was relatively little support for Sami/Knoxville as Worst Match (17 votes out of a voter pool that was over 1,100 based on the US MVP vote). It seems most voters don't want to vote in the Worst categories, which is why you can win these categories with relatively small numbers compared to other categories. In that specific case it is understandable that a match that is so comedy-based would not appeal to some wrestling fans. In this case, 17 fans out of a pool of over 1,100.

[JoDaNa1281]

Tom Hannifan should've been in the top 10 best announcers.

Michael Cole needs his flowers, too. 23 votes is absolutely f***ing ridiculous. I get people like Kevin Kelly and all, but christ, just no.

WWE worst promotion?

Over CYN and NWA?!

Ok. Lol

I think it's the same sort of thing as someone saying Nickelback is the worst rock band, or Imagine Dragons, or saying Drake or whoever was the worst rapper. They obviously aren't, but the kind of person saying that isn't going to know what the real dirt worst stuff is.

CYN definitely would be worst to me, but it's honestly so low on the totem pole that I don't even know if I'd have thought to count it, since they only put together a couple of shows, didn't they? Not sure if they are still existing for EC3, or if even he is treating it as wholly defunct.

CYN is less of a promotion and more of a sad sad stunt.

NWA be trash tho

But I also have no issues with WWE winning worst promotion on morals alone.

And also also, I agree that STARDOM or hell DDT/TJPW deserved booker of the year.

AEW had its worst creativer year, NJPW was weak af, WWE had the Sami feud but besides that it was business as usal.

Best promoter is a weird one.

Why are Nick Khan, Triple H, Stephanie and Vince listed separately? Like how do you even gauge that Stephanie was the one to promote this live gate and not Nick Khan.

You're dealing with individual voters who supply their own answers without a ballot to choose from. At various times in 2022, Vince, Stephanie, Nick, and Paul all had different leadership roles. Stephanie and Nick both made public media appearances talking about the company (aka promoting). Same with Triple H. I guess some voters thought some of these leaders did a better job at promoting the company than others?

There was a similar issue with Takaaki Kidani (founder/executive at Bushiroad) and Rossy Ogawa (co-founder/executive of Stardom) both placing in Promoter of the Year. The way the results play out, it lists Rossy as promoter of Stardom and Kidani as promoter of New Japan, but Kidani does promotion for Stardom as well (Bushiroad owns both NJPW and Stardom), sometimes appearing in the ring for announcements or presentations as well as at press conference events. In other words, he serves the role of promoting for the company.

[thegame415]

Spoiler: AEW and NJPW win.

How is Cody vs Seth not in the top five for match of the year? I know, this is "opinion", but there's such a bias.

[smokinvokoun86]

I think while you can have a reasonable debate if AEW and Dynamite should have won. But to me it shows that while 2022 was their worst year creatively, they were still very damn good. Some things didn’t go right of course, but it really wasn’t as bad as some people would lead you to believe. Like some idiots on Reddit thought AEW in 2022 was comparable to WCW in 2000 levels of bad. And that simply isn’t true.

Sami Zayn vs Johnny Knoxville being in Worst Match category and Michael Cole being in Worst Announcer category automatically makes this invalid

Also Vince getting ANY votes for best promoter.

Observer subscribers and their forums especially are slanted pro-NJPW/AEW, to an extreme degree.

Exactly ! That's why I don't put much stock into these "awards" as an overall view of wrestling fans opinion as a whole.

When's the eligibility period? Because you probably had the tail end of 2021 as well as only most, instead of all of 2022.

IIRC, the booking change in WWE didn't really happen until late July/early August. So that's still a vast majority of Vince-dictated WWE creative during the eligibility period.

That said, I hope Michael Cole gets his respect for next year's awards, pending Angry Vince yelling in his ear becoming a thing again.

And just so people don't blame Meltzer for the results, he personally would've been a lot more favorable to WWE, including voting Triple H booker of the year.

They've never presented themselves as such. More Oscars or Golden Globe's, less People's Choice Awards.
