Male Wrestler of the Year: MJF
Female Wrestler of the Year: Kris Statlander
Worst Male Wrestler: Satnam Singh

Honorable mentions: Swerve Strickland and Roderick Strong have emerged as total superstars this year and I feel weird not including them here, especially Swerve, but I suspect he'll be in this discussion next year. Toni Storm has hit it big as well but I feel like Statlander came in and has just had banger after banger whereas Toni felt like a bit of an afterthought for a lot of the year.

Male Wrestler of the Year: Orange Cassidy-Runner up MJF, but OC has been the guy the company relied on to get crowds into the show
Female Wrestler of the Year: Toni Storm- Runner up Shida. Toni being able to get over from the mess that was the Outcast angle shouldn't be undervalued
Worst Male Wrestler: Parker Boudreaux- He was so bad they had to completely re-do Swerve's angle. I wanted to go with someone whose a regular but I can't really think of anybody whose been that bad.
Worst Female Wrestler: Big fan of her, but I'll go Taya. Again not too many choices, but it feels like any match she has had on tv has been a bit of a dud
Tag Team of the Year: FTR- They may not be the most popular act on the board, but nobody tells a better story in matches than Dax and Cash
Most Improved Wrestler/Team: Wrestler Julia Hart, Tag Team The Gunns: Have to give a shoutout to both. Julia has made a scary good amount of progress both as a wrestler and a character, and The Gunns... just look at the thread of people complaining when they became tag champs. Great year for all 3 of them
Young Wrestler of the Year: (27 and Under) MJF-Don't think it's really close. MJF has gotten better and better, Jack Perry has stagnated after the Christian feud, and Hook has improved but hasn't moved up the card yet.
Veteran of the Year: (45 and Above) Christian Cage-Obvious answer I feel. Best run of his career, has elevated a title that was in the dumps, and has become must see tv.
New Signing of the Year: (Oct '22 onwards) Jay White- Another guy who I think has become must see tv.
Male Match of the Year: Swerve v Hangman Texas Death Match- 2nd Favorite was Hangman vs Mox. Just a brutal brutal match.
Female Match of the Year: Jaime Hayter vs Shida-Honestly feel most of Hayter's title matches were a lot of fun
Show of the Year: All In- If not for the Punk drama would have gone down as one of the best shows of all time

That would have been my answer otherwise too. |
