Don't forget, nominations will be open at the conclusion of the TLC show. And I will be looking your bonus Snowcone suggestions, as mentioned earlier in the thread. As such, that means that all nominations must be sent in by PM this year. Thanks.

Yeah, I have my tentative ballot ready to go, pending any major developments from tonight's TLC show.
Some categories were easier than others, in both the good and bad sense.

Disclaimer: Outside of Youtube clips, I havenât watched an episode of Raw since the night after Summerslam, and havenât watched a PPV (other than War Games) since Hell in a Cell, so anything thatâs happened after that probably wonât factor much into my voting.
Best Male Superstar: TOMASSO CIAMPA
I went back and forth between Ciampa and his almost year-long rival Johnny Gargano. If Iâm being honest, Gargano put on better matches with people other than Ciampa, but I really didnât like his heel turn and the overall final quarter of his time in 2018. Ciampa, on the other hand, has been a gem from the moment he returned until now. Not many people can garner âf*** you!â Chants from the NXT crowd unless theyâre shit at their job, but Ciampa pulled it off, and he definitely deserves it (in the best possible way).
Honorable Mentions: Johnny Gargano, Aleister Black, Velveteen Dream, Seth Rollins,
Worst Male Superstar: BROCK LESNAR
The absolute personification of the phrase âLazy Part-Timerâ. We had to sit through an entire year and a half of this lazy asshole being an absentee champion, and just when it seemed like it was over and he might f*** off for good, they put the title right back on him because Roman was forced to vacate it. The sooner Lesnar disappears from WWE forever, the sooner I might consider tuning back in again. Maybe.
Dishonorable Mentions: Shane McMahon
Best Female Superstar: BECKY LYNCH
Who else could it possibly be? The Man has been straight fire on TV and Twitter since the heel turn which shouldnât have worked, but did because sheâs just that great. Even before the heel turn, she was already on a roll, finally getting her legitimacy back by going through the entire Smackdown roster one-by-one after more than a year of being an afterthought. Hereâs hoping that momentum continues in 2019.
Honorable Mentions: Charlotte, Kairi Sane
The Eva Marie Memorial Snowcone for Worst Female Superstar: NIA JAX
Note: This would have gone to Tamina, but just like the last two times she hasnât done anything all year, so she doesnât even really qualify. AnywayâŠ
I donât like anything about Nia Jax, and havenât seen anything in her since she debuted in NXT. She was called up from NXT far too quickly, as evidenced by being mediocre in the ring, bad on the mic, hurting multiple people, and not having a single match that sticks out in my mind. She had a botched face turn that lasted a couple months before going right back to heel again, and she lacks any of the intimidating aura needed to be a good monster that they keep trying to push her as. So what good is she?
Dishonorable Mentions: Tamina, Bayley, Sasha Banks
Best Tag Team: UNDISPUTED ERA
I have to be honest: Undisputed Era got my vote by default. The tag division in WWE is just awful these days. Teams I used to like (New Day, Usos, Bar) have worn out their welcome and desperately need to move on to other things, and the rest of the teams are either split up, terrible, or canât get on TV enough to make an impression.
Honorable Mentions: Bludgeon Brothers (Probably would have gotten it if they werenât taken off the show for so long)
Worst Tag Team: N/A
Like I said, WWEâs tag division sucks right now. You have slap-dash teams like Gable & Roode, forgotten hanger-ons like Ascension and The Colons, and teams who could be awesome if they would actually be given the opportunity to do so like The Revival. How can I possibly choose a âWorstâ team, when I donât care about any of them?
Dishonorable Mentions: Uh⊠All of them?
Best Match: GARGANO VS CIAMPA NON-SANCTIONED MATCH
Shockingly, my top picks for Superstar of the Year had the MotY for me. I may have lost most of my passion for WWE in the last several months, but I can still go back and re-watch this match in particular to remind myself of why I still love pro wrestling after all these years.
Honorable Mentions: TakeOver New Orleans Ladder Match (technically, this was tied for first, but there can only be one vote, soâŠ), AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan WWE Title Match, Johnny Gargano vs Andrade Cien Almas NXT Title Match
Worst Match: BRAUN STROWMAN VS ROMAN REIGNS HIAC MATCH
Why did I lose my passion for WWE? This match. A Hell in a Cell match that ended in a No Contest. Let me repeat that: A HELL IN A CELL MATCH ENDED IN A NO CONTEST! And if that wasnât f***ing stupid enough, we also saw the two guys who were actually in the match lie on the floor for almost ten minutes while four guys who WERENâT in the match fought outside which led to a really underwhelming bump from the side of the cell through an announce table, and then Part-Time Brock showed up to hit both men with a broken table and an F-5, which neither man was able to recover from, leading to A f***ING NO CONTEST IN A HELL IN A CELL MATCH! f*** THIS COMPANY!
Dishonorable Mentions: Rollins vs Ziggler Iron Man Match, Asuka vs Camella Shark-Cage Match, Lesnar vs Reigns GRR Cage Match
Best Promo/Non-Wrestling Segment: ELIAS GETS BOOED FOR FIVE STRAIGHT MINUTES
I donât follow basketball (or any sport, really), but apparently Seattle is still a bit sensitive over losing the Supersonics. I had no idea how sensitive, and I donât think Elias did either when he brought that fact up, because he and Kevin Owens were forced to SHOUT the rest of their promo in order to be heard over the roaring boos of the crowd when it was clear that they werenât going to be stopping to let them talk. Elias may have turned face, but I somehow doubt that Seattle will be forgiving him anytime soon.
Honorable Mentions: Samoa Joe visits AJâs home, Beckyâs post-heel promos (pick one)
Worst Promo/Non-Wrestling Segment: LASHLEYâS SISTERS
Itâs been months, and I still have a hard time believing this actually happened. It was like The Old Day from last year, except this time they didnât have anyone admit on camera that the segment was shit.
Dishonorable Mentions: Roman whining about getting a Universal Title rematch.
Best PPV/Major Event: TAKEOVER NEW ORLEANS
Yeah, a Takeover, whoâda thought? The show my MotY and MotY Honorable Mention took place on, as well as the night Aleister Black won the NXT Title on. NXT always delivers, and this was the best of them for me.
Honorable Mentions: TakeOver War Games, Royal Rumble
Worst PPV/Major Event: HELL IN A CELL
A f***ING NO CONTEST IN A HELL IN A CELL MATCH!!
Dishonorable Mentions: Backlash, Crown Jewel, Survivor Series (Didnât actually watch the last two, but reading the results are enough to earn then a spot here.)
Best Feud: JOHNNY GARGANO VS TOMMASO CIAMPA
Superstar and Runner-up of the year⊠Match of the Year⊠yeah, obvious choice again for me. These two men have had the best respective year of their WWE careers, and while I do feel like itâs gone on longer than it needed to, the two always bring their A-game when theyâre in the ring together, and Iâm still interested to see what the actual end game of the feud is going to be. I really hope Iâm not disappointed.
Honorable Mentions: Becky vs Charlotte
Worst Feud: ROMAN REIGNS VS BROCK LESNAR
So, picture this: Youâve been building up this one guy for four years, desperately wanting to make him the face of your company, and heâs in the main event of Wrestlemania against the man he couldnât beat three years prior. What do you do? Why, have him lose clean after spending half the match in an unmoving heap on the floor, obviously! And then you have him complain when heâs given a free rematch at the next pay-per-view, which he also loses! And then! He gets one more rematch a few months later at Summerslam. Time to give him that big decisive win over his long-time rival, right? Yes! If, by big decisive win you mean hitting a fluke Spear and pinning him after the other guy spends more than half the match ignoring him in order to beat up someone else whoâs not even in the match! But hey, at least heâs finally the champion, right? Oh wait, he has cancer. And now the belt is right back on the other guy, and he hasnât been on television again since. Wow, itâs almost like he never lost it in the first place.
Dishonorable Mentions: Lashley vs Zayn, Sasha vs Bayley (If you can actually call this a âfeudâ.
Most Improved Superstar: BUDDY MURPHY
Buddy Murphy went from a tag-team I didnât care about in NXT, to a singles star I didnât care about in NXT, to probably the best thing going on 205 Live. And this is coming from someone who doesnât even watch 205 Live all that regularly.
Honorable Mentions: Mustafa Ali, Elias, Lana
Most Exciting Moment: DANIEL BRYAN RETURNS TO WRESTLING
From the moment I heard the news, I knew this was going here. After his premature retirement, and seeing the lengths he was willing to go to, seeing Daniel Bryan in the ring again was as amazing as it was heartwarming. And while things have been a bit rocky for him in the booking department, the fact that heâs once again WWE Heavyweight Champion makes his comeback even better for me.
Honorable Mentions:
Most Hilarious Moment: TITUS WORLD SLIDE
Come on, what else could it possible be? The f***ing Shockmaster was clowning Titus after he saw this!
Most Disappointing Moment: RAW 25
The 24th anniversary of Monday Night Raw wasnât just one of the worst episodes this year, it may well have been one of the worst episodes of all time! A complete shit show that screwed a large number of people out of their money by giving them next to nothing in the Manhattan Center (and apparently bored JR and Lawler to sleep), brought in dozens of WWE alumni to smile and wave to the people before leaving, never to be seen again, and absolutely nothing memorable to speak of. The show that was supposed to celebrate twenty-five years of Raw ended up making me wonder how the show survived that long in the first place.
Dishonorable Mentions: Braunâs heel turn, Beckyâs injury, Romanâs Leukemia, Rusev Day breaking up
Most Embarrassing Moment: LASHLEYâS SISTERS
Already gave my reasoning for this. Garbage.
Most WTF? Moment: ROMANâS LEUKEMIA ANNOUNCEMENT
I had already stopped watching Raw by the time this happened, so imagine my shock when I check in on the FAN and see a thread about Roman dropping the Universal title and leaving the show because he had cancer? It really put things into perspective, and just reinforced that, while I hate Roman Reigns, I have a ton of respect for Joe Anoaâi. Get well soon, dude.
Honorable Mentions: Lesnar curbstomping Reigns at Mania,
Best Spot: ORTON STRETCHING HARDYâS EAR W/ SCREWDRIVER
I thought Randy sticking his finger in Jeffâs ear-hole and yanking was sick, but then he had to go the extra mile and twist the thing with a f***ing screwdriver. Braun Strowman threw Kevin Owens off a cage through an announce table, and it didnât garner anywhere near the sort of reaction that Orton got for doing this.
This list may potentially change before the voting closes, assuming I remember something about this year that slipped my mind as I was compiling the list.

Best Male Superstar: Johnny Gargano
Worst Male Superstar: Shane McMahon
Best Female Superstar: Becky Lynch
The Eva Marie Memorial Snowcone for Worst Female Superstar: Tamina (I really wanted to put Jax but as long as Tamina is employed she takes this)
Best Tag Team: The Bar
Worst Tag Team: Lucha House Party (There are probably worse performance wise but their whole gimmick is super cringy and makes zero sense, Revival don't deserve this)
Best Match: Johnny Gargano vs Tomasso Ciampa: Unsanctioned Match (NXT TakeOver New Orleans)
Worst Match: HHH and Shawn Michaels vs Taker and Kane (Crown Jewel)
Best Promo/Non-Wrestling Segment: Elias vs Seattle (with Kevin Owens)
Worst Promo/Non-Wrestling Segment: Undertaker shills Crown Jewel amid controversy and leaves, his first Smackdown segment in over a year.
Best PPV/Major Event: NXT TakeOver New Orleans
Worst PPV/Major Event: WWE Crown Jewel
Best Feud: Tomasso Ciampa vs Johnny Gargano (Which kinda included Aleister Black and Velveteen Dream later?)
Worst Feud: Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns
Most Improved Superstar: Velveteen Dream
Most Exciting Moment: Daniel Bryan is cleared/Ensuing Speech Most Hilarious Moment: Bray Wyatt vs Broken/WOKEN Matt Hardy at The Compound. I'd say "Enzo gets gutchecked by security at Security at Survivor Series" but technically that wasn't a part of the show...
Most Disappointing Moment: Can every Samoa Joe moment count here? Like seriously he has looked like a bitch ALL YEAR, every feud. If I have to pick ONE, Samoa Joe gets eliminated in seconds via Drew McIntyre at Survivor Series
Most Embarrassing Moment: WWE Crown Jewel, the entirety of the PPV. The fact they went on with it and didn't change venue, the fact they shot Shawn's confidence to hell, the fact HHH tore a pectoral in the match, Kane's mask fell the hell off, like a week after the WOMEN MATTER Evolution Event... it was horrid on paper and PR wise. Most WTF? Moment: Roman Reigns announces he has Leukemia, effectively steps down from active wrestling competition and vacates the Universal Title
Best Spot: Ricochet's Double Moonsault off the cage (TakeOver: War Games)

Thanks for all the votes so far, guys. One favour, though... If you're going to send in votes, please only post them in either my PMs or the thread, not both. This is just so I don't lose track of things and end up counting the same ballot twice. Thanks.

... Oh, we aren't all doing short write-ups? Why didn't anyone tell me. Crap.
Best Male Superstar: Daniel Bryan I might be super biased in this call because he was my favorite when he retired, but he came back and while it may have taken a while for him to get back to those heights, his current heel run, his match with AJ, and even the match he got out of Brock all stand as testaments to why he has always been just the goddamn best. Honourable Mention: AJ styles, who has brought it just fine but who has gone on way too long in his spot.
Worst Male Superstar: Baron Corbin His visual transformation from metalcore roadie with the world's unhappiest torso to a stuffy prep school metal kid who thinks he has legitimate cred at both at his assist manager position at his dad's Olive Garden and at the Slayer concert--while also thinking liking Slayer gives him metal cred--is the only positive for him. He's just been atrocious. Honourable Mention: Bobby Lashley, whose desire for us to look at his ass is just the living embodiment of what loyal years-long Raw viewers have been experiencing for years.
Best Female Superstar: Becky Lynch In a year where the expectation was Ronda Rousey being the only woman the company was going to make matter, Becky's rise and the way the office has gotten behind her in the process is nothing short of astounding. Honourable Mention: Ember Moon, because even if she's not doing anything she's still my boo and I'm so sorry
The Eva Marie Memorial Snowcone for Worst Female Superstar: Brie Bella Regardless of how anyone feels about Brie, coming back for a series of not-so-good matches where she injures people and then f***ing right back off into obscurity was always going to land her onto this list. Honourable Mention: Nia Jax. 2018 looked like it was going to be Nia's year and her Mania win got her a huge pop the next night, but it's all been downhill since then.
Best Tag Team: The Usos Tag team work has been great this year but there is no upward momentum for anyone right now, where on Smackdown it's the same few teams over and over while on Raw it's a bunch of losers who can't get any lasting impact. So we default to last year's picks just because in terms of thier matches, the brothers are still bringing it. Honourable Mention: The Bar. See above.
Worst Tag Team: Braun Strowman by himself Who thought this was a good idea? Who thought this was a good idea two and a half times? Honourable Mention: Vince McMahon and his bitterness tag teaming me in USER HAS BEEN BANNED FOR THIS POST
Best Match: Gargano vs. Ciampa at NXT Takeover: New Orleans The platonic ideal of what a payoff grudge match should look like. Shame how the aftermath went. Honourable Mention: Asuka/Becky/Charlotte at TLC. It's too fresh and too new for me to be sensible about it, but goddamn.
Worst Match: Roman/Brock at Greatest Royal Rumble A match that may not have been the worst and most terrible thing, but one thing is for sure: it killed my interest in the company so hard I didn't watch anothe moment of the show for months. Honourable Mention: Man this year has been too long for me to even f***ing know. It all just bleeds together.
Best Promo/Non-Wrestling Segment: Smackdown womens' invasion of Raw STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD! Honourable Mention: Any segment with Miz dressed like he wants to be the next Hokage, if only because I can always get some Photoshop fun going off of it.
Worst Promo/Non-Wrestling Segment: Bobby Lashley's "sisters" It was like the Raw segment equivalent of an Aristocrats joke. Honourable Mention: Shane McMahon threatens the jobs of his wrestlers. Again.
Best PPV/Major Event: Evolution An amazing breath of fresh air for a main roster show, something so exciting and fresh and different. It was great, and it felt fun to watch. Uplifting. A rarity for main roster PPVs these days. Honourable Mention: NXT Takeover: New Orleans. Takeovers being good is just kind of expected, but New Orleans was a show that left even most of those in the dust. Goddamn.
Worst PPV/Major Event: Backlash Backlash was like one of those nights where you take Nyquil because you have a cold, but you have an increased sensitivity to dextromethorphan and even a standard dose gets you f***ed up, so you spend the night weaving in and out of lucid dreams blending reality and fantasy together so much that you basically spend the next ten hours of sick sleep in a prison of your own mind. Honourable Mention: Summerslam. The only bright spot of that entire mess was Demon Balor. That was it. Only Demon Balor.
Best Feud: Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair A feud that has put on good match after good match and elevated both to new heights. Honourable Mention: Bryan/AJ can get there honestly, and I can't even think straight anymore so let's go there.
Worst Feud: Sami Zayn vs. Bobby Lashley The day may come when this feud and its every segment is looked back on as an influential dadaist master work, as something later generations look at and twist into memes and remixed ideas bringing about something truly impressive. That day is not today. Honourable Mention: Brock Lesnar versus my f***ing patience
Most Improved Superstar: Liv Morgan In an era where a lot of women get called up too soon from developmental, especially the ones who always took a back seat and never got much air time to shine in the first place, Liv has grown leaps and bounds and earned the spot she's in. Honourable Mention: This year's too long for me to even remember how people wrestled a month ago, come on man.
Most Exciting Moment: Daniel Bryan's return at Wrestlemania Genuine feelgood moments like that in wrestling are just so rare and so incredible. Not only did Bryan come back from what should havebeen the end, but he did so at Wrestlemania. It was absolutely perfect. Honourable Mention: Roman beats Brock at Summerslam, thereby breaking the curse.
Most Hilarious Moment: Big Cass big leaguing a little person because he decided his wrestling character really hating dwarves needed to get across. Because nothing is more beautiful or more pro wrestling than a man going against direct refusal from his boss to not extend a beatdown segment over an impersonator dwarf. Honourable Mention: Brock retaining at Wrestlemania. It had me in stitches
Most Disappointing Moment: Brock regaining the title at Crown Jewel WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? Honourable Mention: Every time a pre-show match cuts to commercial, and I remember that there is no good in this world.
Most Embarrassing Moment: WWE going ahead with Crown Jewel I can say literally nothing about this because of rules but yikes. Big yikes. The biggest yikes. Honourable Mention: Enzo Amore's music career.
Most WTF? Moment: Shane McMahon winning the Best in the World tournament at Crown Jewel We're WCW now, boys. Honourable Mention: Roman Reigns announcing his cancer came back and stepping down. Very sad, messed me up for a night, was not anything I could have expected.
Best Spot: Randy Orton taking a screwdriver to Jeff's stretchers In a year of flips and dives and people going all out in ways that have everyone taking breaks due to injury, the most amazing single thing to take place in a WWE ring was a man, a screwdriver, and the life decisions of a man who never stopped being 19. Just absolutely visceral and also exactly how I'm beating my brother in a fight next time. Honourable Mention: Can I say the whole six-way ladder match at Takeover New Orleans? Because that.
Bonus award: Most Photoshoppable Moment of the Year: "Paige here." Thanks to a convergence of WWE's terrible make-up team, a kind of silly facial expression that wasn't needed, and a split frame capture of the least flattering second of that face, FAN was given a gift in 2018 that pierced through all of the negativity and the unhappiness to become an enduring running gag just as present in Photoshop threads as Booker T with the Scott Hall picture. Thanks to a segment with Paige looking like the living embodiment of every time I've ever gotten way too drunk at a metal concert, which WWE was happy to repeat over and over for a solid few weeks to promo the movie, we were inundated over and over by make-up artistry that would get someone run out of a funeral home, and it gave birth to a beautiful thing. Things might not be too bright and happy in WWE Current, but there is no doubt that in 2018, within all of our hearts, Paige was here.
