It was weird this year for any promotion to win the award but someone had to. WWE wasn't bad in my opinion, at least compared to legitimately bad promotions like WCW in 2000 or TNA in 2010. NXT is great. Smackdown is usually good. RAW is the biggest problem, but that's partly just the time. It's clearly imperfect with a lot of flaws, but match quality is still at an all time high with women's wrestling getting a ton of spotlight that it should have gotten a long time ago. Their talent pool is also one of the deepest I've ever seen. It's probably more accurate to say they were the least good promotion this year. Which is probably why, oddly enough, WWE also came second for "Best Promotion"...won Worst mainly for Raw, and was runner-up for Best because of NXT & SD.

Don't underestimate how much damage the Saudi deal did.

Yes, in 2012. Ironically speaking the head booker was Bruce Prichard and now he is a Senior VP in the E. Can someone explain me how LU is worse than ROH?
ROH is just kind of there right now. The occasional entertaining match but just no buzz. They're content to be where New Japan can get a look at potential new gajins

Pretty much goes along with all the posts I see here "TNA ain't terrible like it used to be anymore". So that's a positive at least. Now if they could just get some actual buzz again. Not likely; They don't bring anything to the table, They just exist and will likely leech onto AEW eventually.

Didn’t tna once won best tv show but worst promotion? Not terribly surprising since TNA even when it was good was mostly creatively bankrupt and made a bunch of really stupid business decisions. It was just hidden behind really good in ring action especially compared to the WWE. Would not surprise me if a lot of the worst promo votes for the WWE are from some of its off screen things like the Saudi Deal.

AAA should’ve won it based only for Vampiro farting in commentary and the abortion that was Triplemania AAA (and Impact for that matter) really don't deserve "worst promotion" votes any more. They're not bad. AAA is one of my favorite promotions right now. It's just Triplemania for the last few years have been trainwrecks of epic and hilarious proportions like a comedy writer wrote this and wasn't real life. Dont forget last year Vampiro before farting was being a primadonna saying play my f*****g music!!
