🏆 2020 FAN Golden Snowcones - AEW Section (WINNERS p2)

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Sorry about the short notice or the lack of flair. 2020's kicked all our asses.

For the tenth time, it's FAN's night of nights as we run the fine-toothed comb over wrestling television in what has been an insane 2020 in FAN's Wrestling Awards, the "Golden Snowcones".

From here, the results will be calculated and the winners will be announced on or around New Year's Day 2021, pending any more real life stuff that comes up. I'm not promising that I'll do a big write-up about them like in the past, but if I do, at least there'll be some results to base them upon.

And as always, do remember that it's all in good fun.

It ended about a month into this year. The peak WTF of Luther's debut, as I notated, came on 1/8, and then their final Dynamite match came the next week before they were slowly dismantled via a Dark match and some weird Brandi vignettes that went from "try to salvage this" to "light this on fire" between the first video and the second.
