Guest Si82 Report post Posted January 30, 2003 The new issue of Power Slam hit the streets today and inside was the aformentioned 2002 Reader Awards. In case you don't know, Power Slam is a "smart" wrestling magazine published here in the UK and, in my opinion, probably the best wrestling magazine on the market. Anyway, here are the results: Wrestler Of The Year: Kurt Angle Match Of The Year: Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H (Summerslam) Feud Of The Year: Kurt Angle vs. Edge Babyface Of The Year: Rob Van Dam Heel Of The Year: Kurt Angle Tag Team Of The Year: Los Guerreros Card Of The Year: WWE Summerslam Character Of The Year: Kurt Angle Most Abysmal Wrestler Of The Year: Big Show Most Abysmal Match Of The Year: Trish Stratus & Bradshaw vs. Jackie Gayda & Christopher Nowinski Commentator Of The Year: Jim Ross Promotion Of The Year: WWE And there you have it.

Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted January 30, 2003 The only things I strongly disagree with are the match of the year and the commetator of the year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted January 30, 2003 No, I blame YOU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted January 30, 2003 I can't see how the WWE can be promotion of the year. They haven't done a successful thing all year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AM The Kid Report post Posted January 30, 2003 Because there isn't much else. If it's a European magazine they wouldn't have much about many other promotions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuna_Firerose 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2003 and the commetator of the year... What I'm curious about is why they did commentator...as in singular. Correct me if I'm wrong (which is usually the case), but I don't think any of the commentators would be great just by themselves, doing both play-by-play and color commentating.

Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted January 30, 2003 Most Abysmal Match Of The Year: Trish Stratus & Bradshaw vs. Jackie Gayda & Christopher Nowinski That's just too easy a pick. No doubt it was sucked, but look at the people in the match. Bradshaw is a hoss, Nowinski is still learning, Jackie has no hope, Trish works hard and is pretty good for a women's wrestler. Didn't Big Show and Bradshaw, or someone who supposed to have some experience have a match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Banky Report post Posted January 30, 2003 The only thing I highly disgree with is Jim Ross as best announcer. That fat slack jawed yokel is fucking terrible. He makes me pine for the days of Todd Pettingil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted January 30, 2003 How many promotions were considered in this fan poll? How many promotions get tv or PPV time in UK, is it just WWE, FWA, UFC? Chuck Palumbo is worst than Big Show! I prefer Smackdown announcers over Raw announcers anyday, JR and King can't even call a move, they are near Tony Schiavonie & Mark Madden lameness.

Guest wwF1587 Report post Posted January 31, 2003 yeah match of the year is way off... and commentating... JR.. ehh i dont know.. i like tazz better myself.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuna_Firerose 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2003 The one thing that makes SD so great is Cole/Tazz. Sure Cole and JR both have the "over-hyping" sickness...but at least Cole is better to listen to. If JR can have his "JRisms" (you all know his sayings, I'm sure).....then what are the Coleisms, if any? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted January 31, 2003 JR is the usedcar salesman of the WWF. Every single word he says is a souless shill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kurtangledoesnotsuck Report post Posted January 31, 2003 Boring poll. That match of the year, in my view, was Angle - Benoit at Unforgiven. The worst match was Triple H - Undertaker at King of the Ring, because these guys should deliver. Gayda is a clown, but at least it was her first rodeo.

Guest Si82 Report post Posted January 31, 2003 How many promotions were considered in this fan poll? How many promotions get tv or PPV time in UK, is it just WWE, FWA, UFC? Chuck Palumbo is worst than Big Show! Yep only those three promotions get any UK air time (as far as I'm aware). Big Show winning made a change, Hogan usually wins it hands down.

Guest Rob Edwards Report post Posted January 31, 2003 It's just a case of filling a form in, it is a fairly smart mag (well compared to the other options we have here) but I was ashamed of my country on the MOTY choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
