This is not your typical WWE year end poll

[Lord of The Curry 0]

So we always do the "Who's the best" polls and those are all well and good but this is a beast of a different breed. Have fuckin' fun.

 

1. Move of the year- If we're going by the Wrestling Observer calendar, Brocks german suplex to Benoit in their Smackdown match was absolutely fucking sick. Brock had the best germans and this one was no different. If we're going by Jan 1'st 2004 standards then my vote goes to Jamie Noble reversing a slingshot plancha by Rey Mysterio into a bridging northern lights suplex on Velocity post-Mania. I actually jumped out of my chair when he did that one. I miss Noble.

 

Honourable mentions- Ortons's RKO on Foley at WrestleMania and Bradshaws lariat on Eddy during their cage match.

 

2. Best Dressed- DAVE's pimp suit at WrestleMania takes this in a walk.

 

Honourable mentions- Flair's black robe that he rocked on RAW against Lawler last week, Eddy's scarface shirt and the "outfit" that Trish wore to Lita and Kane's wedding.

 

3. WWE Homoeroticism Award- TIE between any time that Evolution is cutting a promo as a group and the backstage segment between Benoit and Eddy that was an extra on the SummerSlam DVD. It's worth picking the DVD up for those 5 minutes alone.

 

4. Promo of the Year- Benoit in Calgary the night after Backlash. The "Stu" chant still gives me chills to this day.

 

Hourable mentions- Luther Reigns promo on Big Show two weeks ago on SD was fucking badass. I really liked how Heyman does his promo's w/ Heidenreich.

 

5. Bump o' the Year- Orton's missed RKO onto the thumbtacks at Backlash. Nothing comes close.

 

Honourable mentions- Benjamin dying on a missed Stinger Splash against Jericho on the first RAW after Taboo Tuesday.

 

Feel free to add your own (but keep the questions legit) and let's have some content-rich fun!

3. Every HHH nose-2-nose confrontation. Special mention Snitsky and Hendreich at the PPV.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Move of the Year: Benjamins slingshot reverse suplex on Christian @ Survivor Series.

 

Best Dressed: Kidmans new Jacket.

 

WWE Homoeroticism Award: HHH/Batista... tell him

 

Promo of the Year: Foleys promos on Orton, can't pick one right now.

 

Bump o the year: Londons face implant (Velocity)

 

Biggest Missed Opportunity: Regal and Eugene. They could have made a main eventer here with Regal during the Summer.

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

The best Foley promo on Orton was the one where Foley was backstage sitting down, and had the barbed wire baseball bat, and it ended with Foley smashing up the set with the bat.

[Guest Real F'n Show]

Cool thread.

 

1. Move of the year- London's SSP at No Mercy (even though it hit knees...)

 

Honourable mentions-Benjamin's slingshot reverse suplex spot mentioned above

 

2. Best Dressed- Gotta go with the Pimp suit here too.

 

Honourable mentions- Benoit's tights the last few weeks have ruled. (the yellow and gray ones)

 

3. WWE Homoeroticism Award- Snitsky and Heidenreich at SS. "I like your poetry" "I like what you do to babies"

 

4. Promo of the Year- The first "Barbie" promo from Foley

 

Hourable mentions- Benoit in Calgary, Eddie's promo before No Way Out

 

5. Bump o' the Year- Orton's missed RKO onto the thumbtacks

 

Honourable mentions- London nearly dying last night on Velocity

[The Mandarin 0]

Move of the Year: Triple H's Pedigree into the Crossface at WMXX. I almost died.

 

Best Dressed: BIG DAVE styling across the planet. Trish at the wedding comes in a close second.

 

WWE Homoeroticism Award: Garrison Cade/Coach.

 

Promo of the Year: Randy Orton on Mick Foley at WMXX. The flashbacks pretty much made it.

 

Bump o' the year: Didn't see London dying last night, so I'll go with Orton being thrown off the stage at Backlash.

 

Biggest Missed Opportunity: Edge's return. I think if they hadn't completely blown it, they wouldn't have had to turn him heel.

Castration of the Year: Rock putting a stop to any fourth-generation Ortons with his OBVIOUS low blow at WrestleMania XX.

 

Feel-Good Moment of the Year: Whenever Benoit wins

Runner-up- Rock showing up to verbally save Eugene

 

Father of the Year: Shane McMahon for not showing up on TV

 

Jeremy Piven Award (Smarmiest Character): Christian

 

Most Underrated Intercontinental Title Match of the Year: Randy Orton vs. Val Venis, HEAT

[Tawren 0]

1. Move of the year- If this is the WON calendar, then Brock's wacky submission on Benoit on 12/4 last year gets the nod.

 

2. Best Dressed- BATISTA. WMXX. LOVE IT.

 

3. WWE Homoeroticism Award- Aside from the obvious Heidenreich/Snitsky SS segment, lets say Kurt Angle fucking Big Show up the ass with a german suplex on the ring apron.

 

4. Promo of the Year- I seem to recall Regal having a great one about Eugene. "I may be a bad man, but I see good in him" or something. Maybe it wasn't great because I don't remember much else, but I liked it.

 

5. Bump o' the Year- Coffey reminded me, Spike and La Resistance. HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. (if that was this year. I honestly can't remember)

[The Mandarin 0]

Wait, I change my promo of the year pick to that one Regal did on Triple H before Triple H tipped over his stretcher later in the night.

 

Regal got mega face heat.

 

Best WWE Forum Image/.gif: DJ Jazzy Jeff getting thrown out of the mansion.

Runner-up: The black kid yelling "Oh Snap!" that somebody posted during *that* diva search segment.

[Guest Coffey]

Match of the Year: Wrestlemania XX 3-Way: Triple H, Chris Benoit & Shawn Michaels.

 

Runner Up: No Way Out: Eddie Guerrero Vs. Brock Lesnar

 

Bump of the Year: Was it this year that La Resistance fucked up the double powerbomb on Spike Dudley through the table on the outside of the ring?

 

Best Dressed: Triple H rocking the WHITE BOOTS at Wrestlemania XX.

 

Runner Up: Kane at his wedding.

 

Comedic skit of the year: Eugene holding up the Triple H water bottle.

[Guest netslob]

Castration of the Year: Rock putting a stop to any fourth-generation Ortons with his OBVIOUS low blow at WrestleMania XX.

my nominee for Castration of the Year: Vince McMahon's burial of Stevie Richards last week on RAW.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Can a MOD edit Coffey's post about his Match of the Year? It's a bit out of place in this thread. We're talking about head drops and cool outfits, not wrestling.

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0]

Best Match: Triple Threat World Heavyweight Title match at WM.

 

The Bombed match: Brock Lesnar vs. Bill Goldberg

 

Retro Act of the Year: The Undertaker

 

PPV of the Year: WM 20

[Downhome 0]

3. WWE Homoeroticism Award- Aside from the obvious Heidenreich/Snitsky SS segment, lets say Kurt Angle fucking Big Show up the ass with a german suplex on the ring apron.

3. WWE Homoeroticism Award- Aside from the obvious Heidenreich/Snitsky SS segment, lets say Kurt Angle fucking Big Show up the ass with a german suplex on the ring apron.

 

Yes. Dear god, yes. That is it.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

OH COME ON PEOPLE!

 

Evolutions group talks were 10X gayer then that. Flair was practically gagging on HHH's cock while HHH and Batista shared their man-love with long stares and rough embraces.

[Downhome 0]

I'm sorry, but nothing can top the Angle/TBS moment and the Heidenreich/Snitsky encounter.

[razazteca 0]

HHH, HBK, Benoit posed for a triple kiss on a Raw before one of their PPV matches was Alexander gay.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

If we're going by Jan 1'st 2004 standards then my vote goes to Jamie Noble reversing a slingshot plancha by Rey Mysterio into a bridging northern lights suplex on Velocity post-Mania. I actually jumped out of my chair when he did that one. I miss Noble.

While a pretty sweet move, I dug the finish to the 1st Knoble/London match: Northern Lights suplex by London on Knoble, reversed directly into Knoble's Paydirt for the submission win. I believe London tried to skin the cat in that match, too, only to have Knoble dropkick him in mid-move, sending London to a flat-back bump right to the floor. Man, those 2 had some good matches together.

[Guest mickberna]

WWE Homoeroticism Award

 

I can't believe you are all dismissing the anal raping of Michael Cole by Heidenreich. That's far gayer than any Evolution promo.

[AnonymousBroccoli 0]

WWE Homoeroticism Award

Come on. It's not even close.

 

Promo of the Year

Foley's in-ring promo with Orton, with him punching himself in the forehead and drawing blood

The Eugene segments two weeks in a row with The Rock, then Triple H

 

Bump of the Year

London's Sabu impression on Velocity

Orton on the thumbtacks

RVD's release German suplex on René Duprée on SD! a few months ago

Any time Benoit runs head on into the turnbuckles

 

(The Spike bump was leading up to Unforgiven '03, I believe.)

 

Best Dressed

Christian's "charismatic" new gold-sequined hooded shirt. (Just kidding. I don't know fashion.)

 

Best Sign

"Lita is a Dumas"

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Nah, Prison Rape is more violent than gay. What goes on between HHH and Batista is physical AND emotional. It's a different layer that really adds to the homoeroticism, which Heidenreich/Cole didn't have. With Heid/Cole, you didn't get the feeling there was an attraction between the two, with HHH/Batista, it's like "these two are about to go down on each other".

[Hogan Made Wrestling 0]

One "great" homoerotic moment, which either happened earlier this year or maybe last year, was an evolution promo where Orton posed and flexed, and Triple H rubbed his hand across Orton's ribs from behind. It was straight out of Michaels-era DX.

[JoeDirt 0]

Move of the Year: Foley's dive off the stage onto Orton at Backlash. Can't really think of a lot of high spots in the WWE this year.

 

Best Dressed: Batista at Mania. Not even close.

 

WWE Homoeroticism Award: Heidenrape.

 

Promo of the Year: The good Foley ones have already been mentioned...I actually liked the Orton/Flair promo before Taboo Tuesday, the only good mic work Randy has ever done, really.

 

Bump of the year: London landing on his neck this past week on Velocity. Oh, and Spike's head hitting the edge of that table...or was that last year?

 

Best sign: Batista mentioned this one on the WWE website..."I saw Batista at Walmart" So random it's awesome.

 

And my new ones:

 

The Steve Blackman school of charisma award: Tyson Tomko

 

The "what the fuck were they thinking" award: WWE managment for planning to put Kenzo Suzuki in a main event feud with Chris Benoit on RAW as Hirohito without EVER HAVING SEEN HIM FUCKING WRESTLE!

 

The Repo Man cheesy gimmick award: Mordecai

 

Most annoying thing of the year: Orton's pose. Runner up should apparently be Todd Grisham doing Heat, though I've never heard him.

[Guest hhheld_down]

i want to see the heidenrape/snitsky confrontation before i vote. well its not something i WANT to see but what the hell

[evilhomer 0]

Wait, I change my promo of the year pick to that one Regal did on Triple H before Triple H tipped over his stretcher later in the night.

 

Regal got mega face heat.

Dear dear dear dear. Someone has lost their temper, haven't they? I hate to be the one to inform you, lad, but, Eugene isn't here this week. You honestly don't think that I would lead that lamb to slaughter, no no no no. What kind of a man do you think would let Eugene into the building last week? Rather perplexing question, isn't it? What kind of a diabolical villain do you think would tell Eugene to get involved in your match? It was me, sunshine! You see, me and you know each other very well indeed, don't we? Let me give you people a little history lesson. Eleven years ago, me and you were a tag team in WCW. In fact, I was your mentor, wasn't I? Yes indeed I was. What can I say? I mean, let's face facts - some people, people like us, we're just born naughty, we are. That's why we gravitated toward each other. And if you would have used and abused anyone else except for that poor, dear boy Eugene, I would have applauded your cunning. But for a clever man like yourself...it was very foolish to take advantage of a disadvantaged boy. Because now, you've made an enemy out of me! And if you want to fight, look no bloody further! Because I will quite gladly now, go and change into my ring attire, and I will join you back in that ring, and I will BATTLE YOU with EVERY OUNCE of VILE AND VENOM that RUNS THROUGH MY VEINS!

Awesomeness.

 

 

But my vote goes to the Foley rocking chair barbie promo, that one was absolutely chilling.

 

 

Homoeroticism: Evolution in a landslide. There were moments that were more homosexual, but as far as expecting two guys to break into a passionate embrace at any moment, week in and week out Evolution gets that award. (dis)Honorable mention to Snitsky/Heidenreich.

 

 

Sign of the year: (at TNA but WWE related)

SIGN EVERYONE

(except A-Train)

 

 

It's about goddamn time award: Test

[Open the Muggy Gate 0]

Let's see...

 

Homoerotic moment of the year: That's not just rape..... that's....

 

Bump of the year: You talk about Orton landing in the tacks, and yeah, that was fucking brutal... but what about flying off that stage and landing with the tacks STILL in his body? That's gotta kill him.

 

Pimp of the Year: Batista. Hands down. NEXT!

 

Worst babysitter of the year: Gene Snitsky. He's our lord and saviour you know...

 

Best Promo: Eddie Guerrero's promo against Brock where he was talking about his sacrifices. Awesome stuff.

 

The Christopher Daniels "You are totally underused" award: Paul London

 

and finally....

 

Most likely to be related to Jim Neidhart: Spike Dudley

[Insane Bump Machine 0]

1. Move of the year- The sweet chin music on Benoit while he had HHH in the sharpshooter (at Wrestlemania, I think). Came out of nowhere and looked fucking nasty.

 

2. Best Dressed- Batista of course.

 

3. WWE Homoeroticism Award- Heienreich and Snitsky

 

4. Promo of the Year- Benoit's 'passion' promo with Maven three weeks ago is the first thing that comes to mind

 

5. Bump o' the Year- The missed RKO on the thumbtacks probably. Not much to choose from if you don't count botched moves.

 

6. Best athletic feat of the year: Snitsky's baby punt

 

7. Best fan participation: Either the infamous wave during JBL/UT or the reaction to Goldberg and Lesnar at WMXX. The 'baby killer' chant was nice as well.

[Quit Calling My Mama 0]

Move of the year-

 

Orton missing the RKO on Jericho

 

 

Best Dressed

 

 

HEIDENREICH + Jacket.

 

 

Promo of the Year

 

Eddie/Brock confrontation before No Way Out where Eddie loses it and tlaks about his drug problems etc.

 

 

Bump o' the Year

Match of the year

 

 

Wrestlemania XX main event

[Art Sandusky 0]

"You're Batman!" moment of the year: Shelton Benjamin cradles Randy Orton while putting the Figure Four on Flair at Bad Blood.

[Guest Fook]

Best crowd chant: "Baby killer!" at Snitsky. Honourable mention to "Spanish table!" at Summerslam. I'm pretty sure there were some during the diva search I'm forgetting.

 

Sgt. Slaughter award (most ethically wrong character, actually used or just proposed): Heidenreich as the frozen nazi. Honourable mention to Mohammad Hassan and Suzuki as Hirohito's descendent.
