Wrestler of the Year

Kurt Angle/Beniot/Eddie - They have been great forever. I always look forward to watching to see them wrestle. R.I.P. Eddie.

 

Match of the Year

Shelton vs Shawn - Although I did like the Flair match from SS with Carlito. I marked when he hit the spot from the top rope.

 

Feud of the Year

Batista / HHH - I woukld have said Rey/Eddie, but Dominic holmes ruined this fued. It was good when Rey was getting brainbusters on steps.

 

Best Brawler

Batista - Big Dave is good at what he does.

 

Best High Flier

Rey- They banned all of that shit. If they let them do high flying moves it would be Paul London.

 

 

Best Tag Team

MNM

 

Most Underrated

Big Dave- He is a great guy, he is working through pain, and even when he is winning he gets shit. I think people over look him when saying who is good.

 

Most Overrated

John Cena - He has not

 

Best Promos

Christian - When they were in Canada. He said they needed the 3 C's of Cool, Canadian, and Christian. That and Tomko..Give me a beat.

 

Best PPV

One Night Stand/ If you want WWE Summerslam

 

Worst PPV

Great American Bash - Because the killed Hassan.

Wrestler of the year is Eddie Guerrero, who single-handedly carried the very awful SmackDown after John Cena left. He did some superb (over)acting against the bland Rey Mysterio. His storyline with Batista was also very humorous. Eddie just did good work all year. You could also argue that about Kurt Angle, but he didn't carry a program in the way Eddie did.

 

Feud of the year is Orton and Undertaker, who have put on two or three very good matches with an okay storyline and some cool visuals.

 

Match of the year is Angle vs. Michaels from WrestleMania.

 

Best brawler would be JBL. That's pretty much all he can do, but he does it well. He threw some great-looking worked punches against the Blue Meanie at ONS.

 

Best high flier is Paul London. He did shit on Velocity that I'm shocked didn't get him fired (i.e. landing on the top of his head once every match; wrestling an athletic contest). Thankfully nobody watches that show. He's one of my runners up for wrestler of the year, just because he didn't fully work in WWE style for a long time.

 

Best tag team is MNM. Absolutely useless by themselves, they put on a few enjoyable tag matches.

 

Most underrated is John Cena, who had a string of good matches from May to late August, when he was at his peak. He's not entirely worthless.

 

Most overrated is Carlito. While everyone, including me, realizes that he is absolutely worthless in the ring, his promos are what are overrated. They are unintelligible and lousy. Carlito is the worst wrestler of the year. Rey Mysterio was also very overrated this year, I thought Guerrero carried their feud. He also wasn't on his A-game for their WrestleMania or Summerslam matches, the ones that mattered. Plus, he let his frigging kid take part in a storyline (which doesn't mean anything, but hey). Rey Mysterio is the second most overrated wrestler of the year, in my opinion.

 

Best promos is Eddie Guerrero, easily. They are why he was the WWE's MVP for the summer.

 

Best PPV is WrestleMania 21 for Orton/Undertaker and Michaels/ECW: ONS was a half-decent attempt but it didn't overly remind me of the company.

 

Worst PPV was Great American Bash. Absolutely horrendous in every way.

 

Most disgusting promotional tactic is letting the fans vote for Taboo Tuesday.

With nothing good on the horizon the next month, I don't think it's too late for year end favorites/best. You know the drill. Who or what is the best in WWE 2005. Please keep these to WWE only as I will be starting a General Wrestling 2005 Year End thread to cover everything.

Judgement Day over ECW ONS? Laughable.

 

Let it be added that ECW ONS has been the best seller so far this year. Not even the WM buyrates come close.

 

You're wrong. The 800,000 or so buys for ONS was just a fairy tale. It didn't even go over 400,000 while Mania had over 1,000,000 buys IIRC. Maybe even SummerSlam did a bigger buyrate than ONS but I may be mistaken on this one.

Wrestler of the Year

Shawn Michaels. He's put on good-great matches throughout the year, mostly carrying them. Did virtually all the work both in the ring and promo-wise during his program with Hogan. Probably the best pure babyface in WWE at the moment.

Honorable mentions: Angle, Eddie, Rey.

 

Feud of the Year

HHH/Batista, for the first half of the feud alone.

 

Match of the Year

Angle/Michaels @ WM21

Honorable mention: Edge/Hardy @ Unforgiven

 

Best Brawler

When he incorporates it into his matches, Angle.

 

Best High Flier

Shelton, only him and Rey have done any notable high flying this year really. Benjamin gets the nod for his beautiful somersault dive.

 

Best Tag Team

MNM

 

Most Underrated

Orton. He's a pretty good worker right now IMO, and still half the net is calling him utter shit.

 

Most Overrated

Lashley at the moment.

 

Best Promos

Christian. The fact that he's won over so many with so few promos and not a great deal of good matches speaks volumes about how good some those promos earlier this year were. His delivery and facial expressions have been priceless all year.

 

Best PPV

WM21.

 

Worst PPV

Outside of Hardy/Edge, Unforgiven was totally forgettable.

Wrestler of the Year: Kurt Angle. Consistently pulled out respectable-to-good matches throughout the year.

 

Feud of the Year: HHH-Batista. No real blowaway feuds this year.

 

Match of the Year: HBK-Shelton Benjamin, Goldrush match from Monday Night Raw.

 

Best High Flyer: Shelton Benjamin

 

Best Brawler: JBL

 

Best Tag Team: MNM

 

Most Underrated: Shelton Benjamin

 

Most Overrated: Carlito

 

Best Promos: Eddie Guerrero

 

Best PPV: ECW ONS

 

Worst PPV: Taboo Tuesday

 

Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic: The Hassan-Taker Masked Assailants angle. Very questionable angle and having the London Bombings shortly after it was taped didn't help matters much. It stirred so much shit up that it essentially cost a man his job. I might have to change my vote once the fallout from the Orton-Taker Eddie's Lowrider angle comes down.

Ah fuck it. WWE fan loyalist douche baggery is the only answere. Two extraordinarily craptaculare WWE PPV's (one of them easily ranking worst PPV of the year) over an ECW PPV? Laughable. Fuck the hole system.

It depends entirely on who is "under/overrating" them (the marks, smarks, WWE, ect).
