2006 In Review TNA Edition

Recommended Posts

Wrestler of the year: Samoa Joe- from his X-Division run to him making me actually care about Stiener to the rushed Angle matches, Joe always delivered.

 

Tag-team/Stable of the year: LAX- once Hernandez was finally ready to go, the tag team aspect of this stable absolutely exploded. Perfect timing with the work stoppage angle, and strong feuds with AJ/Daniels and AMW to end the year. Paparazi Productions in a close second due to Nash's segements.

 

Match of the year: AJ & Styles Vs. LAX Ultimate X for the Tag Titles, No Surrender

 

Best heel: Christian Cage once they finally pulled the trigger on his heel turn.

 

Best face: Eric Young.

 

Most improved wrestler: Chris Sabin, I thought he really came into his own through the World X Cup, feud with Nash and ultimatly the heel turn, but I didn't see too much of his work prior to 2006 to judge this properly.

 

Quote of the year: Nothing stands out particularly, although probably a Kevin Nash line about him being an X-Division pioneer or his chart which had him outdrawing Hogan, Hart, Austin and Rock in the WWF.

 

Markout moment of the year: The Angle/Joe confrontation segement featuring Angle headbutting Joe.

 

Funniest moment of the year: The AJ Pierzynski/Eckstien angle at Turning Point had me laughing out loud at how bad Eckstien was on the mic and how great it was to see AJ heeling it up by ripping up his inspirational children's book, but I'm a White Sox fan. Close second the fans throwing trash at Jarrett as he climbed the ladder at Slammiversery to win King of the Mountain.

 

Worst moment of the year: Jarret wins King of the Mountain in screwjob fashion.

 

Worst wrestler of the year: Nash, but his backstage segements more than made up for it.

 

Best PPV: Turning Point

 

Worst PPV: Victory Road

 

Biggest disappointment: Angle/Joe I

 

 

Feel free to add any additional topics that seem appropriate, I took the WWE categories and just removed the "brand" ones.

I can't bring myself to understand how anybody could vote for the Angle/Joe confrontation on iMPACT! when there was the video shown at the No Surrender PPV that NOBODY saw coming. I thought that was WAY more of a markout moment.
