How is Jeff Hardy a breakout star? I view it as more of as more of a rookie of the year / most improved. Batista in 2005 would have been viewed as a breakout star, Edge in 98/99 would have been viewed as Roty.

 

Just a difference of what a breakout star is. I took it to be a mid card guy who became a legitimate main eventer. The Hardy Boyz were a top tag team, but Jeff was likely going to headline WrestleMania if he didn't screw thigs up. If it's more somebody who came out of nowhere to become a star, I guess Matt Bourne is as good a candidate as any. R-Truth, The Brian Kendrick would be other contenders, maybe with Jack Swagger (who probably needs to get off ECW).

Most improved, maybe. Rookie of the year? Hardly. Jeff & Matt are far past the rookie stage, dude.

I'm sorry, my point was that breakthrough star could mean one of two things. Most improved or Roty. I gave Batista as an example for most improved for 2005 when he became champ and beat HHH 3 times. I gave Edge for the 98/99 for Roty. I dont see Jeff Hardy as being this big breakthrough. I think CM Punk is the one who deserves it. The reason why I dont see Hardy as it is because he has been pushed before numerous times and has always been an upper mid carder.

Superstar of the year - Chris Jericho

Match of the Year - Edge vs Undertaker, Hell in Cell (Summerslam)

I'll probably be wrong, but I just can't see John Cena being superstar of the year after being out for months and months.

 

I was also really torn between Haas Hogan and the Great Char-lee.

Damn right. I have this Raw on my Sky+ under 'keep' and I don't think i'll ever delete it. I still mark out for it watching it today as I did watching it then.

 

It was awesome.

A couple more nominee lists were released -

 

 

WWE Diva of the Year

Nominees: Mickie James, Beth Phoenix, Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly

 

Match of the Year

Nominees: 2008 Royal Rumble Match, Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 24, Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania 24, Undertaker vs. Edge Hell in a Cell Match at SummerSlam

 

I think HBK vs Flair should be a shoo-in from the list of nominees, however with Flair out of the company it could be up-for-grabs.

 

Beth should win as well, but I could see Mickie as the Wwe seems to want to push her. I'd love to see McCool win so everybody could claim Undertaker forced it.

A couple more nomination lists -

 

OMG Moment of the Year

Nominees: CM Punk cashes in Money in the Bank to win the World Heavyweight Title on RAW, Undertaker sends Edge to Hell at SummerSlam, Floyd Mayweather breaks Big Show's nose at No Way Out, John Cena's surprise return at the Royal Rumble

 

Couple of the Year

Nominees: Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix, Edge and Vickie Guerrero, William Regal and Layla, Finlay and Hornswoggle

 

Both are pretty interesting and could go a number of ways. The only OMG Moment nominee that I don't think has a chance is Edge/Undertaker.

 

I think the couple of the year will be either Santino/Beth or Edge/Vicki and I think both could "run with it" in future storylines.

OMG Moment of the Year - CM Punk cashes in Money in the Bank to win the World Heavyweight Title on RAW - As I said previously, and Franchise and I'm sure many others agreed with, I fucking dare WWE to make me mark out like that again. It takes a LOT to get me so into a wrestling event on TV that I stand up and cheer for someone. Damn, I loved this moment. It's going to take a lot for WWE to top this. Probably the last time I actually stood up and cheered a victory was Benoit making Triple H tap out at Wrestlemania XX.

 

Couple of the Year - Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix - No on screen couple has been this consistently entertaining in a long time.
