haws bah gawd Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Finishing Move of the Year: RKO Hell's Gate (Taker's submission, I guess) Knockout Punch (Big Show) SSP Hell's Gate? I thought JR had been calling it The Devil's Triangle for several weeks?
Silence Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Hell's Gate? I thought JR had been calling it The Devil's Triangle for several weeks? WWE can't make up their minds.
Thanks for the Fish Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Posted December 6, 2008 Most Extreme Moment of 2008 Nominees: Jeff Hardy's Swanton Bomb on Randy Orton from the RAW set, Undertaker falls off ladder through table as Edge wins TLC Match at ONS, JBL throws John Cena off stage into car windshield at The Great American Bash, Chris Jericho smashes Shawn Michaels' head through Jeri-Tron on RAW "DAMN!" Moment of 2008 Nominees: Khali Kiss Cam on SmackDown, Jim Ross in sailor suit on SmackDown, CM Punk disguised in Mariachi Band, lays out Chavo Guerrero on ECW, Santino Marella attempts Melina’s Entrance on RAW I think that's all of the categories now.
DrVenkman PhD Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 I'm looking forward to the show (as I tend to with 3 hours Raws - I don't want them every week, but specials can be fun) but people seemed to be really excited about this. I'm not going to set the bar so high that I'll be let down, but just with what's been announced already, it should be fine. Extra bonus for me - I don't have to go work after Raw this Monday, so hooray. I also suspect Jim Haas to win best impersonation because it was universally hated, so WWE needs to tell us it was great.
DrVenkman PhD Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 I wonder if for the IC title tournament, the semi's will be done in hour 1 and the finals in hour 3 (or something along those lines). A PPV quality Punk vs. Rey match would be great, and I guess it would make the tournament itself even more prestigious to have the finals on PPV, but that would all be moot if the IC title match took place on Raw or 6 weeks later at the Royal Rumble.
Thanks for the Fish Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Posted December 6, 2008 Okay I actually missed a whole bunch of category nominees - Best wwe.com exclusive * Cryme Tyme's "Word Up!" * The Miz & John Morrison present "The Dirt Sheet" * "Santino’s Casa" * "Outthink the Fink" The Dirtsheet wins easily. Though I could certainly do without the fart jokes, but they're playing to their ultimate audience of one (and Vince loves his fart jokes). Breakout star of the year * Kofi Kingston * Vladimir Kozlov * Evan Bourne * Ted DiBiase This is interesting. Dibiase doesn't have a chance, but outside of him, I could see any of the other three getting it. Koslov is main eventing/challenging for World Title, Kofi was hot as hell in ECW feuding with Benjamin, though the move to Raw derailed him to a large extent, he did win the IC and tag title. Evan Bourne was an instant hit, standing out even when he debuted as Matt Sydal. Best Musical performance * R-Truth's entrance (SmackDown, Sept. 15) * Santino rapping to Akon (Raw, Nov. 17) * Edge singing “Heaven” to Vickie (SmackDown, Feb. 15) * The Miz & John Morrison Rap ("The Dirt Sheet," Aug. 29) R-Truth will probably get it. Though I could see Santino piling up the Slammies because he could probably do most with them given his character. Of course not getting any would work for him as well. No Jillian? Maybe she'll crash the segment. Announce team of the year * Jerry Lawler & Michael Cole * Jim Ross & Tazz * Matt Striker & Todd Grisham WWE announcing sucks right now. Specifically the PBP announcers. JR is solid, if unspectacular, Cole is simply horrid and Grisham is just there. The ECW crew gets the nod for Striker alone. He'll be ruined once Vince starts paying any attention to the brand though. Best impersonation * Charlie Haas as "Haas" Hogan (Raw, Oct. 13) * Charlie Haas as "CHL" (Raw, Sept. 8) * Charlie Haas as "The Glamahaas" (Raw, Oct. 27) * Charlie Haas as Mr. Perfect (Raw, Sept. 22) Glamahaas. I actually hated the Mr. Perfect segment, Haas Hogan would probably be my second choice. I could see Haas Hogan winning because the wwe might want to take shots as Hogan as things between the wwe and Hogan seem to be heating up a bit.
foleyfanforever88 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Can somebody explain to me how Batista currently has the lead in the wwe.com poll of who should be superstar of the year? I know he's a fan favorite, but with Cena and even Triple H on that list, who the hell would vote for Dave? He's done absolutely nothing of note this year, besides win the WHT and hold it for 8 days. Hell, I don't even think he should be on the ballot..I think Orton's had a more impressive year, since we're going all the way back to January.
haws bah gawd Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Announce team of the year * Jerry Lawler & Michael Cole * Jim Ross & Tazz * Matt Striker & Todd Grisham Striker and Grisham by a mile. Grisham is just there for the sake of having a 2-man commentary team, but Striker is amazing. The guy really found his niche. Best impersonation * Charlie Haas as "Haas" Hogan (Raw, Oct. 13) * Charlie Haas as "CHL" (Raw, Sept. 8) * Charlie Haas as "The Glamahaas" (Raw, Oct. 27) * Charlie Haas as Mr. Perfect (Raw, Sept. 22) Haas as Mr. Perfect gets my vote. I got a laugh out of him playing around at Dave & Busters.
TheFranchise Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Definately The Perfect Haas. I loved that segment.

Epic Reine Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 I'm upset about Benjamin killing himself on the ladder at WM22 not being a nominee for most extreme moment.
foleyfanforever88 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Who the hell is Benjamin? He's a black fella who jumps all around the ring and talks about gold a lot.
TheFranchise Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 At least you didn't give me a 100% genuine answer there man. I was mocking the Ladder Legdrop thread.
DerangedHermit Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 Who the hell is Benjamin? He's a black fella who jumps all around the ring and talks about gold a lot. Is that another Dustin Rhodes gimmick?

RedJed Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 Jim Ross in a sailor suit on Smackdown? When was this? That sounds hilarious.

sluggo Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 ha I didn't even see the nominees when I made my guess. Almost all of mine made this list.
foleyfanforever88 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 R-Truth has won Best Musical Performance. Vladimir Koslov has won Breakout Star of the Year. Fuck that. Kofi should've won.
Silence Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 Vladimir Koslov has won Breakout Star of the Year. Fuck that. Kofi should've won. Just another example of Vince loving his hosses.
fazzle Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 Dirt Sheet wins the Slammy for best WWE.com exclusive
Thanks for the Fish Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Posted December 9, 2008 Kozlov makes sense in that he's been feuding for the heavyweight title. Kofi had legitimate claim seeing as he's been IC champ and is current Tag champion - but he was hotter when feuding with Benjamin in ECW. Raw's undercard is always neglected, almost criminally. Bourne was derailed by his injury, but still would have finished third. R-Truth will probably be introduced as "Slammy Award Winning Artist", I can't believe Jillian Hall wasn't included as a nominee. Maybe they wanted the categories to have some semblance of legitimacy.
foleyfanforever88 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Striker and Grisham have won the award for Anounce Team of the Year. Whoever is editing WWE.com did not win Speller of the Year.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 R-Truth has won Best Musical Performance. Pfft. Vladimir Koslov has won Breakout Star of the Year. Double pfft.
cd213 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Striker and Grisham have won the award for Anounce Team of the Year. Whoever is editing WWE.com did not win Speller of the Year. That's awesome. Good for Striker and Grisham.

If it makes you feel any better, Triple H is now currently leading with Big Dave in second place, followed by Cena. Jericho now has the lead at 30% followed not so closely by Batista's 21%. I hope that they actually take into consideration the fan vote when announcing the Superstar of the Year tonight. Jericho really does deserve to win.
Psycho Penguin Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 I really like RAW's song. TAKE THE PAST, BURN IT UP AND LET IT GO
