SCF End Of The Year/Decade Award Nominations Thread

[klunderbunker]

That's right it's time to look back at the best and worst of 2019. For those of you unfamiliar with how we did this back in the day, I'm looking for nominees in the following 19 categories. You can nominate as many things as you want for each category and on January 10 I'll group them together and open a poll for each. Then you can vote on them all and we'll see who wins (or in some cases lose). These are rather informal so have some fun.

Here are the categories:

Wrestler Of The Year
Worst Match Of The Year
Finisher Of The Year
Rookie/Newcomer Of The Year
Promo Of The Year
Worst Wrestler Of The Year
Major Show Of The Year
Worst Major Show Of The Year
Most Improved Of The Year
Match Of The Year
Worst Angle Of The Year
Moment Of The Year
Non-Wrestler Of The Year
Spot Of The Year
Title Reign Of The Year
Surprise Of The Year
Group/Tag Team Of The Year
Angle Of The Year
Feud Of The Year
News Story Of The Year

Also, it's the end of the decade (2010 - 2019) and that means we need to do the same thing for the ten years. For the sake of simplicity, we'll use the same categories:

Wrestler Of The
Worst Match Of The Decade
Finisher Of The Decade
Rookie/Newcomer Of The Decade
Promo Of The Decade
Worst Wrestler Of The Decade
Major Show Of The Year
Worst Major Show Of The Decade
Most Improved Of The Decade
Match Of The Decade
Worst Angle Of The Decade
Moment Of The Decade
Non-Wrestler Of The Decade
Spot Of The Decade
Title Reign Of The Decade
Surprise Of The Decade
Group/Tag Team Of The Decade
Angle Of The Decade
Feud Of The Decade
News Story Of The Decade

You can make multiple posts if you forgot something. Also, if you have another category that might be good, let me know in here and I might add it to the list.

Go.
