Bitch all year about WWE and be surprised it doesn't win arbitrary awards. Sounds right.

[Yaz]

WON readers, who vote on the awards, are pretty biased toward indie stuff and against WWE. Its clearer than ever before considering that AEW was only on TV about two and a half months in 2019.

That said, the awards are meaningless for the most part and while I'm sure the guy who do win enjoy the recognition, it isn't like WWE is going to change course because they won worst promotion.

Tbf WWE deserved most of the negative categories.

Shorty G was the worst gimmick. Rollins and Fiend's HIAC match was terrible. Super ShowDown is almost always a good option for worst show of the year. I can't think of a worse announcer than Graves. Corbin was the most overpushed.

But other stuff like WWE getting the worst promotion over ROH and Dynamite being show of the year despite only being around 3 months show a clear bias.

LOL @ Corey Graves being the worst announcer, he's the best heel colour since Jerry Lawler. I'm willing to wager that's solely for his Twitter behaviour, and Corny probably got a bunch of votes too. Vic Joseph deserved that more than anyone.

Kevin Kelly being the best surprised me. Would have gone Excalibur myself.

Kevin Kelly should be worst. He is the drizzling shits.

Or JR but that's blasphemy for the idiots to say a guy from the 90's is the worst in 2019.

Tbf WWE deserved most of the negative categories.

No argument there.

[klunderbunker]

WWE deserved a lot of them, but Raw as worst TV show and WWE as worst promotion are laughable.

Raw isn't even the worst WWE show and Ring of Honor went from the Garden to barely drawing 100 people at major shows, complete with a fan in the front row falling asleep during a World Title match at a pay per view. How that's better than WWE is beyond me.

And yeah, Dynamite and Tony Khan winning Best show and Booker of the Year with so little time together is, uh, stretching it. A lot.

Wrestler of the Year (best overall) - Chris Jericho
Most Overrated - Baron Corbin

How is Baron Corbin overrated when everyone rates him as shit. He actually isn't shit, which means he should be most UNDERRATED. Overbooked yes, but overrated fuck no.


And Jericho over Adam Cole is laughable to me. Jericho had 4 matches in the first 9 months of the year. Cole was on top all year and had as many (if not more) top-tier matches. Jericho was awesome in 2019 but Cole was around all year and just as good.
