SCF 2018 Year End Awards Nomination Thread

[klunderbunker]

That's right it's time to look back at the best and worst of 2018. 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 (one week from today) 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
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

You have a week to vote and 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.

As someone who probably watched less wrestling this year than he has in a very long time, I'll nominate AJ Styles for Wrestler of the Year and feel pretty safe about it. I'll also Dolph Ziggler for any category that includes the word "worst" and feel pretty safe about that as well.

Rookie of the year- Ronda Rousey
