It's that time of year again!
Time for the 2nd Annual Board 8 APWT Year-End Awards!
Here's how it works: All ballots are secret ballots, although you are allowed to reveal your vote to others if you'd like. Discussion is encouraged! For every category, a vote for 1st Place is required, but you can also vote for 2nd Place and 3rd Place.
A 1st Place vote counts as 5 points, a 2nd Place vote counts as 3 points, and a 3rd Place vote counts as 2 points.
Whoever gets the most points in each category is the winner.
The timeframe for these awards is January 1st 2011--December 31st 2011. Ballots are due by 3PM Eastern Time on January 2nd, 2012. You are allowed to change your vote at any time before the deadline.
Here are the categories:
Wrestler of the Year
2010 winner: The Miz
Vote for the person you feel was the best professional wrestler of 2011. It is up to you to define that.
Tag Team of the Year
2010 winner: Motor City Machine Guns
Vote for the team you feel was the best tag team of 2011. It is up to you to define that.
Company of the Year
2010 winner: WWE
Vote for the company that put on the best professional wrestling product in 2011 overall.
Show of the Year
2010 winner: WWE Monday Night Raw
Vote for your favorite weekly program of 2011 overall, internet-only programs included. **NOTE**--ROH on HDNet and the Sinclair version of ROH Wrestling are considered to be two distinct programs for the purposes of this award. If either appears on your ballot, please specify which.
Event of the Year
2010 winner: Wrestlemania XXVI
Vote for the single best event of 2011 from any company. It can be a PPV, a house show, an arena show, a specific episode of a TV show, pretty much any event at which professional wrestling occurred.
Match of the Year
2010 winner: The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels, Wrestlemania XXVI
This one is hopefully self-explanatory.
Most Improved Wrestler
2010 winner: n/a
A new category added by popular demand! Vote for the wrestler whose overall skills have improved the most from 1/1/11 through 12/31/11.
Angle of the Year
2010 winner: Nexus invades WWE
Vote for the storyline you thought was the most compelling and best executed in 2011. This award is for the booking and writing more so than the matches themselves, although they certainly contribute to an angle's quality.
Feud of the Year
2010 winner: El Generico vs. Kevin Steen
Vote for the feud that had the best series of matches over the course of 2011. This award is for the in-ring wrestling more so than the writing, although good booking can certainly make the matches better.
