Another Year End in the books... Looking back at past year-end, this one got more ballots (27) than the past couple of years, but still less ballots than what I would get for the Mid-Years. Maybe cause the Mid-Years are a shorter ballot? Cause it's summertime? Cause it's easier to think of the past six months rather than a full year?

Anyway, most people filled out at least a portion of every category, which is very good. Women, Matches, and Storylines contiune, though, to lag behind the other Year-End categories in terms of total filled in ballots. The new Feud category, however, was very successful. I did wish I had changed my rule on the category, though, to allow for three-way feuds - there are a couple I merged as I saw the ballots come in, but maybe some entries would have been voted more if people could vote for three or more participants. I just wanted to make sure it was a clear on the participants of a direct feud since some feuds can bleed into one another. The Gotcha Moment category was all over the place... I may not continue that one next year, though it is kind of neat.

The voting did sort of coalesce to three or so feds, so the number of different entries were down, but the voting separation was greater this year.

Here's the numbers:
- 30 different Heels
- 34 different Faces
- 40 different Interviewees
- 33 different Rookies
- 39 different Most Improved
- 36 different Maneuvers
- 24 different Women
- 24 different Managers
- 27 different Tag Teams
- 22 different Announcers
- 23 different Events
- 16 different Regular Shows
- 42 different Gotcha Moments
- 33 different Matches
- 39 different Feuds
- 28 different Storylines
- 14 different Federations
- 132 different Acts

1. Gibson Hayes (2011 Mid-Year Winner)

Whoa, I forgot to put Tyrone Hayes on my ballot!

Just imagine how good The Rave will be 20 years from now!

If Vasquez can still end up top 5 after taking half the year off, then I'm gonna have him take more vacations!

6 characters in the top 50! Woot!

*Waits for Jeremy to announce he's got 30*

Congrats to all!

2010's award had Gibson in the top 6 or something with a grand total of 4 or 5 PVW releases so, basically, you have to take a full year off.

2 managers in the top 5 was pretty sweet (3 in10 if you count that Jer is using my character Bathwaite).

Obviously I need to bring back more of my manager characters to sweep next year!

4 or 5 releases? That's UWF in a good year!

I'm just glad the Miyuki/Amber Rogers match got recognition. Also, this awards session confirms that cancer-based storylines are in fact, the e-w equivalent of an actor playing the role of a mentally disabled person to win an Oscar.

Which makes me wonder, is Dos, Charlize Theron in Monster or Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump? :dontknow:

3 characters in the top 60! Kinda sorta!

Will these results be what finally drives us into the AWA Attitude Era?

Wow. I really need to step my game up.

Congrats to everyone involved!

Congrats everyone! I can't complain Dick Bass at #51 was quite the surprise. Thank-you everyone!

Special props goes to my boy Jim on AsH being nominated Most Improved. You worked hard all year and the votes showed people took notice.

Again, congrats to EVERYONE!

:applause:

And a little JTF Flex for all of you!

:flex:

Under Feud of the Year -
8. Frank Knight v. Marcus Manson v. The Spectre (PVW)

That is suppose to be SAMMY Knight.


But, wow .. PVW must of had quite a few handlers vote. AWA had an amazing year.

I've had a blast in AWA .. Cup and Clash were two of the best events I have read in years.

Thanks for the Hoyle votes it! :P

Robot King #48!!! Long Live the King!

Terry and Jer had a really good year overall lots of guys in voted and recognized. As usual thanks to Bren for putting this together. It does give us a nice little chest pumping out moment at the end if we placed some where. HAH.

Glad people are still enjoying PVW after 4 years. A lot of people have made me look at least average. Rob continues to bail me out ...

All-in-all it's just awesome to see that this circle is still around. I'm not sure I could stomach e-wrestling anywhere else. I am glad to see more leagues popping up .. IPW, IGA, FS, MBC returning ... I am sure I am leaving a few out.

Awesome job all!

What Bell said was a lie....not an awesome job.

Who voted for the Meatgrinder?

:censored: :chairbash: :censored:

Dos is Gump. Black is Wuornos. :P

Very true .. I overlooked those insane votes on purpose! :chairbash:

A hearty congrats to all my Fighting Spirit handlers and associates who got recognized - Nico Villanova at #87, Hans von Tripp at #73, Ryan Martinez at #69, the promotion as a whole at #9 on the Fed of the Year list, and the Ozaki/Rogers showcase match cracking the top ten matches of the year. Imagine how much we'll win in 2012 when we have a full slate of shows to choose from!'

Your reward is (fingers crossed) a show that'll come out later today!

Congratulations, everyone!

Thank you to those who voted for anything SCWE related.

And thanks to the handlers of that league for the work they did to make it so much fun.

Jer hasn't written a match yet this year ... So far 2012 Match of the Year is up for grabs! :banana:

Wow! I'm blown away that SCD did so well in these awards! Thanks to Bren for doing these awards, he does such a great job on them! Congratulations to all who won and placed!

If you didn't want it to place you should've stopped hyping it a long time ago.

Remember; there's no such thing as bad publicity. So, y'know, since people wouldn't stop complaining...

(Also, obviously, since it was my plot to make it the match of the year to F with people, I voted for it. Heh.)

Craven sucks too.

I admit, I am disappointed by the lack of Gibsona H. Ayes in the women's category.

:whistle:

The voters are just jealous of her talent!

And thus fell democracy.

Dude...there's no way you thought that was the best match of the year, Moze.

Haters gonna' hate.

Gibsona H. Ayes vs. Miyuki Ozaki for the next Fighting Spirit card!

Execute Plan: SCORCHED EARTH

Dammit Blue, it'll never work! We don't have the technology!

Dude...the award is "Match of the Year", not "Best Match of the Year"

When Time magazine named Hitler "Man of the Year", they weren't saying that he was the greatest person in the world...

...that was fucking hilarious.

I'm still upset with them for snubbing Pol Pot.

This is the type of year end domination that would rankle EMWCPrez, I'll tell you that much...

Yeah, that guy would be pretty pissed off and trying to figure out which guy from PVW would be willing to throw a title in a trash can.

On a positive note, you do have the Tag Team Interviewees of The Year locked up.

It just goes to show you that having your top face disappear for half the year is detrimental to business. At least we know that now!

ib4 Petrow uses that to promote himself and/or Langseth :bye:

Thank you for those who voted for HvD-Hayes for Match of the Year.

This means I'll have to write a match some time this year to keep my streak going. (I, uh, didn't actually win in 2010, but dammit I should have so I count it!) :angel_not:

It should only take one match ...

He's already written one that's come out in the calendar year, if that counts...

Aside from bring disappointed in the low quality of my work in 2011, challenging the Jer/Blue/Fletch (now that IPW is back) triple headed monster for MOTY is my goal for this, my 12th year in e-wrestling.

*ProfessorDoran starts working on Shaw-Langseth 3

hey now I wrote most of the Meatgrinder ...

oh wait. :facepalm:
