TalWrestlingOnline Monthly Awards Comments & Suggestions

Edited June 8, 2003 by Cactus Jack

[Chris2K 176]

Best Wrestler

Chris Benoit - willing to put ANYONE over, and make them look good in the process.

 

Worst Wrestler

Goldberg - It's true, he only knows 3 moves.

 

Best Cruiserweight

Matt Hardy - confident and skilled in the ring

 

Worst Cruiserweight

Sorry, can't really think of an answer for this one.

 

Best Tag Team

Very few left, but I suppose 'Vitamin C' are (Christian & Jericho).

 

Worst Tag Team

3 Minute Warning. They don't even have Rico to save them.

 

Best Match

The Los Guererros vs. Team Angle match on the SmackDown after Judgment Day.

 

Worst Match

HHH vs. Nash at Judgment Day, even though the aftermath was good.

 

Best Spot

Prolly Lesnar diving off the forklift onto Show.

 

Worst Spot

Don't know if it was May, but when Rosey tried to roll-up Maven on Raw, and messed it up completely.

 

Best Promo

Flair and HBK on the last Raw of May.

 

Worst Promo

When HHH interrupted the aforementioned Flair/HBK promo to cut his own.

 

Best Diva

Victoria (for her outfit on a Raw)

 

Worst Diva

Dawn Marie

 

Best Brand

SmackDown!

 

Wrestler Most Deserving Of A Push

Brian Kendrick

 

Mark-Out Moment Of The Month

Very hard to choose, I couldn't decide between Angle coming back, and something else, but then I remembered that was June. So I choose, as a brief moment of remembering the departed, Freddie Blassie saying 'D-Von, Get The Tables!' on Raw.

[Guest Simon]

Best Wrestler

Big Show - might sound ridiculous but the whole clumsy-ness with smashing Rey off the ring post and basically his match with Lesnar really do make me say that this guy entertained me most in May. Maybe thats saying something :) Honourable mentions to Christian.

 

Worst Wrestler

Goldberg - I hate him SO much. I would say HHH usually but he's just been beaten to it by Goldberg.

 

Best Cruiserweight

Rey Mysterio - Hats off for taking that nasty stretcher spot (even if it wasn't voluntary) and because he's being basically very over at the moment

 

Worst Cruiserweight

Billy Kidman - just because even when I don't see him, he annoys me.

 

Best Tag Team

La Resistance

 

Worst Tag Team

Tajiri and Eddie Guerrero. Too random a couple to be taken seriously... annoys me the fact that they have the tag belts

 

Best Match

Big Show v Brock Lesnar - Stretcher match at Judgment Day. Sorry but I loved that match!

 

Worst Match

HHH v Nash - Take HHH, add a clique member and a DQ finish, leave it to settle for 15 minutes and you will get the baked poo that this was.

 

Best Spot

If Rey taking the stretcher bump at the hands of Big Show was in May then that one, otherwise the forklift moment in the stretcher match stands out in my mind.

 

Worst Spot

Zach Gowens run-in when he got his leg pulled off by Piper, if that counts as a spot?

 

Best Promo

Chris Jericho and Roddy Piper arguing at Judgment Day... absolutely classic. Honourable mentions to Theodore Longs promos about Jazz all the way up to Judgment Day.

 

Worst Promo

Whenever HHH opened his mouth, particularly the one Chris mentioned, after the HBK/Flair thing. Bah

 

Best Diva

Torie Wilson

 

Worst Diva

Dawn Marie

 

Best Brand

Smackdown!

 

Wrestler Most Deserving Of A Push

Christian

 

Mark-Out Moment Of The Month

Um... when Jericho got pushed out of the battle royal by Christian I actually did think "damn you"... thats the best I can do :)

I think you're right there ya know... but hell I think it should still count as a May spot simply because it was used so often in the build-up to Big Show v Lesnar. Unless Mr. Cactus Jack is being quite strict with the awards :P

Strict? I'm TWO's new Dictator :devil

 

Including is fine as a one-off. The point of doing the May vote was to get used to it and iron out any apparant problems :xyx

[Dead Crow 370]

Dictator LOL... can't be what already exists.. and believe me, dictatorship only exists in this bad boy goth thug right here *check my sig* :xyx

 

Anyway, all joking aside..

 

 

Best Wrestler

Eddie Guerrero (no one has entertained me all round like he has this month)

 

Worst Wrestler

Kevin Nash (sorry Husim, but Nash has bored me rigid this month, and even Goldberg has looked more impressive to me this month, so I vote Big Daddy Cool)

 

Best Cruiserweight

Shannon Moore (dunno why, I'm just drawn by this kid)

 

Worst Cruiserweight

Billy Kidman (added nothing to the product)

 

Best Tag Team

Rob Van Dam/Kane (dunno why, I just like this team)

 

Worst Tag Team

La Resistance (not keen on these guys, especially Grenier. Can't stand him)

 

Best Match

Brock Lesnar v Big Show from Judgment Day (just something different that impressed me loads)

 

Worst Match

HHH vs. Nash from Judgment Day (just didn't cut it for me)

 

Best Spot

Goldbergs spear through the ringside barrier (extremely impressive.. the way Goldberg SHOULD be pushed)

 

Worst Spot

The fake leg thing with Zach Gowen and Piper (pretty tasteless in my opinion)

 

Best Promo

Flair and HBK (just vintage classic)

 

Worst Promo

The HHH one straight after (just vintage crap-ic)

Victoria (no one looks hotter in leather in my opinion, and she has truly outshone all the other female wrestlers, both in looks and in the ring)

 

Worst Diva

Torrie Wilson (was outshone by Sable for freaks sake)

 

Best Brand

SmackDown!

[Guest Kandiman]

Best Wrestler: Christian-So much potential and it looks like he might finally be encouraged to fulfill it.

 

Worst Wrestler: A tough choice between No-Soldberg and Big Poppa Pumping Steroids, but I'm going to give it to Steiner... He even managed to suck on Heat!

Worst Cruiserweight: Billy Kidman... must try harder, and improve his mic skills.

 

Best Tag Team: La Resistance- I like these guys sooo much! Vive La Resistance.

Mark-Out Moment Of The Month: Ric Flair putting in a 5 star match.
