With the Slammys last week and the end of the year approaching, I thought I'd give out a few awards myself. I will only be doing WWE and TNA since I haven't seen enough Indy stuff this year. I am doing WWE and TNA together, so any WWE or TNA wrestler is eligible.
Breakout Star of the Year - I thought I'd start this award cermony as you may call it, with this award because it was one of my favorite Slammy awards in the past. Too bad they didn't have one this year. The winner of the Breakout Star of the Year goes to... CM Punk! Now, I know, I know, you may say he broke out a long time ago. However, he changed wrestling this year. He went from being an upper mid carder to who Raw was centered around.
Holy Shit Moment of the Year - This one is tough for me to choose a winner. I don't really think Mark Henry and Big Show breaking the ring, deserve it. I don't want CM Punk to win every award but he is the one man who I think really deserves this award more than anyone. There were some epic moments but his shoot on Raw may have been one of the best promos I have ever witnessed. It came out of nowhere and was delivered perfectly.

I marked the fuck out as I could not believe WWE would let him go out there and say those things.
Tag Team of the Year - I know Tag Team Wrestling isn't emphasized on much anymore in wrestling but I thought I'd go ahead and give this award out anyway. This was difficult to decide but I have chosen Beer... Money! They had another great year, even though they split up a couple months ago.
Comeback of the Year - Who made the best comeback in 2011? You can give me all the heat you want for this but the award goes to Kevin Nash. He had the biggest pop of the night when he returned back at the Royal Rumble. He has returned and looks in much better shape than when he was in TNA last year.
Pay Per View of the Year - I didn't have a second thought about giving this award to Money in the Bank. It was an all around great pay per view. One of the best ppv's, I have seen in a few years. Even Mark Henry vs. Big Show wasn't that bad.
Diva/Knockout of the Year - This award goes to Mickie James because she has basically carried the Knockouts division for a year. Beth Pheonix was a close second but James wins it.
Biggest Fuck Up of the Year - I made this one up but I thought it would be an interesting award. Who fucked up the most in 2011? Drum roll please...? It goes to Jeff Hardy for his incident at Victory Road. If Indys counted in this award system, Scott Hall would win it but Hardy gets it. Showing up unable to compete because you were stoned off your ass is a MAJOR fuck up!
Match of the Year - Like I said, I hate giving a ton of awards to CM Punk but I feel he deserves this one as well. He had a lot of solid matches within the past year but his match with Cena at Money in the Bank was amazing. It had all of the hype and it was one of the most unpredictable matches in WWE history. It was in Punk's hometown and the crowd boo'd Cena out the building. Punk did the unthinkable and won the match to leave the arena with the WWE Championship.
Most Emotional Moment of the Year - I thought this would be another interesting award to throw in there. It goes to Edge retiring as the World Heavyweight Champion. It came out of nowhere and his retirement speach almost brought a tear to my eye.
Announcer of the Year - Shucky Ducky Quak Quak! It took a while to get used to Booker on commentary but now he is one of the most entertaining commentators in wrestling.
Wrestler of the Year - The most prestigous award on the list, who is the 2011 Wrestler of the year? *Pulls the winner out of the envelope* He isn't the Best in the World for nothing. His fourth and best award, CM Punk is the 2011 Wrestler of the year. He reinvented himself and even wrestling a bit. When Punk was on your tv screen, wrestling became fun again in 2011.
