    Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards 2023

    They needed more screen time lol Honestly tho, there weren't a lot of really shit gimmicks last year, none really stuck out to me as being really bad. Surprised it wasn't a bunch of NXT 2.0 ones nominated for me to be angry about

    I claim to be a fan but haven't actually watched a show in almost a year lol

    Pretty much how I feel, even some I think should have had other winners, I'm not really down on what did win. A few are def sus tho lol

    Probably gotta go back awhile to see the last time WWE finished above NJPW lmao

    I do wonder how these awards would have looked if Vince woulda got forced out earlier too bc it was like dead middle of the year lol it made me thinking of my own nominations really hard

    Yeah I guess improved is a weird word for what I mean too, bc I more mean improved as in perception not necessarily quality of shows

    The Moxley vs Roman debate is one I want no part of tbh lol it's just going to boil down to which company or guy you like best really bc I think both pretty much had perfect years for what their companies needed

    One award I wish they had was a most improved promotion like TEW does. Stardom woulda won that easily and it would be a good way to get some recognition for smaller promotions that may not have other awards

    Pretty sure this is what won them the PWI award and....fair enough

    Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards 2023

    Yeah idk what PWI was smoking that year lol they hadn't really acknowledged other promotions outside of America like they do now but that wasn't even the best WWE match of the year for me, still a great match tho don't really wanna hate on it

    Oh not technically the same but in 2014, Bray Wyatt vs John Cena cage match at extreme rules (the one with the singing kid) won worst match for WON and Bray vs Cena Last Man Standing at Payback won best match for PWI, I remember when I got to 2014 in my review thread and saw that lol

    Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards 2023

    Hmm maybe with some multiman fuckery for worst match but I'm not sure. I know Bray Wyatt won best gimmick for The Fiend in 2019 and worst gimmick for it in 2020 tho, that was hilaruous

    There actually seems to be a lot less recency bias this year than I usually think too tbh, shocked Okada/Ospreay won MOTY over the dog collar for instance

    Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards 2023

    Yeah its a weird one. In the moment, it was pretty funny and I was enjoying it but the further along it got and the big reveal of what was happening was so flat, I didn't really think of it for worst feuds when I did nominations on here but at the same time not really disagreeing. But it...

    Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards 2023

    I think the actual Observer lists all nominations that received any votes, maybe cap it at a top 10. Its always funny to see who gets around equal votes for best and worst awards lol

    Should be yeah, Cena getting 2nd this year despite only the few appearances actually makes some sense too bc the ticket movement he drew was very tangible lol
