It was never meant to but some people always seem to think it does :cozy
How is Bray the worst gimmick when you have Akira Tozawa and the ninjas walking around and retribution. Cole is not the worst commentator. Lot of this stuff is arguable and I enjoy most of the products.

bc the IWC turned on Bray very early. lol that's all this is is IWC consensus. Go on Reddit and see who's shit on the most...probably Bray. Now Retribution I'm kinda shocked didn't win it, surely they got second at least :lol But I think a lot of it has to do with Bray featured in the main event, like how a lot of times the worst match of the year isn't even close to that....it's just the worst high profile match bc that's all people think about.

Oh yeah and Cole def isn't worst commentator, Corey is still worse for one and that's an easy comparison since they're right beside each other :lol

Think it’s honestly just the opinion of the readers of the thing. Some of this I agree with and some I don’t. Like I wouldn’t give Mox the wrestler of the year, I say Drew honestly for it.

Mushmouth JR who fumbles his way through every show isn't better than Michael Cole

Bray is worst because he's in big programs for the title and shit.

Tozawa doing a stupid 2 minute 24/7 title angle really doesn't come close. Same with Retibution even tho they absolutely stink.

I agree, the man is old and shouldn't be doing this. He literally fumbled on an AEW show calling Omega the WWE champion. I like JR but enough is enough lol.

Bray's Fiend gimmick has dragged down more top babyfaces than Vince McMahon personally writing for them.

Would it be possible for someone to win best and worse gimmick in the same year?

Yes theoretically bc a lot of times stuff gets votes for both so it would just take one getting the most for each topic. Though I guess since it's the same people voting for each category it's highly unlikely unless it barely wins both of them.

I now need this to happen.

I’ll get Russia on the job for 2021.

I agree most with Kingston winning best on interviews, Fenix as Mexico MVP, and best non wrestler.

The rest of them I have no real issue with enough to get worked up over. It’s the opinions of Dave’s readers, I like what I like and they like what they like.

Bayley? LOL

Well, some of these were trash ass choices.

I actually like Bray’s corner gimmick better than the Fiend. The Fiend character is cool, they just really ruined that shit and the fucking funhouse, all of that is stupid, I understand how they’re trying to portray his character, but, I cringe whenever that stupid music hit.
