It really felt like it at times, I wanna blame Delirious too with no proof tho

He has these vignettes he filmed talking to the octopus version of himself that were actually pretty well shot but the plot was lol

For the books, I didn't read Becky's but heard it was great so not surprised it won. The second place one I heard great things about too, I listened to an interview with the author and his process for researching fascinated me, I always meant to check it out.

Ballyhoo is really good especially paired with the 5th place winner which is the pioneer wrestling omnibus which itself is more of a chronicling of dates and events than a narrative itself to read.

Don't really know about the rest

As someone who watched NWA Powerrr... It was fine. Not horrible most of the time.

I think Fraxiom should have won tag team of the year. That’s not a slight on the Bucks but I was not a fan of their EVP/slow style gimmick and I think Fraxiom had better matches outside of Sting’s last match which I think was the Bucks best match last year.
