It's here!
It's not very good!
It's the only award show in the wrestling forum world that accentuates the negative!
It's the WrestlingSharts Awards: 5ive AliVe
The Nomination Phase Format
Each voter will DM me with up to three ranked nominations.
You do not have to make three nominations in each category, but if you do, your first choice will be ranked higher.
I will assign points to the ranked nominations you make. If you made 3 nominations, they will receive 3, 2, and 1 points respectively. If you made only 1 nomination, it will receive 1 point. Think something similar the tournament nominations.
Afterwards, up to 5 nominations from each award, depending on what scored the most (or more if there is a tie for 5th), will enter the Final Voting Phase.
But what will you be voting on, you ask?
The Award Categories
Most of these are the same, but here's a reminder.
Worst in the Ring: Male
Worst in the Ring: Female
From walking Botchamania compilations to boring channel-changers, there are many reasons you might not want to see someone in the ring, but they're all valid for this award. This category has two awards, for the worst male and worst female, as terrible wrestling knows no gender. So please send in both male and female nomination sets.
Worst on the Mic: Male
Worst on the Mic: Female
Captivating promo skills can save a wrestler from mediocrity, but lack of ability on the stick can doom even the best in-ring talent. Like Worst in the Ring, there is both a male and female award, so please send in both male and female nomination sets.
The Alliance as Bad as the WCW/ECW One Award
From tepid tag teams to shocking stables, to any other kind of underwhelming union, when two or more wrestlers get together, sometimes the result sucks.
The Randy Rosenbloom Award for Worst Commentator
What do you do when the voice calling the action is so unbearable that you can't enjoy the wrestling? Vote for them here, of course.
The Mike Shaw Memorial Award for Worst Gimmick
Dedicated to the man who brought legendary personas like Norman the Lunatic, Friar Ferguson, and Bastion Booger to life, this award is for a worker who's saddled with a cringeworthy character.
The Test/Wight Award for Worst Finisher
What wrestler had the most unbelievable finishing move this year? Could anything be worse than A Big Boot or A Punch? Probably not, but what comes close?
Most Overpushed
Sometimes the booker can see something in a worker that literally no one else does. Whose booking is far above their actual ability?
Worst Burial
On the other hand, sometimes bookers hold down talented workers for seemingly no reason. Who's gotten the shit end of the stick this year?
The "Minus Five Stars" Worst Match Award
A sad fact of life: for every Savage/Steamboat, there's a thousand Morasca/Sharmells. Which match in 2024 would you consign to the history books of horribleness? Added incentive: your nominations will likely be watched for my bad matches thread!
Worst Non-Wrestling Segment of the Year
It's not just matches that can suck, and this award proves it! The shoddiest segment of the year goes here.
The Worst Feud Award, sponsored by Glenn Jacobs for Knox County Mayor
The storyline that made you wish every wrestling show was just random matches from now on, so nothing like this could happen again...
Worst TV Show of the Year
Sometimes, watching wrestling TV is great, and sometimes it makes you pine for the days of WCW Thunder. Which weekly failed to live up to your expectations this year?
Worst Major Show of the Year
Not every show can be a Wrestlemania X-Seven, but any show can be a December to Dismember. This is the award for a 2024 PPV/major show that you wouldn't watch again, even if you were paid for it.
The
Award for Worst Company of the Year
The one company that has underperformed most across its entire product on this year. Feels good to have intrigue in this award, by the way, WWE dominating the "horrible company" stakes was getting boring.
The "Wrestling Promoters are Garbage" Moment of the Year
This award has been renamed so it feels less serious, but it's still basically the equivalent to WON's Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic. What scummy things did promoters do this year? False advertising? Booking abusers? Saudi Arabia? Vote for what makes you say "fuck this company".
Dumbest Podcaster of the Year
This year's one-off award, inspired by podcasters who are known for their absolutely atrocious takes! Who shat the bed hardest while sitting at home and commenting on wrestling by younger, more athletic people this year?
Get your nominations in, because they close at:
