The PW 2012 Awards Nominations Topic

Lord TSC

With the year drawing to a close, it's time to reflect on the highs and lows of 2012.

Much like the awards run for the best users, I figure we're better off throwing open a nominations topic for a few days before setting up some individual topics to make our final votes. Here's the awards to nominate for (thanks to Machismo for pointing these out from last year's nominations )

Wrestler of the Year

Tag Team of the Year

Female Wrestler of the Year

Show/PPV of the Year

Feud of the Year

Match of the Year

Moment/Promo of the Year

Most Potential for 2013

Biggest Letdown of 2012

I'll leave the nominations open till Wednesday at Mid-day, just in case anything happens on Raw or Smackdown. So vote away people and let's see who are the big winners and losers of the year.


Also, can we try and limit nominations to three people/matches/etc. Try not to nominate a dozen things for one award. Also, in the case of awards with over five nominees, we'll go with the five most nominated selections for the final polls.

Given this is nominations, not the final vote, order doesn't matter

Can be all of wrestling, though ultimately WWE-biasness always wins out in this.

I'd be the same; I only watch Raw and PPVs nowadays so my noms when I post them will reflect such. No way round that really...

Haha, wish I could. But my hair tends to grow out rather than down :P

Ok then, nominations closed. Will start counting up nominations now and will post the first voting topic soon

Lord TSC

Ok, I see a small problem in one category and thought I'd see what people thought about it.

The Shield, both collectively and as individuals, picked up nominations in the "Most Potential for 2013" award. So how should I count them? Does a vote for The Shield give each individual a nomination? Should an individual point for Dean Ambrose go towards The Shield as a group (A bit unfair, if you ask me).

Or should I count them seperatly and say "A vote for The Shield is a vote for the group, but a vote for Dean Ambrose is a separate nomination and gets listed as such"? That's what I'm leaning towards....

I'll also post the topics 2 at a time for 48 hours if that's ok...
