PW Boards Awards 2017

Omackeral

Well folks it's coming around to that time of year again. We're on the road to an absolutely stacked TakeOver:Wargames/Survivor Series weekend which means that the year is coming to a close soon. This thread, however, is a place where we look back at 2017 and recognise all the fantastic users right here, on Pro Wrestling Boards!

State the award and the individual you wish to put forward for nomination. You can say why you're nominating if you wish. From that we'll make a nominee list and poll them off to see who takes home which awards. You can nominate up to a maximum of 3 people per award but if you see someone already listed, you don't need to mention them again as they'll already be on the list. Got all that? Excellent.




Here are the categories and last year's winners.

Ok so just a couple of things.

- If you see anyone nominated in a category already, you don't need to nominate them again. They're already in. For example, we don't really need any more nominations for Best Mod as all three moderators have been put up. If you wanna say why you you're nominating someone, you can or you can save it for the individual threads when they go up.

- For the Antonio Cesaro Award (Best Newcomer), we've used two years as the cut off in the past. So anyone who's posted before November 2015 isn't eligible. You can check post histories if needs be by clicking the username.

- The Tyson Kidd Award was introduced last year. It looks to honour posters who are a solid part of the community but go under the radar somewhat. Have a think about who you think might deserve some recognition.

- Nominating yourself for awards is lame! (looking at you Lithium93_!)

Omackeral

Some nominations of mine. May add more later on;

5 Star Match Award (Best Thread) -

Random Wrasslin' Thoughts - I consider it to be like a bit of a Pick n Mix, a little bit of everything in there.

---

Antonio Cesaro Award (Best Newcomer)

Ali Bomaye - An intelligent and well informed poster. Hoping to see more from them in the future

---

Shawn Michaels Award (Poster You'd Like to See Return)

Moneymaker - It's a year since he's posted here. Considered him a cornerstone of the forum before his departure.

---

Tyson Kidd Award (Most Underated Poster)

CastorTroy - One of the best rounded posters we have I think. Funny, smart and informative.

---

Santino Marella Award (Funniest Poster)

A Brad Maddox Guy - Need more gems from this lunatic
Loughc - Has some great comments that make me chuckle

---

Zack Ryder Award (Most Active Poster)

PTH2009 - Loves wondering out loud on all the threads!

---

Dave Meltzer Award (Most Informative)

leggo - I know he's worked in the ring himself so I appreciate any insight he has to give, even if it is in essay format most of the time!

---

William Regal Award (Most Helpful)

beakerjoe - A stand up guy and a never fights with anyone.
jaykhunter - Has helped me millions of times with thread amendments in any tournaments I've run. A cool boy. Bounty Hunter has too but he's already up.


---

Triple H Paul Award (Best Candidate to be a Mod)

beakerjoe - 100% should be next in line I think.

---

Vince McMahon Award (Best Moderator)

All already nominated

Ok, I've taken myself out of voting contention for anything I've nominated myself in, level playing field and all that.

Omackeral

Shall leave this up for a couple of days. Polls and individual award threads will follow when we have our full list of nominees.

Remember, 3 max nominations per category!

It's always a pleasure to run these awards and it's great to see loads of different nominees and winners. If you guys have any suggestions of how the awards could be improved in any way feel free to share here.

CastorTroy

Congrats to everyone including the suspicious multiple wins for Omac and Joe. :pac:

Omackeral

I nominated and voted for you in the Tyson Kidd Award actually Castor you sh*t!

JP Liz V1

Sorry forgot to vote, well done everyone and thanks Omackeral for running

gerrybbadd

What?!?

Nothing... I won nothing. All this board does is hold me down. All the guys know in the back that i'm the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. All of my fans know it. I don't know, I give my all in this thread, day after day, blood sweat and tears. For years - and what do I get? Nothing!!!

I'm a 2nd generation poster dammit. I deserve respect. And then I see a guy like Omackeral running around here, with his Boy toy gimmick, and the world goes crazy. If you were going to give the internet an enema, you'd stick the hose right here in Boards!!! I've been screwed by you, this whole promotion, and everyone else around here

I think maybe it's time I went to a rival promotion. Somewhere I'll be appreciated. Where all my fans can follow me. Someplace like Reddit or 4Chan.

Consider this heel turn complete.
