So this vote was split all over the place and that is indeed reflected in the results.
In Third Place we have a SIX WAY tie!!
Bobby Heenan in tears (MNG)/MJF Ruins Mark Wahlberg's career (beaker)/Ventura's opening (Hello 2D)/Tanahashi calls Cena 'bad guy' (BH)/William Regal in general (TSC)/Trump/Backland antics (BH)
Some interesting choices there. All garnered top spot from various voters so share third place.
In Second Place
Obama/Trump antics (BH)
Bounty Hunter doing comedy quite well here with three seperate entries here.
But not quite good enough. And it is actually fitting that the winner of this Slammy actually has the star after which it was named.
It can only be -
Our 2020 LOL Moment of the Year
Santina gives CM Punk mouth to mouth (JP Liz V1)
Congrats Liz, your write-up garnered 16 points from the votes for this moment.

So no Third Place here... you will see why now in a second.
In Joint 2nd Place it is an 8 way tie :eek:
Goldust (BH)/The OC (TBC)/Orange Cassidy (Lord)/Yokozuna (BH)/Honky Tonk Man (MNG)/The Brothers Funk (Hammer of the Clods)/William Regal (Lord)/Barry Windham(BH)
Lord and BH have multiple inclusions whilst thebostoncrab and Hammer of the Clods also get a mention.
And in first place....
The 2020 Indie Talent Spotter
Tessa Blanchard (Necro)
Errr... it's me :pac:
This was rather frustrating to watch the votes in, so many people getting top slot but only Tessa featured more than once, which gave me a sneaky Slammy. 0 -

In Joint Third Place:
Oh wow look at that, it's another tie
Bobby Fish (beaker)/Gorilla Monsoon & Bruno Sammartino (2D)/Hiroshi Tanahashi (BH)/Jorge Masvidal (ShagNastii)/Money Inc (Necro)
beakerjoe, Hello 2D, BH, ShagNastii and myself all share the bronze medal.
In Second Place:
Andre The Giant (Necro)
Andre literally skipped ahead of the rest with the final votes, thanks for those folks.
But of course while I'm taking home the Indie Talent Spotter, can I take the Pro one home?
No chance, that's what I've got
Our 2020 Professional Talent Spotter is....
Cody Rhodes & Goldust (BH)
Bounty Hunter collects his first Slammy of the year with a fabulous pick that garnered 11 points in total, pushing him head and shoulders above the rest. 0 -

It's only fair I name them all:
In Joint Seventh Place:
The Hunters (Brad)/The New Day (daithi)
In 6th Place:
The Four Horsemen (beaker)
Now while beaker only places 6th, he's rather unlucky. He featured more than some of the higher ranked factions but unfortunately was only picking up 1 point instead of the maximum on offer.
In 5th Place:
Gods of Power (PTH)
Good showing for PTH who gathered up a total of 8 points for his efforts.
No 4th place, that can only mean one thing - a TIE for Third Place:
Bullet Club (TBC)/Vince & Co (BH)
Both TBC's and BH's factions garnered 10 points apiece, meaning they couldn't be seperated.
In Second Place.....
Beer Money Inc (Necro)
Another runner up award for me, 14 points for DiBiase and IRS uniting with Roode and Storm.
In FIRST PLACE
And the 2020 Authority Award goes to - with a MONSTROUS 29 points
Heenan Family (MNG)
Mr.Nice Guy takes home his first Slammy now with a huge vote for his Heenan family. Fully deserved too imo. 0 -

tbh I had that pick in mind for myself earlier in the game and once that had changed and I drew you you in the pick for someone else round it just seemed to good a pick to pass up, especially with you "hinting" you wanted MonsoonCongrats BH. A truly deserving winner getting the best out of both picks , as well as their daddy
Actually meant to respond to a comment you made about Maybe McMahon being too much character for Tanahashi going forward but tbh after sending the fans home happy at the PPV I think Cena would go full heel and with McMahons help take the belt off him and long term it wouldn't be Hiroshi going up against then it'd instead be the Rhodes family with either Cody or Dusty going for the belt.
and Congrats MNG... a well deserved slammy win there in a category I gotta admit a few options slipped my mind (I voted for the Gods of Power no.1) but a Heenan family is always great for a story running throughout a ppv....
and sure you can't bayte someone with the initials BH 0 -

Adam Cole VS Ric Flair (beaker)
Beaker's depiction of the Cole/Flair rivalry certainly captured the hearts and minds and it's a very deserving Slammy. Congrats beaker! 0 -

Thank you everyone0 -
