    Meant to make this point before but only just remembered it now as I'm thinking through my votes before tomorrow night's deadline - should we not make it the case that only those who have submitted votes are eligible to win outright? Reason being if a player doesn't submit votes for other rosters but is still able to receive them from other rosters, then it's actually advantageous to not have to submit any votes, right?

    It would be a bit like in the Eurovision if Ireland were able to receive votes from other countries but we didn't have to vote for them in return. We'd have a leg up on the competition.

    Maybe offer 50 points free off the bat to every roster that submits votes as a way to counter any such imbalance? It might also encourage more votes.

    I'm fine with that, haven't actually received any votes thus far so was wondering what to do if it stayed the same and only a few voted.

    Hopefully we get a decent few votes in. I'm happy with my best roster choices and I've most of my Slammy votes sorted. Just need to decide the order of the best write-ups and I'll be ready to PM it on.

    Couldn't get anywhere near through all the shows, haven't even finished the raw after mania tbh even though im getting back to having free time now. Therefore I didn't think it fair for me to vote and give preference to what I fully finished. Therefore I;m just going to submit a best roster vote for now.

    Ok so the deadline has passed and I have received votes from 5 players (including myself). Out of respect for those who submitted the votes, I'm not going to drag this out any longer than is needed and will be announcing the results shortly.

    I'm just going to do it in this thread I think rather than create another.

    First up.... is Best Draft Newcomer.

    A hotly contested one consistent of our one newbie....

    Best Celeb Pick.

    This contest was indeed a very close one.

    Joint 1st Place - Floyd Mayweather (Mr. Guappa) & Muhammad Ali (BH) - 8 points

    3rd Place - Rob Gronkowski (paulie21) - 7 points

    A tie for our first slammy with votes!

    Ali and Floyd Mayweather proving popular with the voters, and Gronk not far off in 3rd place too.
    Other votes were cast for Mr. T (Liz), and Donald Trump (A Brad Maddox Guy)

    Well done to Mr. Guappa and Bounty Hunter!

    Next Up... We have...

    Under-rated Pick of the Year

    And a 5 WAY TIE!!

    Joint 1st Place: Lou Thesz (Necro) & DIY (DM_7) & Gail Kim (MNG) & Marty Jannetty (Liz) & Baron Corbin (Necro) - 5 points

    Nothing seperating the above guys, with all the above considered under rated by the voters.

    Congrats to all on the most shared award in draft history (Not fact checked)!

    I suggest a hardcore match to decide the actual winner.

    Coming up next we have:

    Best Roster Pick

    And for the first time, there's a clear winner!!

    1st Place - Brian Pillman & Arn Anderson (BH) - 13 points

    2nd Place - Andre The Giant & Haku (BH) - 5 points
    Joint 3rd Place - Jim Cornette (Mr. G) & Magnus & Nigel McGuinness (Liz) - 3 points

    But we still can't avoid a tie for 3rd. Bounty showing his drafting skills by picking up first and second place, and a third (kinda) slammy of 2019 for him.

    Pillman and Anderson runaway winners of this award. A clearly excellent pick.

    VdRi9k.gif

    OMG Moment of the Year


    1st Place - CM Punk reveal/Scurll turn (Necro) - 10 points

    And a slammy for me :eek: Thank you folks, another hotly contested category.

    Though my choice ended in second place which was definitely a real OMG moment :D


    2nd Place - Bounty Hunter drafts Jimmy Savile - 8 points
    3rd Place - Sister Abigail Kim (MNG) - 5 points

    Sister Abigail Kim deservedly rounds out the top 3. Congrats to all :)

    Best Match


    1st Place - Bray Wyatt VS Mankind (MNG) - 6 points

    MNG picks up another slammy with his Wyatt/Mankind feud. A thoroughly enjoyable one I would have to agree.

    Joint 2nd Place - Sheamus VS Finn Balor (Necro) & Ken Shamrock VS Rampage Jackson (Necro) - 5 points

    And I round out the top three with two of my own matches. Thanks for the votes, folks :)

    Best Feud

    And another TIE!

    Joint 1st Place - Mayweather VS Savage (Mr. G) & Scurll VS Punk (Necro) - 8 points

    Myself and Mr. Guappa share the honours for best feud, and again thanks for the votes for myself. I definitely enjoyed Mayweather and Savage a lot myself, and others agreed with me :D

    3rd Place - Wyatt VS Mankind (MNG)- 7 points

    And MNG rounds out the top 3 - Wyatt and Mankind getting some more deserved plaudits.

    Heel of the Year

    Only one point seperates the top two in this category:

    1st Place - Bray Wyatt (MNG) - 11 points

    But it's MNG's Bray Wyatt who beats out Mr. Guappa's Floyd Mayweather on this occasion. Tough to decide between the two for me personally as well.

    2nd Place - Floyd Mayweather (Mr. G) - 10 points
    3rd Place - CM Punk (Necro) - 5 points

    My lad CM Punk creeps in to the top 3, but way off the top two slots.

    Well done folks.

    giphy.gif

    Face of the The Year

    Again, it's close - but...

    1st Place - Mankind (MNG) - 8pts

    Another slammy for MNG with Mankind as the counterfoil to Bray winning out again.

    Joint 2nd Place - Randy Savage (Mr. G) & Daniel Bryan (ABMG) - 5 points

    A tie then for second place - Randy Savage for Mr. G and the Yes Man D. Bryan for Brad both garnering some popularity.

    WM35_04072019gd_15009.JPG?f=16x9&w=1200&$p$f$w=6f0db62

    Female SS of Year


    1st Place - Tessa Blanchard (BH) - 16 points

    Bounty Hunter takes another slammy with his fab portrayal of Tessa Blanchard!

    2nd Place - Gail Kim (MNG) - 13 points
    3rd Place - Ronda Rousey (Mr. G) - 5 points

    Gail Kim and Ronda Rousey for MNG and Mr. Guappa respectively also round out the votes.

    Marty Scurll draws me one last slammy - thanks again folks!

    Joint 2nd Place - Bray Wyatt (MNG) & Floyd Mayweather (Mr. G) - 8 points

    Wyatt and Mayweather share the plaudits of second place here for MNG and Mr. G - I think there's a rivalry brewing here.

    So, to the rosters!

    Top 5 or their equivalent here. I decided that in regards to the extra 50 points, I would credit that to the players overall score so as not to impact too much on the voting here. Take from that what you will, not sure if it was fair or if I should have added it here - but regardless - the results:

    In Joint 5th Place....

    SlickRic & Bounty Hunter on 25pts

    A nice swaddle of votes for Ric and BH. Fair play folks.
