We are just over 12 months old now as a blog (and a fancy new website) so we wanted to celebrate the fact we have been avidly watching, reviewing and parodying the graps all year round by holding our own nerd ballot for the promotions that matter to us.
In light of the fact we pride ourselves on being a positive group for the purpose of enjoying wrestling, these are all best ofs, apologies if that is not your bag! Plenty of other places to find your worst wrestler awards - but not here - we respect all that enter the ring.
If any of these wrestlers, shows, matches or rivalries sound like they would be of interest to you, please do yourself a favour and check them out. Congratulations to all the winners and here's to more excellent wrasslin in 2020!
