Congratulations to Tony Khan for winning The Observer's Best Booker and Best Promoter of 2021

[Hey_zeus]

Baba san the GOAT. When we get to the Futurama level he needs to be one of the first heads they bring back. Just to save Puro alone.

Charlotte wasn’t on mania last year and no one noticed and Sasha won’t be on mania this year and no ones gonna notice. The nature of the award gonna lean towards someone making the most difference for their company

Breh... don't go full beard. Sasha's by far a bigger star than any Joshi and she's a bigger star than all the U.S. based women as well

U know they had a awful week

3 years of award winners and cant even get a million viewers every week…

Honestly agree with a good bit of these. Unsure as to the difference between Wrestler of the Year and Most Outstanding Wrestler, though.

Charlotte wasn’t on mania last year and no one noticed and Sasha won’t be on mania this year and no ones gonna notice. The nature of the award gonna lean towards someone making the most difference for their company

When I read Women's Wrestling MVP, I'm interpreting that as "This woman made the biggest impact/most difference on women's wrestling, period."

Now admittedly, I have no idea who Utami is, and perhaps a Puro breh can put me on... but dang, it'll be hard to convince me that she had a greater worldwide/mainstream impact for women's wrestling than Sasha Banks and all of her exploits.

Match of the Year: Lucha Brothers vs. Young Bucks

am I missing something?? in a year with Omega/Danielson, two Page/Danielson matches, the return of Punk, this is what they came up with?

Many on here said it was a perfect cage match... go read the replies and i normally hate the YBs

but Match of the Year? not sure about all that..

It was an excellent match. It wouldn't have been my choice, but I can understand why it won MOTY.

 

[KFBF]

What did he book?

young bucks fukking suck.

Darby is lame as fukk.

cm punk is a lot of things charismatic ain’t one of ‘em. Especially not in 2021.

 

[Hey_zeus]

This thread reminds me. Was there no link/drive to the best matches of 2021 posted here? I feel like i haven't seen enough to judge.

 

[Bonefan32]

I never really care that much about the awards but Corey Graves winning worst announcer is hilarious,you know it's killing him


He is terrible

 

[SpacelySprockets]

cm punk is not even more charismatic than montez ford in 2021/22

 

[StatUS]

Sasha was only around for 6 months. They’re always gonna give more votes in an overall category to the more available.

Saying that, Sasha pretty much achieved GOAT status last year so she should have won over a joshi anyway
