MVPs of the WWE (From 1985 to 2020)

[Ruby'sRevolver]

I'll do years I fully watched

1995: Shawn Michaels
1996: Bret Hart
1997: Bret Hart
1998: Steve Austin
1999: The Rock
2000: The Rock
2001: Steve Austin
2002: Brock Lesnar
2003: Kurt Angle
2004: JBL (would pick Evolution if I could)
2005: Batista
2006: Edge
2007: John Cena
2008: Chris Jericho
2009: Randy Orton
2010: John Cena
2011: Christian
2012: CM Punk
2013: Daniel Bryan
2014: Dean Ambrose
2015: Seth Rollins
2016: AJ Styles
2017: Braun Strowman (or Roman Reigns)
2018: Becky Lynch
2019: Bray Wyatt
2020: Drew McIntyre

I'm curious why you chose Bret as the MVP for 1996? After losing the title to Shawn at WrestleMania he sat home for the next 7 months and didn't wrestle again until the Survivor Series in November. I don't know how someone could be off TV for most of the year and still be the MVP.

Lol@Shawn being MVP over Razor...and Bret Hart was a joke in 1991...Mr. Perfect was way more credible

Perfect only had one good match in '91... against the guy you said was a joke... rest of the time, he was mostly beating jobbers and was actually injured for a better part of the year. '91 was the beginning of his injury issues that held his career back from becoming greater.

2021 is definitely Bobby.

Those first two AJ years are so much more legendary considering how shyt the product is now.

Those years were just loaded with stars, not enough room really.

nah

he had the feud with bulldog. you kinda had to go to the house shows to get the full feel for dudes like mr perfect.
carried boss man t one of the best matches at mania.
was i-c champ for 8 months.

you could also give '91 to warrior, hogan or the legion of doom. it was pretty wide-open.

i dont see how bret is getting picked over any of them.
