RAIDER_69's 2003 WWE AWARDS

Interviewer of the Year: The Coach
Provided some great entertaining TV with some good interveiws, love his gimmick too, really good.

Commentator of the Year: Jerry Lawler
Ross was his normal serious self but Lawler really brings the excitement out of the moves, top commentator IMO

Mic worker of the year: John Cena
Normally reserved for the likes of Jericho or the Rock, but due to the Rocks hollywood scheduale he hasnt been around enough, as for Jericho, he had a quite year by his standard, so the only one left is the master of thugonomics John Cena. He brought comedy and enthusiasm to the smackdown show that sinces edge's injury it lacked.

Big Man of the Year: Batista
This guy has really impressed me, Undertaker was not without his charm, as was Kane and Lesner but we all knew what they are capible of, Batista can right out of left feild.

Cruiserweight Wrestler of the Year: Rey Mysterio
Has really brought the Crusierweight division alive, his unsual style combines both technical skill and entertainment value together.

Female Wrestler of the Year: Victoria
Unusal that this award hasnt gone to some blonde bombshell, but finally someone has upstaged them! Victoria bet home a host of females including Trish and Molly Holly. Victoria has a great gimmick and really is a sound wrestler.


GM of the Year: Eric Bishoff
Probably would have gone to Steph except for her annoying and gut wrenching voice, but Bishoff has been in some very nice storylines and has also work well in the ring, not being afraid to take a bump has really help Bishoff.

Feud of the Year: Kurt Angle V Brock Lesner
Great matches and really bring out the best in each other. With their amature backrounds you'll almost garnetee a perfectly sound technical match and they added some nice mic work to top it off. Angle V Lesner fued of the year, IT TRUE! ITS DAMN TRUE!

Storyline of the Year: Randy Orton - Legend Killer
I really like this storyline/gimmick they have going with Orton, i also think its great that some of the modern day greats are willing to get in the ring and job for him. This was a highlight for me, and i can see plenty of room for it to help his storylines in future, there is just so much that can be done with it.

Most idiotic Story line: Dawn Marrie, Torrie Wilson and Torries Father
This type of this insults the intelligence of the veiwers, i almost tuned of the whole smackdown brand thanks to this storyline, thw writer outta be shot for that effort.

Finisher of the Year: Sweet Chin Music
THE BAND HAS STARTED TUNING UP!! The move, the lead up and the way most sold it easily made this the finisher of the year for me, i love watching it, the versitility of the move also helped it. Mind you the F5 and FU wernt without there charms.

Bump Man of the Year: Shawn Micheals
This was tough, it could really only be Micheals or Shannon Moore, and ill tell ya, that Shannon Moore can take a bump, he sold the beat downs very well, however Micheals continues his dominance in this area, no one sells a move like HBK.

Hot Chick of the Year: Lita
I dunno why but there is just something about an athletic red head who likes to take risks, she pipped Trish, Torrie and Stacy for the honours, unfortunatly the blonde bombshells will always win the popularity contests

Match of the Year: Austin's Team V Bishoff's Team
THis match wins purely for its importance and the way it was set out, HBK would have lost alot of blood but he was putting it all on the line. The early stages where pretty boring but once it was only Micheals, Orton, Christian and Jericho left it got very good, and its no surprise, those 4 are among the top wrestling talents on RAW


Newcommer Of The Year: TIE
A threeway tie here, all 3 are worthy for the title. John Cena has made the smackdown brand watchable without Edge and Angle. Batista has worked some great matches including a very good match against HBK, although he needs a little work on his bumps, he is definatly a star of the future. And finally Randy Orton has been on fire all year, although many greats have jobbed him, he works well in the ring and his mic work is good but not great, they all have great potential.

Most Underused Wrestler of the Year: Jericho
This was very close, both Eddie Gurrero and RVD have some very strong claims, but neither of them can pull the same amount of attention as Chris Jericho, who's storylines have been ok but not good enough for this type of quality proformer. Im looking forward to a big year from Y2J in 2004.

Big Return of the Year:
5: Bill Goldberg
4: Stone Cold
3: Rey Mysterio
2: The Rock
1: Mick Folley

Surprise of the Year
5: Lesnar Turns on Angle in a Steel Cage Match
4: The Rocks breif return a few weeks back.
3: Mick Foley Returns As CO General Manager
2: John Cenas face turn
1: Kane burring the Undertaker

Tag Team of the Year: LOS GUERREROS
They had a great year, capturing the straps and having some great fueds with the likes of WGTT and The Bashams whlist also incorrperating their own little soon to become big fued into it.

Raiders MVP Of Raw: Shawn Micheals
Easily the best wrestler on RAW, especially since Jericho and RVD are being held down by writers and storylines that go nowhere.

Raiders MVP of Smackdown: John Cena
no need for an explination here.

WWE Superstar of the Year: Shawn Micheals
The Heart Break Kid, the Showstopper, Shawn Micheals is back and he is kicking ass! I pray to god that exHHHusted options are given a break and HBK wins the major strap at the Rumble, i would also like to see Kevin Nash return to help HBK in some way, simular to their old body guard type situation.

And finally Randy Orton has been on fire all year, although many greats have jobbed him, he works well in the ring and his mic work is good but not great, they all have great potential.

.

John Cena, Orton and Batista arn't new comers though. Newcomers (in other words rookies) are those that have debuted in the past year.

 

[Raider_69]

perhaps i should elaborate on what i mean by newcommers
in 2002, did anyone here know who the f**k Batista, Orton and Cena were, you might have know them but they know as John Hiendrink (sp?? im sure i f**ked it up)

this year they were 3 of the dominate forces in the WWE

 

[thuganomics]

Batista had a big Story line in late 2002 with Ric Flair, Randy Orton Had a story line with his torn arm and Cena started doing his raps with B-2 late 2003 which made him preety popular.

 

[Raider_69]

ok, my point - B2 was a no one, he used this like, orton and his arm and like batista with flair, he used them to launch themselves into the wrestling world, they were mid carders at best before last year

but for the sake of being politically correct ill say the Bashems, although their gimmick is horrid to watch, they are good wrestlers and will be a great atg team for years to come

 

[thuganomics]

well wat im trying to tell u is that there not Newcomers because they have been around for more then a year

 

[Raider_69]

the bashems have been around for a year
shit!!

ok so who qualifies?!
acaully f**k, that scrape that award
