Dave won in the end, the entire wrestling business cares about his opinion. Even your faggy wrestlers in WWE care about his star ratings and work their matches around trying to impress Meltzer

few more that i don't have numbers for
promoter of the year - salvador lutteroth (CMLL)
best box office draw - john cena (WWE)
danny hodge memorial award (non-heavyweight MVP) - mistico (CMLL)
best wrestling maneuver - hangman adam page's buckshot lariat (AEW)

LOL the AEWtists are actually still seething hard at the NWA over Shockwave. We NWAGODS already forgot about that minor little gang war (which we won) and have moved on. but of course, a loser like Tony can't let it go.
>>
>>19884903
nice satire post lol. these awards just tell us who meltzer's gay fanbase is glazing this week, and who they're seething about this week. nothing more.

It's crazy how him and his cult don't even try to hide their spite for WWE anymore.

Uncle Dave and his based readers do no miss. Could not argue with a single vote.
>>
>>19884959
true, and he also shits on everything else...except AEW and CMLL. he backs up the liberal agenda at every turn. looking at the list of nominees and winners is very revealing. after looking at this i think meltzer needs to face the gas chamber.
>>
>>19884910
No way they voted for the inferior version of Logan's move
>>
Danielson is an awful commentator. Boring as hell
>>
Lucha Libre rules the sport
>>
I can't help but notice that the voting patterns in every category match up perfectly with meltzer's opinions. wow, what a legitimate and organic set of awards.

Who could possibly believe this shit? We know the people who follow Meltzer. They are the same people who vote on Cagematch and they never get more than 150 voters for any given thing there. And before you seethe, Brian Solomon just admitted that they used to do it at PWI so there is not even a crazy thing to say.
>>
>>19885305
Yet more people watch NXT than AEW and more people in the demo watch TNA over Collision. Why is that?

How many people voted?
Stop dodging this question sycophants.
Apparently it's not the subscribers according Meltzer's ass lickers here but a selected group?

Meltzer has had some of the same voters since the 1980s. He's built the thing up over decades while cagematch might be even more of a niche nerd thing. Voting once a year on awards is different than voting for an episode of RAW. If Meltzer allowed his subscribers to vote on each TV show, few would bother. Also, I don't think there is anything preventing Tony from encouraging his office staff and janitors or whoever to subscribe and vote. But anyways, many long time fans believe booking and announcing are at all time lows, but someone still has to win those awards.
>>
>>19891478
The worst match of the year and most disgusting promotional tactic show that objectively the voters were anti-WWE. Even Alvarez called them out for it.
>>
Where's the "Megacuck" Award?
