THE FLIPPIES 2016

2015 was an emotional year.
An Network made to unite became a tool of class division, The Biggest Idiot in Wrestling pretaped spoilers to her company's biggest show, and abeyance became the word of the year!

But despite this, we had a memorable WrestleMania a raucous Money in the bank, and TNA shows so ridiculous, they became talking points!

THE DISCO STU AWARD FOR DEBUT OF THE YEAR
ASUKA- DESTINED MEETING, THANKS TO DESIGNATED SEATING!
It was a wet summer morning when I  was scouring through takeover clips, when a camera pan made me rub my eyes in disbelief, Kana was Sitting at ringside, and it sparked rumours, whet they existed or not, didn't matter as months later, she destroyed Dana " Lex Luger In Drag " Brooks!

THE MARGE VS VOILENT TELEVISION AWARD FOR FUNNIEST MOMENT
THE NEW DAY - OR HOW TO SUCCEED AS AN ALL ETHNIC GROUP WITHOUT MENTIONING GANGS, DRUGS, OR HIP HOP!
Don't ask me when swarmy smiling punching bags became a joy to watch, I'm just glad they did!

MAUD'S FUNERAL FOR SADDEST MOMENT OF THE YEAR
THE DEATH OF RODDY PIPER -LAY DOWN YOUR SILENT PIPES FOR NOW THEY PLAY FOR YOU!
From national heroes like Maureen O'Hara, to Literary heroes like Pratchett and Brian Friel not even Wrestlers were safe from the Celebrity Cull of 2015, we lost Nick Bockwinkel, Dusty Rhodes, but it was the death of a man who sufferings all his life, that got to me.

HER ASHES STOPPED THE MISSLE LAUNCH AWARD FOR EXIT OF THE YEAR
AWESOME KONG - GIVING IT ALL, LEAVING IT BEHIND FOR THE NEXT ONE!
Despite that joke of a final match, a loss to Jesse GlassJawz, It was revealed she was wrestling despite having back trouble ...FOR 2 YEARS!

MY PLANET NEEDS ME AWARD FOR GOOD RIDDANCE! DESTINATION AMERICA EXECUTIVES USING TNA TO HOCK THEIR SHITE WITHOUT RETURNING THE FAVOUR!

Many fans must have felt a twinge of embarrassment whenever time was given to A promo for BBQ Pit Masters with bbqs set at ringside, but the real limit was seeing Matt Hardy dressing as Bigfoot because TNA is on the Bigfoot Channel. it was worse over here, since those segments were badly edited out, so the entrance had magically appeared bbqs sets and fractured conversations.

THE 138TH FOR MATCH OF THE YEAR
MITB OWENS VS CENA - SHAKE YOUR HAND? I'VE KNOWN WHERE IT'S BEEN!
Blasting onto the scene Kevin Owens made one statement: He was not here to make friends. To prove that point, he destroyed his best friend, Sami Zayn and won The NXT Title by referee stoppage a wwe first. Then came a Blockbuster debut beating the hell out of Golden Boy In one hell of a feud this year. Superb stuff from the Canadian.

WORST EPISODE EVER! FOR STUPIDITY OF THE YEAR
THE DIVAS REVOLUTION - HARD TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY WHEN 2 BLONDE BIMBOS TAKE UP YOUR SCREEN TIME!
First Things First, the Diva's Division rightnow? Possibly the strongest and diverse roster we've had in a long time!

Sadly Creative has already Cooked the Goose before it laid any gold eggs!

Any matches that the divas did have, were shorter than expected, because more time was given to the Love Dodecahedron that was Lana/Rusev/Dolph/Dumber Rae/Breeze, turning all those Women involved, as a referred to previously, as "Hormonal Love Puppets!" Which was certainty not the direction we were supposed to be going!

THE POOCHIE AWARD FOR IDIOT OF THE YEAR -DIXIE CARTER -I'VE SEEN MAGIC 8-BALLS THAT GIVE BETTER GUIDANCE!
Was There ever any doubt?
From their "1st" show in January, (prerecorded in September last year), to the Pathetic Fan-Wank in North Carolina in October, Miss Carter's direction has made many cletch their fists, furrow an eyebrow, or just plain closed their eyes and wished it was all over, with mass filming of 10 shows, a TV station leeching time from matches, a certain hack of a champion who blocked me on Twitter, it was the fake tourney that was the breaking point. So somehow TNA has survived closer, but with a weakened roster, for how long?

THE BELLA AWARD FOR WORST FEMALE
EVA MARIE
BOXED CANCER!
From not kicking out properly, to mangling Simple English language ("You have a match...VERSE ME!) Eva earned her nickname, #AllBotchEverything!

THE MARGE FOR WOMAN OF THE YEAR
BAYLEY- NXT'S "LITTLE SISTER" COMES OF  AGE
I felt Like my Fledgling years as a wrestling writer again, since $ky $ports fucked up NXT coverage, but sometimes a match comes out so good eventually it becomes available to everyone. The 30 minute Iron woman match between her and Sasha Banks was one such match.

THE HOMER FOR WRESTLER OF THE YEAR
SETH ROLLINS
THE ARCHITECT OF THE FUTURE OF WWE
Despite his reign booked poorly (I think his Loss/Win ratio as champion may have being a new record) He saved WWE from Brock Lesner's Lazy Self Serving Reign. Get well soon Seth, I can't take any more of Blowman smiling like he's in a Mentos advert!
