[edit] 2006 Awards

Does anyone know when WON is gonna be doing the awards for 2006 and when they will be added to this article Don.-.J 12:37, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I think the year end issue is out in a week or two with the awards for this year. Zdunne 22:48, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

ok the results for 2006 havent been added so im guessin they havent been announced yet or nobody can be bothered to add them to the article. if its the 2nd one can someone tell me how to find them on the website and i'll add them. Don.-.J 20:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I have put up some of the results of the major awards, also changed the description of the Lou Thez/Ric Flair so it specifies it is for the "PERFORMER OF THE YEAR" not Wrestler of the year as MMA Fighters can be nominated.

It is referred to as Performer of the Year in the observer.

The Top 10 for Lou Thez/Ric Flair Award were:

1 Mistico 220/2,245 2 Edge 134/1,985 3 Tito Ortiz 261/1,620 4 Bryan Danielson 83/947 5 Samoa Joe 60/645 6 Mirko Cro Cop 92/625 7 Matt Hughes 78/516 8 Perro Aguayo, Jr. 26/505 9 John Cena 11/453 10 Chuck Liddell 41/353

The First Number is the number of first place votes, and the second number is total number of votes

I'll add the rest shortly, once I've finshed reading the observer.

ALL Results of the 2006 Awards now added, this awards issue is out now--Acjc 19:17, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UFC 61?

Worst Pay Per View of the year UFC 61? IN WRESTLING? UFC 61 is not a wrestling show it is a MMA Show!60.230.44.75 03:35, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

WON covers wrestling and MMA, hence the "best shoot fighter" award. –– Lid(Talk) 04:38, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2003: Pride Final Elimination

There was no such show in 2003, there was a PRIDE Final Conflict 2003 and PRIDE Total Elimination 2003, but it was listed as best major show of 2003. I arbitrarily changed it to Final Conflict since it's probably more likely that the finals were the more exciting show, but I think it needs to be double checked. hateless 18:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

They have been announced now, but we're waiting for either a viable website to post these or someone who was the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Or in short: It will be coming within a week or two. COOLRUNNER87 (talk) 00:03, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I think we should take off "Milan Miracle" next to Santino's name. I find it highly, highly, highly, HIGHLY unlikely that the people who voted for him in that category did so with his face character in mind. Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 09:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
