-Alright, I have to start off by saying, these may not be the people I give my votes for. I just think that these are people who deserve some acknowledgment for their talents, and contributions. Yeah, your right, I probably will vote for most of these people, but, inmy opinion, I think these are some of the NWC greats, and deserve our thanks. So to all you guys in the NWC who make it work day in and day out, Thanks!
BEST WRESTLER: This is a really hard question to answer. I have seen many great wrestlers, some big names, and some not so big. But on this one, I think I have to go with a person who has always been great, and has brought his region quite a bit of attenion. My pick is:
"The King of Swing" Hunter Sabuani
Honorable Mentions: Armageddon, and "Sheriff" Damon Hayes
BEST TAG TEAM: This is another tough question. I don't follow the tag teams as much as I do single wretslers, but if I have to choose one, there are definentely a few that stick out in my mind. My pick is:
The Outlanders
Honorable Mentions: The West Coast Legends, and Black Ops.
BEST CRUISERWEIGHT (235-): This one has to go to the man who has done well for the GSW. My pick is:
James "911" Hill
Honorable Mention: Rob Payne, "Showtime" Trey Slater
MOST POPULAR WRESTLER: There are a lot og guys who are fan favorites. I think there is one guy who has really prooven himself to his fans though, and he deserves this award. My pick is:
Armageddon
Honorable Mention: "Sheriff" Damon Hayes
MOST HATED WRESTLER: I have seen a lot of great heels since I've been in here. But I think the one man that really deserves my vote, is a man we have all heard of. My pick is:
Mr. Sinister
Honorable Mention: Steve Sire
MOST IMPROVED: This is a very hard award to chose,as there are many who have improved upon themselves. But I think this one has to go to a guy who has done very well for himself, and even capturing himself a belt. My pick is:
"Playboy" Piston McShain
Honorable Mentions: "The Slayer" Shawn Kowalksi [I gotta say myself, because in my opinion, I have really improved], Scorn.
BEST NEWCOMER:(1-3 months as of AEL2) This award has to go to a man who is new to the GCW, yet already has himself a title. My pick is:
Tantalus
Honorable Mention: Scorn [I think he has been in the GCW for about 3 months]
BEST MANAGER/VALET: I don't really keep up with managers all too much, but I have seen some. I don't know too much about any of them though. But my pick has to be:
The Lovely Luther
Honorable Mention: Lady Artemis, Miss Madison
OUTSTANDING FEUD: On this one, there is one who towers above the rest. One that exceeds them all.My pick is:
Steve Sire vs. Goliath
Honorable Mentions: Shawn Kowalski vs. Scorn, "Terrific" Tomas Bailey vs. Estrago
OUTSTANDING WEEKLY SHOW: I think I have to go with my own region on this one, after all, I think they do a great job!
GCW Glory
Honorable Mentions: SCCW Snake Eyes
SPOKESMAN'S TROPHY: I'll take a skip on this one.
GREATEST MATCH: Well, this is a toughy. I am going to have to go with a match from Coboslam XIV though. And the match is for the NWC Heavyweight championship. My pick is:
Armageddon vs. "Sheriff" Damon Hayes
Honorable Mention: "The Slayer" Shawn Kowalski vs. Scorn in a Crucifixion match at Big Guns.
GREATEST REGIONAL PAY-PER-VIEW EVENT: The NWC has seen many great pay per views in its time. But there are certain ones that stick out in my mind, both pretty recent. My pick is:
MCW Coboslam XIV (The final one)
Honorable Mention: GCW Big Guns
Special Awards:
TRUE DEDICATION AWARD (REGION HEADS): There is one man who really stands out to me. He has stuck with his region for a long time, and went out with a bang. He is:
MCW's Al Lucente
Honorable Mention: Joshua McShain and John Tatta [Dan Mahakali] These two men worked as hard as they could to get the HIW ready for NWC competition. There hard work has now paid off, and they have got the HIW into the NWC. Great job guys!
NWC STAFFER PLAQUE (NWC STAFF): There isn't much competition to this one, at least in my opinion. My pick is:
Chris Schukar
OUTSTANDING MATCHWRITER AWARD: There is only one names that really comes out in my mind. My pick is:
Al Lucente
EXCELLENCE IN CREATIVITY AWARD (ANY): Well, another tough question. I think of Al, but I can also think of one other name. The decision was difficult, but I have to go this way. I mean the guys calls his belt, his baby! My pick is:
"Vapid" Victor Ramos
Honorable Mention: Al Lucente
HANDLER'S TROPHY: This is a very important award, and as they become important, they also become very hard to decide upon. But, there are a few who I think deserve this recognition. With all that said, I know give you my pick:
Joshua McShain
-Not only does he keep up a character who holds a belt, and has an outstanding record, he also helps to run the HIW. I think that is a task that many of us could not handle. Whether this changes your mind or not, I don't care. But I will tell you that he has my vote.
