Die Wrestling Observer Awards 2014 – Alle Kategorien & Alle Gewinner!

In der aktuellen Ausgabe des Wrestling Observer Newsletters war es wieder einmal so weit: Die Ergebnisse der alljährlichen Awards wurden veröffentlicht und die Gewinner der prestigeträchtigsten und vielleicht wichtigsten Jahresawards wurden bekannt gegeben. Gewählt wird jedes Jahr von den WrestlingObserver/F4WOnline-Lesern unter denen sich Fans, Experten/Journalisten und Wrestler befinden. Dies ist im Gegensatz zur PWI500 oder WWE’s Slammys keine Kayfabe-Wahl. In jeder A-Kategorie durften 5,3 und 2 Punkte für die Plätze 1,2 und 3 vergeben werden. (Bei den B-Kategorien konnte nur Platz 1 vergeben werden) Gewählt wurde Promotionübergreifend, wobei einige Kategorien in MMA und Pro-Wrestling getrennt wurden. In Klammern könnt ihr die Angabe der “Platz 1″ Wertungen sehen, während die Zahl dahinter die Gesamtpunktzahl darstellt. Bewertungszeitraum war 1. Dezember 2013 bis 30. November 2014! Das NXT [R]Evolution Special und WWE TLC&S fiel also zum Beispiel nicht mit in die diesjährige Abstimmung. Nun aber genug der Vorrede und los gehts mit den Kategorien…
