Die Wrestling Observer Awards 2023 – 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. Januar 2024 bis 31. Dezember 2024.
