The bunny won animal of the year?

What about Batista?

And what about Torito and Hornswoggle as a gator? I call fix!

Not sure how they can justify giving the Superstar of the Year award to Reigns, I know they want to push him, but it's ridiculous that they can't see that by doing what they're currently doing, the crowd will turn on him. Wrestling crowds, now more than ever clearly are not a fan of being told who to like and who the "best" is, it has to happen a lot more organically. It was happening organically with Reigns, that's essentially what made him popular is that he was a heel who eventually started getting big cheers (see Royal Rumble). WWE picked up on it and although the injury can't be helped, their presentation of Reigns has been awful, he actually does less in the ring than he had when he was in The Shield and also give him those awful pre-taped, badly scripted sattelite promos. It's when it comes to things like this that I don't understand WWE at all. 

In Kayfabe, Reigns was one of the last people you could say deserved it from the nominations.

Brock Lesnar - Ended the Streak, won the title by destroying John Cena, still champion now - sure he can't accept the award, but surely giving him superstar of the year should only increase his value as a commodity and big him up before his return

Seth Rollins - Mr. Money in the Bank, has been basically the star of the WWE for the last few months, took out Ambrose and Orton - would have also got him a lot of heat for winning it.

Daniel Bryan - Won two matches at Wrestlemania against three big stars, ended it as World Champion. 

Even somebody like John Cena who has been world champion in this year would have been a better option in kayfabe than Reigns.

I did laugh when Seth Green said the awards weren't pre-determind!

Don't buy the fans would've voted for Reigns in their droves.

I've not seen Raw yet, and I probably won't.

As Crimey says above, Reigns doesn't deserve that award. I can see what WWE is doing by keeping him relevant and getting a pop for him coming out live. But, it also shows the worst of WWE telling their viewer what is best for them and booking for a reaction from the live crowd rather than a story for the TV viewer. Reigns probably can become the next big thing for WWE, but if they blow it they will have themselves to blame for putting him at the top, rather than letting fans push him there.

I'm not sure about the Charlotte/Natalya result, as I've not seen the match. I get the idea that NXT is the little league, but I don't think it does any favours to that Network show, if your champ is easily beaten by your Raw roster.

Thats my main gripe from RAW. Makes no sense to have your champion lose, especially to a non-entity as Natalya is now.

Only in the wacky world of WWE could you have an awards show...where the awards don't actually go to the person who won them!! It should have been called 'the stealing award's' since it appeared anyone could just come out & take the award instead of the actual winner!

Agreed on Reigns; said to myself before it was even announced that Reigns would win it such is the predictable booking of WWE...

What's more stupid is if the WWE do genuinely want to use Brock to break Reigns through the glass ceiling then they are going about it in a strange way. Why not have him win Superstar of the Year...that way your adding to the prestige of the moment someone goes over him.

Also anyone else find it strange that Reigns has been going on about coming back and essentially getting revenge on Rollins...yet he was in the same arena as the man himself yet did nothing as all hell broke loose and Rollins was curb stomping people left right and center!

If anyone else bad mouths Reigns I swear to god I will c**k my fist and make it rain in this bitch

Ironically the part of that quote that isn't the swear word gets censored

Hahahahaha

I don't really see the issue.

He broke records at the Royal Rumble, being one of the last two left.
He had an incredible match against the Wyatts as part of the Shield at EC.
He was part of the winning team at Wrestlemania.
He was in a MOTY nominee and pinned Batista at Extreme Rules.
He had another great match with the Shield at Payback where he pinned both Batista and Triple H (not many can say that).
He was in the main event at MITB and Battleground which were WWE World Heavyweight Championship matches.
He pinned Orton to win at Summerslam (another big feather in the cap).
He pinned Seth Rollins cleanly (at that time, Rollins was on a roll
We assume he would have gone on to pin Rollins at NOC.

When you look at that, the opponents he pinned, coupled with the fact they were all clean pins, I do not see another Superstar of the Year nominee who was as consistent (booking wise) as Reigns. He missed two months of action due to injury. How many did Bryan miss? Sure the storyline was perhaps more engaging but nowhere near as consistent over the year as Reigns. Put simply in terms of booking, he is untouchable compared to the other nominees. Now if you're factoring in charisma into the superstar of the year you may have a point but regardless I have no bones to pick about this award and fully believe many casual fans would have voted for him. Large sections of the IWC simply do not like handpicked favourites. The majority like to choose their own

Meltzer and your guy of reddit claim (and always have done) that the poll results are real.

Didnt Rollins pin Batista at Payback?

Samo wrote:Didnt Rollins pin Batista at Payback?

Yes, after a Reigns spear.

The fact that Daniel Bryan was backstage at Raw but didn't appear suggests that the poll was legit and that him and Reigns were both flown in just in case, but I really don't care enough to argue about it

Did anyone else (who actually watched the show) think Scott Steiner had returned when the ambulance siren interrupted Bray Wyatt?

I thought the most mental part of the ambulance segment  "smoke" belting out of it as soon as Ambrose opened the door, what was that all about? 


then it took an age for them to hit his music, presumably because no-one in the arena could tell it was Ambrose so they had to make it more obvious, also, don't know if anyone else could see either Ambrose or a pyro guy struggle behind the door for a good few seconds before it opened...meh, it was just a horrible segement, making Ambrose look like a mentalist feels to forced, let him do it naturally, It comes across much better

Mick Foleys daughter though

yeah I did. But I've had this before when Ryback had that spell when he kept on coming out in an ambulance.

Happy with most of the awards tbh. Lesnar would of been my pick. Reigns isn't the worse shout though. Good build up to TLC though which will be the last free ppv on sky sports I believe.
