The 2012 Year End Awards for Wrestling:
Hello out there to all wrestling fans from around the world and a Happy Early New Year. Another year of Professional Wrestling has come and gone. What a year it was. We had incredible matches, mark-out moment returns, and moments that absolutely took our breath away. With that being said, we now have to ask ourselves, what were THE Best moments of 2012? Well wrestling fans, these are my thoughts. I am T-Hughes35, and this is your 2012 Year End Awards for the world of Professional Wrestling!

B: Hulk Hogan’s attempt at WHC History
C: WrestleMania XXIX
D: “TNA IMPACT Wrestling” going on the Road
E: Dolph Ziggler cashing in his Money In The Bank Contract
F: Where the powerhouse stables of Aces and 8s and The S.H.I.E.L.D. go from here

and many, many more…

    Exceptional Award show bud. Hell, if the wrestling community would follow your simple guideline as to how awards should be presented, The Slammy's may even be worth watching. You can't win em' all, and I'll even state that some of the "winners", I don't necessarily agree with. Yet still an awesome and well thought out blog.

    On a side note when I see sh*t like this, I get slightly pissed off;

    One last thing, and probably the awards I disagree with most... The Aces and 8s storyline is far and away the WORST storyline I've seen all year. It's a complete failure. Ace's and 8's is a MIDCARD feud. They tried it out as their top storyline, but it has now been relegated to a midcard storyline. Nobody cares about Wes Brisco, Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle against D-Von and DOC and these other guys. It doesn't make sense. Why do Ace's and 8's even want the destruction of TNA? If TNA is destroyed like they want, they're all out of a job. So what the hell is going on here? They have no reason for this.. it just doesn't make sense. Bobby Roode vs. Jeff Hardy and Hulk Hogan vs. Bully Ray are far more compelling than this BS storyline. Ugh, utter bullsh*t.
    Facts are facts! A&8's was and still is the most compelling storyline going around in the wrestling business. I'm not going to state that that it's been "top notch" these last few weeks, yet in the same run, to say that it's the WORST storyline you've seen all year, is (in your very own words) "utter bullsh*t"!!!. What the f*ck kind of programming have you been watching all year?? I guess you may be right though, perhaps the AJ/Cena storyline did have a slight advantage over them. But hell....Who am I to say right?!?!...you ARE the "WrestlingNerd" aren't ya?....


    Great Blog bro! Glad to see you put the time and effort into it.

    Ace's and 8's is compelling if you get drawn in by the cool masks and the feeling of mystery behind them.. and the whole invasion storyline that's been done a million times already in the wrestling business. When you remove the make-up of these guys.. it's just a big multi-man tag feud with no real motive for these guys to be feuding. Ace's and 8's have never even said what they're in TNA for besides destroying it.. and why they want to destroy it. Plus, it doesn't make any sense! Why would TNA give them a chance to appear on Impact every week by giving them a Bound For Glory match when they're destroying everything and running around giving beat downs with hammers and other foreign objects... and their main objective apparently is to destroy the company? How does that make sense? Please explain that to me and I will take back everything I said. It's just a senseless storyline that only entertains those who don't look into the details of things and get too easily caught up in the countless invasion storylines that we've seen throughout pro wrestling's history.
