Hello everyone! It's that time we acknowledge and award the many talented people within our roster. Although staff are going to be handling picking the winners, it's always good to see what everyone else thinks. Helping us out could break a tie or add something we overlooked.

Please look at the list below and choose who you think is most deserving, this can be done in a reply to this thread or by DMing me. Write-ins are very much allowed and encouraged, especially for Promo of the Year where we didn't have access to the full year of RPOTM and honestly there's too many great RPs this year.

• Sebastian Everett-Bryce
  

Look at that uni reign, I mean honestly, what more needs to be said? When you stay at the top for so long, you’re the wrestler of the year in my eyes. 



Team of the Year
Which team has had a good run, shown excellent collaboration with strong promos, title reigns and big match wins.

• The MAGA Powers (Misty Waters and Madison Dyson)
  

They have the punniest name in the division, and for a guy like me, that goes really far. Not to mention their stellar and delightful yet partially problematic role plays!



Match of the Year
Most memorable match that had strong RPs behind it and was excellently written.


[*]“Micheal Graves” v. Mark Flynn (WarGames)


They don’t call Anarchy the ‘A’ show for no reason. Without a doubt, Flynn vs Graves was a compelling story throughout much of 2024 and it helped headline a burgeoning division on the A show. This match was more than a match, it was a compelling and long running story that helped keep a lot of action on Anarchy. 




Promo of the Year
What promo had it all? Amazing character development, well-crafted story, biting trash talk.

• The Institution - "The Circuitry of Us: Institutionalized"
  

Really bought into the theme of the show and completely hit it off the charts at every level. 



Newcomer of the Year

2 belts?!?!?!? Jimmy 2 belts is my vote all day everyday! He better stick the fuck around. What a proper heel! 

Return of the Year
Which character returned to the XWF after some time and made their mark. Did they improve from last time or carry on where they left off? Was their return a cool surprise?

• Madison Dyson

While I’m incredibly flattered by the nomination, I think it’s a bit tacky to vote for yourself for return of the year. So to maintain incredibly tacky energy but perhaps generate heat while simultaneously casting a completely valid ballot, I vote for Dyson. They have been a very strong performer week in and week out and post a very good W-L record against the fellow nominees. Wins and consistency count considerably!

Never causes drama and always lends a hand. I don’t think anyone in the fed causes as little drama nor lends as many hands, in fact! This was an easy choice. 





PPV of the Year
What PPV had the best matches, segments, shocks and vibe.

• War Games: Fallout
  

I won, so I’m obviously very partial. Never won a war games before! Than you forever more, my glorious team captain! I hope your back is recovering from that intense carry. 




Moment of the Year
What was the biggest shock, return or surprise of the year?

• John Black becoming the first Revolution champion
  

A lot of titles come and go, but I think JB did an excellent job sheparding this one into the XWF! 




Lifetime Achievement Award

• Thaddeus Duke’s financial prowess for saying he'll bring back the Xbux system only to give himself 5,000,000 and resetting everyone else to 0.
  

What a cunt move! I love it.

It's not the end of the month, but you're going to get ELO anyway! Or... as much as I can do, because some of these don't really fit for it. It's a good test for my system though for me to refine... one day.

Wrestler of the Year
For 10 months (and 15 before that) one person sat atop the rankings list and repeatedly fought off potential threats in Corey Smith, Ned Kaye, and eventually the man who knocked him off.
Statistically speaking, my vote is apparently going to the man allegedly called "Micheal Graves". With the E before the A.

Team of the Year
A problem for my data, as I have not done a teams spreadsheet. I thought about it once, but the eligibility criteria would be very skewed as so few teams reach 5 matches, even ones who become champions. Still, if I had to average scores out, I would think that the long-term tag champs, Ned Kaye and Prince Adeyemi, would get the win.

Match of the Year
Of the nominees, the highest average score was probably Sean Parker v. Mark Flynn v. Sebastian Everett-Bryce (Leap of Faith). I would probably vote for this if I wasn't taking an ELO-approach as well.

Promo of the Year
ELO doesn't score promos. I wanted to vote for Game Girl, because I greatly enjoy the character, but... that rp didn't win the Captain's match. Instead, I'm going to vote for the character who did, but acknowledge the rp that started it all for them. Winning the Free For All Battle Royal set him off hundreds of rating points higher than the others who came in at the same time, so I would like to acknowledge Sebastian Everett-Bryce - "The Price We Pay". ELO will make sure to keep track of all of the RPs of the Month in 2025 as the boards don't keep track of it.

Newcomer of the Year
How could it be anybody else? Debuting ranked at number 2, with a whopping 1951.22 rating, it's Sebastian Everett-Bryce.

Return of the Year
12 names returned to the ELO rankings this year. The highest ranked did not get a nomination, and I understand why given their role in the federation now, as well as the lack of follow-up. Stats are stats though; it's a write-in: Thaddeus Duke - returning at number 4 in the rankings in September. (Madison Dyson deserves this though)

Storyline of the Year
Statistics! No, not voting for myself. I'm voting for the most interesting statistics battle on the ballot. After both were chomping out our ELO leader's heels throughout the year, the winner of this rivalry seemed destined to eventually reach the top themselves - and they then did. We got 6 months out of this: Ned Kaye vs SEB.

Locker Room Leader
There is no data in ELO for this. Excluding staff, the three nominees here are easily the most consistent at helping out with shows. I would love to spotlight Aurora for jumping in here and doing so much work behind the scenes, despite not having the longevity behind their tenure.

PPV of the Year
The month we got a new number one, and always get a big rankings shake-up: War Games: Fallout.

Moment of the Year
As someone who has been rooting for him since I first saw him, any other year I would give it to Ned Kaye. This year? It has to be Theo Pryce retiring.

Lifetime Achievement Award
I like stats and numbers. I can't feasibly vote for someone using them so dishonestly as our dear leader did, so... Charlie Nickles for a record number of faux X-Treme Championship pin attempts on James Shark.
