PPV OF THE YEAR!!!
War Games. I say that as the guy who wrote the three preliminary matches and I got to read everybody's work on the boards.
Hon Mention: Shove-It! Sound and Fury. The turnout wasn't massive but the results were top notch, also well beyond my grasp of recreating.
ROLEPLAY OF THE YEAR!!!
A Deal is a Deal. I said it August, I'll say it now, RPotY. Ever read someone's RP and immediately think "Damn, I fucking lost!"? Yeah, that.

BIGGEST OOC MOMENT!!!
Chief Branding Officer. The new RP rules are big, but again the impact we won't see until next year.
BRAND OF THE YEAR!!!
Warfare. Anarchy had it's moments.
TAG TEAM OF THE YEAR!!!
"The Just US League" Blue Tango and The Atomic Bat.
NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR!!!
Dionysus, both for his work on the boards and for generally being a convivial guy OOC too. Sorry I left you hanging the other night on untap!
RETURNING STAR OF THE YEAR!!!
Thunder Knuckles.
OOC HANDLER OF THE YEAR!!!
Thad Duke: always contributing, was down to clown on Twitter/X not too long ago for the sake of having fun with the hobby.
MATCH OF THE YEAR!!!
Bourbon v Doc. Yes, I'm patting myself on the back, but more for selling the world on the notion it was the first time Bobby and Doc faced each other when they had a match in 2018, and then retconning it so it was.
BRAND MVP!!!
Warfare: Mark Flynn. He needs some recognition from me, and it will be here.
Anarchy: EDWARD, by a mile.
Madness: Parker.
MADE-UP CATEGORY: BEST COMEDY WRITER:
Roger. I laugh my ass off every single time.
STAR OF THE YEAR!!!
Ned Kaye. Ned has been the barometer of the fed all year, the character you could empathize with as a real person the most readily, and I honestly feel if he took more than he gave, he would have had at a potential Universal Title run.
