My 2 Cents on the matter...

Biggest Asshole of the Year: The Tristan Slater

For a bunch of reasons that I will not list. For the most part, Slater was the meanest, nastiest, sumbitch in the fed, and he wasn't afraid to let anybody know it. Even his closest "friends", Tax and Joseph Page, got some vicious shots from the champ.


Match of the Year: Joseph Page vs. Tristan Slater I

...and II, while we're at it. I think II could have taken the cake here, but the Flynn interruption at the end (58 minutes into a 60-man match) kinda marred the ending, not to mention, OOC-wise, I think Slater definitely got the better of Page. The 1st match, however, I thought was a lot closer, and thought that Page had it won. Judges did not agree. Still a helluva match.


Upset of the Year: Peter Gilmour/Sid Feder defeats Tax/Joseph Page

OOC-wise, it was basically Feder who ripped Page and Tax, but IC-wise, it was Gilmour who landed big moves on both big-time stars. For the majority of the year, Gilmour was considered one of the bottom feeders of the division, while Page and Tax shot towards the top. Feder was the wild card - and man, did he perform well, eventually carrying himself all the way to a Lethal Lottery win. Tax and Page was devastated by the loss, while Gilmour joined Barney Green as the most popular stars of the year.


Shock of the Year: Robert Miles Unmasked as Mark Flynn

Did ANYBODY see this coming? That's what I thought. Robert Miles was a brilliant persona, and aside from the Soda Pop debacle, it was a perfect set up to Flynn cashing in his briefcase. I don't think I've ever seen this done in an e-fed. Absolutely brilliant setup - kudos to Flynn for this one.


Biggest Newcomer Impact of the Year: ???

Not sure what exactly this means...I'm assuming this is basically the rookie of the year category. If so, just about everyone in the fed is included. If so, my vote goes to The Tristan Slater. Regardless of recent events, the man held the XWF Championship for nearly the entire second half of the year, and with promising talent all across the roster, that is a worthwhile feat.
