[Diamond_Dog]

Само да поясня, че това са най-престижните награди за годината в кеча.

[DAMN]

Не мисля, че Импакт е няй-лошото шоу на годината но както и да е...

[LoVe_JoHn]

Джон най-много се вижда в списъка и има защо :yahoo: Много се кефя! Той заслужава това заради всички което е постигнал! (моля ви не ме питайте анти-фенчета кво е постигнал, всички го знаете) И също се кефя за вражда на годината - Тейкър с/у Батиста!

[neshev]

Dave Meltzer - Randy Couture mark...

Иначе...

Promotion of the Year - Ultimate Fighting Championship

Best Weekly Television Show - Ultimate Fighting Championship: The Ultimate Fighter

Няма нужда от повече коментар.

[nWoHulkster]

Някой да не се обърка нещо. Тези награди се правят след гласуване от абонатите на WO, което сами можете да си решите дали е нещо добро или нещо лошо.

Promotion of the Year - 2007

1. UFC (280)

...

4. NOAH

...

7. New Japan

...

Ето заради ОЛИГОФРЕНИИ като тази на мен лично мнението на читателите на WO винаги ми е било съмнително. Те (както и Meltzer всъщност) си имат явни пристрастия (на които между другото лесно може да се влияе) и това винаги се отразява на класацията - някои години повече, други по-малко. Именно затова аз повече си тача някои други класации, макар че едва ли може да се намери някъде подобна добра обща класация. Най-добрите класации обикновено са такива, които са само за една област (пример: The Strong Style Spirit Awards). Иначе тази година според мен класацията се е получила средна работа, особено по-долните позиции (които не са постнати в тази тема). На някои места е екстра, на други бива, на трети suck-ва. Както и да е. Важното е, че скоро излизат най-добрите награди за lucha libre, в които за съжаление тази година не успях да се включа. :(

[G]

Много зле е тази класация!!!

[Guest wohov]

Абе ако TNA бяха спечелили за най-добро шоу и т.н. нямаше да е гадна класацята и да е пресилена....

[vassil1990]

За мене Сина съвсем спокойно може да съперничи на Кали за most overrated.

[KZL]

Класацията смърди, би трябвало да е ясно на всички. ECW къде го забравиха? Нали и то е tv show.

Impact е далеч от първата позиция за лошо шоу. ;)

[shile]

Тази година наградите на Wrestling Observer не ми харесват особено,не само защото TNA са отнесли повечето негативни призове,някои от които заслужено,други категорично не,но има и доста други странни неща.Все пак има и категории,където класирането ми допада,но като цяло миналогодишните класации на WO ми се струват далеч по-обективни.Не мога да разбера също каква е тази странна практика да смесват pro wrestling-a с ММА в повечето категории.

Айде нека има и пълните класации:

[gboy]

Тая класация Винс ли я е правил ?

[UltraMadd]

Като цяло въобще не съм доволен от класацията. Има някои неща, с които съм съгласен, но усещам прекалено голям негативизъм към TNA, както и някои много големи пристрастия. Според мен е смешно Danielson vs. Morishima да бъде обявен за най-добър мач на годината, както и Go To Sleep да бъде обявен за най-добър ход.

[KZL]

1.Подписването на Pacman е пред "Смъртта на Vince". Wtf?

2.Mike Tenay е в класацията за най-лош и съответно за най-добър коментатор?

3.Storm Vs Harris мача е по-напред от Donald Vs Rosey, наистина?

Мога да продължа с примерите, но мисля че схванахте идеята. Читателите на Observer-а са си заклети WWE фенове. До такава степен, че направо понасмръдва.
