Добра класацийка. Странно ми е защо TNA Imact e провъзгласено за най-лошо шоу и TNA са взели 1во място за Worst Promotin Of The Year. Айде,promoting-a им и аз не мисля,че е кой знае какво,но чак пък шоуто им да е най-лошо... Като цяло съм съгласен с класацията. САНТИНО РУЛЗЗЗЗЗЗЗЗЗЗЗ! :clap: :clap:

Dave Meltzer is running wild!

Победителите не се определят от Dave Meltzer, а от абонатите на WON чрез гласуване.

[Shawn_Michaels]

Доста добра класация,съгласен съм с почти всичко от изброеното

[parcaleste]

Винс бая им сипва на тия. Има некои изумителни изхвърляния, а ТНА ги изкараха като последната година на WCW зле. С две думи - посрали са се от хейтърство.

[Yeah!~]

Егати малоумната класация .. егати ТНА хейтърите, тия не са добре ...

[LoVe_JoHn]

Добра е класацията, но не съм доволна от мача но годината. Безспорно мача на Джерико и Шон беше брилянтен, но за мене не достигна нивото на Шон vs. Flair :)

[Shawn_Michaels]

Точно,че Шон срещу Джерико беше най-добрия,беше адския докато в мача с Флеър нямаше нищо особено(освен емоционалните моменти),а и беше значително по кратък.Като качество тоя срещу Джерико беше 1 класа нагоре.
