2016 Observer Awards are out

[Here Comes the Pain]

Raw>>>>TNA

Reigns the most overrated:reignswhat:

If anything he should be the most improved.

As an in ring wrestler Cesaro isn't the most underrated. As an overall performer he isn't either.

No LU???:bookercomeon:

Tell the marks at observe to smarten up.

 

[Amor fati]

The B Level wrestler got HHH got 4 awards for being the most overrated which he is. Still I don't know why he got wrestler of the year in 2001? he is mediocre.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Styles

Zack Sabre

Raw

NXT's fall from grace

 

[GiantGonzalez]

How the fukk does Matt Riddle win Most Improved AND Rookie of the Year, tho .

Alot of people are with wrestlers how hipsters are with bands. When nobody fuccs with them they love the wrestler, then when they glo up, get that $, go platinum, they turn on them

 

[Vinny Lupton]

These "smarks" need to stop with Cesaro. He's a great wrestler but his gimmick is trash and he was given multiple opportunities on the microphone this year and was very average. What do they want out of him? He's not world champion material.

Really tho. Creh is this this generation's Dean Malenko. They sign on the marquee says WWE, not Wrestling

 

[TheGodling]

Why the fukk do people hate Matt Striker so much? He's one of the few announcers who knows all the moves, knows the history and actually sells the in-ring story. Yeah, he can be a bit mark-ish but he's legit one of the best out now.

Probably for that reason

I don't mind him but some of his alliteration and metaphors are WOAT

Jack Swagger was WHC

 

[Playaz Eyez]

I thought it was because everyone seemed to think the quality of the show fell off and people lost interest

Kinda think that was just you tbh

Will never understand how gorilla monsoon won worst announcer so many times, watching him on the network the guy is great.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Were they voting for late run WWE Matt Striker? Cause there's nothing wrong with LU Matt Striker at all. And Michael Cole should still be in the top 3 worst announcers

Meltzer hated him because he was so over the top and cartoony and felt like he was the opposite of what pro wrestling should be, which was whatever AJPW was doing, usually. That hate bled over to his fan base.

 

[Vinny Lupton]

Jack Swagger was WHC

And now is coming to a highschool gym near you. What's your point?

 

[OVER]

David Otunga isn't good by any stretch but Josh Matthews of TNA should've won worst announcer. He legit thinks he's the greatest announcer of all time, he's a babyface and the voice of TNA even though he's Thoroughly unlikable and has a raspy voice.
