    ooooooh scooter is a “smart” fan. listen wouldn’t a mark kind of get tarnished if they read the stuff on this site. and if they where a “mark” why wouldn’t they just “mark out” for WWE.com or something?

    Call me a WWE mark then, because I agree with all the categories except for Jeff Hardy leaving the WWE as being the Most Shocking Departure of the Year. I mean, they promoted and released his DVD right after he “left,” and are still mentioning his name on TV. He was on a hiatus and he’s supposedly coming back now. That’s not “leaving,” that’s taking a break. I’m sure the guy is still under WWE payroll.

    whoever said jeff hardy leaving wwe wasn’t a big deal is stupid because jeff hardy was the biggest face in the entire wwe.go ahead and compare jeff hardy’s crowd reaction to john cena and rey mysterio. they don’t even come close.DX and Jeff Hardy are like tied for biggest crowd reactions.

    I’m going to get SO much slack for this, but I think that the match of the year was Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho at The Bash. And not by a lot either. BARELY the match of the year. Taker vs. Michaels is an AWESOME Wrestlemania match, maybe one of the best of all-time, maybe even the best match EVER when history is written; HOWEVER, if you watch Mysterio vs. Jericho from The Bash, they tore it up and if you just compare THOSE TWO, I think Jericho vs. Mysterio was better. Every move was perfect. There was no downtime at all. There was psychology, lucha libre, counterwrestling, chain wrestling, nearfalls, and a PERFECT ending (Jericho reverses a pinning combination by keeping his hand on Rey’s mask, gets kicked off, takes off Rey’s mask, Rey’s wearing a second mask, enziguiri, 619, dropping the dime). Holy shit, that match was perfect.

    Haha… Of course most users of this website would be “wwe marks”.. or to use a more accurate term.. WWE fans… Because there’s a good reason WWE gets higher ratings than TNA… more people like it… or know about it…

    “Woman of the Year
    Lacey Von Erich – 1 vote”

    That’s laugh out loud funny right there. I wonder if Lacey just so happened to have time to kill just to come here and vote for herself.

    I wish there was a vote for Worst Signing of the Year because I’m willing to bet she would win easily.

    Seriously

    The results in this poll shows that theres so many people who use this website that clearly have never watched TNA or not more than once, because obviously if you had you would know Kurt Angle has been a better wrestler than Orton. Any of MCMG, Beer Money, Team 3D or British Invasion have been way better than Jerishow. TNA HAS a tag division WWE does not. Also no female wrestler in the WWE has had a better year than TNA’s

    Raw getting so many votes is shocking too, its awful compared to SD and Impact

    Anyway, if the users on here had watched both products I think that the results would be a lot different, seriously guys, watch TNA. You may like it
