Tag Team Wrestling ain't what it used to be. For the last few years, fans have seen the tag division in the "main companies" die down. But that doesn't mean that tag wrestling is dead. One company seems to have the market cornered. This year's Tag Team of the Year award is certainly "The Award of Honor"... Read More

Got an obstacle for him to overcome? Huh? Nice little narrative? Beginning, middle, and end? Some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends? At the end your main character is richer from the experience? Yeah.  This award isn't for anything like that... Read More
