Don't forget about MY version of the Slammy Awards here at Smark Out Moment by checking out the Best and Worst of WWE in 2012 Awards here.
Here are your current categories. I'll update this with spoilers and results as they come up. For now, here are my predictions.
Superstar of the Year
NOMINEES: Sheamus, Big Show, CM Punk, John Cena
PREDICTION: It should be CM Punk and it will be.
RESULT: John Cena
REVIEW: Hm. Well, second best option. Thankfully it wasn't Sheamus or Big Show. Pretty ridiculous that he gives it to Ric Flair. Flair did nothing all year.
Breakout Star of the Year
NOMINEES: Antonio Cesaro, Brodus Clay, Damien Sandow, Ryback
PREDICTION: Ryback.
RESULT: Ryback
REVIEW: I would have been surprised if it were anyone else.
Trending Now Award (Hashtag of the Year)
NOMINEES: #FeedMeMore, #PeoplePower, #LittleJimmy, #WWWYKI
PREDICTION: #PeoplePower
RESULT: #FeedMeMore
REVIEW: Shame they aren't using Ryder more and they killed his career when it was building a lot of steam. He's suffered this entire year.
Comeback of the Year
NOMINEES: Brock Lesnar, Chris Jericho, DX, Jerry Lawler
PREDICTION: Jerry the King Lawler.
RESULT: Jerry the King Lawler
REVIEW: Makes sense, the guy came back from DEATH. You can't get bigger than that.
Kiss of the Year
NOMINEES: AJ & Daniel Bryan, AJ & Kane, AJ & CM Punk, AJ & John Cena
PREDICTION: That's AJ and John Cena kissing. There's your segment for those two.
RESULT: AJ and John Cena
REVIEW: An award revolved entirely around a concept ends up being given to the one that it revolves around? Shocking!
Tell Me I Did Not Just See That (Most Shocking Moment of the Year)
NOMINEES: Brad Maddox low-blows Ryback, Sheamus beats Daniel Bryan in 18 seconds, Kofi Kingston's Royal Rumble save, CM Punk attacks the Rock
PREDICTION: Brad Maddox
RESULT: Kofi Kingston's Royal Rumble save
REVIEW: Awesome! When they announced the nominees, I was hoping they'd give it to Kofi. He deserves to be given praise for such an awesome move.
LOL Moment of the Year
NOMINEES: The Rock throwing out Cena's merchandise, Anger Management, Orton dumps food on Ricardo Rodriguez and Matt Striker, Vickie Guerrero dances
PREDICTION: Anger Management
RESULT: The Rock
REVIEW: He had to win something. At least they had Daniel Bryan come out and acknowledge that this should be Team Hell No's award.
Match of the Year
NOMINEES: HHH vs Undertaker, Brock Lesnar vs John Cena, Sheamus vs. Big Show Hell in a Cell, Rock vs Cena
PREDICTION: Triple H vs Undertaker at WrestleMania
RESULT: Undertaker vs Triple H
REVIEW: I'm not surprised about this one bit.
Betrayal of the Year
NOMINEES: Daniel Bryan dumps AJ Lee, AJ walks out on Bryan, Eve Torres low-blows Zack Ryder, Big Show knocks John Cena out at Over the Limit.
PREDICTION: Eve Torres low-blows Ryder.
RESULT: Big Show knocks John Cena out at Over the Limit.
REVIEW: Really?
Upset of the Year
NOMINEES: Justin Gabriel defeats Antonio Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler wins Money in the Bank, Santino Marella defeats Jack Swagger for the US title, Daniel Bryan beats Big Show and Mark Henry at Royal Rumble.
PREDICTION: Daniel Bryan beats Show and Henry.
RESULT: Daniel Bryan beats Show and Henry.
REVIEW: Good choice.
Feat of Strength of the Year
NOMINEES: Sheamus hits White Noise on Big Show, Big Show KO punches Sheamus at Hell in a Cell, Antonio Cesaro hits Neutralizer on Brodus Clay, Ryback hits Shell Shocked on Curt Hawkins & Tyler Reks at the same time
PREDICTION: Either Cesaro or Sheamus. We've seen Ryback do his thing multiple times.
RESULT: Sheamus White Noise.
REVIEW: Makes sense, as I was pretty surprised when I saw him do that and many others were as well.
Diva of the Year
NOMINEES: AJ Lee, Eve Torres, Layla, Kaitlyn
PREDICTION: Eve Torres. This gives her the chance to gloat. The only other alternative is to have AJ win and Vickie Guerrero take it from her or something.
RESULT: AJ Lee.
REVIEW: Good choice. She deserves it after being the only one that's been interesting the entire year.
Facial Hair of the Year
NOMINEES: Daniel Bryan, Damien Sandow, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk.
PREDICTION: It's clearly either Daniel Bryan or Cody Rhodes, but they could have entirely added this ridiculous category just because of the new mustache Cody Rhodes is supporting. Eli Cottonwood would be jealous.
RESULT: Daniel Bryan.
REVIEW: Glad to see they didn't just go with the latest thing.
Crowd Chant of the Year
NOMINEES: "Cody's mustache", "Feed me more", "Yes! Yes! Yes!", "Hoeski"
PREDICTION: They have to give this to the Yes chants.
RESULT: "Feed me more".
REVIEW: Meh, they should have given it to the Yes chant, but it's ok. At least they didn't give it to Hoeski.
YouTube Show of the Year
NOMINEES: Santino Marella's Foreign Exchange, Dolph Ziggler's WWE Download, Zack Ryder's Z! True Long Island Story, Are You Serious?
PREDICTION: WWE Download will win if Ziggler wins nothing else, but I could see this going to Ryder or Marella.
RESULT: Z! True Long Island Story.
REVIEW: WWE acknowledging Zack Ryder? What's next, he gets to actually wrestle a match on TV?
Exclusive Video of the Year
NOMINEES: Eve fires the Bella Twins online, Daniel Bryan explains why he's Mr. Small Package, Jerry Lawler speaks to WWE.com about his miraculous return, CM Punk and Paul Heyman address Punk's 365 day reign
PREDICTION: I have no idea whatsoever. Blind guess is the Mr. Small Package thing.
RESULT: Lawler's return.
REVIEW: Makes sense.
Tweet of the Year
NOMINEES: "I don't have Instagram. I'm an adult" - Cody Rhodes, "Goat face is a horrible insult. My face is practically perfect in every way. In fact, from now on I demand to be called Beautiful Bryan." - Daniel Bryan, "I did it for Andy Kauffman" - CM Punk, "Yes, this is the real Great Khali. I'm ready to tweet with you" - the Great Khali
PREDICTION: Why is Khali's tweet in there? Punk should win this but probably won't.
RESULT: Daniel Bryan.
REVIEW: Meh.
Top Social Media Ambassador
NOMINEES: The Muppets, Mike Tyson, Charlie Sheen, Arnold Schwarzenegger
PREDICTION: Arnold should win this.
RESULT: Charlie Sheen.
REVIEW: Award the guy that screwed up your plans for an event?
Insult of the Year
NOMINEES: CM Punk calls Daniel Bryan "goat-faced", "Look, you've finally got your wish. You're taller than everyone else" by Sheamus to Dolph Ziggler, "You're the exact opposite. One enjoys eating a lot of nuts and one is still trying to find his." - John Cena on Vickie and Dolph, "If John Cena had led the American Revolution, right now all of us would be playing cricket, we'd be sipping tea, and we'd be blessing the Queen" - The Rock
PREDICTION: Cena probably wins.
RESULT: John Cena.
REVIEW: Not really surprised. Like many of these awards, it doesn't really matter, and nobody will remember it come next week let alone next year.
Best Dancer of the Year
NOMINEES: Brodus Clay, Rosa Mendes, R-Truth, The Great Khali
PREDICTION: If they DON'T give this to Brodus Clay, it's obvious they have him in the dog house.
RESULT: Brodus Clay.
REVIEW: Damn right. That would have been an obvious message of a middle finger to create an award based on someone's gimmick and not give it to that person.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: The appearances of Ric Flair, the New Age Outlaws, Ricky Steamboat, Mean Gene Okerlund, and the Boogeyman were interesting and welcome. Tensai's head injury thing was weird. Some interesting choices for awards, nothing too crazy and annoying so that's good. I have to say I'm more looking forward to the Smark Out Moment Awards though ;)
