[SlayJ]

Alright, let's do this...

PWG Show of the Year: STEEN WOLF (Being that I started the "Show of the Year" chant that night, I guess this is the obvious choice)

Wrestler of the Year: Tie - KEVIN STEEN & EL GENERICO (I hate to go the "tie" route, but both of these guys deserve this title)

Match of the Year: KEVIN STEEN vs EL GENERICO (Steen Wolf) (This was very highly anticipated and these two lived up to the hype delivering an exciting, emotional, cringe-worthy brutal, FANTASTIC MOTY contender)

Tag team of the year: THE YOUNG BUCKS (RockNES Monsters are a close 2nd, but the Bucks OWNED it this year!)

Newcomer of the year: WILLE MACK (I know his debut was last year, but Mack's ascension over 2011 was quite impressive)

Biggest improvement: THE ROCKNES MONSTERS (Yuma and Goodtime should be in for an incredible 2012)

Breakout star: AKIRA TOZAWA (It was nothing but a pleasure and an honor being able to watch this little foul-mouthed Japanese ass kicker do his thing in '11. He ALWAYS brought his A-Game in the ring and his charisma was off the charts!)

Return of the year: SUPER DRAGON (NOTHING else could've followed Kevin Steen vs El Generico and expected to make an impact, but SD's return actually ECLIPSED the frenzied emotion of Generico winning the PWG Title. Incredible stuff!)

Favorite moment: Once again, nothing can compare to El Generico's ladder match victory and the Super Dragon aftermath. The only thing that comes close is Tozawa's farewell)

Least favorite show of the year: CARD SUBJECT TO CHANGE III (A bad omen to change the name of a show from 'WINNING" to this)

Most disappointing match: KEVIN STEEN vs DAVEY RICHARDS (The Perils of Rock n' Roll Decadence) (I was actually somewhat disappointed by several of Claudio's title defenses, but this was a bit of a dream match for me, and the shitty fans that night killed a lot of the potential for this to shine)

Which wrestler was the biggest letdown: KENNY KING (I was really hoping to see KK come in and quickly demand some attention, but he was just kinda "there" during his PWG appearances. Hopefully he can step his game up here in 2012)

Least impressive newcomer: SHANE HELMS (He and Joey almost derailed the WrestleReunion show on thie own)

For 2012:

Next breakout star: CHRIS KADILLAK
Who you most want to see debut (non SoCal wrestlers): SABU (I would absolutely love to see Sabu in Reseda at least one time. I'd also like Gargano to come in with Chucky T)
What local wrestler do you most want to see debut?: SOCAL CRAZY or JOHNNY PARADISE to team up with Avalon
Who do you want to see return? KENNY OMEGA (not to mention The Briscoes and Colt Cabana)
Who do you most want to see go away? (Any dickish fans who bring negativity to the shows)
Match you most want to see (among those involved with PWG): CHUCK TAYLOR vs EL GENERICO in a PWG title match or STEEN/SUPER DRAGON vs THE BRISCOES

[Garden State Saint]

PWG Show of the Year: STEEN WOLF (Being that I started the "Show of the Year" chant that night, I guess this is the obvious choice)

During which match was this?

[Meltman]

PWG Show of the Year: STEEN WOLF (Being that I started the "Show of the Year" chant that night, I guess this is the obvious choice)

During which match was this?

Right after Dragon's return, when he goes to the back.

[Garden State Saint]

PWG Show of the Year: STEEN WOLF (Being that I started the "Show of the Year" chant that night, I guess this is the obvious choice)

During which match was this?

Right after Dragon's return, when he goes to the back.

Did Dragon by chance flip you off?

[eastbay510]

I just thought of a match i want to see, Adam Cole Vs. El Generico, i dont think its ever happened before and ill bet it would be an awesome match
