[AWARDS] Presenting the 2008 REC.SPORT.PRO-WRESTLING YEAR-END AWARDS! [00/48]
rs...@thezims.com
For those of you just tuning in, these are the rec.sport.pro-wrestling.*
Year-End Achievement Awards. They celebrate the excellence, as well as
the....opposite thereof, of the past year in professional wrestling.
The Awards are decided by the readers of r.s.p-w, voting for a 1st, 2nd,
and 3rd place in nearly fifty categories. This is our astonishing
NINETEENTH year of Awards!
Participation was down a little bit more from last year, with 28 ballots
cast - and 27 counted after I figured out that one joker sent in two
ballots. As I usually weasel out of taking responsibility for trying
to jack up participation given the deadness of Usenet in general, I will
say that I hope that the QUALITY of the response makes up for the lower
quantity. As is always the case, I think we have some surprises in the
results, but pleasantly so. If you disagree - hell, you should have voted!
Thanks to everyone on r.s.p-w who participated, readers and lurkers alike!
The following pages provided invaluable assistance with research.

The Wrestling Supercards & Tournaments Web Page is THE place to get
dates and results of every major card of the past year - and earlier
<http://rspw.org/>
For better of worse, THE website of r.s.p-w.* - basically I threw a
bunch of links on a page but it's the quickest way to access full
versions of ALL nineteen years of awards!

Wikipedia has quickly become a great resource for looking up all sorts
of obscure minutiae, and pro wrestling is no exception!

It's Google. Nuff said.

Without further ado, cue the complaints about spam by the usual idiot,
because HEEEEEEEEEEEERE WE GO!!!!
