[Dragon Saga]

Nope, I just don't think his work is credited enough. I think third behind Adam Page, who has been consistently good all year, whose promos have been convincing and coherent and Matt Sydal who I don't think needs anyone to vouch for him, is fitting. He's one of the most underrated heels around, he knows how to draw heat properly and is often forgotten by people when discussing good bad guys, I feel, simply because of how long hes been around for.

To each their own as the sun drops.

5. BEST BOX OFFICE DRAW -

1. Brock Lesnar - WWE
2. Ronda Rousey - UFC
3. Conor McGregor - UFC

This shouldn't be a voting category

[Dragon Saga]

Nope, I just don't think his work is credited enough. I think third behind Adam Page, who has been consistently good all year, whose promos have been convincing and coherent and Matt Sydal who I don't think needs anyone to vouch for him, is fitting. He's one of the most underrated heels around, he knows how to draw heat properly and is often forgotten by people when discussing good bad guys, I feel, simply because of how long hes been around for.

I guess my point being is that Dave really needs to rename the categories "Most Over Pushed" and "Most Under Utilized" because that's what they actually mean.

Agreed on that one. A lot of the award titles are sort of vague.
