I bring to you, the first ever Fight Game Blog Awards. Since our website is unique in that we cover boxing, pro wrestling, and MMA, we have three different categories for awards.
In addition to our FGB brothers, Stevie J from Angry Marks is also giving his picks.
Pro Wrestling
Wrestler Of The Year
Big D – Edge
Alan – Shingo Takagi
Was given the ball in Dragon Gate due to top star CIMA being on the sidelines, and the company had it’s best business year ever. He was also outstanding in the ring and is full of charisma.
Duan – Jeff Hardy
This may not be a popular choice, but Jeff has really delivered main event quality matches this year, and he has now finally been given the chance to carry a world title. His ascension has helped freshen up a tired WWE main event scene, and the title change was executed perfectly.

Stevie J – Chris Jericho
GG – Chris Jericho
I might’ve given up on WWE this summer if it weren’t for Chris Jericho. He and Shawn Michaels were the sole reason I bought any B shows this year.
Match Of The Year
Big D – Undertaker vs. Edge in Hell in a Cell
Alan – Kenta Kobashi, KENTA, Akihiko Ito, & Atsushi Aoki vs. Kensuke Sasaki, Katsuhiko Nakajima, Kento Miyahara, & Takashi Okita
Stevie J – Undertaker v. Edge at Wrestlemania 24
They went on last and they literally brought the house down. I was so tired and warn out from the long day at that point I thought I was going to crash, but they got my attention in a big way and brought me right back up to my feet. For the second straight year in a row, Undertaker stole the show at ‘Mania and made it his own.
GG – Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels Ladder Match
