Honourable Mention: Daniel Bryan vs Chris Jericho - NXT 23/02/10
Great TV match between two of the most talented workers on the roster. Jericho was World Champ at the time, and he gave Bryan enough to put him on the map.
Runner Up: Daniel Bryan vs Dolph Ziggler - Bragging Rights 24/10/10
Exellent match, pitting the Intercontenental Champion vs the United States Champion. Two of the more talented young stars showcased on PPV. That's a rare occurance these days!
Winner: John Morrison vs Sheamus - Ladder Match - TLC 19/12/10
Great match to end the year. These two tore the house down! This may have been the finest work of both of their young careers. This is the match that has put Morrison in the main event.
Award #2: PPV Of The Year.
Honourable Mention: Wrestlemania 26 - 28/03/10
Highlighted by Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels II, it was a solid Wrestlemania from top to bottom. A personal highlights from the card were CM Punk vs Rey Mysterio, and seeing Bret Hart back on Wrestlemania.
Runner Up: WWE TLC - 19/12/10
Edge's 10th World Tittle win, and The Miz's first succesful PPV title defence headlined the show. It was the ladder match between John Morrison, and Sheamus that stole the show. I think it was the WWE's most solid PPV of the year.
Winner: TNA Hardcore Justice - 08/08/10
This ECW tribute show was nowhere near as good as WWE's One Night Stand PPV in 2005, but I still enjoyed it alot. It was the PPV I was most exited about this year, and it didn't leave me disapointed. It's too bad Jerry Lynn was too injured to compete in the originally scheduled main event against RVD. I really enjoyed seeing Raven vs Tommy Dreamer, and RVD vs Sabu was a fine substitute main event.
Honourable Mention: Alberto Del Rio - WWE
The former mexican lucha star debuted in a big way. His first program was with former World Champion Rey Mysterio. According to storylines, he has put Mysterio, and Christian on the shelf. He debubted with one of the best gimmicks given to a new star in a long time.
Runner Up: Tyler Black - ROH(now WWE)
Black really took off as the star of ROH. He had very strong feuds with Austin Aries, and Roderick Strong. Later in the year he signed a deal with the WWE, and finished the year in FCW. Hopefully soon he will be rising up the Raw/Smackdown roster.
Winner: Daniel Bryan - WWE
Bryan(the former Bryan Danielson) has been a star on the independent scene, and in ROH for years. Even still, there was plenty of sceptisism whether the WWE would use him in any kind of decent way. He's had good feuds with The Miz, and also with Michael Cole. He has had a nice run as United States Champion aswell.
Award #4: Wrestler Of The Year
Honourable Mention: Jeff Hardy - TNA
Made his re-debut with TNA earlier in the year. Later in the year made a shocking heal turn by aligning himself with the Imortal stable. He's held the TNA World Tittle for several months, and been feuding with RVD, Mr. Anderson, and Matt Morgan.
Runner Up: Sheamus - WWE
Came on the scene at the end of last year, and had an even bigger year this year! He lost at Wrestlemania to HHH, but soon after took him out for the rest of the year. Later he had his second World Tittle reign, feuding with John Cena, Randy Orton, etc. Late in the year he became the 2010 King Of The Ring. He's finished the year with a very strong feud with John Morrison.
Winner: The Miz - WWE
The Miz skyrocketed up to the company's top heal. He had a very big year, starting with a long reign as United States Champion, including a feud with Daniel Bryan. He won the Raw Money In The Bank match at that PPV, and cashed it in to beat a volnerable Randy Orton to win his first WWE Tittle. The Miz is WWE's hottest comodity heading into the WWE's hotest season!
