Hier die Erklaerungen zu den Kategorien

1. LOU THESZ/RIC FLAIR AWARD - This is open to pro wrestlers, for a combination of everything, being both important and influential this year in a positive manner from a business perspective, combining both box office impact as well as strong match quality in worked matches. Last year's top three were A.J. [lexicon]Styles[/lexicon], Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kazuchika Okada.

2. MMA MOST VALUABLE FIGHTER: This is also for a combination of fighting inside the ring and importance outside in a positive manner from a business perspective as well. Last year’s top three were Ronda Rousey, Conor McGregor and Daniel Cormier.

3. MOST OUTSTANDING WRESTLER: This is based on working ability in the ring only. Simply, the best workers in the world on a consistent basis over the past year. Drawing power, charisma and push shouldn't be considered. Last year's top three were A.J. [lexicon]Styles[/lexicon], Shinsuke Nakamura and Hiroshi Tanahashi.

4. MOST OUTSTANDING FIGHTER: This should be based on in-ring ability and wins against the top level of competition during the calendar year. Last year's top three were Conor McGregor, Robbie Lawler and Holly Holm.

5. BEST BOX OFFICE DRAW - Based on drawing big houses (or for that matter selling tickets to small houses as the case may be), buy rates and/or television ratings. Ring work shouldn't even be considered. Last year's top three were Ronda Rousey, Conor McGregor and [lexicon]Brock Lesnar[/lexicon].

6. FEUD OF THE YEAR - This should be based on a combination of having a compelling storyline along with having great matches that should strengthen the box office. Last year's top three were Conor McGregor vs. Jose Aldo, [lexicon]Bayley[/lexicon] vs. [lexicon]Sasha Banks[/lexicon] and [lexicon]John Cena[/lexicon] vs. [lexicon]Kevin Owens[/lexicon].

7. TAG TEAM OF THE YEAR - For the best working and most valuable tag team during the previous year. Last year's top three were The Young Bucks, Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly and New Day.

8. MOST IMPROVED - This is based on making the biggest strides in ring work during the previous year. This should not be for someone who was already good, but was given a bigger push. Last year's top three were [lexicon]Bayley[/lexicon], Moose and [lexicon]Sasha Banks[/lexicon].

9. BEST ON INTERVIEWS - Who has given the best interviews on a consistent basis over the past year? Reputation from previous years shouldn't be taken into consideration. It should be based on work over the course of the year as opposed to one or two memorable interviews. Last year's top three were Conor McGregor, Paul Heyman and [lexicon]Kevin Owens[/lexicon].

10. MOST CHARISMATIC - What person had to do the least to get the most out of it? Who do crowds naturally react to emotionally even before the person does anything? Last year's top three were Shinsuke Nakamura, Conor McGregor and Hiroshi Tanahashi.

11. BEST TECHNICAL WRESTLER - This is for having the ability to use high level technical wrestling moves within the context of building a great worked pro wrestling match. Last year's top three were Zack Sabre Jr., Kyle O’Reilly and Timothy Thatcher.

12. BRUISER BRODY MEMORIAL AWARD - This is for the wrestler who uses brawling tactics to put together the best matches during the previous year. It's not for a guy who does brawling matches that aren't any good. Last year's top three were Tomohiro Ishii, Katsuyori Shibata and [lexicon]Kevin Owens[/lexicon].

13. BEST FLYING WRESTLER - This is for the wrestler who does the most innovative and solidly executed flying maneuvers within the context of putting together great wrestling matches. This is not for simply the hottest daredevil moves, which are sometimes hit and sometimes miss. Last year's top three were Ricochet, Kota Ibushi and Will Ospreay.

14. MOST OVERRATED - The wrestler who gets the biggest push, despite lacking ring ability or charisma. Last year's top three were [lexicon]Kane[/lexicon], [lexicon]Roman Reigns[/lexicon] and [lexicon]Sheamus[/lexicon].

15. MOST UNDERRATED - The wrestler with the most ability, who, for whatever reason, doesn't get a push commensurate with their ability. This should be based on this past year, and not a business reputation earned in prior years. Last year's top three were [lexicon]Cesaro[/lexicon], [lexicon]Neville[/lexicon] and [lexicon]Luke Harper[/lexicon].

16. PROMOTION OF THE YEAR - Should be based on which group put together the best live and television product on a consistent basis, and secondarily, the ability to sell that product at a high level. This means box office and marketing combined with product quality. Theoretically, the top pick should be a company at or near the top on both categories. Last year's top three were New Japan Pro Wrestling, UFC and Ring of Honor.

17. BEST WEEKLY TV SHOW - Weekly television shows are the only ones eligible, not monthly shows, specials or individual episodes of a specific program. This is for the best consistent program. The shows have to be produced with the idea they are a weekly ongoing show and not a short-term mini-series. In other words, the Friday, Monday and Tuesday CMLL shows count as three different shows and are all eligible. Ultimate Fighter or Lucha Underground, even though they didn’t run 52 weeks, are eligible. Talking Smack is also eligible as would be WWE pre-game shows for Raw and Smackdown, but not for PPVs. Something like G-1 Climax or Cruiserweight Classic are not eligible because they were not scheduled to be year-around continuing long-term shows. Last year's top three were WWE NXT, Lucha Underground and New Japan World Pro Wrestling.

18. PRO WRESTLING MATCH OF THE YEAR - Pick the three best matches, in order, from the time period. Remember, matches from last December are eligible, but nothing after November 30th from this year is eligible. Please list both the date and location of the match, because some matches were held many times during the year. Last year's top three were Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kota Ibushi on January 4 at the Tokyo Dome; Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Shinsuke Nakamura on August 16 at Tokyo Sumo Hall; and [lexicon]Bayley[/lexicon] vs. [lexicon]Sasha Banks[/lexicon] on August 22 in Brooklyn.

19. MMA MATCH OF THE YEAR - Pick the three best matches, in order, from the time period listed. Again, please list both the date and location of the match. Last year's top three were Robbie Lawler vs. Rory MacDonald on July 11 in Las Vegas; Andrei Arlovski vs. Travis Browne on May 23 in Las Vega; and Daniel Cormier vs. Alexander Gustafsson on October 3 in Houston.

20. ROOKIE OF THE YEAR - This is based on ring performance, not how someone is pushed or necessarily even long-term star potential. By the standards of the category, a rookie is someone who hasn't had a regular job with a full-time wrestling company before September 1, 2015. Top contenders for this award are Arisu, Shayna Baszler, Daria Berenato, Rachel Ellering, Kohei Fujimura, Chihiro Hashimoto, Takumi Honjo, Teruaki Kanemitsu, Hirai Kawato, Takuya Nomura, Tomoyuki Oka, Matt Riddle, Lio Rush, Nobuhiro Shimatani, Mizuki Watase and Fred Yehi. Last year's top three were Chad Gable, Jay White and Dana Brooke.

21. BEST NON-WRESTLER PERFORMER - For the best performer on a television show who isn't a traditional wrestler, whether they be a management figure, a woman who doesn't wrestle, or a traditional manager. Last year's top three were Dario Cueto, Paul Heyman and [lexicon]Xavier Woods[/lexicon].

22. BEST TELEVISION ANNOUNCER - Last year's top three were Mauro Ranallo, Corey Graves and Shimpei Nogami.

23. WORST TELEVISION ANNOUNCER - Last year's top three were John Layfield, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler.

24. BEST MAJOR SHOW - This should be a major show, as opposed to a TV taping or house show, although TV specials like Saturday Night's Main Event or Ultimate Fight Night are eligible. Last year's top three were New Japan Wrestle Kingdom on January 4 at the Tokyo Dome; UFC 189 on July 11 in Las Vegas and WWE WrestleMania on March 29 in Santa Clara, CA.
