The end of 2012 is drawing near and I have gone back and forth on how I should do an end of the year column. My original plan was to do a generic one where I pick my superstar/diva/tag team of the year and who I think was a breakout star and who was underutilized, but I decided against that. After reading Lords of Pains new column, "The King of Stats" I decided that maybe a whole statistic based awards would be fun to do, especially since I am very interested in statistics. I will not be including superstars and divas in the same rankings so each of these will have their own award. Here are the awards I have decided on:
Superstar/Diva of the year: This superstar/diva has the highest win percentage of all their matches.
Jobber of the year: This superstar/diva has the lowest win percentage.
Workaholic: This superstar/diva had the most matches during the year.
Couch Potato: This superstar/diva had the least number of matches during the year.
Tag Team of the Year: These two superstars have the best overall win percentage. (I will combine their win/loss records for the year.)
Jobber Tag Team of the Year: These two superstars have the worst overall win percentage.
For a superstar to qualify, they must have at least ten matches during the year. I made this rule so that someone like The Undertaker cannot win Superstar of the year since he would have won 100% of his matches since he only wrestled in one match. All these win/loss records are based off of televised events or WWE web shows (RAW, Smackdown, NXT, Superstars, Saturday Morning Slam, The Main Event, and Pay Per Views). I will also include a list of every superstar/diva that has not met the 10 match limit.
I will also be including all of the information on each of the titles. (How many times the title changed hands and who held the titles and what dates they held them during the year.)
For the tag team awards, I am using every tag team that has wrestled for WWE this year. Altogether, the two must both have had ten matches during the year to qualify. This includes all tag teams from Air Bourne that were still around in January to Team Hell No that is more recent.
I will also be doing a Pay Per View awards section. To be eligible for the PPV awards you must have at least three PPV matches. Here are the award ideas I have for this:
Main Eventer of the Year: This superstar appeared in the most PPV main events.
Curtain Jerker of the Year: This superstar appeared in the most opening matches of a PPV.
PPV Superstar/Diva of the Year: This superstar/diva has won the most matches at a PPV.
PPV Jobber of the Year: This superstar/diva has loss the most matches at a PPV.
Perfect Attendance: This superstar/diva has had a match during every PPV of the year.
A note on the Royal Rumble and battle royals: If the Royal Rumble is the main event not every superstar will get a point for being in the main event. I am only going to consider it in their rankings if they were in the final four combatants left in the ring. Also, concerning Royal Rumbles and battle royals, if a superstar/diva is eliminated it does not count as a loss, but the superstar who does win will get a win added to their record.
Now for the greater picture. I want to have a ranking for every year during the modern/PPV era of the WWE. I have already started working on the 1985 rankings, which is the year of the first Wrestlemania. These are hard to do because it is hard to find every televised event, so forgive me if I miss a few here or there, but by using www.historyofwwe.com it is working out pretty well. Until the WWE has all big four PPV's I will not be including the PPV awards during the earlier rankings because there is not enough data.
What are your comments and ideas on this. Are there awards that you think I should add?
