Live Audio Wrestling - End of Year Awards

End of Year Awards

Awards are given over the course of two episodes: the Best of episode, typically the last episode of the year under consideration or the first episode of the following year, and the Worst of episode, awarded the first week without a pay-per-view event after the Best of episode. Each host of the show nominates a pick in each category, and may also name ties and "honourable mentions" in each category.

Unofficial picks are also given by Wai Ting and Nate Milton in the LAW's associated podcasts (Review-a-Raw, Review-a-Wai, and Review-an-Impact). Picks from these restricted in scope to the wrestling, but are otherwise identical in scope.

Famous quotes containing the word year:

“The liberal wing of the feminist movement may have improved the lives of its middle- and upper-class constituency—indeed, 1992 was the Year of the White Middle Class Woman—but since the leadership of this faction of the feminist movement has singled out black men as the meta-enemy of women, these women represent one of the most serious threats to black male well-being since the Klan.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
