G-Prime Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 I'm bumping the close date back a week, to let everyone get their choices in. New deadline: December 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Part ye IIIrd [B]Best Match Write-Ups[/B] I struggled with choosing this one, but I think that it has to go to [URL="http://67.19.230.90/~arles/forum/showthread.php?t=21524"]J Silver[/URL] (I'm beginning to look like I'm sucking up to him, I think). His writeups hit the high points, tell the story, and his was the first diary I read to feature the ref's count as a dramatic device (although it was probably pretty commonplace...). Everything I could ask for, although this was the hardest one to choose as there's so many different styles that work well. [B]Match of the Year[/B] NoNeck's [URL="http://67.19.230.90/~arles/forum/showpost.php?p=523226&postcount=344"]McFly vs. Keith - Supreme Challenge[/URL] [B]Best Gimmick Match[/B] I don't think I read any diaries that had a particular gimmick match in them that stood out - a good reason to get cracking on more diaries, I guess :D [B]Best Utilized Roster[/B] [URL="http://67.19.230.90/~arles/forum/showthread.php?t=33709&highlight=shipshirt"]Shipshirt's CWB[/URL] didn't have the most talented roster (Jesse Christian? Ash Campell? Duberry Excess?) but he made them all seem like stars. Well, except Duberry Excess, but what can you do? [B]Best New Writer[/B] McShamrock - PSW: DaVE's not here Again, if this isn't Monkeypox in diguise, then he deserves all the plaudits for capturing pox's unique DaVEness without it being a total carbon copy. [B]Manager of the Year[/B] [URL="http://67.19.230.90/~arles/forum/showthread.php?t=33304"]Carl Batch - Puerto Rican Self Preservation Society[/URL] From the Latino Kings to the Wave of Violence, he's been the underappreciated hub that FCW revolves arond. And his justification for switching from one to the other made sense as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Stranger Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 [QUOTE=James Casey;536783] [B]Best Gimmick Match[/B] I don't think I read any diaries that had a particular gimmick match in them that stood out - a good reason to get cracking on more diaries, I guess :D [/QUOTE] I find myself wishing there was a 'Worst Gimmick match' section - between the Hell in a Cardboard Cell, the B&Q Cage Match, and the upcoming Four Corners of Funk match Destined to Fail would sweep the board.

Astil Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Cardcoard Hell in a Cell from [URL="http://67.19.230.90/~arles/forum/showthread.php?t=34887"]Destined to Fail[/URL] gets my nomination for best gimmick match. Although an other I would suggest would be NoNeck's "unsanctioned match" between Jack and Valiant. It's in Match of the Year and not Gimmick Match of the Year. Huh? As well as ECW's Baptism by Fire Match. Was that this year? I think so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Gimmick match is for a new match concept, not just any gimmick match, that's why the unsanctioned match was in Match of the Year, because that gimmick's been done. Baptism of Fire was last year, I think it even won the award (Although Monkeypox's Warehouse Match might have beaten it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FINisher Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I've done my picks.. Just can't choose the rest I'm afraid. :) I just started reading diaries this summer so I really don't have the knowledge of few of the famous diaries here, most of which have been nominated in this thread. A little bump so that everyone understands that it's the deadline today, just closing in.. For those of you who haven't voted already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 *Nominations are CLOSED* I will get the voting thread posted in the next week, when the mood strikes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevermore Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Prime, could I please have some time to get in my nominations? I've been far too busy previously. I will do so within the next couple of hours if it's cool. Quote The Raven Nevermore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Yeah, I'll make this one exception (it's not a precedent people, become a diary god, and you'll get exceptions made for you too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyde Hill Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 [QUOTE]Hyde Hill's - TCW To The Brink And Beyond (the whole behind the scene wrestling intro to this one. really got me hooked on a diary that had some great Ideas and ended way to soon!)[/QUOTE] Thanks for the nomination Mistaken think ill restart it soon but with probably shorter match write ups. Prolly infinitywipy style except ppvs till i get to present time in game. But with a bit more attention to angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
