Pro Wrestling End of the Year Awards Official Results

Three months in the making, Sharp Shooter Press has worked diligently to scout the best of American Professional Wrestling throughout the year and it is now time to appreciate the best of wrestling in 2011.

2011 has been a very consistent year for Professional Wrestling. We saw wrestlers make a name for themselves, others were given their long overdue chance to shine, and others took leaps and bounds toward improving themselves to entertain their audiences. From small and upcoming promotions just getting their start to the pinnacle of sports entertainment, the WWE, we have seen and experienced many historic moments. As wrestling fans, and yes that is what we all are, it is only fair to express our gratitude and our thanks to the great men and women who have risked their bodies and lives in the squared circle.

On the eve of 2012, we at Sharp Shooter Press will run down our first ever End of the Year Awards. This idea is in its infantile stages and will grow as the website does. However, this year we have scouted what we feel was the most accurate results for the best of the best in Professional Wrestling. I would like to especially thank Steve Coleman, Shane Howard, Don Owens, "HeelRize," TJ Hawke, and all involved in assisting me in making this all possible. Agree or disagree, please leave some feedback. Also, remember to follow us on Twitter and like us on FaceBook. Without further ado, the awards for the premier cream of the crop in Professional Wrestling.

WWE PPV Preview: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs

The greatest PPV poster in WWE history.

 Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, welcome to the monthly WWE PPV Preview, which will run down the card for the last WWE pay per view of 2011, WWE: TLC. For the first time in in recent memory, John Cena is not advertised on the card, which really makes me intrigued to see how he will be involved in the event. We will be granted with seeing a Triple Threat TLC bout as well as the first ever intriguing Chairs Match. Hype for the event has not been terrible nor anything spectacular.

Some weeks have been more consistent than others, but we are all preparing for the down time on WWE television before the Royal Rumble begins preparations for WrestleMania. It looks like a pretty good match card on paper, but nothing mind blowing. We can expect to find Cena make his way to the event as well as some sort of continuation of Kane's reincarnation, but for now I will go down the announced match card and predict who I feel will win each bout. You are welcome to leave your thoughts on the comments section and please remember to follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook. 

WWE '12: The Review

THQ has released its annual depiction of WWE programming, except this year they have promised a "Bigger, Badder, and Better" gaming experience. Did THQ and WWE hit a home run here in their latest development of video gaming, or was it only a step backwards for the struggling franchise?

The pure hype and excitement for this game, alone proves just how dedicated the producers at THQ are in terms of making the best wrestling game humanly possibly, but unfortunately, this title merely did not meet the through the roof expectations that this gamer had heading into GameStop. While, WWE '12 is not necessarily a bad game, it is one that really doesn't feel all that different as a whole in comparison to its predecessors.

What WWE '12 does right and does the best is without a doubt the entire visual presentation of the game. Featuring slightly enhances graphics from last year on top of brand new camera angles and an improved crowd that is watching the Superstars in action, WWE '12 succeeds at actually making you feel as though you are a living, breathing entity in the WWE Universe. Presentation in this game is like no other in the past, as WWE does all the "little things" right such as introduction packages to PPV events, pyro, and even improved trons throughout the arena during a Superstars entrance. It is obvious THQ had listened to their fans and for that, we say thank you for the best visual presentation that the WWE has yet to see in their licensed, annual game

WWE PPV Preview: Survivor Series

WWE's "Fall Classic" returns once again as it is the 25th anniversary of the Survivor Series. Being one of the most renowned and prestigious pay per views in WWE history, we have see the likes of Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, to name a few, who have made history at this event, respectively.


However, as of the past several years, Survivor Series has truly been a mere shadow of what it had once been. Being one of the most disappointing events in recent years, WWE has formed the team of Rock and John Cena in order to provide a special attraction in the historic, Madison Square Garden. The show this year has been booked decently at best, and while it is a strong enough card on paper, there are many factors that will play a key role in making this show a success. I have once again gone down the list of matches that are advertised and given my predictions simply based on my insight of the product. Without further ado, this is my Survivor Series preview and I hope you enjoy and leave your comments of your predictions below! Also be sure to check out Walter Yeates' Women's of Wrestling Series as well as the newest exclusive interview with, Eddie Edwards.

The Best Match in Survivor Series History is: Team Orton vs. Team Kingston

It was a great match that had storyline, and great participants that made it the final factor in my choice. The teams were mostly even, as the up and coming mid-carder at the time, Kofi Kingston, was taking on one of the top main-eventers, Randy Orton.

It was a huge win for Kofi (or so it seemed), as he pinned CM Punk and Randy Orton, as they were the sole survivors for their team. Team Kingston was made up of Christian, MVP, R-Truth, and Mark Henry, and Team Orton was made up of CM Punk, William Regal, Cody Rhodes, and Ted DiBiase. Kofi was on the rise, getting on Orton's nerves like no one has done before.

It seemed this was Kofi's time, and the WWE proved that by giving him the huge win here. In the end, Kofi is still in the mid-card, but it was still a match with huge implications at the time. It not only surrounded this rivalry, but other ones like CM Punk and R-Truth.

WWE PPV Preview: Vengeance

Another PPV is on the way and I can honestly say once again, I don't care. Hell in a Cell, Bound for Glory, and Night of Champions have all been underwhelming pay per views and that is no ones fault but WWE's and TNA's. WWE especially has been awful as of late, with a lack of producing stars and a lack for clustering so many shows together. It's hard to believe WWE didn't learn how to book a PPV after Money in the Bank's phenomenal increase in buys this past year.

Anyways, Vengeance is being revived in WWE for no reason whatsoever....Oh well, it's better than Bragging Rights. Anyways, we are given another John Cena title match and a Big Show match in the main events. That alone makes me not care for this PPV event. Nonetheless, I will preview it and try my best to provide some insight into such a lacking and uninteresting pay per view.

WWE Predictability: Why I Am Bored After Every Show!

The WWE has been a roller coaster of a ride lately, from good shows, to bad shows. Great feuds were showcased, then all feuds turned bland.
This describes the WWE, after having a brilliant summer, to now a disappointment week after week. Now, I am beginning to grow bored with the current product, and for may reasons. If the WWE keeps it up, I will begin to question my devotion to something I've loved to watch for the last four years.
