The Brandon Award:
WrestleMania 22
C'mon, it's WrestleMania.
The Bullet Award:
Royal Rumble
Because my prophecy began to come true that day.
The Mark Award:
ECW: One Night Stand II
Overall, I think this particular PPV had more of an unpredictable feel compared to the rest of the year. Combine this with a few very solid matches and it's my pick for PPV of the year.
The Matty Award:
WrestleMania 22
Uhh...it's WrestleMania.
The Ricky Award:
WrestleMania 22
Wrestlemania is often the most memorable card of the year regardless of whether that card is any good. At Wrestlemania this year they had Mick Foley surprisingly deliver his "Wrestlemania moment" some six years after retiring. At Wrestlemania he sacrificed his body for the career of Edge. ..funny, Hardy scarificed his career for the same thing.
Lets move on. The rest of the wrestlemania card held up in places. Shawn Michaels did a broomstick carry job on Vince McMahon dragging him up to probably his best singles match ever without Vince ever doing anything. John Cena retained his WWE title in an entertaining bout against Triple H. The real big, non pun intended, story from Wrestlemania however was Rey Mysterio being given the World title over on Smackdown. Beating Randy Orton and Kurt Angle in a rushed and spot heavy triple threat match Rey became the smallest man in the history of the WWE to hold a world title. All in all it was an interesting , memorable and entertaining Mania and deserves PPV of the year.
