The Best of Pro Wrestling Awards 2013 WWE

I had a few requests on Twitter to do my own end of year awards for Pro-Wrestling, since we have just had the Slammys.

These awards are for WWE only, if I get chance I will do awards for TNA and NXT as well.

These are only my opinion, no votes have taken place, if you disagree feel free to post a comment or Tweet me and say why.

WWE

Best Wrestler:
I think everyone will agree that the stand out performer for WWE this year was Daniel Bryan, he never lost his motivation, never lost his hunger, and despite being screwed over time after time, he never gave up, and the crowd responses he still commands prove that. 2013 was a break out year for Daniel Bryan, the year that truly took him to the top of the card. Only Vince knows what will happen for Bryan in 2014, but I for one hope he doesn't give up, and eventually he gets his rewards

Runners-Up: CM Punk, Goldust, The Usos

Best Female Wrestler
For me this was an easy one, Natalya is consistently the most credible Diva in the whole of WWE, she always has good matches, and you always believe in her. I like AJ Lee, but she doesn't seem credible to me, this is not a knock on her cause she is smaller, but there is a difference between someone small like Daniel Bryan being able to beat The Big Show, and someone like AJ who is literally built like a teenage girl beating a powerhouse like Kaitlyn. I hope 2014 is Natties year as she truly deserves it!

Runners-Up: Kaitlyn, AJ Lee, The Bellas

Match of the Year.
This was a tough one, but for me it had to be Daniel Bryan vs John Cena at Summerslam. Right up until they completely ruined it by having Randy Orton cash in his MitB contract. It was a great match and Bryan carried John Cena to a whole new height. Bryan has consistently brought out the best in whoever he wrestles and that is what gives him credibility as a champion. Unfortunately Vince had to spoil what would have been the most satisfying win in over a decade for someone who truly deserved it by having Orton take the title, I have no problem with the MitB concept for this was a mistake, they should have let Bryan have his moment, and have Orton cash in later.

Runners-Up: CM Punk vs Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, Undertaker vs CM Punk at WrestleMania

Missed Opportunity.
This was simple, it was having Super Cena on one leg and one arm, after getting beaten down, then beat Damien Sandow, it was a ridiculous decision that totally buried Damien Sandow. The match they had when Sandow cashed in the MitB contract was a great match, probably the best of Sandows career so far, but to have Cena win was so ridiculous under the circumstances, it completely destroyed Sandow as a performer and legitimate challenger to the top titles.

Cena should have done the job to Sandow, Sandow could have had a month or two with the belt and then Cena can win it back if he has to, but by losing Sandow is now lost in shuffle with everyone else, and the whole push he had as MitB contract winner was completely pointless.

Runners-Up: Natalya not winning Divas championship at TLC, Kane not getting revenge on The Wyatts

Breakout Star.
Everyone expected Dean Ambrose to be the big breakout star this year, Seth Rollins also, but the true break out star of the year was Roman Reigns, he has the look, the power, the heritage. He has it all to be a big name player for WWE for the next decade. He could be the next Rock if he continues to develop.

Runners-Up: Fandango, Big E Langston, Dean Ambrose

Best Manager/Valet/Associate.
Not a huge amount of choice in this category, but I wanted it here as Paul Heyman needs to win an award here! In general everything he touches turns to gold, although I think he could have done better with Ryback, he did take Curtis Axel and help make him a credible star.

When Paul Heyman speaks, everyone listens, and we are all looking forward to his return with Brock Lesnar!

Runners-Up: Ricardo Rodriguez, Summer Rae, David Otunga

Best authority figure
I always like Vicky Guerrero, there is no other authority figure that can generate heel heat like her, she is funny, entertaining, powerful and so much more. She plays her character perfectly!

Runners-Up: Triple H, Brad Maddox, Teddy Long, Kane
