Greetings everyone! I am The Nemesis and welcome to the 2009 Golden Chaos Awards!

*trumpets sound and confetti falls from the ceiling*

2009 has been a year of... okay it's been kind of lame hasn't it?

Mostly due to repetitive storylines... Anyway, Lets not dawdle and get straight into it!

Best Rookie

The Nominations are:

Sheamus

Desmond Wolfe

Hart Dynasty

Dolph Ziggler

And the Winner is...

Sheamus

He came onto the scene not long ago, June 30th to be exact. Now, just 6 months later, he is WWE Champion. There has to be something about his character or charisma that has gotten him to the top so quickly.

He has been a part of the company for a long time but it has only been just recently that he has been able to step up to the big leagues and become a contender.

I will say that Sheamus has presented himself well. I still believe that he should've waited to become champion though.

Biggest Shock to Leave Company

Umaga

Mr. Kennedy

Shane McMahon

Ron Simmons

And the Winner is...

Mr. Kennedy

It was one of the worst decisions i've ever heard of for WWE to release Mr. Kennedy.

They said that he injured his hand again, but we all know it Orton being a baby. "You landed wrong! I could've broken my neck!" (censored) me Orton.

Mr. Kennedy had several injuries as a top competitor and they called him a "liability". How can you be in the business of professional wrestling and NOT be a liability every time you step into the ring?

Every move that they do can be a potential injury. We know that they train, we know that they practice everything day in day out... but its still dangerous.

Worst Mistake

The Nominations are:

WWE PPV Changes

Orton's Violence Disability Promos

Chavo Jobbing to Hornswoggle

Entire Summerslam PPV

And the Winner is...

Orton's Violence Disability Promos

This was an incredible FAIL for the WWE.

Because when Orton was bashing the (censored) out of Triple H and Shane McMahon, he was let off because of whatever he had, but why didn't they do anything about Rhodes and DiBiase who were doing EXACTLY THE SAME THING?

I know that it made Randy the highest heel in the WWE, but why didn't they just stick with the storyline that Randy is evil? That would've made slightly more sense!

Best Decision

The Nominations are:

Styles TNA World Champion

Morrison IC Champion

Sheamus WWE Champion

Punk's heel turn

And the Winner is...

Punk's Heel Turn

I originally didn't think that this was going to be a good idea, but then I looked to the future. When Edge comes back as a possible face against Jericho, Punk is the only other "top" heel on Smackdown. By the way, I say top heel except Punk isn't really at the top anymore, but he can still be a main eventer if Vince would let him.

Punk to be a heel was a brilliant transition. It was fluent and made us all hate him at the start for doing one thing that is just normal in the WWE. Cashing in the Money in the Bank briefcase.

We hated Punk for who he was. A straight edge star that tried to shove his words down everyone's throat. Well done CM Punk.

Worst Moment of the Year

The Nominations are:

WWE Releases

Christy Hemme breaks her neck in training

Taker landing on his head at WM

Edge gets injured

And the Winner is...

Edge gets injured

This one moment probably changed the entire course of 2009 for the WWE.

Arguably the most popular heel in entertainment, Edge's injury set back months of planning shead for the tag team title reign with Edge and Chris Jericho. Now that Jericho is continuing on with Big Show and saying that his former partner was a weak link in their team, Edge might return the one thing he hasn't been in over 5 years. Face.

Anyone who has the WWE DVD Global Warning Tour of 2002 would know that on the card for that match was Chris Jericho vs. Edge. Jericho having lost to a rookie by the name of John Cena at the previous PPV. Edge coming off a huge hype with the crowd solidly behind him after his battles with Christian over 2001. The Edgeheads in the crowd were going mad and rightly so. The day Edge turned heel was the moment that everything in his life (and other lives) would change dramatically. I think that Edge returning whatever he returns as (Face or Heel) would be a brilliant comeback and a moment of 2010.

Most Shocking Moment of 2009

The Nominations are:

HHH invading Orton's House

RVD Enters the Royal Rumble at #25

Sheamus wins the WWE Championship

Shawn Michaels kicking out of Undertaker's Tombstone

And the Winner is...

RVD enters the Royal Rumble at #25

This is the most shocking moment because NO ONE SAW IT COMING!

When his music hit, everyone jumps out of their seats and screams their lungs out. Why? Because no one had seen Rob Van Dam on WWE TV in over a year. It was a huge shock and a moment that I, as a fan, won't forget anytime soon.

Rob left the WWE to help his wife go through her cancer battle. I really do hope that he does return to wrestling soon. The reception would be spectacular.

Vanilla Coke is a proud sponsor of the Chaos Awards.

The Nemesis: I'd like to thank everyone associated with Vanilla Coke for helping me get through each day. I don't know what I'd do without my 17 litres a day.

Vanilla Coke. He drinks it. Why don't you?

Worst Rivalry

The Nominations are:

Vickie Guerrero vs. Santina Marella

Chavo Guererro vs. Hornswoggle

Kane vs. Mike Knox

The Great Khali vs. Kane

And the Winner is...

Vickie Guerrero vs. Santina Marella

Putting Vickie Guerrero in the ring is the same as telling the Big Show that he can win Miss Teen USA. It's not good on all levels... including Big Show in a Mankini. *shudders*

Honestly, this was terrible as a match, terrible as a rivalry and terrible everything else. It was a stupid idea to do. I'm glad it didn't last very long...

"EXCUSE ME!"

Wha...

"EXCUSE ME!"

Oh for (censored) sake..."I SAID EXCUSE ME!"

FINE YOU'RE (censored) EXCUSED! NOW (censored) OFF!

Vickie was a great GM because she was the person everyone would've paid big big money to watch her get beaten into next month. She had the ability to make you hate her with two words. "EXC-" Say it again and i'm tearing your lips off...

...

Much better.

Santino's gimmick was comedic to start with... but I spent the rest of this year wondering if Santino was going to have a decent match. I'm starting to doubt if Santino will ever be respected again.

He was a great wrestler. Winning the Intercontinental championship twice, once with Lashley's help. But now he is the comedic relief. Why? I thought that was, and still is, Hornswoggle and DX. Where is the wrestling on a wrestling program?

Rivalry of the Year

The Nominations are:

Randy Orton vs. Triple H

John Cena vs. Randy Orton

Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio

Edge vs. Jeff Hardy

And the Winner is...

Randy Orton vs. Triple H

This is the rivalry because of what lead up to them having to face off at Wrestlemania.

Randy won the rumble. Fought Shane. RKO'd Stephanie which lead to WWE finally revealing that Triple H is Stephanie's husband (even though we already knew it). It made Triple H want to kill Randy.

The matches weren't that spectacular, I admit... but at least this was the rivalry that we talked about. Because from this it spanned into DX vs. Legacy and also to Orton vs. Cena.

I did enjoy this rivalry. Much better than others.

Worst Match of the Year

The Nominations are:

Christian vs. William Regal - Summerslam

Jillian vs. Mickie James - Raw

Abyss vs. Mick Foley - Bound For Glory

Sharmell vs. Jenna - Victory Road

And the Winner is...

Jillian vs. Mickie James - Raw

Sorry. You all know why this has won the Worst Match Award. Jillian Hall is a Manager. She always has been and always will be. Just because she has a lot of *cough* talent *cough* at not singing properly, doesn't mean that she can instantly be given a championship, even if it was for a hand ful of minutes.

Everyone knows why this match sucked. Even if Melina beat Jillian for the title moments later, it still cannot be sugar coated.

Worst Performer of the Year

The Nominations are:

Jack Swagger

Vladimir Kozlov

Tyler Reks

Abraham Washington

And the Winner is...

The Villiage Idiot. I mean... Abraham Washington

There is no one worse than Washington.

Swagger has had a bad year. But at least he CAN perform well in the ring at times.

Kozlov can't speak english, but he has a storyline and a gimmick.

Tyler Reks. At least... umm... he has a gimmick! A bad one, but its a gimmick!

Washington... doesn't have a gimmick, only hosts a "talk show" that absolutely NO ONE likes, has never been in the ring and I don't think he's ever been in any physical altercations. Send him to Raw for one week and get HBK to kick his jaw off his face.

Match of the Year

The Nominations are:

Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels - Wrestlemania 25

John Cena vs. Randy Orton - Bragging Rights

John Morrison vs. Rey Mysterio - Smackdown

AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle - TNA Impact

And the Winner is...

John Morrison vs. Rey Mysterio - Smackdown

I know what you all must be thinking, why not Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels? Two reasons.

One. We know that Undertaker and Shawn can go at it at Wrestlemania. It is their event. Smackdown was just another show that had almost the same card and yet we produce a match almost equally as good.

Two. This match was never supposed to happen. It was thrown together last minute because Mysterio was getting suspended. The match was brilliant. It is the most talked about match of Smackdown of 2009 and probably the most non-PPV talked about match of 2009.

It is match of the year because we got a PPV quality match with two very popular superstars on a regular weekly TV show. If that had happened at a PPV, it would've been given more praise than what it already had.

and finally...

Performer of the Year

The Nominations are:

Randy Orton

Chris Jericho

John Cena

AJ Styles

And the Winner is...

AJ Styles

How can you not like this guys in-ring skills?

He's the candidate for the almost perfect wrestler. But the best thing about him, he's in TNA.

I wonder how much the WWE is (censored) themselves knowing that he they only gave him one chance? Probably a lot. AJ Styles is one of the most talented people i've ever seen in the ring. He just knows what to do at that point of a match. He can make the match go from a 3 star match to a 4.5 star match in one single move.

If you want a reason to watch TNA. Styles is that reason. With him, it doesn't matter about the bad interviews or backstage segments. It's just the good wrestling.

Here's how the Top Ten finished

1. AJ Styles – 225pts

2. John Cena – 173pts

3. Triple H – 162pts

4. Chris Jericho – 153pts

5. John Morrison – 152pts

6. Undertaker – 146pts

7. Shawn Michaels – 132pts

8. Randy Orton – 129pts

9. The Miz – 110pts

10. Batista – 109pts

Well Ladies and Gentleman. I thank you for tuning in over the past year. It has been a wonderful year of thrills and surprises. I hope you can all tune into the Chaos Awards next week where we will start a whole new year!

You're right, AJ Styles is TNA! One of the biggest reasons to watch TNA is to wait for Style's actions in the ring.

I can`t believe that Cena is second. He only does 5 moves per week, THE SAME 5 MOVES. Rarely 6-7. How is that a next guy to performer of the year?

When you said Punk turning heel, and said that he was the only top heel apart from Jericho, you forgot Batista :)

Which BTW was another good 'turn' IMO

Posted by The Destructornator on Thursday, January 07, 2010
Comment #9

The reason why CM Punk was demoted from the top, was due to him refusing to tow the company line. In particular there was an incident where he was told to wear a suit - to project the correct company image - whenever he was not competing. CM Punk said no, and pointed out that Cena was not expected to wear a suit. The WWE's position (i.e Vince's) was that this was punishable.

Oh, and I doubt that until recently WWE had any idea how AJ was doing. Vince has no idea of any company outside his own, and never saw a WCW match (until he bought the company) and has no interest in TNA. You can bet that if AJ ever did transfer to WWE that he would be sent to FCW to learn "The WWE way" just like everyone else. He would probably also suffer a series of embaressing defeats just to prove that success in a nother company does not qualify you for success in WWE.

Gotta agree, Batista's heel turn was brilliant, the way his anger got in the way of a friendship.

aj is lucky edge is suspened.Edge would of won that and i think john morrison should go to TNA hes a brilliant superstar with lots of potencial.But wwe are doing nothing with him he should win a better championship than IC like go back to ecw and win that come on wwe

Comment #12

@ jonny nowhere

AJ Styles tried out for the WWE only once in around 2001-2002. I believe he had a dark match on Smackdown against spike dudley or maybe someone of that stature. The match didn't go well and Vince told him not to come again.

And Everyone, the only reason that I didn't choose Batista's Heel turn was because we've already seen Batista as a Heel before. I've only ever seen Punk as a "Heel" when he was a part of the "New Breed" on ECW. and that didn't last long.
I do admit that Batista's heel turn was brilliant and I should've put it in the nominations too

Comment #13

Desmond Wolfe is far better than Sheamus ... Sheamus only won the title by chance ... cos it is easier to push a wrestler in a table than beating a guy like Angle.

Im sorry to see all this bias against TNA in this article ... if you wanted to be fair you would take half and half of the options from both companies (even the bad matches etc)

so disappointed!!

Posted by WHAT?!? on Friday, January 08, 2010
Comment #14

@ WHAT?!

Would you like me to have been more biased and actually put in the really terrible performers of TNA apart from the WWE?
And Desmond has been in "mainstream" tv wrestling for a matter of months and STARTED at the top.
I took into account where they started, where they are now and how they have exerted themselves by the getting to that point.
I'm glad that you can give me feedback, but I can also disagree with you. :P
And the major factor with the bias AGAINST TNA, is because I only started watching TNA after Summerslam became so (censored) that I decided to see what all the fuss was about. Hence why most of my "bad" stuff doesn't have TNA in it.

Comment #15

Are you *censored* crazy? That *censored* Vanilla Coke must have gotten into your brain! The best match of the year was HBK vs Taker at WM 26 and Swagger wasn't a bad performer at all. You should *censored* replace Vanilla Coke with some *censored* garlic bread

Posted by RockyVlad on Friday, January 08, 2010
Comment #16

yeah, I knew that he had a try out and I agree that they should feel bad at passing him up. But I don't believe that they do. Its not the WWE way. If someone had a try out and they didn't like them, then I think that person goes totally off the radar. Plus, can you imagine what would have happened to AJ, if he had got picked up? Jobber to the stars is what he would have ended up as. Does anyone else here fear for Bryan Danielson? Another star with a massive indy following, who has a dazzling array of moves and who has shown ability on the stick, and is one of the best at telling a story through a match. He is going to get destroyed by the likes of Trippers...

I'm a fan of Mr.Kennedy, but he go injuried all the time and sometimes injuried others, and thats not going to help the company.

Comment #18

@ jonny nowhere

Oh. Okay now I see the point you are trying to make and I whole-heartedly agree.
I do fear for Bryan. Desmond went to TNA after the WWE "Umm"-ed and "Ahh"-ed about whether to sign him and TNA went "(censored) it we'll take you! We can use you with Angle!"
jonny, my fear is also of an indy guy called Jack Evans. The guy makes Evan Bourne look like a lousy piece of crap. His SIGNATURE MOVES (not his finishers)... is a few variations of 450 Splashes. Standard, Imploding, Corkscrew, Springboard and also a "Shining Ninja" (Evans steps onto a kneeling opponent's knee, floats over onto their shoulders and then hits a reverse frankensteiner). How the hell are they SIGNATURE MOVES?!
You may ask, what are his finishers?
-630Â° senton, sometimes while performing a corkscrew or while springboarding
-Ode to Blitzkrieg (Standing corkscrew shooting star press followed by a standing corkscrew senton)
-Stuntin' 101 (Springboard double rotation corkscrew moonsault, sometimes to an opponent outside the ring)

How can that guy be utilised properly in WWE?

Great spot in match of the year. Everyone goes on about PPV matches and forgets about matches on normal shows.

Abraham Washington has no place in WWE because his not a wrestler, announcer (probably will be shoved behind mike when even the writers realise his shows sucks), referee, ring announcer. He could be turned in to a gm or maybe someones manager but if he can kill a weekly segment when he still has fresh face-ness does not bold well.

RVD in the rumble was a shock and sensing the reaction it was a pity WWE did not sign him back up. (RVD being linked to TNA)

Best Rookie of the year? I myself do not agree with you about Sheamus. He has achieved the most but it came really from nothing. How can someone who was a mid-carder on ECW become WWE champion in a matter of weeks? Swagger would of been my choice but then again he has done nothing for weeks now. Funny when you think about who is the best rookie weeks or Dibiase if he is part of it.

Punk turning heel was perfect for him because his straight edge life style meant he could be snobish and up his own arse. The only downside is why didnt they do it a year earlier.

Great article.

Jack Swagger and Kozlov worst performers?You do Know Slam master J and Rosa Mendes right?

Posted by Mr Murder on Thursday, January 07, 2010
Comment #22

Mr Murder
If you had've voted for them... maybe they would've been in the bottom 4 :P.
I chose Kozlov because of his arsenal of moves and the way that he doesn't make himself really stand out when he's in the corner of someone.
I chose Swagger from his transition from ECW to Raw and how much he can screw up even the simpliest of moves. I admit that he has improved, but in my mind it was too little, too late. I'm not a swagger fan, but i do feel sorry for him. ECW Champion contender to Midcarder in 3 weeks.

I think Punk had a heel run in TNA when he was in Gathering with Raven... :D

But when i heard about Jack Evans going to WWE i was like Damn another great superstar is now gone...

Look how they did to Ron "The Truth" Killings and Lance Hoyt... In TNA they were superstars... In WWE - i dont even know... THATS why i dont like WWE way...

Abyss vs Foley was just weird, especially when the ref counted 3 for foley and continued the match, and punk was a heel back in tna, he was part of ravens gathering which also had Mickie James, and Julio Dinero, then Dinero and Punk turned on Raven, and went over to Father james Mitchell's group to feud with Raven and the likes of terry funk, sandman, Sabu and i think a few others.

Triple H is a good wrestler but here is a quote from a interview on Triple H "A few months later, when Gewirtz had another weekend off, i delivered another script to him on the PPV Sunday (Triple H had scripts taken to him on PPV sundays to check) and it was the same routine. He nonchalantaly flipped through it and said "am i f--king going over?" On this occasion he was to lose his match via DQ. He would keep his title. I said "Sort of". Then HHH froze and said "What do you f--king mean soer of?". I said "You lose the match via DQ, so you still keep your title." HHH ripped up the script and threw in on the floor then slammed the door in my face. The next day the script had changed to HH winning cleanly". This quote came from a writer inside WWe who gave no name. This interview is one of many which shows why he has done so much. He has control and thus can ensure he stays at the top of the WWE.

@ Sparda and AAAAARGH

Really? So many botched parts and NOT KICKING OUT BEFORE THE 3 COUNT... that doesn't make it a bad match?
And it wasn't the worst was it?
