THE STANLEY WESTON AWARD:RANDY SAVAGE

[CB Colossus]

I am so happy that Punk won Wrestler Of the Year and of course MY Boy Sting wins Comeback Of The Year. On a sad note, Randy Savage should still be with us to win the Stanley Weston Award RIP Macho Man

This is the only issue of PWI I buy, and it is always a fun read.

Shameless plug: I do my own awards with my own unique view on professional wrestling. You can check them out at

Just boughtn this on Friday, 27 January 2012. I thought it wasn't due to hit the newsstands until Monday. Wanted to post it was out but JimSteel beat me too it. No problem. Thanks for the post Jim. I have bought each year end issue since 1986. I thought I had 1985, but must have misplaced it. I also try and get the top 500 each year. Just love the fact that because of LOW/LOTF/Chikara games, I can actually know who some of these guys are. Thanks Tom and crew.

"INSPIRATIONAL WRESTLER OF THE YEAR:ROSITA 25 %"

Yep, because she's more inspirational than a guy with Cerebral Palsy (Gregory Iron), for the love of God. I don't know which voters I hate more, the PWI Awards voters or the people who vote for the Observer Awards.

Not disagreeing with you on Gregory Irons. He definately got this award but for those that havent heard her story here is a quick version

Rosita's father was killed in the 9-11 attacks when he was only 10. He was a huge wrestling fan and she dedicated her life and career to him and became a pro wrestler

Gregory Irons deserves this award

Now there is a 3rd pick for this award that I never heard of and that is Rob Fury.

FROM PWI
He almost died When he was hit by a car and was run over by a SUV while crossing the street. He suffered a broken neck, Shattered his left leg and suffered nerve damage in his shoulder. Doctors said he should have died and there was no chance of him returning to wrestling. After excruciating rehab and emotional trauma he returned less then a year later
