The Hammer as champion is solid in my book, only if he shows! The Valiants always did well for me in the past! Snuka is a tough guy, he deserves more credit in this Game!

The Hammer as champion is solid in my book, only if he shows! The Valiants always did well for me in the past! Snuka is a tough guy, he deserves more credit in this Game! Snuka has a very good card...but he's always struggled at the VERY top. The Valiants/Valentine/Albano angle kinda changed the course of the company heading into Starrcade.

Year One Awards
Wrestler of the Year: Nick Bockwinkel
First Runner Up: Bobo Brazil Second Runner Up: Giant Baba Third Runner Up: Harley Race
- This one's a no-brainer, as Bockwinkel has dominated the LWF. Losing the title to his stablemate Harley Race, even though he ended the year without the belt, he was the perennial #1 contender. His only other loss this year was by DQ. Bobo Brazil did for the US belt what Bockwinkel did for the World title, fending off all comers until Dick Hutton captured the strap.
Tag Team of the Year: The Road Warriors
First Runner Up: Giant Baba & Bobo Brazil Second Runner Up: The Valiants Third Runner Up: Nikolai Volkoff & Iron Sheik
- See above. The Road Warriors were megadominant, winning three tag belts this year. Giant Baba & Bobo Brazil might have won an award had they not put so much effort into both singles and tag, though they did have a good tag run this year.
Most Popular Wrestler of the Year: Bobo Brazil
First Runner Up: Giant Baba Second Runner Up: The Road Warriors (tie) Third Runner Up: Jimmy Snuka
- The wildly popular Brazil was the runaway winner here. Giant Baba was close, and the Road Warriors probably split their vote. Snuka trailed behind with the rest of the faces, like Red Bastien.
Most Hated Wrestler of the Year: Ted DiBiase
First Runner Up: Nick Bockwinkel Second Runner Up: Harley Race Third Runner Up: Killer Kowalski
- DiBiase ticked off everyone who wasn't King Kong Bundy or Virgil this year, and that was probably because he was signing their bonuses! Bockwinkel infuriated fans by being nearly unstoppable, and his stablemates Race, Kowalski and Rogers were in nearly a dead heat.
Feud of the Year: Ted DiBiase & The Million Dollar Team vs The Rulebreaker Lockerroom
First Runner Up: Baba & Brazil vs Bockwinkel, Rogers, Race & Kowalski Second Runner Up: Road Warriors vs Sandman & Baker Third Runner Up: Ted DiBiase vs Frank Gotch
- Not too sound flippant, but the above is accurate. Ted DiBiase not only fought with the fan favorites but he, Bundy and Virgil warred with fellow rulebreakers Gorgeous George, Buddy Rose, Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff! Giant Baba and Bobo Brazil enlisted several allies against Bockwinkel's quartet, while the Road Warriors' stiffest challenge was from Sandman and Ox Baker. DiBiase's feud with Gotch produced some good matches, and hit a fever pitch when Ted recruited Gotch for a match at Face-Off, then turned on Gotch when he got eliminated!
Match of the Year: Skywalkers - Road Warriors beat DiBiase & Bundy
First Runner Up: US Title, 2 out of 3 falls, Dick Hutton beats Red Bastien (Slamboree) Second Runner Up: #1 Contender's Match - Race beats Gotch & Destroyer (Omni Onslaught) Third Runner Up: US Title Dog Collar Match, Jim Duggan beats Harley Race (Starrcade)
- The Road Warriors also crossed paths with DiBiase in a short-lived feud that culminated in the debut of the Skywalkers match! While no titles were on the line, the sheer spectacle has yet to be rivaled. Dick Hutton's war with Red Bastien ended in a handshake that saw both men team up afterwards. Harley Race's win in the innovative and rarely seen Triple Threat match paved the way for the end of Nick Bockwinkel's title reign, while Jim Duggan ended the year by winning a bloody Dog Collar match with the US belt on the line!
