It’s time for the 2005 Year End Awards here in Be The Booker. I’m posting the thread over two weeks early, but for good reason.
Twelve months is a long time to try and remember things, especially something as unimportant to life as BTB, and although the majority of people in BTB weren’t around early in the year, there are some who where. But even for those who came along in the summer, I’m sure they wont remember everything they read, especially with the data loss etc.
So, I’ve came up with an idea to try and help this process a little easier. I’m not sure whether it’s a successful one or not, but I think it’ll be worth a try. This idea is as follows.
Within the next week, if possible, I’d like any booker who wishes to (whether you’ve been around 3 weeks or 6 months, it doesn’t matter) to PM me with nominations, or reminders if you want to call it, of things you’ve done from your thread in 2005 that fall into a number of the categories. However, don’t go over board. Give between 3 - 7 for each award, but anything more will seem like you’re big headed.
For some categories (Category 1, 8, & 10) you’ll obviously not be able to give any reminders / nominations of anything, as those are pure choice, based on effort and nothing to do with specific storylines or matches.
I’ll give an example of what I‘d like, in case it‘s confusing. For this example, lets just say I was writing a WWE thread, and was doing Raw, with this years results.
I’ll do an example of Category 2.
Lets say for Show of the year, I’d mention the Goldrush show, following Backlash, with such matches as HBK vs. Benjamin and HHH vs. Benoit, or Homecoming, with the return of Steve Austin, Mick Foley, HHH etc. Not too many, but a few.
Moment of the Year, I’d mention Batista turning on Evolution, John Cena being drafted to Raw, Eric Bischoff getting fired.
Shock of the year, I’d mention Triple H turns on Ric Flair, Matt Hardy returns to the WWE.
Same goes for the rest of the categories.
Some might wonder if this is just a waste of time, but really, it saves bookers time having to trawl through the last year to find promos they want to vote for etc.
I’ll give a week for any one interested to give me their own reminders, but don’t worry if you cant, it’s not going to rule you out of getting any votes. It’s just to help the rest of us remind ourselves of some stuff to vote for.
Once I get all the information together, I’ll post it all up in one post next Thursday or Friday. Please PM them, don’t post them here, as it’ll just clutter up the thread.
