The 1st Annual Jammys (TNA Edition)
Our resident philosopher, Jay Shannon, returns with part two of his End of Year awards. This type around, Jay looks at TNA’s best and worst.
Last week, I awarded my Jammys to the WWE stars. This week, it’s time to award the best and worst of TNA. There are a few different awards on this side of the fence, but most are the same. I hope you enjoy the TNA Jammys.
Wrestler of the Year: Kurt Angle
It takes a special kind of wrestler to over-shadow the World champion. Kurt Angle has done that all year. Whether the champ was Sting or Samoa Joe, Kurt was still getting more attention that the champ. Angle’s wars with A.J. Styles, Samoa Joe, Jeff Jarrett and Mick Foley have kept the former Olympian in the spotlight. When Kurt helped create the Main Event Mafia, he elevated himself even higher.
Kurt’s personal issues have also focused the attention of the fans on him. His marital woes and his run in with the law had the Internet ablaze with speculation and rumor. His comments in the British media, denouncing TNA, brought him severe heat from all sides. Kurt is not the most liked person in TNA, but he is the brightest star in the TNA Heavens.
Knockout of the Year: Awesome Kong
