- Match of the Year
Mickie James VS Beth Phoenix VS Melina – Judgment Day
OR
Beth Phoenix VS Santino Marella (if it counts in a divas match)
Both matches brought something different from each other, but both crowd reactions were one of the biggest I have seen in a while for WWE Diva’s.
- Most Improved Wrestler
Maryse/Kelly Kelly
Considering both had no wrestling background prior to WWE they have actually come very far in 2008, with Maryse getting a big storyline with Michelle McCool for the Diva’s Championship.
Kelly Kelly being drafted to RAW, and recieving a push at the moment, especially over Candice who, beforehand was WWE’s number one diva for recieving pushes.
- Most Skilled Wrestler
At first I actually throught Natalya considering her wrestling background, however due to her jobbering status as of late I am wondering whether the first third generation diva is going to go back to her dominant status on the blue brand, or show off the wrestling skills we saw during her first few months on debuting on television.
Then I considered Victoria, another jobber who has the potential to go alot further than the current Diva’s recieving pushes or continuous wins without as much prior experience to Victoria herself. However if you look back to previous matches with Victoria over the years, it allows you to take note of Victoria’s wrestling skills and just how impressive the Vicious Vixen actually is.
- Best Newcomer
Natalya once again. If you look back to her first few months within the business Natalya’s in ring work impressed many of people, with her constant dominering over other Diva’s in the ring aswell as her on screen persona, and of course her ability to carry a match with anticipation which would leave the viewer wanting more.
Katie Lea Burchill, I’m torn whether to actually suggest her, at first she seemed very promising within the ring however over the past few months my rooting for her has come and gone, and now I’m wondering whether the WWE is planning on using her apart from someone to fill tag matches or jobbing.
- Face of the Year
Mickie James
Mickie is quite an obvious choice, and I currently cannot think of another face who is actually as impressive as Mickie in the ring.
- Heel of the Year
The first Knockout I’ve actually added in this list, Awesome Kong.
Always dominant, Kong always seems to be the main Knockout in TNA, especially now Gail Kim has departed with the company. Without any consideration for her oponents physical well-being, she continously seems to be involved in squash matches against the other Knockouts.
- Storyline of the Year
Melina’s Face Turn
This was quite unexpected as her and Beth seemed quite a tight team together.
- News Story of the Year
Ashleygate
Not saying any more.
- Best Gimmick
Layla’s heel turn against Jamie Noble, and her Royalty gimmick with William Regal.

Maria by far.
I kid.
I’d have to say Layla, the whole wrestling style isn’t my kind of thing but Layla really draws my attention.
- One To Watch
Gail Kim
With the anticipation with is she signing with WWE or not being a hot topic on blogs or pro wrestling news sites, I think its easy to say alot of people will agree with me.
- Lifetime Achievement Award#
Tori Wilson
Gone but not forgotton, its sad she never held the Womens Title during her WWE stint.
I realise I am the only person to show the reasons for my choices but I feel it’s alot more persuading than just typing in the name.
I also agree
