Promo of the Year
Don't make me pick out of the dozens we had this year

LOLWTF Promo of the Year:
* Chris Austin goes Professor Scott Steiner at FMW Catalyst 2010, addes the unaddable, picks what is a skill and what isn't at random and generally made me lol. You're a great promo'er RCA, this was one was a pure moment of madness for you haha
* Omega and Mark Johansson become masked superheros. Speaks for itself doesn't it?


Storyline/Feud of the Year:
* FMW Games Best build up, biggest pay off, shock conclusion, it was something alright
* Skylar Striker/Drew Michaels: They flirted for so long but nothing ever happened. Sort of like Jericho/Goldberg in WCW. Still entertaining though.

Match of the Year
* Gold Card Gauntlet Preview:
Ultraviolent Rules:
Apathy vs. MASS Caesar
I seem to remember this being pretty good actually

* Distortion vs. Corruption, House of 1,000 Glass Shards:
Apostasy vs. Nick Bryson

* C-4 Championship/Pandora's Box Match:
Eric Scorpio (c) vs. Drew Michaels




Show of the Year
FMW Catalyst

Noteworthy Moment of 2010:
*
* Celt beats LPW World Champ Hatchet. With a weird Comedy Promo. And Hatchet is never seen again. WTF.
* Corruption 12.1: FUKKEN NO-SHOWED
* RCA wins both the Hayubasa Cup and the C-4 belt. Had I known this I would actually entered myself in Hayabusa in order to prevent this NIGHTMARE FUTURE that is now our present.
* Team Ford for FMW Games!
* Celt commits murder, suicide at Corruption 10.1 (Jaro and Celt sail right off the METALtron) (also, Celt pushing Jaro, jumping off was not how it was supposed to go down, but oh well )
* She's dead, Jim (RIP Celeste)
* Leon beats Striker
* PX beats John Derrick on his return
* Jason Krow: Arrive. Generate Buzz. Job. Leave. AGAIN.
* Distortion/Matt Dunn strike gold with the invention/hiring of Jacqueline Hyde

Disappointments of 2010:
* Kaoru Hanayama takes the money (Gold Card) and runs
* Celt gets 3 shots at Jaro's UV title and botches every single one of them (well, maybe not the last one, that promo was pretty good actually) (Partially 2009)
* I help convince Cactus Sam to return to face me, he gets sucked into the tag division, leaves before he ever faces me





That should do for now anyway

Superstar of the Year

* Chris Austin
I would say RCA has had quite the 2010, wouldn't you? C-4, Tag and Hayabusa Cup in the same calendar year is rather impressive

* Drew Michaels
Spent almost all of the year as C-4 champ and defended even on his off days. Still a major player and always a big deal when he's in a match

* TyranT
Best FMW Champ of all time? Maybe, but the fact is that since TyranT's return I don't think he has lost a match and he's put down all comers.

* Skyler Striker
To my knowledge the LONGEST REIGNING double champion in FMW's history. Captivated my attention with his heel turn and still managed to be one of the more formidable guys around.

Rookie of the Year:
* Axel Van Osbourne
Still improving and looks to has hit his stride.

* Kaoru Hanayama
Gold Card winner. Pretty self-explanatory

* David GS
TV champion, long winning streak. Dude's a future FMC if you ask me. Self-explanatory

* Faith
I know she's TyranT, but she was kicking ass. And her pic base is scrumptious, depending on the pic

Most Improved Talent:

* Calvin X Carter
Inconsistency in his showing up really hurt him. When he did, he had arguably the best read on the card.

* PX
Went from second fiddle in the Fighting Irish to statistically the best TV champ of all time.

* Leon Caprice
2010 was a big year for Leon in terms of development and increased skill

* The Celt
Improved by leaps and bounds in his writing and got some big wins and chances. I think 2011 he starts getting the chips to fall his way.

* Romeo
One break from a FMC reign, he went from seemingly directionless former AB champion to a main guy with some of the more impressive wins in FMW this year

Team of the Year:

* Danse Macabre
For a while, the only true team. A Tag Team Title reign was the only thing missing.

* Wayward Sons
Current Tag Team Champs and for much of the FMW Games, the driving force behind AMM's charge for the win.

* Crash Scene
Longest reigning FMW Tag Team Champs

Veteran of the Year:

* Nick Bryson
Came in, sparked interest and showed that he is still a major player

* Alex O'Rion
The source of all my e-fed related headaches, when present he is still a great source of entertainment and showed that he can still do this at a high level

The "What the fuck am I, Invisible!?" award for outstanding commitment to FMW (A.K.A. Most Underrated):

* Abel Steele
Good promos and when around, a constant source of action and slight controversy

* Apostasy
A lot of people in high places felt that he was knocking them out of the park left and right in promos. I feel that if he sticks around, he's a future champ, if he wants to be.

* Nick Bryson
A strong source of ideas, a feather in the cap if he's defeated and despite his accomplishments, never taken as serious as he should be. Man deserves credit.

* Leviticus
Light Heavyweight Champion and a solid promoer.

* MASS Caesar
I <3 this man. When his head is in the game, he's one of the most entertaining guys in the fed.

* Slegnadamus
All of his notable stuff is behind the scenes, so he's the best road agent of sorts that we have. Thanks, Sleg.


Promo of the Year

* Skyler Striker (Ammunition 11.2)
Despite it being versus Alex and I, I came away officially marking for Skyler after this.

* Chris Austin (FMW Catalyst)
I tried something different and it hit a home run despite the loss. One of the most creative things I have ever done.

* Chris Austin (FMW Death Row)
My personal favorite promo against my toughest competitor one on one. It was well-received IMO.

*Christian G. Smitten (FMW Death Row)
Again, a lights out promo with great emotion. He was the toughest guy I've ever faced one on one.

* TyranT (FMW Death Row)
Just because of the sheer mark out I had for his return. It was a top-notch promo, but the reveal of TyranT put it over the top as I remember my reaction about it to this day.

* TyranT (FMW Lethal Injection)
That promo, from top to bottom, really did it for me.

* MASS Caesar (Lion facepalm)
Hands down the funniest promo I read all year.

* Romeo (Distortion 10.1/Pandora's Box match)
The smark concept behind it was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

LOLWTF Promo of the Year (I am assuming that this is like "funniest" promo:

* Nick Bryson (FMW Cataylst)
He actually parodied the Expendables. And did it well. LOL indeed.

* Jaro (the Jaromon promo, whenever it was)
Nuff said.

* MASS Caesar (Lion facepalm)
Hands down the funniest promo I read all year.

* Leon Caprice hits an Inverted Phoenix Splash on Striker during their "I Quit" Match

* Celt risks his life to end Jaro's


Finisher of the Year:

* Chris Austin's Occam's Razor
Ended Michaels' C-4 reign and Crash Scene's Tag Title Reign and is always Austin's go to move for an emphatic end. Simple, effective, and brutal

* David GS' Spear
Rode it to one of the greatest starts to an FMW career

* Romeo's Strongarm Takeover
Epitomized Romeo's rise to notoriety

* Drew Michaels' Revelations
One of the most vile moves ever created. Submission or KO, make your choice.

* Christian G. Smitten's Courtroom Assault
In my opinion, argubly the most visually impressive move of the bunch. Utter annihilation.
