The 2016 Doomie Awards

Last week the blog cast its votes for the top (and worst) wrestlers and moments of 2016. The voting deadline has passed and all of the votes have been counted. Remember, a first place vote was worth five points, a second place vote was worth three points, and a third place vote was worth one point. In case of a tie, number of first place votes was used to break it.

I included the top three finishers for each category below, but if you wish to see the entire spreadsheet and how many first place, second place, and/or third place a choice received, go to this link:

Keep in mind that not all voters cast a ballot with three choices for each category and some voters did not vote for certain categories. In all, though, we had a higher rate of participation this year, with fifty-three people casting ballots (versus thirty-two last year). Winners can be found below.
