How does Kurt Angle not win shite in the RSPW fan awards? The most solid performer of the year - and a major reason that Austin has been as entertaining as he has over the last few months - and he gets no love in any category.
The man gots lots of love in RSPW. He was 2nd for Wrestler of the Year, 3rd for Best Heel of the Year, 4th for Best Face, 2nd for Best Worker, 2nd for Best Technical, Top 10 Finish in Best Brawler, 4th Most Favorite, 3rd Most Improved, 3rd and 4th Best Gimmicks, Top 10 Finish Best Move, 4 of the top 15 Matches, 3 of the Top 10 Feuds, 4th Best Interview, 2 of the Top 10 Angles..I'd say Kurt got lots of love. So he didn't win any hardware, neither did Marshall Faulk or Brian Urlacher, but they're still Pro Bowl Bound. If there was an All-Star wrestling team, Kurt would be there.
He was really good this past year. The problem is that he contributed a hell of a lot to many others being better.
Would Austin have came off as well with Angle? I'm sure he would have found a way, but it probably wouldn't have worked out as well.
Besides, the RSPW Awards don't necessariliy, you know, actually claim accuracy to everyone's opinion
---=---:---=--- [Look up a line] Wow, that belt looks like crap... I'll take it and carry it around for years and see if people can take it away from me... What? What was that? You mean even THIS belt doesn't matter! What? I'm insulted! Get away from me you... you... defiler!
Yeah, this is a comparison...so SUE ME! We compare the Big Guys in the Big Cateogories (Best Wrestler, Heel, Face, Worker, Technical & Brawler)

DR: Oh man, I'm stoked about a 35 minute Creative Writing Break in the middle of every Smackdown Workrate Report. Actually, I would definately keep the non-stop wrestling action that it's achieved at this point.
