2006 Tapatia Awards: last chance to modify the ballot

Yea, we’re going to do it. I waited, and then forgot about it for a while, and then remembered it for a while but couldn’t decide if it was too late (which kinda made it later), but it’s worth doing for historical purposes.

Best Wrestler (pick 6)
Best Match (pick 6)
Best Tecnico (pick 3)
Best Rudo (pick 3)
Best Female (pick 3)
Best Unit (pick 3)
Best Promotion/Territory (pick 3)
Best Rivalry (pick 3)
Most Improved (pick 3)
Most Underutilized (pick 3)

Voting would cover 2006.

For the pick 3, points would go 5/3/2. For the pick 6, it’d be 17/12/8/5/3/2

Any last minute suggestions? This will get started this weekend, and the vote will be open for two weeks.

  2. Wow, Nick didn’t take long to vote.:P

    I gotta thank Cubs for doing this. Sure it’s late and there are only a few people that still care about it but you never know in a few years if someone will look back and want to see what happened in 2006. Let’s face it, this is THE site for Lucha Libre information so there should be awards given out since nobody else would ever attempt to do them. Even if only a few people vote, I’m sure we’ll still get the right winners for the categories to accurately represent 2006 in Mexico.

    This also will force me to finally finish the 2006 MOTYC list I was working on.

  3. Yeah. I was thinking about this the other day and asked cubsfan about it. I pretty much had a list in my head to start.

    Also, my list is very AAA heavy because thus far I’ve seen much more AAA than CMLL from 2006. The list could change a lot if I had seen more CMLL. I still have a lot of CMLL DVDs to watch. If I have any big changes, I’ll update my list.

  4. It might be a stretch but how about a Best Foreigner category? Not that there is any good ones (Kenzo?? Marco?? Kozlov? Black Buffalo?) but I would love to hear suggestions on who would win this and why.
