(Should these be the 2021 awards from the 2020 year? I’m never sure.)
Hola.
These are the results for 2020 Tapatia Awards, honoring the best in lucha libre. Thanks to everyone who voted, and thanks for those who didn’t for still reading this. We had 56 ballots this year, far down from last year. 2020 sucked and I didn’t do a strong job of promoting the awards, so not a big surprise.
Full results from past years: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2017, 2018, 2019.
