As we’ve all said goodbye to 2016, it’s time to take a look back at the stuff we’ve watched – the good and the bad!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve submitted ballots for the Wrestling Observer end-of-year awards. Since today’s the last day of 2016, here’s a selection of our picks, with reasons why behind some of them… It’s our end-of-year awards!
PROGRESS’ second-annual Super Strong Style 16 tournament concluded in style on a warm Bank Holiday Monday in Camden, with another nine-match strong card.
The late May Bank Holiday saw PROGRESS return to Camden’s Electric Ballroom for two back-to-back days of action, with their second annual Super Strong Style 16 tournament. Last year’s winner, Will Ospreay went on to unseat then-champion Jimmy Havoc, and with a title shot going to this year’s winner, it’s time to see who’ll get a crack at Marty Scurll.
So, the first pay-per-view of 2016 is in the books, and WWE has a new champion. Perhaps the biggest surprise on Sunday was that the company kept their surprises limited to two: a debut, and the new champion.
In years gone by, it’s been a bit of a stereotype – you can’t bet on wrestling, it’s fixed! Well, in recent times, bookmakers have been offering odds for pay-per-views for several months now, with those odds usually shifting at the last minute (particularly if a certain dolphin-themed Redditer has his say!)
BackBodyDrop wraps up 2014 with our final awards at 2014, including some of our wishes for the year ahead. And a positive word to say about Grado too!
