Every year, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter holds its annual end-of-year awards, with fans emailing in their picks for categories such as Match of the Year, Show of the Year, and all of that good stuff.

We’re halfway through the year, and my word, what a six months it’s been. January started off with a bang in more ways than one, and in spite of a flat WrestleMania, the first half of 2016 has produced plenty of memorable moments and matches.
