Everytime I try to fly I fall
Without my wings
I feel so small
Guess I need you baby...



After last year's successful tournament, I'm back this year for the 2014-2015 Gif of the Year thread. This year, however, nominations will be up to you, the people.

Gifs are eligible to be Gif of the Year if they were made between last Wrestlemania and the week before the current Wrestlemania. This does not necessarily mean the subjects of the gif had to occur within that time period. Any wrestling related gifs can be nominated, from WWE to NJPW to the Backyard to a bouncer German suplexing a drunk guy.. They can be awesome spots, funny moments, fond memories or TNA. Sixty-four gifs will enter, but one will be champion of PSP.

Last year's winner achieved heights that may never be reached again, resulting in its own subreddit and a spot on national television: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x28vfwz_vince-mcmahon-gif-on-comedy-central_fun

Nominations are open from now until the day of Wrestlemania.


Allow me to kick off the thread by revealing one of this year's non-wrestling wrestling gif entrants:
Antonio Brown's Curb Stomp

Cutting it down to just 6 was pretty hard. Sorry Bob Backlund and Stardust.












There's possibly a better version of this moment somewhere.

solid gif encapsulating a major moment from 2014 but imo the reversed one where brock is celebrating and then decides to take a nap is better

Is brock wearing MMA shorts with faux sponsors on it? That's a good look and smart. Makes him look scary and serious and like an outsider.

Welp, shows you how much I was watching at that time :v:

They missed a big opportunity with no Girl Edge spearing herself into tables while Girl Cena shrugged and laughed.
