Flairs aren't allowed to win on TV in NC. This is the law and WCW showed us that.

The reason that SHIELD/Evolution and not SHIELD/Wyatts was on the list is the same reason CM Punk/Lesnar wasn't on the list; nobody's allowed to have a better match with The SHIELD than Hunter and his buddies.

Only main event programs get nominated for MOTY which is dumb as poo poo. You could have a 5-star classic as the opener on a PPV and it wouldn't get a nod but a decent Cena match would without any hesitation.

I had no idea Seth was going to be on the show before he came out.

Like I'm sure they hyped it 1000x last week, it's just all such noise that I filter it all out.

I was going to respond to this by pointing out that in 2010, WWE.com had a Bryan/Ziggler match that opened Bragging Rights tied with Michaels/Undertaker II as the best match of the year (obviously, wwe.com lists are not the same thing as the Slammys, but bear with me). Then I decided to double check that and found that the Taker/Michaels match was just listed as the MOTY, with Ziggler/Bryan as #2 - http://www.wwe.com/inside/top25/topmatches2010/page-26.

I thought I was crazy, but I found a bunch of people talking online about how it was a tie - http://forum.ewrestlingnews.com/showthread.php?3296-WWE-Names-Top-25-Matches-Of-2010

http://gotoanswer.stanford.edu/wwecom_pick_their_top_25_matches_of_the_yearsurprise_winner-3022546/

So I guess you were right, Mr. Granwin. Even if your 5-star classic opener on a PPV ties for MOTY, WWE will just go back after the fact and change the result to something with main eventers.

Bryan/Ziggler was really good but I don't think it was as good as Taker/Shawn II
