WRESTLING SOUP

- bringing your date to a wrestling event
- WRESTLING SOUPIES categories and nominations

• THE "MATCH OF THE YEAR" AWARD - This is the match that actually reminded us why we bother staying awake until 11pm on Mondays and bother watching special events. What match was hotter than Miami and had you ready to get jiggy with it?
• THE "WHY THE FUCK AREN'T THEY SIGNED" AWARD - This goes out to the guy most obviously working the independents who WWE and AEW are completely missing the boat on. Past winners of this award include El Generico and Kevin Steen. This means either someone is listening to this shit or we're just shooting fish in a barrel. Either way, vote for who you like!
• THE "MOST EMBARRASSING PODCAST" AWARD - Who just completely dumped their purse all over the table, or drinks Kool-Aid by the bucket? Who is just an absolute embarrassment to listen to?
• THE "X-PAC HEAT" AWARD - A soup classic. Past winners include.. who gives a fuck.. neither of us remember because they fucking sucked. Hopefully they're gone. Please also note that voting for these guys WON'T make them go away. And you can only vote for Big Show once.
• THE "SWEETEST SUGAR WALLS" AWARD - This one goes out to the hottest diva of the year. No talent necessary. Simply Based off the aesthetic value of woman. Although this is wrestling.. No one would ever do such a thing!
• THE "LEAST OFFENSIVE WOMAN" AWARD - This award is based off of actual talent. Which female wouldn't embarrass you if you had to show a match of to a female who might someday touch your genitals. Or, just didn't make you want to take a wet kaka when you hear their entrance music play.
• THE "I THINK I FUCKED UP MY PUSH" AWARD - For the wrestler who was literally on top of the world and just as quickly has found themselves outside of Walmart selling selfies for $5 bucks and a bowl of Ramen noodle.
• THE "BIT O SOUP" AWARD - Self felicitating we know, but what moment on Wrestling Soup or Frank & Gus made you laugh out lettuce?
• THE "TUNA-MELTZER" AWARD - This award goes to the wrestler/promotion/or moment that made the true nerds cry with joy... but left the rest of us not really caring. Imagine that? Most people don't care about nerdy Tuna-Meltzer level shit. Fart noise
• THE "SOUPIEST MOMENT OF THE YEAR" AWARD - This is the moment of the year that was so deliciously bad.. that it was good. This is where the worlds of piss poor writing and comedic satire dry humped so hard that Kirk Cameron woke up in a cold sweat and pulled out abruptly from his 14 year old pagan Cambodian boy slave.. Mmm Mmm GOOD.
• THE "SOUPIEST WRESTLER OF THE YEAR" AWARD - Never has an award in the history of professional wrestling podcasting ever existed that carried more weight that this.. not to suck our own dicks or anything. But SO many amazing legends have won this award. Life changing. Career alerting. This is the big one.
