RU: NJPW King of Pro Wrestling 2012

Worst Major Show of the Year: WWE Elimination Chamber
TV Show of the Year: TNA Final Resolution
(Final Resolution gets the nod for the runner-up spot over ROH Boiling Point and ROH Battle of Richmond, each for different reasons. Battle of Richmond really wasn’t promoted as a major show, while Final Resolution was, and although the match quality on Battle of Richmond is worse, I am giving them a bit of a pass because they had to change their main event at the last minute because of Steen’s injury. While Boiling Point was promoted as a major show and it’s main event was worse than the best and most-hyped match at Final Resolution, Boiling Point had a stronger undercard and it actually felt like important things/blow-offs were happening, while Final Resolution really felt like an extended version of Impact, with nothing important at all happening. The issue of the Velvet-Sky centered hype package for the Knockouts’ Title match between Tara and Mickie really helped reinforce this feeling that this show was complete and total filler.

Best TV Show of the Year: FCW
RU: Smackdown

Worst TV Show of the Year: Impact
RU: ROH
(I was going back and forth between Raw and ROH, but Raw started the year very strong, and I don’t think that ROH’s TV show really does the job it should at showing off the product. Also, I hate Road Rage).
