WRESTLING EYEBALL ! 2001 YEAR-END AWARDS
Last night, the Big Stewie Entertainments Banquet and Floor Show was the setting for WRESTLING EYEBALL's 2001 Year-End Awards ceremony. The original plan was to simply announce the "best of" winners at the show, leaving the "worst" awards for a low-key ceremony earlier in the day. However, due to the many requests from the wrestlers themselves, WRESTLING EYEBALL not only celebrated pro wrestling's finest at the show, but we recognised the personified nadirs of the industry as well.
With that in mind, here are the awards recipients, as determined by the fans, wrestlers, and staff at WRESTLING EYEBALL Magazine.
NOTE: Those who accepted their awards in person are noted by an asterisk (*) following their names.
