It has been a year unlike any other and like every other industry out there pro wrestling has been hit hard but has risen to the challenge as it always does. Here at Slam we are recognizing the best and the worst of 2020 with our annual awards. Like 2020 itself, this year things are a little different. We will be announcing a winner or winners every day leading up to the Best Male and Female Wrestlers on New Years Day. We are also only considering nominees up to the first week in November, which will be our new annual cut-off and start date. The voting by Slammers was held independently and blindly. What we mean by that is none of our staff knew how the other staff members were voting.

Without further ado, the nominees are…

Nominees 2020: Pete Dunne, Matt Riddle versus Flash Morgan Webster, Mark Andrews – NXT TV,  Adam Page, Kenny Omega versus Young Bucks – AEW Revolution, Adam Page, Kenny Omega versus Rey Fenix, Pentagon Jr. – AEW Dynamite, The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) versus FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) – Full Gear and Matt Riddle, Pete Dunne versus Bobby Fish, Kyle O’Reilly – NXT TakeOver: Portland.
