Voting Now Open For The WWE Bumpy Awards

Get your envelopes ready. Debating/arguing the best in wrestling is a rite of passage among fans. Everyone has done it at some point in their time as a fan and that will always be the case. It is an easy thing to do as everyone has a take of some kind. It makes for some interesting discussions, but it can be even more interesting when someone on the inside gets involved. That is the case again this week.

WWE’s The Bump has unveiled the categories and nominees for their half year awards known as the Bumpys. The awards will be fan voted with the winners being named on the August 4 edition of the Bump at 10am EST. There are five categories this time, including Superstar, Match, Rivalry, Moment and Tag Team of the Half-Year. Here are the nominees for the first half of 2021:

Opinion: These things can always be fun, but at the same time you are always going to have someone or something left out. It is kind of hard to fathom that Walter is not up for a Match Of The Half-Year but for some reason his match against Tommaso Ciampa is left out. There are some good choices on there though and the winners should be fun, especially since it is just a fan voted award.
