We Sure Hope This Slammy Rumor Isn’t True

Say it isn’t so. One of WWE’s December traditions might not be happening this year. According to PWInsider.com by way of 411mania.com, at the moment, there are no plans to hold the Slammy Awards in 2016. While there is no reason given, it seems that the awards won’t be taken place this year and nothing is in the cards. This could of course change and the show could be thrown together at the last minute or put on the WWE Network.

The Slammy Awards have been a regular part of WWE’s December schedule since 2008 and had been held on and off since 1987. Once a joke, the awards are now used to advance storylines and feuds often spring up between people nominated for various categories. The Superstar of the Year Award is treated as a big deal in the company and helped Daniel Bryan rise to the top of the WrestleMania XXX card.

I’m a big fan of the Slammys and hopefully they still run this year. With all the down time WWE has between the December pay per views and Royal Rumble , there’s nothing wrong with throwing these out there for a single night. Bring a few people in as presenters and let the fans have a fun night. It’s not like Monday Night Raw is some hotbed of activity at the moment anyway.
