Impact Wrestling Announces Year-End Awards Nominations - TV Insider

Impact Wrestling has announced The Impact Year End Awards categories — including Wrestler of the Year, Knockout of the Year, and Match of the Year — and its usual long list of nominations.  

The year has been transformative, with an influx of new talent and big matches. The company kicked off things in January by making history: It crowned Tessa Blanchard as the first female Impact World Champion, putting intergender wrestling in the spotlight. In the summer, stars like Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, Deonna Purrazzo, Eric Young, Brian Myers, Heath, and EC3 arrived fresh off their WWE runs. 

There were also feel-good moments, including the return of beloved tag team the Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin), underdog Rich Swann becoming the Impact champion, and Ken Shamrock being inducted in the Hall of Fame while still competing at age 56. And let’s not forget about the meta show-within-a-show called Wrestle House. Or even when All Elite Wrestling recently seemed to be teasing a working relationship with the promotion (Kenny Omega on Impact?!). 

Check out the ballot, and some of my picks (in bold) below — and don't forget to vote!
