Each match that we reviewed this year was compiled and averaged out to determine the score for each wrestler's full year. We only included wrestlers who had at least 3 matches this year that we reviewed, and for the purposes of these awards we used my (meaning Cewsh's) ratings. For reference, anyone recieving a cumulative average score of 60 - 69 is considered to have passed in terms of having been part of enjoyable matches in the past year. An average of 70 - 79 means that your matches were consistently good, if not particularly special, and a score of 80 - 89 means you had really good to great matches so consistently that your entire year qualifies for a Download Seal of Approval. Should anyone crest the diamond mountains of the 90 - 100 range, it should probably go without saying that they are some kind of goddamn sorcerer.

Poor Kofi Kingston..or Kobi as Ozzy likes to call him. Get this guy a feud, change him up and I think he can be OK.
I believed that that was true for a lot of years, and maybe it still is. But every time he walks out with his remarkably stale current self, it chips away at whatever goodwill he has left.
Yeah, no doubt hence why a change is needed. I loved his feud with Orton and thought that would have helped him break through, and if they can get him back to that attitude, it would help him immensely. Time will tell though, until then I bet he gets paired with Justin Gabriel for the time being.
Well the Orton feud would have helped him get over if he had managed to get himself over in the slightest. Which is on him.
Orton seems to be where potential pushes go to die....Kingston, Bourne, Cody/Ted jr.,..they all received some nice pushes, but then after they get in a feud with Orton, the pushes mysteriously stop.....
I remember the crowd going nuts when Kofi boom-dropped Orton through a table at MSG.
Well its more complex than that. Kofi actually killed Orton's momentum, since he kept on beating him clean in matches again and again but never actually got over. So then when it came time to put over Dibiase or Rhodes, Orton didn't have the momentum or the credibility to make it work right, and wound up getting turned face himself instead.
Its also worth noting that Bourne, Kingston and Dibiase are all great examples of guys who have never gotten over despite numerous opportunities with various opponents.
great list, however I feel like Scott Steiner could give Matt Morgan a strong run for his money in the shitty mic work category.

Scott Steiner is so awful that he has turned it into an art form. I wouldn't trade him for the world.
