Wrestling Observer Awards (WON) 1980 - 2013 (and runner-ups)

For over thirty years, Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter has published their annual awards in numerous categories. The full list of winners can be found online at numerous websites (for instance, Wikipedia). However, a comprehensive list of top finishers in each category is much more difficult to locate. Having tracked down the information online, here (sans Dave's commentary) is an archive of that material.

Note: Eligibility period is from December Prior Year through November Current Year
(i.e. the 2010 Awards cover Dec 2009 to Nov 2010).

Check out rest of INDEEDWRESTLING for more wrestling stats, analysis and analytics.

(1980-2002 results were from an archive of a German webpage, so the language might be a bit a garbled.)
