The previously announced awards are available in our 2021 Awards section.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>1. &#8220;Hangman&#8221; Adam Page (32 percent)<br \/>\n2. Big E (12 percent)<br \/>\n3. Brock Lesnar (6 percent)<br \/>\n4. CM Punk (6 percent)<br \/>\n5. Bianca Belair (5 percent)<br \/>\nOthers (39 percent)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Jason Powell&#8217;s Thoughts:<\/strong><\/span> It was a great year for Adam Page, who really ran away with the voting. As much as &#8220;Cowboy Shit&#8221; caught on, Page thrives because he comes off as a relatable and likable person. It also helped that the long term storyline between him and Kenny Omega resulted in the big payoff of him capturing the AEW World Championship. Big E shares the same relatable and likable traits as Page. He had a good year, but his title reign was hampered by bad booking that often made him look like a soft champion. Lesnar was a pleasant surprise as a fun-loving babyface. This should have been the year of Bianca Belair in the WWE women&#8217;s division, but they pulled the plug on her title reign at SummerSlam, and she ended up spinning her wheels the rest of the year. Why? For that matter, last year&#8217;s winner Drew McIntyre was also booked out of realistic contention for this award.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-2090572517\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":87531,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4347,1426,50,2],"tags":[2486,2321,86,630,210,3595,37,2198,128,63,101],"class_list":["post-105193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2021-awards","category-awards","category-mustreadarticles","category-newsticker","tag-aew","tag-gcw","tag-impact-wrestling","tag-mlw","tag-njpw","tag-njpw-strong","tag-nxt","tag-nxt-uk","tag-pro-wrestling","tag-roh","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
