Talk:Slammy Award

It seems like I remember a Slammy award that was in WWF Magazine. One of the awards was Mabel winning A Boy Name Sue Award —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.103.173.3 (talk) 03:07, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Manager of the Year

Let's end the debate of who is the 1987 WWE manger of the year, and it's Jimmy Hart, because of the follwing, he had the Glamor Girls who were WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. he had the Honky Tonk Man who was the WWE intercontinental Championship, and finally The Hart Foundation who wore the Team tag Titles proudly.

There is no debate. The winner was "None of the above". Gorilla Monsoon read it while all four heel managers were standing on stage. Elizabeth was never nominated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OldSkool01 (talk • contribs) 09:01, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

WWE Year-End Awards

Fireantlers added the newly-introduced WWE Year-End Awards to this article and renamed it as such, stating "Same concept, different name". This seems contentious to me, and is something I oppose. There were 13 Slammy Award ceremonies during a 30-year period, all of which were televised and heavily promoted. This new concept could not be further from that. It was announced, voted for, and winners were revealed all exclusively via Instagram stories, which are inaccessible after a 24-hour period. No ceremony was held, nor did WWE even cover these awards on their own website.

A merge and transformation of the NXT Year-End Award article would make more sense, or the creation of a standalone article (though I doubt it meets WP:GNG yet). Prefall 21:32, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

I think it should have it's different article, even though the concept is similar. Slammy Awards is it's own thing and its notability cannot be treated equally with Year-End Awards. There is no official reference which proves that its name is changed. Furthermore, Fireantlers also claims that the new name got introduced in 2016. I don't know if that is true. Also, Slammy Awards were present entirely differently than the current system (voting selections, ceremonies etc.). ImmortalWizard(chat) 21:49, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

There were no WWE-sponsored awards given to the main roster in 2016 or 2017. He may be confusing it with the NXT Year-End Awards. Prefall 21:54, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Serious bit of Original Research goes in to making these fit into the same page - by that logic any movie award should be merged with the Oscars. Slammys are Slammys, the year end award is distinctly different. MPJ-DK (talk) 21:57, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

I dont see the relationship. Not every award given by wwe is a slammy. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 23:35, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Don't merge, they're two different things. Make a separate article if the year-end awards are notable but they probably aren't. It's okay to still include these awards in wrestler's articles even though they aren't notable enough for their own article, TNA offered similar awards in their early years.LM2000 (talk) 02:26, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

It is actually mentioned on WWE's Instagram story via Cageside Seats: "The last several iterations of WWE’s on-again, off-again Slammy Awards featured online fan voting. And though the Slammys are again on hiatus, in this age of #engagement the company isn’t gonna pass up an opportunity to plug their brand on social media. Last week, WWE asked their Instagram followers to vote in several Best of 2018 categories. Over the weekend, the unveiled the results in a “2018 Year End Awards” Instagram Story." -Fireantlers (talk) 06:57, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Unless we have an official source, or multiple RS mentioning that it's the same series of events, they shouldn't be merged. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:51, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

And right now we are at zero, since Cageside Seats fails WP:RS. - Galatz גאליץ^{שיחה Talk} 22:00, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

I'd say they should be kept separate. Slammy's are their own thing and not all awards given out by WWE are Slammys.★Trekker (talk) 03:52, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
