Did this apply for the Slammys? The reason I asked is because Reigns won superstar of the year, but there were other choices that seemed more popular.

I still refuse to believe that Roman Reigns won superstar of the year.. It's very believable In April of 2014 he won a poll where the winner faced Kane He had like 75 percent Ambrose had 15 Rollins had 10 I think people are misjudging how popular he was Your point? At the time of the Slammy awards, he had been on the shelf for a few months because of injury and had done NOTHING of note since splitting from the Shield. Not to mention, he's yet to come out on a Raw or PPV and get a bigger reaction than Daniel Bryan (or Ambrose for that matter anymore). He may have already been popular but there is zero chance he legit won that.. |

Exactly what i came into here to post. No one can tell me that wasnt rigged. Why would anyone vote Mason Ryan to face Evan Bourne over Sin Cara. |

Roman Reigns winning Superstar of the year still has to be a work.

I'm not that wild about these "storylines" where the fans vote on matches, anyway...
It was kind of neat when they based a whole PPV out of it, Cyber Sunday, etc....
But on a regular week - I just wish WWE would come up with meaningful reasons for the superstars to go into battle other than "the fans voted for it".
WWE's made it clear (through their shoddy booking practices) over and over again that they do not care what the fans want anyway.... as evidence, I present the handling of Daniel Bryan, Batista, Roman Reigns, and Sting. All these were situations where WWE should have listened to the fans - and didn't.
So these silly little match "votes" mean nothing to me.

 They way they tabulate votes is definitely shady. The whole 'merging Bryan's voting spot on the ballot with Reigns' which thus cemented he win the SSOY award was bull. People wanted DB. |

So you're telling me Roman Reigns won superstar of the year. Because of the fans. There's no way...

It really kills me when the choices are something like this 1)No holds barred 2)street fight 3)extreme rules As if there's really a  ing difference at this point. |

I've never really questioned the legitimacy of the voting itself, because what would be the point? They manipulate the polls so much before they ever go live, that they're almost guaranteed to get their desired result. Monday is a perfect example, or, like he mentioned, picking between three stipulations that are exactly the same.

All these were situations where WWE should have listened to the fans - and didn't. You're going to present, as your evidence, Daniel Bryan -- who won a WrestleMania main event that he got put in purely due to TV crowd reactions.... Batista -- who got turned heel for the same reason... And Roman Reigns -- who had year-long plans dropped for the same reason? Your evidence doesn't support your point very well. |

That night they had multiple votes and screwed up the tallies so Ryan had a lot of votes counted from the previous poll. This was widely reported at the time, too, and WWE rectified it the next week. Up until this thread, I thought everybody was aware of this. |

Only when faced with complete fan revolution did they change course in all those instances... in all of them, they tried their best to get the fans to react a certain way - and they failed. When they couldn't convince the fans to respond the way they wanted them to - only then did they reluctantly change their plans (because they had no choice). It speaks volumes for Stone Cold's assessment of McMahon being "out of touch" with what the fans want.... These are not cases of WWE taking crowd reactions and playing to them - they are cases of WWE having to change course out of fear that fans would leave, because their original plans failed so miserably... Instead of reacting to crowd reactions, ratings, & polls.... WWE only responds & changes course when fans get angry & react negatively to guys they are "supposed" to be cheering for.... |

It's a fake award show. I get it. It doesn't matter. However, that still doesn't explain this. I actually voted and this is exactly how it looked.  No columns in between Cena and Ambrose/ Reigns and D Bry is just odd. |

No columns in between Cena and Ambrose/ Reigns and D Bry is just odd. It looks to me like WWE wanted either Cena or Reigns to win Superstar of the Year. Like, if you voted for Ambrose or Bryan your vote was going to count for either Cena or Reigns. In a way, I guess that's rigging the vote. I mean your vote still counted, it just counted for someone else. That's sorta different than the Raw voted where your essentially given three options that are the same or only one "real" option. There's no need to rig those Raw votes. |

I've never thought them to be rigged but, more stacked in the writers favour or in a way that doesnt change the course of the storyline...
for example this past week with the voting for the WWE title match, of course it was going to be a triple threat, who's going to vote for one on one?!
or the infamous 3 extreme rules matches, given 3 different names. Or a few years ago there was a vote for special guest referee, I think the options were JBL, Booker-T or Stone Cold, obviously gonna be stone cold, as the other two a regularly on tv and arent in the same "bracket" as Steve Austin.
