RYAN HALL: WWF, ECW, WCW.  Can it be any other way?  The other 2 are out
of business.

JESSE HARALDSON: The UFC has made a comeback and the "High Voltage" show
they did was an example of how good the sport is.

TEDB512: Even though it has to be my #2, WCW was obviously rebuilding
towards the end, and it would've been great by now.

SCOTT CRAWFORD: I sadly find myself looking back at the last dying gasps
of the old WCW (specifically, the last month) nostalgically, compared to
the current WWF.

CHIP BOOTS: Voting ECW number one is just my way of saying goodbye to the
most innovative promotion ever.

SCOTT WORDEN: Best organization?????  I think this may be the last time
this is part of the awards..  WWF is always my favorite..

NATRBOY72: WWF and Toryumon put on the best shows top to bottom in 2001
getting first and second.  NOAH also did some good things making new
stars, using outsiders, and working with Zero One (and a few really dumb
things like giving Honda a title shot) for third.  It's hard to believe
how far New Japan has slipped.

CANZ: EMLL is the best promotion because it's the only one I even bother
to watch. Let the snobs have their all-workrate promotions and let the
sheep enjoy the circus of the WWF- I will take a balance between the two.

DONNY L: WWF by default I guess

SIMON GRIER: The most obvious no-brainer of a catergory since Hogan was
still around to win "Least Favourite." Up until Rock went off to make
movies the WWF was off the scale in awesomeness this year. They then
dipped a bit until the Great Canadian Elevation before the Invasion set in
- this was a bit substandard but still fresh and exciting. WCW was
probably better in its dying days than at any time in its history, with
lots of great matches and slow but sure elevation of talent in favour of
the old guard. ECW died a shadow of its former self but still provided
more entertainment in three months than XPW will in a lifetime. I don't
watch Puro.

ESTRAGAND: WWF as best AND Worst? sure. When they were on, nobody was
better.. and when they suck, they excel at that, too.

BRIAN SCALA: USA Pro Wrestling charts by default. There is such a small
number of nationally, recognized wrestling organizations that unless WCW
is re-born & Hogan's group starts in 2002, the categories for Best/Worst
Organization should be eliminated. The WWF was really the best & worst fed
at times. They, too, win by default.

JOHN C.: Gee, I wonder who is going to win this one.

CHRIS LENING: If November of 2001 had been included in the time period,
then CMLL would win on my ballot, but the suckiness of this month does not
count, so I cannot knock the many enjoyable shows I did see.

RYAN FAULCONER: New Japan, match for match, had the best company this
year. EMLL has the world's largest roster and can entertain from top to
bottom like only New Japan can.

WILL SCHLICKENMAIER: ECWA has been the single most entertaining and
interesting promotion around this year, single-handedly responsible for
bringing a strong-style spirit to independent wrestling in lieu of the
highspots which had dominated before.
