I hadn't watched him in New Japan. So when I saw his match against Kenny last year I thought that Ospreay was a good heel. I figured we'd see him as a heel this year. But the way he delivers promos and wrestles, I am totally happy if he waits another year for a heel turn. So good, and a well deserved win for Ospreay
These awards always finger! In all seriousness, thanks so much for all the laughs and content this year lads. You've helped make 2024 far better than it had any right being.
Most underrated should've absolutely been, Gable Steveson. That match he had with Baron Corbin was probably match of the year, 7 star instant classic. That guys future is bright in WWE
I feel like people forget that the Punk & Drew feud isn't actually really just them. The whole year has had the theme of Punk v Drew v Seth, the emphasis has just been on Drew and Punk's interactions. That Summerslam match was exceptional from a story perspective
My favorite match of the year was actually Takeshita vs ospreay vs ricochet, but that’s mostly because I was there live and Takeshita is my favorite wrestler right now. But boy, was it magical seeing him win. Made up for watching danielson die lol
Feud of the year has to be maffew vs ethan page. The levels of storytelling and the slight nuances have to make this rivalry one to last years, if not a lifetime
Most Underrated: Chad Gable Most Improved: Solo Sikoa Most Charismatic: Drew Mcintyre Best Non-wrestler: Samantha Irvin Best Gimmick: The Prodigy Roxanne Perez Feud of the Year: Drew vs. Punk Tag-Team of the Year: Fraxiom Show of the Year: NXT Heatwave Match of the Year: Oba Femi vs Dijak vs Josh Briggs Promotion of the Year: NXT Wrestler of the Year: Oba Femi
WWE (or WWF at the time) is the reason I fell in love with wrestling. I stuck through some genuinely atrocious times (2019 anyone?) and adored AEW for the first 3 years of its existence. But personally the last 2 years of WWE have been the closest I've felt to wrestling recapturing my childhood since the graps found its way back into my life. I think it's absolutely okay to extol the virtues of a wrestling promotion whilst still simultaneously denegrating those who created it, and many of those (Bruce Prichard cough cough) who still inhabit the beast. Own your appreciation of an excellent product. Choosing to act reluctantly when giving the promotion praise only fuels the tribalism, whether meant in jest or whimsy (looking at you Jack) or not.
My promotion of the year is Chocopro, in being the only Japanese promotion that managed to get their belts to the right (and deserving) wrestlers without stalling on the decision for too long (or not at all). I also appreciate that this"ll annoy Jack.
Underrated: Gable Improved: Dom Mysterio Charismatic: McIntyre Non-Wrestler: Nana Gimmick: "Timeless" Toni Storm Feud: Punk vs. McIntyre Tag Team: The Outrunners Show: All In - London II Match: Bryan vs. Swerve Promotion: AEW Wrestler: Ospreay
“Hollywood” Jack the Jobber has the best backstage politicker Culty on lock for dodging going to the Italian restaurant with his laptop… Here’s to the NXT sweep for this awards season! Edit: I'm shocked that NXT Heatwave wasn't mentioned for show of the year
A great show, with great picks and winners. My own picks for each category... Most Underrated: Hank & Tank Most Improved: Tiffany Stratton Most Charismatic: The Outrunners Best Non-wrestler: Jessika Carr Best Gimmick: The Outrunners Feud of the Year: Drew vs. Punk Tag-Team of the Year: The Outrunners Show of the Year: AEW Revolution Match of the Year: Bron vs. Ludwig vs. Sheamus Promotion of the Year: WWE Wrestler of the Year: Will Ospreay
Number 1 Jinder Mahal He got a World title Program A Segment with the Rock and the OPPOSITION got him over to the point in January people went "Jinders 2017 run wasnt that bad" Tony gave the world of wrestling collective amnesia
There should be a separate female version for each award. People most of the time you only put in male wrestlers and disregard the female wrestlers. Like most charismatic should have been Chelsea green. But doesn’t get mentioned. 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
I'm confused as to why the Mox stuff is getting praised? it's some of the worst stuff I've seen at the top of a card since 2000 WCW. The Mox stuff is actively running off 30 percent of the fans.
Jack yearns to be viewed as "cool" by the internet wrestling people more than anything. Maybe if he took that DAMN LAPTOP TO AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT THEY'D THINK HE WAS COOL! Anyway, congrats on the Culties once again!
She did like it its just not the job she wanted to do forever its sorta like the dog who caught the car realized she could drive it and got in and left home. Glad for her and proud of her and Hubby for making more humans.
50:10 Will Ospreay’s promos are horribly bad. I cannot stand him on the microphone. Maybe that’s an Aussie thing, but he is so freakin grating I usually turn it off.
I'm hoping (WWE) Creative give Jade Cargill (💪🏾)🏆. Some of the (NXT) toughest which are Kali Armstrong (💪🏾) & Tyra Steele (💪🏾) as a Crew! Kali Armstrong wrestles like the female Booker-T! Literally
Maffews honorable mention of Ricky Starks for non-wrestler genuinely made me spit out my tea. Well played sir.
Up the Culties!
RIP: The Diddlies.
Let's all hope 2025 well and truly FINGERS!
It will finger vigorously
Rivalry of the Year: the Tag Team of Jack and his laptop vs. Every Italian Restaurant in Newcastle!
I hadn't watched him in New Japan. So when I saw his match against Kenny last year I thought that Ospreay was a good heel. I figured we'd see him as a heel this year. But the way he delivers promos and wrestles, I am totally happy if he waits another year for a heel turn. So good, and a well deserved win for Ospreay
The culty for the host that didn't do a punishment goes to ... Jack the jobber
These awards always finger! In all seriousness, thanks so much for all the laughs and content this year lads. You've helped make 2024 far better than it had any right being.
Thanks
This podcast has aged like fine wine. Fine boxed wine. Cheers diddlers! Keep, keeping on :)

😂😂😂
Diddler for H.O.F!
You guys only uploaded a quarter of the podcast this week, can't wait for the rest!
I am so damn thankful for this podcast.

This would be so much better with 4 or 5 of the presenters on it giving their picks rather than just 2.

Feud of the year: Tony Khan vs Viewers
Sadly, the viewers didn't show up for this fight as TK brutalized them.
It's what we want to happen 🎉🎉🎉 😂 Happy holidays.
Loved the WIZARD OF OZ rendition you guys did. Witch of West Hollywood 😂😂😂
I know who DIDN'T win the Culty for taking their laptop to an Italian restaurant!
It's Ross, isn't it?? Damn it, Ross!
DPW mention love to see it. Need a chris danger interview guys
My God, it’s here
I love this podcast!! hope u all had a great holiday
Maffew’s jumper is HoF worthy 👌
I do feel that both WWE and TNA dropped the ball with Hendry.
Thanks for the news
We have been waiting for this. Let's gooooo diddlers unite!
Is there also a podcast for the shows this week? Or no? (I am not complaining I understand it’s the holidays I’m just genuinely curious)
You have my undivided attention for the next hour. There may or may not be questions later on.
Shot out Fraxiom before anything they are the best
Hold on!!!! I've been out of touch, I'm still catching up this last month😭😭
I’m holding my Slammy and Culty right now BOTCHAMANIA
Is Matthew slowly morphing into T Kahn?
Jack breaking 3 times in the first minute pops me
Engagement for the algorithm
i’ve waited all year for this
No honorable mention for the Darby vs death riders feud?
Diddler where I live means something different I think. More associated with the clergy.;) lol
For a split second, I thought that L was an N.
Goat podcast 🐐

Gabe Kidd most improved
Should have best wrestler male and female, and split it by promotion
Do a video looking at the best wrestler of every year
TITUS ALEXANDER MENTIONED🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Why did WWE re-sign Chad? Almost like there is a competitor you dont want him to go to

"He bleeds orange. Like a Jaffa Cake." - Jack about Maffew
Jack is very right.
"AEW have closed the gap since the Moxley storyline"...????
Number 1
Jinder Mahal
He got a World title Program
A Segment with the Rock and the OPPOSITION got him over to the point in January people went "Jinders 2017 run wasnt that bad"
Tony gave the world of wrestling collective amnesia
Jacks reaction to "Diddlers"
The thumbnail has so much warmth to it 😭😭
Jack I recognize Titus Alexander 😊 (from his Noah match with tavion heights which ironically wasn’t great)
Great opener.
Jack needs to bring back wrestler of the week
Glad my Oba Femi tip paid off, up the Culties!
Happy holidays lads!!!!!
This is my favourite non-ice cream based wrestling awards show
0:04 Jack is all of us
I am playing TEW IX and I signed Titus Alexander for AEW
for promotion of the year i just wanna shoutout rev pro they had a very very good year
Jack really phoned it in this year, sad
45:57 TNA has been the number 2 promotion. Scott was gone right after rebrand so just shows he doesn't watch

Maybe if he took that DAMN LAPTOP TO AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT THEY'D THINK HE WAS COOL!
Anyway, congrats on the Culties once again!
Diddlers! Is he referring to Diddler Dom (⚖️)?
🤣😆😅😅😆🤣
She did like it its just not the job she wanted to do forever its sorta like the dog who caught the car realized she could drive it and got in and left home.
Glad for her and proud of her and Hubby for making more humans.
This was a waste of my time.
50:10 Will Ospreay’s promos are horribly bad. I cannot stand him on the microphone.
Maybe that’s an Aussie thing, but he is so freakin grating I usually turn it off.
First, up the lads
Barf
You weren't even.
I'm hoping (WWE) Creative give Jade Cargill (💪🏾)🏆. Some of the (NXT) toughest which are Kali Armstrong (💪🏾) & Tyra Steele (💪🏾) as a Crew!
Kali Armstrong wrestles like the female Booker-T! Literally
Revolution was NOT show of the year
WWE on top!!
Any AEW “wrestler” being on this list shows why culatholic is pathetic
