I think I heard the commentators saying something about it on Raw, but I think I had just started to fast-forward when they mentioned it. | |

| I like the ECW commentary team. Especially Matt Striker, because he resisted temptation to be a heel commentator and is really good at what he does. | |

| Hardly matters in a way though.
Just giving a nod to ECW really, people are hardly gonna tune in because of good commentators but they can get new ECW fans by promoting themselves on Raw.
Have to remember these awards are not actual awards as such, each award has some motive behind it.
That's my theory anyway lol. | |

| Why so shocked Leak, take a look at what I said would happen a few days ago with regards to the Slammys!
They give them to guys who need noticed yet don't have titles
I think Punk and Beth are the only two who have titles and got awards, Punk got his because they see him long term as a single and its only tag gold he has and I think they are going to turn Beth face and thats why she got her award!
Santino will become increasingly jealous of her and possibly cost her the womans title within the next couple of weeks | |

| Basically giving that particular award to either JR and Tazz or King and Cole really wouldn't benefit them in the slightest.
Also playing the two big brands off with each other may not be the wisest idea either, be a bit rude if either of the major pair of announcers lost. | |

| What I didn't like was Lawler in his reaction to ECW winning!
There was a lot of muffled sniggers from Lawler and even some too from Taz who should remember himself as well!
If this was worked then fair play to both of them particularly Lawler however I think it was more of an actual real shock that they could have given them the award!
Personally I thought they would have given it to Ross as a 'thank-you' for sending him off to SmackDown! | |

| Lawler is terrible and has been for some time, he always seems to start a sentance and then just...... Stop!
Was glad to see a little realism in theese awards, rather than them just going to the face that i was expecting them to go to | |

| Was really surprised that Jericho won Superstar of the Year. He is a heel who doesn't need the rub of winning a Slammy. I thought it would either go to HHH for obvious reasons and the fact that he held the WWE title for 7-8 months. I also thought it might go to Batista to keep him happy and to further push his main event status. Was also surprised by the Commentator award. I thought they would give JR a Slammy as a thank you for all the work he has done. Also, what is the difference between an OMG and a DAMN moment? | |

I was thinking about this abit ago, during a Diva match (notice how he barely say's owt during them? Lol), he started off saying something and just stopped... It got me thinking how he was gold at his one liner's and inuendo was at one point, but maybe he has Vince on the other end these day's telling him to stop when he start's saying anything 'risque' in his new kid friendly 'WWE Universe'... Propper dodgy, but ya can tell some thing aint right, maybe he just cant be arsed nowaday's?????? | |

| Could be both lol, told to tone it down, so he just loses interest in the whole job, saying that though, I cant see Vince getting rid of him, although Id love to hear Tony Schivone or Bobby Heenan (if his jaw isn't still knackered) heading up the Raw announce team (it's beyond me why they didn't snap 'em up after the WCW payout). | |

| thats the thing about Lawler, he was only good when delivering innuendo or being allowed to go over board, with Bobby Heenan, he was the ultimate heel who didn't need to say cheap things to get over, he knew how to play the heel perfectly and enjoy doing it as well!
As for Innuendo, I agree that Vince probably didn't want Lawler making any suggestive comments, however he had no problem in allowing or possibly telling Candice to make a very suggestive comment while presenting the awards on RAW
