From the Best TV Show to the Worst Feud and beyond, we navigate through the layers of voting, questioning the logic and rationale behind many of these choices. Highlights include discussions on the most overrated and underrated wrestlers, the best and worst gimmicks, and the overarching promotional tactics that left us scratching our heads.
