Much Later: Lucha Awards Elsewhere

Didn’t get a chance to do this previously.

Information taken from Doctor Lao’s Intern (WON), RSPW.org and a list of magazine awards passed to me by a third party but I believe typed up by Steve Sims. For the WON and RSPW awards, I’m listing their highest eligible winner as the lucha pick of the year.

It should go without saying, but every voting group has it’s own biases and problems. And for a lot of the RSPW awards (which run from 12/04 to 11/05), they appear to just be what I voted for, because of the lack of other people who watched lucha voting.
