>>THE B4 AWARDS<<

“Live from Memorial Hall in beautiful Joplin, Missouri – this is the B4 Awards!”

Welcome one and all to the B4 Awards! I’m your host, word2k9. This has truly been a long time coming. I’m sure you’ve all been ripe with anticipation waiting on this show to air. Well, wait no more! B4 stands for Bloggers of 4Down. It is also symbolic in that it is before the other annual wrestling-related award shows. The B4 Awards recognize the users of this site who have worked extremely hard to produce a product that we all can participate in and enjoy. Several of Fourdown’s members will be here to present awards tonight. We also have a few surprises in store for you, so be sure to stick around. Without further ado, let’s get to our first award of the evening.

Presenting the award for Freshest Idea, Mike Adamle

Adamle – Thank you, thank you, please save your applause for the nominees. Now I’m sure you all remember me from the original American Gladiators, but some of my best work came when I worked for WWE. As Raw General Manager, I came up with several innovative matches that had never been seen before. Anyone remember the Championship scramble matches? That was all me. The users of Fourdown have come up with several original ideas of their own. Let’s take a look at the nominees for Freshest Idea.

Fourdown Life Stories – This is a blog show unlike any other created by kaihtafc. It is a show in which kai interviews other users of Fourdown and digs into their real life to reveal a side we may not have known before.

The Chat Room – cletus42o decided it would be feasible to include a chat room on this already expansive site. It has turned out to be an excellent idea. Several people can be found in the chat room at any time for a quicker form of dialogue than the pm’s have offered.

The 4Down Hall of Fame – Not to be confused with the HoF found at the bottom of the homepage, this is BingBong’s creation. This entity is a new way to honor the greats of the site. They receive recognition as hall of famers and an insignia to use under their name for all of their posts.

Craig’s Cookie Corner/Random Thoughts Blogs – One day, CraigLovesCookiesAndHeath decided to make a blog show about random things that popped in his head. Surprisingly, this turned out to be a hit and other users used this format for their own blogs.

The award for Freshest Idea goes to……..The Chat Room!!!

Word2k9 – Wow, Mike Adamle was here. What, we couldn’t book Vickie Guerrero? Well, this next presenter is someone we all know and love. He doesn’t love us back, however, because he only loves cookies and Heath.

CraigLovesCookiesAndHeath - Hello everybody, I'm CraigLovesCookiesAndHeath, and the only reason I'm still called that is cos I can't change my username anymore! Hooray!

Y'know, when Word messaged me asking if I could present a B4, I asked what I had to do and he explained it too me, adding onto the end "I can give you an easy one if you want to do it." Glad you have a lot confidence in me dude...

Nevertheless, I am here to present an easy award! The award Best Fourdown site feature!

And the Nominees are:
PPV Prediction Game!
One of the main attractions of the site, being where you enter your predictions for each WWE and TNA Pay-Per-View! T'is very good for challenging people and stuff :)

Blogs!
Yes, the Blogs! Where most 4downers make their name with Blog shows! Some of those being The very good show "Big Bubba", or "123 is this extreme?" which is eh... Moving on!

4-UP!

4-UP is like Deal or no Deal, you can either pick Random boxes (or wrestlers) or you can use a "system" That system being not wanting to admit you're just gonna pick them at random... Great explanation there Craig. Yes, Basically, you go to the drop down menu, press "John Cena" then you get some points :)

Fantasy Blog Shows!

Yes, the Fantasy Blog Shows! Where nearly ALL 4downers make a name for themselves. Many famous fantasy shows have been created here, including *WORD, CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, I AINT THAT GOOD ON BLOG SHOWS, AND CUT THIS BIT OUT* WWE ALPHA, BETA and GAMMA by TheProdigyCJB kaihtafc and edawg32 and FWF, made my some Scottish guy.

Before I announce the winner, I would like to thank Word for letting me present this award and attempt to be funny for however long it's taken me to write this thing :) and somehow I haven't mentioned Cookies or Heath! :D

AND, THE WINNER IS.... HEATH SLATER!

Nah I'm kidding, I'm sorry, this is just taking the biscuit... or taking the cookie ;)

The Award for Best Site Feature goes to…The Pay Per View Prediction Game!!!

Word2k9 – It looks like Cletus is 2 for 2. He won’t win the next award, because he isn’t nominated for it. Muahahaha……er…..here’s BingBong!

Hi everyone, first of all I'd like to thank word2k9 for choosing me to present this award. Now the nominees for Biggest Impact are...

FWF – This show was originally created by robbiecam21 then I created a show to rival it, now they are being run by MajicMan and Whammer1. It uses members from the site as superstars creating fantasy rivalry's between users. I was certainly one of my most memorable experiences.

Unknowner – just a while ago a new concept came to us in the form of somebody with a secret identity giving us codes and hints as to who it might be. This got the whole site intrigued and has been adapted for a second time showing it was definitely a big impact.

DashingChuggsRhodes – “Woah you're only smoke and mirrors” This guy took the style of character of the Dashing Cody Rhodes and brought us some great moments since his arrival on 4Down, including the Divas Goblet fun and Dashing Disaster of the week.

The New Leagues – with some encouragement from site management several new leagues have come to light recently such as Self High Five and Big Shows big league. They have been shocking the site by taking on some of the bigger leagues and winning.

The award for Biggest Impact goes to…The FWF!!!

Word2k9 – The moment when the FWF was created was a great one in my life. This next award deals with the opposite of that. Here to present the B4 Award for Worst Moment, Scott Hall!

Hall – Hey yo! I’ve had some good times in the wrestling business and I’ve had some rough times, you know. The important thing in having a bad moment is learning from it. These moments may not have went the way people expected, but maybe we all can take something positive away from them. Here’s the nominees for Worst Moment.

Fantasy Blog Show Exodus – Ever since the first Fantasy Blog Shows were created here on Fourdown, they’ve been a trendy project to jump on and try. Some have stayed with it, others have bailed, but a few months ago, we could count on one hand how many active blog shows were left. Luckily, we have recovered and are now undergoing a Fantasy Evolution!

Collapse of the Wednesday Night Wars – The authors of WWE Alpha and Gamma, TheProdigyCJB and edawg32, joined jmt5887 in creating a 3-way battle for ratings known as the Wednesday Night Wars. Unfortunately, the idea never stuck and what seemed to be a surefire hit imploded.

The unknowner Fiasco – Another failed idea happened when robbiecam21 created a separate account and named himself unknowner. He knew enough about the users of Fourdown to get in their heads and remain mysterious. Some users didn’t take this so well and a blogger catfight ensued.

Name Change Abuse/Loss of Privilege – Changing your username used to be allowed and was in place in case it needed to be done. But when a few users abused the privilege by changing their name multiple times per week, the feature was taken away. Some users were hilariously left with less than flattering usernames in the aftermath.

And the award for Worst Moment goes to…The Collapse of the Wednesday Night Wars!!!

Word2k9 – That was an idea with a lot of potential. The next award is all about potential. It’s the B4 Award for Blogger with the Most Potential! And here to present the award, former WWE Diva, Candice Michelle!

Candice – When I debuted in the WWE, I was told that I had the potential to be one of the greatest divas in WWE history. It’s anyone’s opinion if I lived up to the hype or not. These bloggers have shown that they have the potential to be some of the best bloggers in Fourdown history. Let’s see if they have what it takes. The nominees for Blogger with the Most Potential are…

Malkore – Malkore broke into serious blogging in April with the debut of SvR2011 Wrestling Federation, where he would post what happened during a week of playing the Smackdown vs Raw video game. He has now snatched a spot in the Fantasy Evolution, writing WWE Epsilon.

Karlson – karlson started a few projects on the site and even got involved in Big Bubba, but soon after he was never heard from again. Have we seen the last of karlson?

AwesomePerfection12 – AwesomePerfection12 hasn’t done too much on the site. His potential comes in being related to TheMajicMan. It truly is unknown if he has any talent or not.

Cymru96 – cymru96 has already created several different blog shows. He has run the UTR weekly fantasy blog show, he gives his opinion in the Say What show, and he is now running the Wrestling Mafia show. He has already solidified himself as an active member of Fourdown.

And the award for Blogger with the Most Potential goes to…cymru96!!!

Word2k9 – Congratulations to cymru96. Speak of the devil, he is presenting the next award!

Hey everyone, it’s me, cymru96 and I’m here at the first ever b4 awards! The show’s great by the way and it’s about to get better after this award. It’s the award for the Most Dilligent Commenter. This award is for the person who comments regularly, and shows good intelligence. This ranges from giving opinions on certain topics or just saying something clever that provoke’s reaction.

Speaking of provoking reactions, here is the first nominee. He is the one-and-only @MiniJackBauer@. MJB, the master of spoilers, talks a lot, mostly about him being awesome! He does say say some sensible things on occaisions, and that is why he is a nominee.
The second nominee is the creator of the B4 awards,

word2k9. word, comments politely, and gets straight to the point. Although he is polite, if he has a point to make, he will make it. He displays knowledge and makes good points. A worthy candidate.

Next up is the man of many names jmt5887. You may know him as ThePretender, huskyjmt or diamondjt5887. jmt clearly knows a lot about wrestling and the wrestling business and he clearly shows this when commenting. He has made lots of great points in his comments, and, although they sometimes sparks controversy, they are always worth reading.

Last but not least is the newest of the candidates, DangerousDan. He is less frequent in posting blogs but makes up for it with his well thought out comments. He displays great knowledge and always makes valid points. He is a definite candidate.

This must surely have been a close call because all four deserve to win.

And the award for Most Diligent Commenter goes to…jmt5887!!!

Word2k9 – A well-deserved win for jmt5887. Now to change up the pace, this next award is not for bloggers. It’s for the Best 4-Up Fantasy Wrestling User. Here to present the award is none other than the animal, Batista!

Batista – Well there’s no question to how these users do so well at the 4-Up game. They obviously pick me every week. Actually, I wouldn’t advise that right now. Here are the nominees for Best 4-Up Fantasy Wrestling User.

Klinik – Currently 9th in 4-Up for season 11, klinik is keeping up his high standards. He has an average finish of 6th over the past 3 seasons.

Icballer04 – In the top 3 all-time for 4-Up scoring, Icballer04 can always be found near the top of the rankings. This season is no different, as he is currently in 7th.

Wwefan18 – wwefan18 won season 8 of 4-Up Fantasy Wrestling. He also came in second for season 10. This kind of success led to him being 2nd all-time in 4-Up Fantasy scoring.

NeedRepairs – 1st place all-time, 1st season 10, 1st season 9, 1st season 5, 1st currently in season 11….need I say more?

And the award for Best 4-Up Fantasy Wrestling User goes to…oh, a surprise…Icballer04!!!

Word2k9 – That doesn’t seem right, but nonetheless, congratulations to Icballer04! The next award is for Most Controversial. And to present it, we brought in someone who has stirred up plenty of controversy in his day, Raven!

Raven – Award shows are the world’s pathetic attempt at putting undeserving people up on a pedestal. Those with true insight like myself can see right through these false accolades. At least this award has some merit to it. And the nominees for Most Controversial are…

Kaihtafc – The once self-proclaimed king of controversy has had plenty of moments that can be considered controversial. He’s not afraid to tell you how he feels and if that upsets you, then so be it. Maybe you need to learn a lesson, kid!

ItsFRIDAYFRIDAYRebeccaBlack – The also self-proclaimed king of controversy may just be that. Or he could just be the one who gets under people’s skin the easiest. What’s the word for that? Irritant?

HallOfFamer176 – Good ole Mitch has retired from the site. He took his Hall of Fame status and left. He’s still around in spirit (and as a Fantasy Evolution advisor). But he has had as many heated debates on the site as anyone. Opinionated is an understatement.

Jmt5887 – Diamondjt will tell you how it is, especially if you’re wrong. He will be sure you know what is right and will argue it to the death if need be, but he has a way of making his opinions known.

Kaihtafc wins this useless award, quote the Raven nevermore.

Word2k9 – Raven may not be back next year folks. Let’s go to Whammer1 for some uplifting!

The award that I, Whammer1, will be presenting is for the Most Improved League, and these 4 leagues really are something special. In a world dominated by one large league, we all know who they are, these 4 have proved that even though they may be smaller, they have more desire, and have earned a special place in everyone’s heart. The nominees are:

Europe’s Elite- I may be a part of this ever growing league, but I’m not going to be biased and tell you to vote for them. Let their accomplishments speak for themselves. Last season, this band of European predictors managed to come second in the overall standings, and who can forget their rivalry with EV 3.0, which ended in a Wrestlemania win for EE.

EV 3.0- The aforementioned made quite a stir in the FWF Universe when @MiniJackBauer@ decided to challenge almost all the leagues with his small group, but even though the constant bragging got a little annoying at times, they proved their worth and are always a strong competitor when it comes to predicting.

Big Show’s Big League- word2k9 has done a great job in creating a competitive league and at the time of writing, BSBL hold second place in the overall standings, staving off all the competition. A huge effort by this very talented bunch of predictors, and they have a very bright future ahead of them.

And finally, Self High Five- Last but not least, we have Self High Five. Having produced bloggers such as Ashley, JoeSchmo and of course, jmy5887, this league has some of the best talent around, and even though currently, they are only 7th in the overall standings, the sky’s the limit for them.

You’ve seen the nominees, now it’s time for you, the FWF Universe to vote for your choice.

And the award for Most Improved League goes to…EV 3.0!!!

Word2k9 – Yeah, they’re ok. They would be even better if they could add the guys from our next category to their league. We’re moving on to Best Pay Per View Prediction Game User, and to present the award, we have Diamond Dallas Page!

DDP – BANG!!! What’s happening? DDP here with the info you need to know. We have 4 outstanding contenders for the award. No one predicts a PPV like DDP, but here are the nominees for Best Pay Per View Prediction Game User!

NeedRepairs – He was also nominated for Best 4-Up User, but that didn’t turn out so well, so let’s see how he does here. He is 2nd all-time in points for the game. He won WWE part and the whole game in season 3 and he won the TNA part and the whole game in season 7.

BSCool – BSCool won the first Wrestlemania prediction game. He also won season 10 overall. He is 7th all-time in points.

CMShowstopper – He finished 3rd overall in season 10. He also finished 2nd in the TNA part for season 8.

Magic8Ball – Currently ranked 516th. 338th in season 10. 425th all-time. I’m not sure what got him this nomination, but he was nominated, so good job.

And the award for Best Pay Per View Prediction User goes to…Magic8Ball…wait let me check that again…yeah, it says Magic8Ball!!!

Word2k9- What the hell is going on here? Did Magic8Ball find some way to vote 500 times? Is there something special he did to deserve this that I don’t know about? Oh well, who am I to judge? Congrats, Magic8Ball! Now here’s jimsta with Best New Blog Show!

Hey guys! Running a blog show is tough and sucks up alot of your time and attention, as we can see by these mindless zombies we have for nominees. I know you guys have allready seen some immensly great veteran shows of fourdown, but how about we see some of the new shows?!? The nominees for Best New Blog Show are......

....edawg32 with Dick & John's 2 Cents [Its a show where Dick & John share...well their 2 cents. They give thier opinion on what will happen at PPV's or other events. Brilantly written by edawg, it feel as thier are actually 2 different people]

....TheProdigyCJB with The Next Fantasy Writer [Prodigy pits some of best fantasy writers and some of our new writers against each other. He tests them in a variety of situations to make sure they are the next fantasy writer!]

....cymru96 with UTR [cymru writes the only traditional fantasy blog show nominated here tonight. What would happen if the risters of all the promotions merged? UTR would happen.]

and....Malkore with SvR2011 Wrestling Federation [Malkore uses Smackdown .VS. Raw's story mode to create crazy matchs and promos of which he shares with all of us. Even allowing input from you, can it get any cooler?]

And the award for Best New Blog Show goes to…The Next Fantasy Writer!!!

Word2k9 – The next category is for Best Moment. Maybe it happened during this blog! Probably not. Here to present the award is Torrie Wilson!

Torrie – Wow, this place is pretty small. Maybe cozy is a better word. Anyways, here are the nominees for Best Moment.

The Debut of Cookie Corner – People really loved the crazy random thoughts that came into Craig’s head. Let’s see more of these!

HallOfFamer176 is the inaugural nominee into the 4Down Hall of Fame – This was a great way to recognize what people have done for the site. Let’s see more of these!

EV 3.0 is #1 in Average League Scoring at Against All Odds – This was probably all Blake. He probably was number one and everyone else sucked. Let’s see more of these!

Kaihtafc wins the admin position of Europe’s Elite at Wrestlemania – kaihtafc and HallOfFamer176 battled it out in the prediction game to see who would be Europe’s Elite’s admin. Let’s see more of these!

And the award for Best Moment goes to…EV 3.0!!!

Word2k9 – I hope Torrie is ok. She’s never been the brightest bulb in the lamp. The next award is for Best New Blogger. This is different than Best Potential Blogger, believe me. Here’s Blake.

So what’s up my dudes? I am here to present the reward for the B4 awards. The category is best new blogger. Tough one here. That’s talk about each nominee.

Karlson- Well he’s only posted a few blogs here but the 4Downation seemed to love them. He might have a little advantage since he’s my brother and everyone loves me so they might think he’s cool. But yeah if he blogged more often he could be one of the best on the site.


Cymru96- The dude from Wales. M&Ms. Welsh Mason Ryan and most importantly La Resistance are good words to describe Elis. Lol but anyways he’s a good blogger and a diligent commenter. Whatever diligent means. I’ll google it. Anyways yeah he has a successful fantasy blog show called UTR I think. But yes Elis is a good blogger and definitely a worthy candidate.


Dare2Believe- Well, What up with that? Anyone get that joke anyone? Really? Someone? Anyways Dare2Believe is definitely a great blogger and a Diligent (from google.. Having or showing care and conscientiousness in one's work) Commenter. He also has a show where celebrity’s fight each other it’s cool surprisingly I haven’t been on it yet but I will Trust me.


Jamie5150- Well he beat me in Big Bubba season 2 so everyone don’t vote for him! Haha Just kidding Jamie is cool. He is a really good fantasy and non- fantasy blogger. He’s just like Steinersaysuhhhh he doesn’t post regularly but when he does post it’s really worth reading! Good candidate totally worth this award.

Everyone is worthy of this award. But only one can win it. Good luck to everyone!

And the award for Best New Blogger goes to…jaime5150!!!

Word2k9 – It looks like Jaime will be able to put those skills to work in WWE Alpha! The three biggest awards of the night are the only ones left. To present the award for Best Fantasy Blog Show, we wanted to get someone special, but all we could get was Shawn Michaels!

HBK – Well, well, well…what do we have here? Fantasy Blog Shows huh? What are those? I’ve been in a fantasy world for the past 25 years entertaining millions of people around the world. I can understand when people want to live out their fantasies. So here are the nominees for Best Fantasy Blog Show.

WWE Alpha & Gamma – These two shows have been run in coordination with one another and therefore were combined even though they were both nominated. Edawg32 and TheProdigyCJB have done a great job running these shows for more than a year.

FWF Revolution Part 2 – Whammer1 took over for BingBong and has been regularly posting ever since. I don’t think the show has taken a hit at all.

FWF Shutdown: Part 2 – The original FWF brand switched hands from robbiecam21 to TheMajicMan and while it hasn’t been around lately, it made a huge impact when it was.

And the award for Best Fantasy Blog Show goes to…FWF Shutdown: Part 2!!!

Word2k9 – I think we are all looking forward to Shutdown resuming. For Best Non-Fantasy Blog Show, here’s edawg32!

Well one of the best parts about the b4 awards here on 4Down is the best non-fantasy show. Now here our the nominees for the best non-fantasy show.

The McCFred Show
Big Bubba
What's Up with That?
Hall of Fame 101


Let's take a look at each show:

The McCFred Show
-The McCFred Show was a great talk show here on 4Down. McCFred was never afraid to give his opinion on everything that happened in the WWE. It was a great show that eventually welcomed guest stars from the 4Down site. The McCFred Show is certaintly a top notch nominee.

Big Bubba
-Well this show challenged many here on 4Down. Coming from me, the Season 1 Big Bubba winner, it was never easy. @HallOfFamer176@ started the show and it was later carried on by jmt5887 and remains a top show. Big Bubba changed 4Down with all the great blogs that were posted on each opinion. The master-mind @HallOfFamer176@ started a great show on 4Down and now its inline to possibly be the best non-fantasy blog show.

What's Up With That?
-Well really What's Up With That? Christian robbed out of the World Heavyweight Championship five days after winning it? Anyway, this show was the stir up show. dare2believe gave his opinion on a certain someone or certain matter and made the 4Down crowd take notice. From his start to bagging on Vickie Guerrero, he has made a name for himself and show. So What's Up With That? I'll tell ya what's up, this guy go win this nominee.

Hall of Fame 101
-A true respect towards the WWE Hall of Famers. Not only did wwefan18 talk about the careers of these Hall of Famers, but there lives as well. He described each of there careers in there own words. From Stone Cold to Shawn Michaels, this show has payed his dues. This show is a great possibility for non-fantasy blog show of the year.

And the award for Best Non-Fantasy Blog Show goes to…The McCFred Show!!!

Word2k9 – McCFred is very talented as are all of our nominees here tonight. One to go, and it is the big daddy. Best Overall Blogger. This category had 8 nominees instead of the typical 4. Here to present the award is Chris Benoit..uhhh..Jericho….Chris Jericho….:s
