Nick’s Picks: The 2009 WWE Slammy Awards

By Nick Paglino

Best Musical Performance:

This is a bizarre category, because last year’s winner was R-Truth, and yet he is the only wrestler on the WWE roster that incorporate singing into his gimmick. He has a chance at repeating this year, as I’m hard pressed to actually name a musical performance by a wrestler this year that is worthy of an award, or that was not meant as a joke. I’ll tell you who most certainly does NOT deserve it and probably will at least get nominated as he’s being pushed as a baby face right now, and that’s Mark Henry. His rapping on Raw was a disaster, and did nothing to help get him over.
