Nick’s Picks: The 2009 WWE Slammy Awards

By Nick Paglino

Extreme Moment of the Year:

This one has to go to Jeff Hardy in the TLC match he had against CM Punk at Summerslam. The dive he took off the enormous ladder crashing Punk through the announce table was arguably the most extreme moment of Jeff Hardy’s extreme career, and it was definitely the most extreme moment of this year. The problem here, though, is that I doubt WWE will actually give the award to Jeff (I suppose they could always give it to Punk since he was involved in the moment) because Hardy doesn’t work for the company anymore. An honorable mention in this category, and a sufficient runner-up to the Hardy moment, I think, would be Big Show choke slamming John Cena through the giant spotlight at Backlash.
