For the month of December, I have been holding year end polls on our Facebook page. Thanks to Twitter, the voting went better than expected.
Throughout the month various celebrities (@NatbyNature, @BrookeTess), podcasts (@ftwpodcast, @gleefulpodcast, @eastcoastcast) and fans of various bands and artists have retweeted, liked and shared our page and voting numbers on some categories were higher than I even thought.
While the polls are closed, I will leave the ballots up to show the legitimacy of the results.
So let's go into the final results...
What a crazy, emotional year. Honestly it's rough to really look past all the negative in 2012. Outside of the President Obama reelection, the year was filled with sadness, murder and destruction.
This year, no one was safe from crazy gunmen. Whether it was going to the movies, going to church or even sending your kids to school, everything was ruined for all if us. With all the major shootings, it was hard to really list them individually. Honestly it's hard to say much else that hasn't already been said. From Sandy Hook to Aurora, Colorado to the local Sikh Temple and every soul lost in between, my thoughts and prayers are out there and these tragedies should never be forgotten.
But to me, the visual of the Seaside Boardwalk destroyed won't ever leave my mind as the moment of the year. Hurricane Sandy changed everything up and down the Eastern seaboard. Death, destruction, waves, floods, power outages and the horrific outcome. The biggest storm in over 100 years destroyed buildings, attractions, washed away homes but the memories will never leave our hearts.
As a wrestling fan this has been an up and down year. Some new stars were made, there was a year long historic title reign and there were also some just bad stuff. So that being said, let's go through the awards...
Continuing the trend of looking back at 2012, with help from my wife @mama_mandabear, I present with the entertainment awards....
Looking ahead to 2013, the Report will continue to cover the Milwaukee Admirals and Milwaukee Wave through the playoffs. This will also include full coverage of the AHL All Star Classic and the 2013 Calder Cup Playoffs.
If there is indeed a NHL season, look for coverage of the New Jersey Devils and the full 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs. If there is no season, well there will be coverage of that too. At last check there had to be a deal by 1/14 or the season will be lost.
Finally, starting in the next issue, there will be full coverage and picks for the NFL Playoffs, all the way to the Super Bowl.
Outside of sports, in addition to Glee and Comic Book Men, there will be reviews of Celebrity Apprentice.
Finally there will be coverage all WWE, TNA and ROH PPVs throughout the year. Also there will be full coverage of a very busy Wresltemania weekend in the New York area.
At this point I'd like to thank some people for the help with the run if the Report.
First of all, thanks to my wife Mandy for putting up with me throughout the last four months.
Thanks to Travis Bryant, @travlord, and the @EastCoastCast for all the re-tweets and love for the Report since the beginning.
Thank you to all the people who have currently liked the Facebook page, please continue to spread the word.
Finally thank you to all the weekly readers. Without you there would be no Report and this wouldn't be as much fun.
That's it. Thank you for taking this ride down 2012 with me. This coming Wednesday will be the first weekly issue of 2013 so I hope to see you all there then. Till then, Happy New Year, and I hope you continue to spread the world.
