The interest in, and importance of, these awards is far greater than anyone could have anticipated, but after an unexpected delay, they are here!

The first ever (WWE) Fake News Awards will pay tribute to those within the Sports Entertainment world that have won bigly in recent years. Those that just can't help themselves. Those that build walls of success they don't even pay for. Those that just have to grab life by the pustules!

These are traits few men (and women too, these awards have actually shattered glass ceilings for women) have. It's about time everybody got together and gave a little bit of recognition to these people - a nuclear war or global warming could rob generations of the opportunity to, even those both of those possibilities almost certainly aren't even real!

Let's drain the swamp of negativity around the industry and pay tribute to those that deserve nothing but praise dropped on them from almighty height! Satire might be dead, but like finally being allowed to say 'Merry Christmas' around the holidays again, it's about time we all got together for a big laugh! Merry Christmas! Fake News!

And The Winners Are...

10. 'Youthful Exuberance' - Kane

Vince McMahon is a smart man, and it's perhaps why he once piped up during a conversation about an ongoing 2012 storyline between Daniel Bryan, CM Punk and AJ Lee with the frankly brilliant suggestion of including Kane.

The plot only featured two of the best wrestlers in the world tied together but dragged apart by the unhinged affections of one of the most organically popular females on the roster in years. It was clearly lacking something big. Something red. Something machine-like.

The Chairman had his finger on the pulse yet again in 2017, with Braun Strowman in desperate need of a rival that matched his stature and youthful intensity. Enter the better-than-ever demon, lumbering through matches with the grace of a man twice his age! Or half, whichever one's better.

Never one to misread the beating heart of his audience, McMahon knew a Braun/Brock rematch needed extra heat, and had a 300lbs sack of fire content ready and willing to go once he'd burned Finn Bálor's aspirations to a crisp.

The great masked wrestlers maintain the veneer of agelessness thanks to their disguise - Kane mastered the art after he ripped his off.
