| From WorldWrestlingInsanity.com Insanity Year End Section It's the big one. The one that everyone waits for. Without furthur ado, here are the two winners for 2006's Wrestler of the Year!
Edge  2nd Place: Samoa Joe
3rd Place: Bryan Danielson Reader Comments:
"He carried both Ric Flair and John Cena to two very good TLC matches. He has consistently given good work/shoot promos on Cena and DX. He also stole the show at Wrestlemania with Mick Foley in that brutal Hardcore match." - JohnnyBravo088 "Edge was one of the only good things about WWE this year." - Tom Oakman "Not only did he carry the company, but he carried his role as top heel as well. After feuding all year with John Cena and taking on DX, Edge has proved he has what it takes to lead the heels on Raw. He was WWE Champion and both times it was big moment feel. He just delivered the moments that people will rememberthis year." - Adam Airforce But wait, now it's time for.... 2006 Insanity Staff's Choice for Wrestler of the Year Samoa Joe
 2nd Place: Edge
3rd Place: Bryan Danielson "Wrestler of the year? Mike Knox. Just kidding. My real pick is Samoa Joe."
-Mallory Mahling
"This is one where guys working for smaller promotions routinely get screwed because not enough people see them in action. This year though, I think Samoa Joe really delivered on the indy circuit as well as in TNA, showing heart and consistency. What's really amazing about Samoa Joe is that he's great in the ring, good on the stick, and he defies the conventional wisdom of what a wrestler should look like. Bryan Danielson had a great year too but Joe was all-star on both the indy and national level, edging his way to victory." - Mike Rickard "No man in this business can have the quality of matches against the calibur of opponents as Samoa Joe does. I know some people aren't familiar with his Ring of Honor work and I've heard rumblings from those people asking "What's the big deal? He is ok but he isn't Shawn Michaels or nothing" Well to you people, I say, "GET YOUR HANDS ON HIS ROH WORK STAT!!!!!" Samoa Joe can have great matches with people of various styles and that has been proven in 2006. From Abyss, to Jeff Jarrett to Kurt Angle to Brian Danielson to Nigel McGuinness, Samoe Joe changes it up depending on his opponent and delivers, ALWAYS. Amazing considering according to sources, he is doing it with a bad back. " "Coke Ma-chine! Coke Ma-chine!" © Copyright by WorldWrestlingInsanity.com WorldWrestlingInsanity.com is not
