The Dubbys (also known as PWF Empire Awards) are the official PWF Empire year-end awards for pro wrestling. The awards are voted for by readers of PWF Empire and winners are revealed by JayDub LIVE on a special edition of The SideShow, right here on PWFEmpire.com!
Voting for the 2011 Dubby Awards has ended and winners were announced on The SideShow December 27, 2011.
The 2011 PWF Empire Year-End Award (aka Dubby) winners have been revealed, and CM Punk comes out of the night as the big winner. The “Cult of Personality” completely cleaned house, winning every single award of the five he was nominated for, including three of the big four awards.
Punk wins Mark-Out moment of the year for his pipebomb promo from June, Superstar of the year, and match of the year along with John Cena for their bout at Money in the Bank 2011 (which also won pay-per-view of the year). The final big award of the night went to Zack Ryder. He overcame stiff competition to win the Breakout Star of the Year award, defeating Cody Rhodes by only 4%.
