Slammy Award

The Slammy Awards, also known as the Slammys, is a concept used by WWE, where awards, similar to the Oscars and Grammy Awards, are given to professional wrestlers and other individuals within WWE, such as commentators and managers. Introduced in 1986, there have been 13 editions of the concept. The awards are a mixture of "serious" and "tongue-in-cheek". Winners of the award receive a statuette that depicts one wrestler holding another over his head.
