Slammy Award
The Slammy Awards, also known as the Slammys, is a concept used by WWE, where awards, similar to the Academy 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.
The awards were discontinued after 2015. The same year, the NXT brand debuted its own exclusive awards, the NXT Year-End Awards (also rewarding the NXT UK brand in 2019 and 2020), with wrestlers from Raw and SmackDown being instead rewarded by the WWE Year-End Award in 2018 and 2019.
In 2020, it was announced that WWE would be reviving the Slammy Awards for their Raw and SmackDown brands, with the winners announced live on the WWE Network. Following the 2020 awards the Slammys went on hiatus again until a 2024 edition was announced, determined entirely by fan vote.
Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker hold the record for the most Slammy Awards won by a WWE superstar at fifteen each.
The Slammy Awards was initially conceived to commemorate the release of The Wrestling Album, a music album featuring various professional wrestlers from the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now known as WWE). The ceremony took place on March 1, 1986, from the Civic Center in Baltimore, and aired live on MTV. Martha Quinn served as an interviewer. Gene Okerlund, Jimmy Hart, Hillbilly Jim, and Junkyard Dog performed their songs from the album.
Winners are listed first, highlighted in boldface.
The Slammy Awards returned a year later, now honoring the events and individuals involved within the professional wrestling aspect of the World Wrestling Federation. The second edition of the ceremony (referred to in commercials and on-air as the 37th annual Slammy Awards) took place on December 16, 1987, from Caesars Atlantic City in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It aired in syndication on December 19, 1987. The ceremony was hosted by Jesse Ventura and Gene Okerlund. Musical numbers were performed by Vince McMahon (singing the song "Stand Back") and Jimmy Hart (singing "Girls in Cars"), with the entire WWF roster performing "If You Only Knew" as the show's closing number.
