2011 was the year of Kilgore! After staking his claim to retire at the end of the 2011 Season, attacking Ruy Batello and declaring his intentions to retire as Heavyweight Champion, “The Antisocial Anarchist” followed through on all his promises as he worked his way through the NCW roster en route to challenging Buddy Romano for the NCW Title at WrestleFest VII.

Right behind Tim in the voting this year was “The Juice” JT Dunn, who had a breakout year after splitting with former tag team partner Vincenzo Abruzzi. Taking up the company of Luscious Latasha and then Amber, Dunn embarked on an epic feud with GA West, raising the stock of this talented highflyer. Mike Paiva and Buddy Romano round off the list, with Paiva beating out Buddy by a single vote.

In 2nd place is the tandem of One and a Half Men, unlikely contenders now that Kevin Cordeiro has shockingly turned his back on his former friend and partner. The Granite State Wrecking Crew has come to NCW, and has definitely turned some heads with their finesse and power moves. Be on the look out for this impressive team in 2012.
