This is a list of both active and inactive Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards created by professional wrestling journalist, Dave Meltzer. The first fourteen awards were created in 1980 as an informal poll between Meltzer and his friends and others he corresponded with on the subject of professional wrestling at the time. After starting the Wrestling Observer in 1983, the awards took on a greater life, with an increasing number of awards given out every year.

It was announced in the December 3rd 2007 Observer, that from 2007 onwards Mixed Martial Artists are not eligible for the Lou Thesz/Ric Flair Award and will be for Wrestlers only. Shootfighter of the year will be renamed to Most Outstanding Fighter. A new award has been created called MMA Most Valuable Fighter which is similar to the Lou Thesz/Ric Flair Award except it is for Mixed Martial Artists.
  • This is a list of both active and inactive Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards created by professional wrestling journalist, Dave Meltzer.

After starting the Wrestling Observer in 1983, the awards took on a greater life, with an increasing number of awards given out every year. The awards were created to recognize the individual achievements of a select few wrestlers who exemplified in a specified criterion. The awards are given on a yearly basis in various categories such as Best Overall Wrestler, Most Outstanding Wrestler, Best Tag Team, Most Improved, Match of the Year, etc. ; there are also a handful of awards to recognize the dubious distinctions in the business during that year such as Most Overrated and Worst Worked Match. Currently, there are thirty-seven categories that are actively assessed every year and ten that are no longer active. The awards are voted for by the readership of the newsletter, which includes various insiders of the industry, such as promoters, agents, and performers, as well as journalists, historians, and fans. The awards are organized into two classes. For class A awards, voters indicate their top three choices. First choices are awarded five points, second places three points, and third places two points. The choice with the most points overall wins. For class B awards, voters simply indicate their top choice. Over the years, mixed martial arts has become eligible to win awards. This led to in 1997, the creation of Shootfighter of the Year and Fight of the Year to recognize MMA achievement specifically, but some awards remained intact for MMA to win, due to the similar business aspect between both sports. In the December 3, 2007 edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it was announced that from that year onwards, mixed martial artists are no longer eligible for the Lou Thesz/Ric Flair Award, thus reserving it for wrestlers only. Shootfighter of the year was renamed to Most Outstanding Fighter to match a new award called MMA Most Valuable Fighter, which is similar to the Lou Thesz/Ric Flair Award except it is for Mixed Martial Artists.
  • Les Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards sont des prix honorifiques décernés chaque année depuis 1980 par les lecteurs de la Wrestling Observer Newsletter au meilleur et au pire du catch (appelé lutte professionnelle au Canada)et des Arts Martiaux Mixtes (également appelés MMA ou free-fight) au titre de l’année écoulée. Les premiers prix ont été attribués en 1980 lors de sondages réalisés par Dave Meltzer, futur rédacteur et éditeur de la Wrestling Observer Newsletter auprès de correspondants, passionnés de catch comme lui. Dès 1983, après la création du Wrestling Observer, les awards deviennent une tradition annuelle et le nombre de catégories grandit et évolue d’année en année. Pendant les mois de décembre et janvier, les abonnés à cette newsletter, et uniquement eux, sont invités à voter dans chaque catégorie auprès de Dave Meltzer pour l’année qui vient de s’écouler. Les résultats sont révélés dans la newsletter fin janvier ou début février. Il n’y a pas de critère géographique d’éligibilité. Le catch et le MMA nord-américains, japonais, mexicains et européens sont éligibles au même titre. Ces prix sont symboliques, il n’y a aucune cérémonie et les gagnants ne reçoivent aucun objet commémoratif.
