It's the Slammy Awards edition of WWE Monday Night Raw from 1am this morning and one of the most eye rolling things I have seen leading in to the night is the speculation on which wrestler - yes, I wrote wrestler and not 'sports entertainer' - will win the award for Superstar of the Year on WWE.com.
Here is a tip for writers who would like to add odds to their articles - be realistic.
The favourite wrestler to walk away as winner out of the nominees is CM Punk at 5/1. The second favourite - John Cena - is 10/1.
I'm hardly going out on a limb here but those kinds of odds are ridiculous.
It would be like having Barcelona priced at 5/1 to win La Liga in the pre-season odds markets. Even more crazy is the price on the second favourite.
Real Madrid 10/1, anybody?.
It's a good job the WWE.com writer hasn't opened a real book on the awards. He'd be a very poor man by now.
