[Jopo]

You didn’t make the count I’m sorry bud, I did my best this morning, it took a lot of my free time to sort out all of these nominees just to get to these 20 names. A lot of quality posters missed out and some were left off due to their dubs this year.

wad and I don't have dubs put one of us on the list, bitch

 

[lsa]

I hate playing pick two people so I picked who I talked to the most

@Arqueto @One MMA Fan good time this year buds


But you're all awesome

that hurts

Ey brah thanks for putting up this thread. It is much appreciated on this forum. I know you have busted your ass on this. While the thread is greatly appreciated, your work will go mainly unnoticed, however I thank you so much for your efforts. I made you an appreciation gif for you of Reggae Santa Clause Anderson Silva. Hope you like it.

 

[in the liver]

I made a huge mistake folks. @KazDibiase was and is the best poster on this site. He puts so much time and effort into making it easy for people who missed the fights to get a good gif of the important moments they missed. He has highlights up before ESPN does and is always willing to take request from this community. If he doesnt get an honorable mention or the crown for best poster it would be a travesty. #GIVEKazPlatinumStatus

Just wanna say i also really appreciate @KazDibiase

The gifs are such a huge part of how we enjoy the sport nowadays, they perfectly encapsulate these moments of pure insanity that are basically the essence of why we enjoy mma. Seriously dude thanks for what you do

 

[in the liver]

I agree fam, I had him in the top 20 as well but he wasn’t qualified unfortunately because he had dubs a few months ago.

@KazDibiase

@Buff has my vote. Legend

[MescalineDreams]

What's to stop people from making like 20 new accounts to vote on themselves lol

 

[bigwaverider]

@Threetrees @Soul On Ice two of the best and most consistent posters in the heavies.

@One MMA Fan all around great poster
@bigwaverider last years winner and the shoop gawd

Also @rearnakedchoke @FrontNakedChoke @Mortal Wombat @IngaVovchanchyn

It really goes to show how many good posters there are here. I'd be perfectly fine with any of the names I mentioned winning, as well as so many I forgot to mention.

View attachment 689633

I'm honored to be mentioned you guys are the best. My nominations

@Frank McEdgar
@One MMA Fan
@bigwaverider
@BC
@Clippy
@Sansnom
@Soul On Ice
@Tomas
@Zebra Cheeks
@Buff

Honorable mention @shoorik1987 for all the Khabib threads he posts with translations your work is appreciated bro.

Anyone of these fine gentlemen deserves the title and to anyone I missed, sorry bro's.

Here's my "short list" list in no particular order.

Spoiler: I hope you understand, to me broz who didn't make the "short list."

I got a long list of Sherbros I always seem to enjoy no matter what they say... so it's really weird having to narrow it down to a short list. That said, I wanted to add my vote to some of the ones who stick out to me atm & are active. Some of my favorite Sherbroz that I chat with regularly aren't on my list because I don't see them mixing it up in the MMA discussions. A couple I can think of have contributed a lot in the past, but weren't around as much this year.

The shoop scene is one of my favorite parts of Sherdog, but I think it takes a shooper who also discusses MMA a lot in the heavies to be considered for this award, & so if you're my shoop bro but didn't make my short list, that's probably why. Brother Rider being the exception, as his work in heading up the shoop scene has been second to none & he really does put a lot more work than anyone else into "developing the shoop community." So he gets a nod for that. Much love to the otherz who put in work & keep threadz bumped as well though!!!

@bigwaverider - Shoop scene GOAT... & I've had many MMA discussionz with hm as well.
@BC - Lyfetime Achievement GOAT Sherbro award
@One MMA Fan - Great breakdowns & POV. Could calm a rattlesnake even if he disagrees with it
@Soul On Ice - Alwayz makes me laugh, & has great shoops as well
@HI SCOTT NEWMAN - Friendliest Shercat & spot on commentary with lots of MMA knowledge
@TheIrishPsycho - One liners that are alwayz spot on & hilarious
@Jackonfire - Consistently hosts the live MMA event threads, clever commentary, & shoop scene supporter
@Kowboy - One or 2 sentences that always ringz true
@paynebringer - Alwayz on point, posts lots of gifs & memes, & haz the cool colorz & sizez in the letterz of his posts

Much Love to all me other Sherbroz who make this a fun place to hang out!!!

Maybe a weird mix but here´s my list this year. (Sorry for the ones i forgot. Will edit this list when i can think of some others out there)

@bigwaverider
@FrontNakedChoke
@MescalineDreams
@Tomas
@Buff
@Dead Kennedy
@Soul On Ice
@Frank McEdgar
@KazDibiase (for all the gifs)
@Drunken Meat Fist (for spiritual madness)

Throw in another vote for @bigwaverider and @The Clark

That Christmas hat thread was dope.

Happy Holidays ya filthy animals.

Oh wow!

Shout outs to the only person i have left that appreciates good ole Verace!

hahahaha

I guess my excessive trolling(specially for Khabib fans) and support for Jon Jones has left me no more fans in this forum over the years, so i offer you all this:

Spoiler

I WILL NEVER BACK DOWN FROM MY SUPPORT FOR JON JONES OR TROLLING KHABIB FANS!!!!

NEVER!

And before i go, i nominate:

@Soul On Ice
@Ken Fresno
@FrontNakedChoke
@Tomas
@Deadwing88
@Buff
@Arqueto
@bigwaverider
@Frank McEdgar
@BC
@HoFF

Alrighty then, I'll nominated.. wait a minute should I do like 5 names ok:

Best mod ever @Jackonfire

Coolest cat ever @HI SCOTT NEWMAN

Best positive attitude our very own TS here @BC

Best good guy ever @Arqueto

Best shoop mod (and the only one hehe top 1 of 1 YO) that does a lot for the community @bigwaverider

I can't do just 5.. I need more I'll do 10 then

My group of pals that have our own little movie club: @Myrddin Wild @EvilDDS @Ottawaguy @Draxton yes Arq you were already named before

Hmh I can do one more.. okay someone surprisingly @TGArthur

And I didn't even mention @Clippy you know what his off the list.. yep there you have it that's my hot take and he knows why (get your ticket to be in again, opening weekend)

This year for me it's @KazDibiase. Always with the timely top quality gifs. And always brings the cliffs.

I'd also like to nominate @bigwaverider, @Buff and @Arqueto. All had solid years. Play by play and shoop threads are my favorite things on these forums. You gentleman always bring top notch content that's both super impressive and hilarious.

I'm gonna go with :
@paynebringer
@HI SCOTT NEWMAN
@Mortal Wombat
@Jackonfire
@bigwaverider
@FrontNakedChoke
@Arm Barbarian
@Arqueto
@Clippy
@HHJ
@FireKidWS also for sure.

all entertaining / helpful / informative / amusing / suitably-weird, or just plain right 95% of the time.

There's a lot and i probably forget some or do them unjustice by not including them (sorry!)

@Ares Black - you're a good person to talk to and discuss with and always interested in many topics!
@dissectingaorticaneurysm - always interested and knowledgeable in many topics as well, thoughtful discussions - always!
@Sansnom - cool, laid back and always on every thread, need more people like you, you really contribute to a cool community!
@Better Every Day - super passionate and always knows the up- and comers, especially in WMMA, which is rare on this site! i've also never seen you curse i think, that's a respectable thing on here and i really like that!
@GoshiShun17 I just like you, haha. You seem like a cool guy and i always have a lot of respect for people who have actual pictures of themselves as their AV (like me - i totally am a Tyrannosaurus Rex).
@aerius - so much wisdom and knowledge, especially about striking as far as i can tell. Always interesting to read what you're saying.
@bigwaverider - insane amounts of shoops and a big contributor to this community, very like- and respectable!
@Chivas GDL - you were totally cool with those crazy shoops with your picture with Grasso, never forget. Legend amongst us mere mortals for this alone!
@Arqueto You're nice, do great shoops as well and just are a reasonable, nice person. I also liked your AV with the bulldog (or what kinda dog it was) and the yoda-qute signature!
@Kafir-kun - intelligent comments, good participator in discussions, i really like and appreciate that!

Edit: @Buff You just ooze fun and i really liked the threads about the fighters looking like animals and/or movie characters, haha!
@Frank McEdgar - you're always on sherdog (that's at least my impression, haha) and you're a decent person who contributes a lot to the activity on here!
@HI SCOTT NEWMAN p4p and absolute nicest and most warm-hearted person on here. The constant posting of cat pictures are just a really nice and fancy quirk and add A LOT to the awesomeness on sherdog. Never stop posting!

EDIT: @HHJ You're cool and laid back and i don't remember seeing you being an a** on here as well, which is something i respect!

EDIT: @-Dim- - always comes up with interesting facts and is really knowledgeable when it comes to doping in pro-sports, almost always feel educated when i read some of your posts.

I try to not nominate any more people now, although i can't promise it, LOL.

@VVarhead

@PurpleStorm thought i already nominated you, but i didn't - here we go!

Thx all for the nominations.

Off the top of my head...
@bigwaverider
@Arqueto
@Threetrees and @ortizgnp for being staunch Praetorians of the ArmBar Nation
@gono btw for dropping massive obscure NHB Science
@wilKO
@Sansnom
@shoorik1987 for epic russian translations
@Arm Barbarian

My username, once so well regarded, is now barely whispered aloud by decent folk.



Obviously @bigwaverider on the top of the list. All the hard work he’s put in here, creating and overseeing any and all things shoop’d. Quality content, a gentleman and a scholar. I’d say he’s really bringing the Sherdoggers together.

@Arqueto

The dictionary defines superlative as: of the highest kind, quality, or order, surpassing all else, or others. Supreme. I define it as @Arqueto . As a champ shooper, poster and as a friend, he is of the highest kind, quality, and order. Supreme.

@KazDibiase for giving us the best quality gifs of the important moments in any significant fight. Almost instantly. I don’t know how he does it, but I tip my santa hat to you!

@Clippy is my wild card pick. Too weird to live, too rare to die. I don’t even know if he’s a fan of MMA, to be honest with you. Any posts made by him or about him bring a smile to my face. Also, you MUST check out his media page. In the words of The Bald Goof ”If you didn’t know, now you know”.


These are my picks. There are a ton of good posters here and I appreciate all of you. Sometimes you just have to narrow it down a lot and this comes out of the other end.

Cheers!

I'd like to see Frankie get it myself

And I just want to show some love to
@sweetviolenturg @Tone C @Overpressure @JOE QUEEF @A.A. Riggs @HHJ @tonysmasseuse @bigwaverider @Arqueto @in the liver @Sansnom @dildos @Jackonfire @MacGregor @Frank McEdgar @The Clark @Clippy @Medulla Omoplata @Fedorgasm (never forget!) @Zer @Natural Order @Sir Galahad @HI SCOTT NEWMAN @Sakurabaism @Absolut

I really like: @Arqueto , @bigwaverider, @BC, @Clippy, @Death By Samson, @Jackonfire, @TheIrishPsycho uuu and that cheeky Zebra @Zebra Cheeks (ps: bro you got something in the back ehem).. man that puts a dent in my mood to clap some cheeks if you catch my drift

I'm gonna go with my guys @Jackonfire and @bigwaverider .. ish two blue names I look like such a brown noser lol hey what can I say this are my choices and I'll handle the consequence aka the jokes coming my way.

@bigwaverider do I have to make a new shoop for the NGS or can I just use the same one as last time? The rules weren't clear

Wow I didn't realize I was nominated this many times. Thank you all for nominating me. I would rather think I am a forum servant rather than a poster. I am here for all of you and that's the truth. My PM box is always an open door to anyone. I am sorry it has taken me this long to say thanks but I have not been feeling well for some time now and energy is low. I was just now able to thank @BC for his efforts in putting up this great thread. But yea, a big MA-HA-LO! to all of you. You are all on my Nice List now haha.

 

[bigwaverider]

That’s great, thank you for the kind words. Big mahalo to you my brotha.

My words did you no justice brah.

 

[Buff]

I didn't actually want to nominate you, I was just scared you'd shoop my house on fire or something if I didn't.

 

[Fahcough]

What's to stop people from making like 20 new accounts to vote on themselves lol

Remembering passwords to email addresses mostly

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

What's to stop people from making like 20 new accounts to vote on themselves lol

I think mods would nip that pretty quick

 

[Nate banged my mom]

wad, nate banged my mom, and I don't have dubs put one of us on the list, bitch

Listen to this man

 

[bigwaverider]

What's to stop people from making like 20 new accounts to vote on themselves lol

These things are monitored.

I didn't actually want to nominate you, I was just scared you'd shoop my house on fire or something if I didn't.

I've done a lot worse than that to you @Buff. But I know your real weakness. Shooping you eetang noodles with a knife and fork.

This was me teaching you Shoop-fu. I've got worse ones that this too.
(answer your PM)

 

[TerrorTimmy]

@bigwaverider and @Jackonfire are good posters but I'm not voting for mods

@FrontNakedChoke and @Frank McEdgar got my votes instead

 

[LeNoirNePasMerde]

I don't see myself on there, so I will not be voting. @Wadtucket tell them.

 

[Ares Black]

What's to stop people from making like 20 new accounts to vote on themselves lol

The crippling shame?

 

[Nate banged my mom]

I vote for @Wadtucket and @Frank McEdgar

Frank is a wonderful poster never a mean thing said to anyone. Can make his opinion known in the least arrogant way possible


Wad has not watched a big UFC event in a year because he’s more focused on making sure everyone feels appreciated in the live thread with a like for every post (literally)
