This is not surprising to folks who watch WWE programming every week. Nor is it surprising to anyone who watches any of the nominated shows, which blow WWE&#8217;s TV out of the water from a quality standpoint. <\/p>\n<p>But you have to feel for WWE, so desperate for that award recognition. They&#8217;ve broken into the mainstream in many ways, but are still stonewalled here. Therefore, I&#8217;ve made up an Emmy-like ballot that is WWE-exclusive. Like the Emmys, eligibility will cover June 1, 2017-May 31, 2018. Who do you like as winners of each category?
