Slammy Awards
From Pro Wrestling
The Slammy Awards was a campy WWF version of the Academy Awards/Grammy Awards. Professional wrestlers appeared, lip-synching to songs they had originally recorded for The Wrestling Album, which was released in 1986, and performing skits. The first one aired in 1986, with another airing in 1987. The concept was resumed in 1996 and 1997. The Slammy Awards returned in 2008 as part of a 3 hour edition of Monday Night Raw on December 5th.
