The REC Awards: July 19 - 25, 2015

After a week of surprising good WWE programming and some unexpected happenings, it is time for the REC Awards.

First and foremost, I've got something to get out of the way. As we're all aware, WWE has terminated Hulk Hogan's contract due to a recent racist tirade. Due to the nature of the situation there, I've made the tricky decision that I am going to be leaving out a bunch of comments related to that. I am very well-aware that many comments in those articles got over 50 recs. However, it's best to keep this thread free of all that to maintain its original stated goal, to celebrate the good things from this community.

I do apologize for this in advance, but I feel that this is the best way to address this.

With that said, onto the RECs!
