Not long ago, we introduced the Cageside Seats Year-End Awards and now it's time to kick off voting for said awards. Today, we'll get the ball rolling for the "Breakout Wrestler of the Year," an award designated for a wrestler who may have been a rookie or may have been a 10 year vet but his first true breakout year was 2012. That's all encompassing, from promos, to workrate, to quality matches, and everything in between.
The candidates up for the honor:
Damien Sandow
Antonio Cesaro
Daniel Bryan
Austin Aries
Bully Ray
Ryback
Dolph Ziggler
AJ Lee
Vote in our poll below and tell us who you think should win "Breakout Wrestler of the Year" in the comments section. The winners will be announced next week!
