History of The Bobby’s

Welcome to “The Bobby’s,” a page dedicated to my popular culture interests. I hope this page offers you snapshots in time – and that the movies, music, television, and pro wrestling (if that’s your thing) referenced here remind you of your own memories and years gone by. 

This page is wholly unofficial, purely subjective, and was technically established in 2002 (originally as “The Bobby James Awards”), in response to a “Best of 2002” edition of WWE Magazine. Dissatisfied with some of the WWE’s year-end selections, I began creating my own year-end lists. 

Since then, I’ve maintained a personal year-end ranking system, which has grown to encompass popular culture more broadly. I’ve ranked film, television, and music, in addition to professional wrestling. Below is a complete history of “The Bobby’s.” Please take some time to explore and feel free to share your thoughts. 

Order of Categories: (1) Film, (2) Television, (3) WWE, (4) Music, (5) AEW, (6) Impact Wrestling
