Selection for a Commissioner's Choice Award
The Process
Through the Commissioner’s Choice Award, the Commissioner of the PWAHOF has the ability to retroactively spotlight important historical works that may not have garnered a level of attention significant to attract high sales or annual awards, but which are deemed — in the personal judgement of the Commissioner — to be of inestimable value to pro wrestling history due to the quality of their content, the depth of research that was poured into them, and possibly even the difficulty and effort required to conduct that research.
In keeping with the spirit of the award, the Commissioner’s Choice Award will not be conferred upon any book that received a noteworthy award in any wrestling publication, or which received a designation of “Winner” of “Finalist” for the “Book of the Year Award” as bestowed by The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
