The 2007 Heat Awards-Nominations

The 2007 Heat Awards
By Shaun Best-Rajah.com Reporter

Greetings Heat fans. For the fourth year in succession and exclusively to Rajah.Com, here is the Heat awards nomination ceremony for 2007. I am your host Shaun Best and listed below are the nominations that I have carefully constructed based on the results from Heat over the last twelve months. The rules are simple. Read through the categories and e-mail your selection from each one. Basically to have been nominated, a superstar just needed to make an appearance on Heat in 2007.
This will explain why people like Randy Orton, Triple H, John Cena etc are not a part of this ceremony before I get dozens of e-mails saying I've left people off it.
Special Edition appearances don't count and I've decided to eliminate that category this year. The deadline is next Wednesday (9th January) with the results being posted the following day. There's a lot to vote on so I'll stop waffling. The e-mail address for your votes is heatandvelocity@hotmail.com and it's listed again at the bottom. Enjoy!

Heat MVP
Rather than list every single superstar that's appeared, I'll leave this up to you. Who in your eyes has carried Heat in 2007?

Worst Heater
Again I'll leave this one up to you. Who in your opinion stinks up Heat whenever they appear?
