Slammy Awards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Slammy Awards was a campy WWF version of the Academy Awards/Grammy Awards. Professional wrestlers appeared, lip-synching to songs they had originally recorded for an album released in 1986, and performing skits. The first one aired in 1986, with another airing in 1987. The concept was resumed in 1996 and 1997, but has not made another appearance since then.
