Another year has passed with a bunch of stupid wrestling angles and characters and it’s up to YOU to pick the very worst – it’s time once more to vote for the Gooker Award!
And ain’t no shortage of options here. We got stuff from WWE, AEW, TNA, even the NWA for crying out loud. But what was the absolute worst of the worst? That’s up to you do decide. Here’s your choices:
WWE Greed – No no, they didn’t bring back the final WCW PPV. What they did do was gouge every wrestling fan for every possible penny they had.
MJF in the Hurt Syndicate – A completely idiotic storyline in which MJF tried to get into the Hurt Syndicate and after weeks finally did…only for him to get kicked out and it never spoken of again.
John Cena Heel Turn & Retirement Tour – We pondered splitting this into the heel turn and Rock’s disappearance or maybe the fact that the guy who preached to never give up quit with a big smile on his face in his final match, but eh, we’re gonna just lump it all together into one big stinky candidate.
CM Punk Goes to Saudi Arabia – Apparently going from “go suck a blood money covered d**k in Saudi Arabia” to “why yes, I love this great country” is easier done than said when you’re getting fat paychecks.
Charlotte vs. Tiffany Stratton – You know what’s better than a shoot feud? Well, just about anything as this whole mess would clearly demonstrate.
Travis Scott – Note to future celebs wanting to get involved in WWE: legit walloping Cody Rhodes in the face isn’t a great idea.
Mike Santana and the TNA Title – I mean, we love Frankie Kazarian as much as the next guy, but really? REALLY?
NWA Mint Julep Match – Somehow, NWA made “Damien Sandow vs. Bram on a carnival ride & a pirate ship” completely uneventful.
Death Riders – Much like the Energizer Bunny, it just kept going and going and…what’s that? It’s still going?
Minoru Suzuki vs. Butterbean – If Uncle Dave calls it the worst match HE has ever seen, kinda inevitable that it’s a nominee, right?
(Quick note – we disqualified Raja Jackson attempting to kill someone from voting, because we want this to be FUN, not CRIMINAL.)
Get to votin’, will ya!
