How about Raw's S***ty Six main event scene? Cena, Orton, Triple H, Batista, and Legacy?

While it would not win I would say Lacey Von Erich should at least get a nomination. She gets a job because of her name, yet has no wrestling ability and she has been nothing but trouble backstage.

The gooker needs to become something that isn't every year. It needs to be every two years or even 4 like the Olympics. Because it just turns into an award that people use for things they don't like and not actual wrestlecrap. (see post above this one!) RD needs to really leave the Gooker alone and up for grabs for a few years at a time because he is also guilty of naming something a Gooker when it really was not that bad in the Invasion. I couldn't agree more with you. Maybe not so much about the Invasion bit, it wasn't terrible but the opportunities missed were big, but in general there's stuff getting nominated here that really seems way off the mark. I like the Gooker to really be outstanding in its field for consistant wrestlecrap...not just a bad 5-minute segment or a silly debut. They've gotta EARN that beautiful Gooker statue, dammit!

Every year, there is something glaringly bad. This year, there are several things: the Raw guest hosts, Santina Marella, the Denver Debacle, and Jeff Hardy should get a nod for getting busted for dealing drugs a week after leaving the company.

The weird thing about the Jeff Hardy thing is that I MAY BE a jinx to him. I write a rant on one of my columns basically telling Jeff Hardy "What The HELL?!?" about him getting pinched on the Wellness Policy when he was going to be a part of MITB, couple of weeks later his house burns down. Then I write a nice thing about Jeff Hardy's band "Peroxywhy?gen"; basically it was a column about pro wrestlers in the music business, and after I wrote that THEN he gets caught for dealing drugs. Maybe I should stop writing about Jeff Hardy in my columns? Would be a bit more healthier for him.

This year, there are several things: the Raw guest hosts, Santina Marella, the Denver Debacle, and Jeff Hardy should get a nod for getting busted for dealing drugs a week after leaving the company. After what happened with the 2006 one I doubt they would put the Hardy mess on there. Also with the guest host storyline going on I wonder if it would have to wait until 2010 Gooker? As it stands now here is what I think may be the Gooker Nominees list. What is a very possible winners are bolded Raw Guest Hosts-While there have been a few good guest hosts most of them have been awful. Most claim to be WWE fans yet several have botched important things that any WWE fan knows (Kofi Johnson, SummerFest anyone?) Denver Mess-While I do not blame Vince for being mad at what happened with Denver his retaliation was pathetic. Ms. Wrestlemania-Everything from Kid Rock, to it being won by a man in drag, to it leading to a hogpen match. Chavo vs. Hornswaggle Hornswaggle is annoying enough but this whole mess with Chavo was pathetic and did not help Chavo any. Shawn Micheals is Broke-I still do not know how this one got started. Suddenly JBL is saying Shawn is broke. This leads to a match where Shawn is set for life by JBL. Shawn leaves TV for a while when he returns he is working as a cook in a cafeteria Jenna vs. Sharmell-You would think that someone would get the hint Celebrities and Wrestling do not mix and when they do it leads to disasterous results.

Honestly , there's been a lot of induction material this year but nothing to me really qualifies as Gooker material in 09.

Perhaps the Lakers/Nuggets match. Vince was right about the whole thing, but he wasted an entire RAW just to delve into his egomania, with fake David Sterns and E. Stan Kroenkes, and that got annoying. Also, the match will be remember for this spot: The Match That Got Mr. Kennedy Fired!

I think that Chavo vs Hornswoggle has to be winning so far it is one of the worst "feuds" in history.
But I also think that a dark horse for the Gooker should be Michael Cole, just his character and announcing overall.

The sad part is that Chavo actually enjoys this. But, yeah, this is one of the worst "feuds" ever. While that may be the case, bear in mind that, in order to win the Gooker award, the thing of interest has to have happened in the past year, not in general. I could make a case for "Vintage Shrimp" though.

Here's what I think the potential Gooker nominees will be for 2009:
Santina: Miss Wrestlemania: I would not be surprised if this was the top runner. but it's funny how WWE always get inducted for gimmicks that have been already done in the past (re: Harvina). It was a cute concept in the beginning, but after (s)he won the Miss Wrestlemania match, things went downhill from there. People already pointed out the low point of this gimmick with Santina feuding with Vickie.
RAW Celebrity Host: I was debating whether or not to single out an individual guest host, but there have been several awful hosts (Jermey Pivens & Ken Jeoung, Al Sharpton, the Osbournes, Bernie Mac Cedric the Entertainer) who seemed out of place and didn't even know the product itself. Plus, those "comedy" skits were hard to stomach.
Chavo vs. Hornswoggle: As Vickie had her problems with Santina, the other Guerrero had to deal with a summer-long feud with Hornswoggle. Do anyone disagree their matches were a big waste of time?
Sharmell vs. Jenna Morasca @ TNA Victory Road: By god...I thought it couldn't be done, but it did. This match was worse than Jackie Gayda's first match in WWE. This was really terrible. I mean, I don't think this was even a match at all. It felt like watching the Zeppelin crash into a train wreck that already happened.
Kizarny: Get it? He's KEEERRRRAAAAZZZZYYYY!!!!! His character was supposed to be, I quote, "If Jake the Snake Roberts and Doink the Clown produced a lovechild." O....K.....
Anyhow, he got over like a fart in church and only lasted two months.
Cody Deaner - TNA Knockout Champion: Tell me this; has putting a women's title on a man ever worked?
Khali's Kiss Cam: Another skit "engineered" by Khali, we all got to witness Khali planting wet ones from hot chicks to the morbidly disgusting hags. Plus, let's not forget that whole angle with Santina at Backlash where Khali threatened to kiss "her" (Thankfully, he didn't.)
Denver Debacle: Like most of you've said, this whole show was Vince's way to "mock" the Denver Nuggets for bumping RAW off the schedule. And oh yeah, this was Kennedy's last match too for botching that spot with Orton.
Orton's Road to Wrestlemania: Just throwing it out there, but I thought the way they handled Orton's push for the title at WM25 was retarded. It started off great with Orton giving the punt to Vince's head and winning the Royal Rumble. Afterwards, things got a little silly. He had that feud with Shane McMahon which I thought was unnecessary and that stupid "I.E.D." or whatever gimmick where he brought out the lawyers to defend his condition. The real head-scratcher was the way HHH buried Orton in the end at WM.

D'OH! I mix up those two a lot.
Also, in regards to the Cody Deaner angle, I completely forgot about Andy Kaufman's reign as Transgender Champion. He's the only person to actually do it right and make it entertaining.

Wait. Bernie Mac is alive? The Zombie Invasion Is On!!!I believe he meant Cedric the Entertainer. With The ECW Zombie still walking the earth. You think the world needs to get ready for a Zombie Apocalypse?!? D'OH! I mix up those two a lot. Nah no big. I wanted to do a Zombie joke anyways. Also. The Khali Kiss Cam doesn't count for the '09 Gooker because that was last year. And Dave Metzer awarded that gimmick the "Worst of 2008". Of course it wasn't as shiny as The Gooker though.

It seems to me like Swoggle-Chavo is the runaway winner.
I actually like it, but the overwhelming majority of the people who frequent this site hate it, so thus it will likely win. I think.
