I'm shocked no one has mentioned TNA's biggest stinker of the year: Jenna Morasca vs. Sharmell. You don't let a person with minimal to no experience wrestle on TV, let alone PPV. Agreed. My thinking with the worst of the year is that everything's been done to appeal to someone in the audience. Chavo/Horny? The kids. Joe's heel turn? People that wanted to see a heel Joe. the Wrestlemania main events? Erm...Triple H and Cena wanting themselves over, I guess. But the case of Jenna/Sharmell was the worst thing all year. I don't think it was designed for publicity, it wasn't designed to get buyrates or Nielsen ratings, and Jenna seemed to come out of it as a Mary Sue of sorts (immediately being associated with the Main Event Mafia and Joe's heel turn, seriously, and then Sharmell yelling at her for no reason). Gents, as bad as Hornswoggle/Chavo was, I think we're finally going to have our first TNA Gooker.

I also think that Mick Foley, a 40-year-old man with the damaged physique of a sock puppet, becoming the TNA Heavyweight Champion of the World should get some demerit.

As much as I'd love to see Hornswoggle/DX in the running, technically it's still going on, so I don't believe it qualifies.
Unless "still ongoing" applies only to the regular inductions?
As for my other nominees:
Cody Deaner the character, between his "training vignettes" with ODB and his TNA Knockouts title run
Santina
Miss Wrestlemania
Chavo vs. Hornswoggle
Don West, TNA heel commentator. As much as I loved hearing him do it, the idea was horrible.
Dr. Stevie/Abyss $50,000 bounty. It didn't even end with Dr. Stevie paying out the bounty; Nash stole it from him
Lakers/Nuggets
I agree with Piggie James; while it may be true about Mickie having a weight problem, let the heel champion who's sleeping with one of the main event mainstays parlay that into making fun of her. GREAT idea.
Definitely agree with some of the guest hosts.

How about Kid Rock bumping the Tag Team Unification Match off Wrestlemania. How is something that didn't happen supposed to be inducted?

Oh SPEAKING of Bad. Godz for nominating Zack Ryder. That's grade school flame baiting. For the REAL DEAL (No pun intended) how about this for a nomination Wrestlecrap V Demento Fued: From Fruitcakes to Theme songs.......When's he coming on the show already?

Horny Vs Chavo is definitely a deserving winner.
Jenna/Sharmell would be too.
But i would go with Vince vs EEEENIS. My god what an act of complete petty bullshit.

My suggestions and a comments on each one
-Miss Wrestlemania:I know Santina was over but this still does not make this immune to winning the Gooker . To begin with most of the former Divas did not choose to participate so it was mostly a battle royal with current divas mixed in with a couple of divas past. Then there was Kid Rock. Rather than chose to introduce the battle royal participants (which IMO is one of the best things about nostalgia battle royals) they chose to have the diva come out during KId Rock's performance. Then rather than showing the divas coming out they showed Kid Rock. This led to no one knowing who was in it. Usually people would not know someone was in it until they were eliminated. Then it was won by a man in drag. This led to the whole Santina storyline. As if it could not get any worse Santina was put in a feud with Vikki Guerrero which ended in a hog pen match.
-Denver mess:I do not blame the WWE for being upset over what happened. However their response was pathetic
-Hornswoggle vs. Chavo: Has their ever been a storyline as bad as this one that did not have any payoff? Basically it was Chavo jobs to Hornswaggle each with in a match with a patehtic gimmick.Once or maybe even twice would have been bad but I could have put up with it. However it went on every single week and got more ridiculous as it went along.
-Raw guest hosts: Yes their have been quite a few guest hosts that were good and most of those were people from the companies past. The celebrity ones though were usually awful. This proves what I frequently say and that is celebrities and wrestling don't mix.
-Shawn is broke-One year since they started this storyline and I have no clue as to how it started. I know one day JBL is saying Shawn is broke and then SHawn gets on TV and says he is broke. This eventually leads to Shawn winning a match where he is set for life. After Shawn is gone for a while when he returns he is working in a cafeteria.
-Jenna vs. Sharmell:See the last sentence of my Raw guest host comments.
-Lacey Von Erich:Angelina love has problems and has to leave TNA. TNA replaces her in the beautiful people with Lacey Von Erich. Not because of her wrestling talent but due to the fact her last name is Von Erich. She has absolutly no talent whatsoever and is a PITA backstage. You know things are bad when even announcers are making fun of you.

I'll defend two angles. The Piggie James angle and Abyss vs Dr. Stevie. The Piggie James angle is probably one of the best this year, just based on the reaction people give it. How bad can an angle be when people think it's REAL?!
I've said it in a number of posts, but Blade Braxton said it best. People have a severe case of Imaginary Girlfriend Syndrome. And the Piggie James angle proves that in the world of the internet, if you have the right people on tv doing an angle, people will buy into it and believe what's going on.
Another defense of an angle would be Abyss vs Dr. Stevie, as it helped bring in crazy Daffney, Raven, and Dr. Stevie being a strong character on television. It probably went a bit long, but anytime Dr. Stevie, Raven and Daffney are on tv, that's definitely not a bad thing.
So yeah, I disagree with Piggie James due to people believing in it, and Abyss vs Dr. Stevie by bringing Stevie, Raven and Daffney to television, who are all fascinating to watch.
Anyway, my Gooker nominies!
-Chavo Guerrero vs Hornswoggle - Probably the angle that runs away with the prize this year.
-Jenna Morasca vs Sharmell - Jim Cornette said it was the worst match he's ever seen in his entire career.
-Lakers vs Nuggets - Vince McMahon is a very bitter man.
-WWE Guest Hosts - Screw it. Add the whole concept. Sure, there were some good, but there were more bad, with screwing up names and stuff. Add the entire concept of the Guest Host of Raw, saving a few guys who were actually decent.
-Daffney is Sarah Palin - The joke that went WAY too long.
-Big Dick Johnson - He's been around for a few years, but I'm surprised he hasn't been put in yet.
-Santina Marella - I always thought that was painful to watch. It also kept many female wrestlers from coming back for that Divas battle royal. That could be something good to add in too.
-Cody Deaner - King of the knockouts. I've enjoyed a lot of Cody's stuff, but I think it started going south when he tried to be King of the Knockouts. Other then that, I've enjoyed Cody Deaner.

To be fair, the only one I can nominate would be Kid Rock ruining a large portion of WrestleMania.
The other stuff I haven't followed enough to comment on.
Kid Rock for Gooker!!

It probably went a bit long, but anytime Dr. Stevie, Raven and Daffney are on tv, that's definitely not a bad thing. I can understand why people don't mind that angle because it brought in Daffney and Raven, but it was still a ridiculous concept. Putting a hit out on a fellow wrestler, and add to that the fact that we never got a payoff due to Nash stealing the money just made it a waste of time.

I'll second the nomination for the "Shawn is broke" angle. My God. There's suspension of disbelief, and then there's just straight up flat out insulting our intelligence.
While I agree with a few others already posted (Chavo/Hornswoggle, Lakers/Nuggets), I'll try to think of a few new ideas:
Michael Cole as the head play by play guy on your flagship show. He's been bad for years, but it's gotten consistently worse. He's completely unlistenable today, serving only to get his own catch phrases over and blatantly shill the concept of the "WWE Universe" rather than calling an actual wrestling match.
WWE completely ignoring the laws of time, and continuing to push Wrestlemania 25 as "The 25th Anniversary of Wrestlemania" even though it was only 24 years since the original. In fact, I'll contend that with the exception of HBK/Taker, Mania 25 was the worst of all time.
Jack Swagger, ECW champion. From his generic college kid hair to his ridiculous lisp to his complete lack of talking skills to his bland in-ring style, EVERYTHING about this guy screams "jobber." Has absolutely no place main eventing a show, much less being its champion.

Oh SPEAKING of Bad. Godz for nominating Zack Ryder. That's grade school flame baiting. For the REAL DEAL (No pun intended) how about this for a nomination Or, maybe I actually hate him. Cause I do. And not even in the "wow, he's a good heel" way. In the "Wow, he's useless, what's he doing on my TV?" way. Like I said, I realized it'd be an unpopular opinion. EDIT: Ooooh, I like the above suggestion of "The 25th Anniversary" that, you know, WASN'T.

Santina is my choice for Gooker. The only things you could call decent about this was the remix version of "You Look So Good To Me", and Vickie's reaction to beating Santina and becoming Miss Wrestlemania. But that does not excuse the months of crap this angle was.

But that does not excuse the months of crap this angle was. It lead to Goldust telling Vickie she smelled like shiitake mushrooms, and telling Hornswaggle not to touch her cause she was covered in poo. That means its better than 99% of the rest of the year.

- Triple H breaks into Randy Orton's house, complete with multiple camera angles and random strangers.
- Donald Trump owns RAW...for a week.
- Hornswoggle/Chavo
- "Santina" Marella - somehow, he became even less amusing when dressed as a woman
- Santino vs Vickie - kinda ties in, but this was painful as well

Definitely Hornswoggle/Chavo. Even better, I pretty much called it happening.
