The real question is, what would be nominated besides Hornswaggle is Vince's Kid and ECW as a whole? I don't think the Vince death angle should be considered because we never got to see where it was going.
Oh wait. Didn't that MTV wrestling show air this year? It should be nominated.

Gooker voting will begin with the first update of 2008. I like to give it the full 12 months in case anything sneaks in late.  RD |

Let's not forget the Rosie/Trump match which people were screaming GOOKER at earlier this year. There was debate although whether to induct the Trump/McMahon feud as a whole too. With the whole "raining money" stuff that didn't do much except for those in the crowd, Trump on interviews talking about The Great Hindu and Bobby Lindsey, etc. I still think RD could write an induction on the Rosie/Trump match alone though. |

I honestly think Trump/McMahon should win although somehow it lead to huge buyrates it had alot and alot of crap like Trump owning Vince, the raining of money, terrible backstage skits, "Trump vs Rosie", "We love Bobby!", oh and the clusterf*** that was Lashley vs Umaga at Wrestlemania and the lameness with Austin. I hated this so much!

And this thread is exactly why RD should just pick the winner himself. I've heard people call at least 30 different things "Gooker of the Year" seconds after it has happened, yet all people can remember is the Trump/McMahon angle which actually wound up doing exactly what it was supposed to do. Generate tons of buzz in the media which caused interest in the PPV.

I think RD choosing the candidates and then having everyone vote out of those strikes a good balance, that way the only possible Gooker winners are things that RD considers to be possible winners but it's not just his opinion that goes into it. And hey, if there's something that doesn't win the popular Crapper vote but that RD really wants to highlight as among the worst of 2007 he can always do a Special Gooker induction or something and include that. Maybe there could even be two awards, RD's pick and the fan's pick. Plus there really should be a WrestleCrap Lifetime Achievement Award given annually to someone who's made the biggest contribution to Crap over their careers. I'm thinking Hogan, Vince McMahon, or Giant Gonzalez... |

Generate tons of buzz in the media which caused interest in the PPV. um so what. It was still terrible and just buried ECW to a point it looks like an utter joke and not a viable product where they need Smackdown stars on it. Sure it generated good things at first but it also lead to Vince as ECW Champion, Vince "killing" himself and the horrid pointless Vince's kid storyline. So really I don't see this being a good thing and the Trump/Rosie match was the worst thing to ever be witnessed on TV. Just because it got buyrates dosen't mean it's not crap. But if that dosen't win i can guarantee that something involving Vince will win, it almost has to. |

And it still wasn't "the worst thing ever to be witnessed on TV." People like throwing those kinds of things to sound dramatic but they really should consider what they're saying. |

Whoa, why would ECW be a Gooker candidate? For a big chunk of the year, its been the best wrestling on tv, with guys like Punk, Burke, Morrison, Benoit for a few weeks, the stuff with the New Breed and ECW Originals early. The only crap in ECW this year to me was Lashley's title run with him never actually feuding with anybody on ECW. If its just because of the "its not the old ECW" thing, its time to let it go. |

Would it be possible to nominate or just plain give the Gooker to this entire year? I just don't think a single character/wrestler/angle/storyline could correctly sum up just what a crappy year it's been this year.

Ken Kennedy should be nominated. For shooting himself in the foot.
OK he was unlucky with an injury that lost him that money in the bank shot. But when he goes on TV claim to never have taken any thing on WWE's banned list and then later gets tested positive and is suspended which kills what would of been his biggest push of his career of being Vince's son.
Well he should not get Gooker Of The Year but he should be nominated.

I have some nominees in mind:
Vince McMahon as ECW Champion
Kurt Angle holding all the titles in TNA
The Condemned
Vince McMahon VS Donald Trump
Hornswoggle McMahon
The Voodoo Kin Mafia VS Chrisy Hemme
That's all I got so far.

I don't how that happened, but hopefully you'll get some help. ;D |

I still think MTV canceling WSX is more gooker worthy then WSX itself.
considering that scarred had it's own special right after.
also what about k-fed beating cena?

People like throwing those kinds of things to sound dramatic but they really should consider what they're saying. It all goes down to opinion, but still... putting "crap" on TV even as part of an angle is still putting "crap" on TV isn't? RD's inducted other stuff that had good turn outs, like the build to Steamboat/Savage. I dunno, even if I sound like a mark or whatever, I have complete faith in RD to write a good induction on any topic that's even remotely crap. |
