[Crappler El 0 M]

-Trump v. Rosie
-Vince v. Trump
-Vince: ECW Champion
-Vince Dies
-Vince Has a Bastard

I know you said in the past that you don't like to lump multiple angles together, but Vince sure did have a lot of stuff going on this year.

[MolotovMocktail]

-Vince McMahon vs. Donald Trump: Begins with the awful skit, culminates with Vinnie Mac bald. Two mediocre-at-best wrestlers highlighted Wrestlemania while also taking the ECW and IC titles out of being defended.

-Who Shot Blew Up JR Vince? An episode of Raw culminates with Vince McMahon's apparent death, and no shortage of people wanting him dead. The angle looked to be another endless wrestling whodunnit until the real-life deaths of Chris Benoit and his family cut the angle short and left it with no resolution. Until Nomination #3, that is...

-Vince's Bastard Son: Vince miraculously comes back from the dead (unless you count his appearances where he showed up to wipe Benoit from WWE history), saying he faked his death to see if people still loved him. Everything went fine until he discovered he had an illegitimate child. After weeks of "humor" in searching for his superstar son, it is revealed to be...HORNSWOGGLE! Naturally, this leads to leprechaun shenanigans, such as Coach attempting to blow him up with ACME style dynamite and him stymying Carlito by painting a tunnel on a wall and running through it.

-The Signature Scandal: Wanna know why Hornswoggle was Vince's kid? Had it been Mr. Kennedy, like the original plan, the angle may have been less crappy. Well, Kennedy, as well as seemingly half the roster, got busted for steroid use. Everyone from the expected (Chris Masters) to the downright shocking (Funaki) was named, exposing the underbelly of the wrestling industry at a time when WWE was still reeling from the PR fallout from the Benoit fiasco.

[Bocuma]

Adam "Pacman" Jones
The new DX
"Feast or Fired" Deal or no Deal crap
SuperCena overcomes the odds
You being called a "Nikka" by some kid on Yahoo

Kurt Angle: TNA X-Division Tag Team Champion of the World, v3.

[Big Daddy Bad Booking]

1. K-Fed vs. Cena
2. Rosie vs. Trump
3. THE YEAR OF THE VINCE!
4. Blindfold Match- Lockdown
5. BATISTA HEARTS BASKETBALLS, aka the year of Khali's enormous push
6. Santino- Milian miracle (up until early August or so)
7. Wellness/Signature
8. Benoit (had to put it in there)
9. The Draft (lots of Smackdown debutchery here)
10. Jim John Morrison = ECW Champion

[joeman]

-Rellik, it's killer backwards.
-Judais Medias, a 5'9 monster that Abyss is scared of.
-Blackdust, a fat Dustin that is scary as hell, except when he is in the ring
-Abyss mother/Sting plot
-Abyss' other secret
-Kevin Thorn turning generic
-Mr Mcmahon vs Lashley including the "NO!" "SUM OF A BITHTH" and "My Father's Uncle" segments
-Mr Mcmahon's Son
-Petey Williams hoss gimmick
-Robert Roode in general

[The Line]

Vince McMahon 2007(Or How I learned to no sell explosions and win a world championship, wll while fathering a bastard child. Oh and I got my head shaved,too.)

[Sigma: Current SRW Champ!]

Yaeh, RD. Vince in 2007 has to get this. If not him, than can we throw in the Lockdown PPV from this year. My friend Nikki Heyman can attest that it was utter crap, especially since they FORGOT the actual cage and the cage set up was the electrified one.

[Sigma: Current SRW Champ!]

Or if not that, then maybe we can induct Stomper! How can we not forget Stomper!

[Tyfo]

AJ Styles turning retarded and being put into different "hilarious" costumes at Thanksgiving, and now Christmas.

Seriously, how do you do the same gag again within a month and expect it to still be knee slappin' hilarious, when it wasnt even that funny the first time.

And why did he become a moron who has to depend on Christian or Angle or Tomko like their his parents. Wasnt he self reliant just last year?

[Deleted]

Vince McMahon, 2007.

- Puts on the awful Donald/Rosie parody match, with equally awful segments throughout that show.
- Becomes 'Gangsta Vince' when he wins the ECW title, complete with doo rag.
- Goes completely crazy for a week or two.
- Blown up in a limo ... an angle that lasted two weeks (although, for unfortunate reasons).
- Returns, and we learn he has a bastard son, Hornswaggle - despite the fact that Hornswaggle is in his 20s, he can still be fostered.
- The terrible segments involving Vince and his "son".
- Has now gone crazy again, it seems.


As for another nominee, the 'Hornswaggle' character as a whole.

[Widow's Peak]

I'll copy and paste my list from another thread:

1) "Donald" vs. "Rosie": "Fudgie the Whale" couldn't even save this debacle.

2) Feast or Fired Match - Okay, let me get this straight. There are four suitcases hanging above the ring. Three have title shots, one has a pink slip. BUT...we aren't going to find out who the winners at the PPV. We have to wait until the next free show to find out. BUT... We won't find out because Christopher Daniels wants a match with Senshi (who, actually quit the company earlier that night and would have saved a lot of time if he was just given the pink slip). So now, Daniels has Senshi's briefcase. BUT... then we have to wait until next week when all four owners of the briefcase are facing off in a four-way match. The winner is Scott Steiner who gets to choose between $50 K or Petey William's case. He choses Petey's case. BUT... we still don't find out who won what because slowly, through the course of the evening, the cases are opened one by one. Petey gets a shot at the World Title, BG James gets the tag team title shot (and may or may not team with Kip) and X-Division pioneer Scott Steiner gets a shot at the X Division title while poor Chris Daniels gets the axe. BUT... Chris isn't really fired, he's just doing a fired angle in order to swerve the audience because simply firing Senshi, who was leaving anyway, would just make too much sense.

I need an Advil.

3) Hornswaggle McMahon: If only Kennedy weren't such an idiot...

4) Christy Hemme/VKM Feud: A woman decides that she's sick of being a generic bimbo. She cuts a passionate promo showing great respect for the women who came before her and pleads for an opportunity to compete in the "sport" that she loves. For this, she is treated to verbal abuse, sexual harassment and threats of physical violence. Oh, and she's the heel in this feud. To be fair, that promo was horrible...

5) Black Reign - The "evil" side of Dustin Rhodes hangs out in the basement with a pet rat so docile that it makes Mickey Mouse look terrifying.

6) TNA's "Blindfold Steel Cage Match" : This one was so horrible that Storm and Harris had to practically kill themselves at the next PPV in order to erase the stigma.

7) Diva Search 2007: The good news was that it was kept largely to the internet. The bad news was that there still was a Diva Search.

8) Pacman Jones: "Let's hire a suspended football player who won't be allowed to wrestle and give him the tag team titles and make light of the crime he allegedly committed. Ratings, I tell you!"

9) Kelly Kelly/Miz and Tracy/Robert Roode: Really now, ladies. I think that if your contracts include that much verbal abuse, maybe getting fired isn't such a bad thing. Take a typing class, or enroll in a culinary school. Get a paper route or a job a McDonald's.

10) Abyss: I don't know what Abyss, or should I say "Chris", did to his poor father. I only know what this storyline is doing to my poor head.

I'm honored that what has become known as "Signgate '07, Raw 11/12/07, Topeka, Ks" received at least one nomination.

Let's look back. 13 year-old kids view blocked by a drunk WrestleCrap Radio co-host. Yes!! Whack-a-Blade during an in-ring debate. Yes!! Drunk Blade obscuring more view by brawling with my friend in the crowd during the main event. Yes!!(Check out the 5:00 mark on this link...)

Good times. Also, don't forget Mickie showing her love to me in my sig. Damn good times in 2007!!

[Hulkshi Tanahashi]

Vince McMahon.

TNA Lockdown.

[chibidiablo]

Robert Roode owns Eric Youngs Contract. I honestly thought it might make Bryan Alvarez quit his job.

[Gopher Mod]

1. Vince's "saga", from Battle of the Billionaires (including the HORRID "Trump vs. Rosie" match that began the year) to ECW Champion to nutcase who gets limo asploded, comes back "from the dead" due to Benoit, learns he has a bastard child, and now the angle with Hornswaggle. Wow. That's a whole lot of crap from one person.
2. The runner-up (far behind Vince) would be Chocolate Reign. Some stay dry, while the fans just feel the pain of Chocolate Reign. Honestly. Why did TNA come up with this stupid character?
3. TNA's horrid announce team. Tenay and West have always sucked 10 types of balls, but it was VERY obvious this year. They both need to hang it up and TNA needs to get new announcers. HORK.
4. TNA Lockdown's Electric Cage Match. The single worst PPV of the year, with the single worst gimmick match of the year. Again, why did Jarrett and friends decide to put this horrid idea of a match in there?

That's all I got for now.

I dont think it should win, but I think it at least deserves a nomination.
