To those arguing that the Vince death angle should not be considered this year: I don't think the Benoit situation should make the Vince death angle excused from being considered for the Gooker. Remember, the announcers sold the angle as if it were a real death, speaking in somber tones and acting like he seriously died. They spoke out of character. They did the ten-bell salute with all of the wrestlers standing in the aisle with a graphic of Vince on the Titon Tron. How does this not cheapen their whole tribute process? The on-air tribute is something that should only be done with real deaths. When Sherri really died just days after the angle, some in the WWE fought hard in an attempt to stop them from showing any kind of tribute to her on Raw. Only after heavy insistence from some within the company did these people relent and allow them to show a graphic of her later in the broadcast before the diva segment. They refused to show it at the beginning of the broadcast because that was going to be used to further the storyline death of Vince. That's right, the lady WWE inducted into the Hall of Fame the year before didn't get a tribute graphic at the beginning of Raw because they wanted to continue the fake death angle first. She wouldn't have had a graphic at all if some within the company got their way. As we talked about with last year's Gooker, death is a subject that should never be exploited for storylines. I was so happy the angle was ended, but I hate that it took a double murder/suicide to get WWE to realise how inappropriate the angle was. Yes the selling was great, but it's the way it had to end. I read thsi site to laugh. Last years was sad the limo will start out great, end sad.

Personally, I believe that the winner of this years award should be "2007: The Year of Vince McMahon" for a few reasons. Vince booked Donald vs Rosie for his own amusement, which directly lead to the Battle of the Billionaires along with the seemingly endless promos that no one cared about for it. Vince wanted revenge on Lashley for shaving him bald, as a result Vince defeated Bobby Lashley to become ECW champion. After feeling a "black cloud" hanging over him for weeks Vince McMahon apparently died in a limo explosion, which was followed by people grieving over the death of Vince including the 10 bell salute ,which was used to legitimately honor Eddie and Owen. After resurfacing it was revealed he had a bastard son. After weeks of anticipation it turned out to be the former Little Bastard, (irony at it's finest) Hornswoggle.

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. I agree with this. The 2007 Gooker is Vince's to win.

I agree with pretty much all of the popular ones listed already.
Just to restate my "favorites" though:
1. Rosie vs Donald Trump 2. Pacman Jones "wrestling" in TNA 3. Hornswoggle being the payoff to the son angle (although in fairness it did get over to an extent, I will still nominate it anyway)

Can we just nominate the entire year as a Gooker, because I don't think just one character/angle/match/etc. can emphasize just how crappy this year was overall.
If not, then it's definately the WWE vs. the media. From Benoit, steroids, the CNN documentary, etc. They didn't have a good year.
But if you want a lighthearted one, nothing beats Trump vs. Rosie RAW match.

Okay some repeats but let me put in my 2 cents
Pacman jones. Half of a tagteam but can't wrestle. Lame
Derailed McMahon Death angle. A story that could (read COULD) have gone somewhere if reallife deaths of Chris Benoit and his family hadn't taken place. leading up to....
That one guy who wrestled for us once. After a nice little tribute show, Chris Benoit is never heard about or acknowledged AGAIN. Not quite the level of awfulness as the Eddiesploitaiton induction but still pretty bad.
Rosie vs The Donald. The match was lame as hell but it did lead to Trump at WM23 which I dug.
John Morrison. Don't give a crap about his workrate, I want to see "The End" of this gimmick. If IRS is Wrestlecrap then this is in that same league.
Khali: World champ. Did Giant Gonzales 2007 really need the strap?
Hornswoggle: Merrily we roll along. A bastard child angle goes to pot when the original choice is taken out of the running and Finlays sidekick gets the spotlight leading to pulling towels off of divas and treating the Coachman to gimmicks straight out of Bugs Bunny cartoons.
How about the Clocktrolla? An awesome countdown piece is shut down forever due to Candice Michelle losing the belt that she only had to hold on to for another 27 years.

2007: The Year of Vincent Kennedy McMahon Jr.
Trump and Rosie, Gangsta Vince McMahon: ECW World Champion, Vince gets blown up, then is alive after the Benoit tragedy (ironically, Sherri's real life death a couple weeks earlier wasn't enough for them to end it) and then gains an illegitimate midget son for midget COMEDY~! matches and backstage skits. I said it before and I'll say it again, just put Vince in the Gooker costume and have him dance around cause he IS the Gooker.

my 10: Rosie vs Donald: NEEDS TO STAND ALONE...this deraled raw ratings for 3 months and didnt involve vince except as him booking it on screen...the boos and TNA chants were major. Pac Man Jones: I cant wrestle, i cant be a heel, but I am WORLD TAG CHAMP, someone call David Arquette Vince is DEAD: Brought way too far, too close to real deaths (Mike Awesome and Sherri Martel) and then of course the Benoit debacle. Using a RAW is OWEN type tribute and 10 bell salute crossed the line big time. I agree with Foley here, someone should have quit over it to send a message. Elevation X: Scaffold matches are bad enough, scaffold matches with hosses...gooker worthy K-Fed: How to kick off a new year, have the loser trailer park husband of a useless trailer park singing ho go over your world champion, someone call Pac Man Jones! The Great Kalhi: WORLD CHAMP!: Yeah give the belt to a guy so awful he cant wrestle on live tv...really smart! Feast or Fired: Ripping off Money in the Bank is one thing...but to set it up so a guy who isnt quitting is fired, and the guy who IS quitting is the big winner...ummm Jillian Hall SINGS: A woman who cant even talk without being annoying SINGS and cuts a CHRISTMAS ALBUM...I think we found a mate for Naked Mideon! Black Reign: Golddust, only evil and with a dead pet rat rather than a drop dead georgeous pet pussy marlena Basebrawl 2: Because ONE lame match no one cared about involving a roided up Baseball player and his drug dealing KISS demon was JUST...NOT...ENOUGH!!!

I remember watching Trump/Rosie in early January and thinking "There's your Gooker winner right there."
Nothing else this year has made me say that.

Here's my list TNA Lockdown 07. All Cage Match PPV who's bright idea was that. Pacman Jones He's at least as bad as Mongo Mcmichael but we'll never know. The New Breed. Two Black men a Vampire, A Teacher and a Hot Chick yay for factions. King of the Mountain A Reverse Ladder Match need i say more. The PCS How to use the X Division lets turn them in to a bunch of goofs. Although Black Machismo is awesome. VKM-Christy Hemme. Does anybody remember or even care about this feud. Cryme Tyme. Way to stereotype black people folks. WWE One Night Stand did we really need an Uncensored knock off. Wrestling Society X If you like explosions this is the fed for you. The Teddy Long-Kristal the wedding. Has there ever been a wrestling wedding going off with a hitch.
