It has to be the 2014 Rumble. It's possibly the most square peg fitting in round hole booking I have ever seen in wrestling. They salvaged the bad angle beautifully with Batista becoming Douchetista again, Daniel Bryan overcoming every kind of odds to winning the big one at Wrestlemania, the return of Evolution feuding with The Shield, and Bluetista which is why it's probably not winning this poll. But the weird thing all about this was they wanted Batista to win because he was going to be in Guardians of the Galaxy and not once did WWE promote Guardians of the Galaxy which may finish as the #1 domestic movie of 2014. Possibly for the fact WWE didn't know how to promote Batista's success since the hate for him was still strong and Marvel may not want to be associated with that. Oh yeah and where is Batista right now? Bad booking, yeah. But how is this wrestlecrap? Same reason why King of the Ring 1995 or Wrestlemania 9 and 27 are considered Wrestlecrap. Square peg in round hole is the crappiest wrestling booking out there and the fact WWE was so comically unaware that this was going to be a disaster where everyone else could see it was hilarious. The fact that Batista was still acting like a goody two shoed Babyface while blaring his theme to the loudest it can go to drown out the boos on TV is hilarious. The fact they never advertised the hottest babyface Daniel Bryan not being in the Rumble is one of the skeeziest bait and switches ever because they knew if they said outright he wasn't appearing in the match would of lowered the buyrate. The fact they were their this oblivious and sleazy is hilarious because it truly represents the true worst of poor wrestling

You had good matches in Edge vs Bertie, Cody vs Mysterio, Punk vs Orton, and Taker vs Triple H. Those matches alone disqualify it. You've also got the Miz "Hate Me Now" video package which is a top notch WWE video package, and that's saying something when it comes to WWE.

It didn't feel like mania, with WHC curtain jerking, Rock opening promo, main event shenanigans

Bella/Bella for me. What a horrible storyline with an even worse "payoff".
...I'd forgotten I even voted before now and thought there was something wrong with my internet...

I'm going with the Bellas, for sure. That was just awful television week after week, and they never bothered to properly conclude it since I presume they're doing it on Total Divas. Speaking of which, that's my Gooker choice not nominated.

Looks like the Vince interview is going to win it, which to me defeats the whole purpose of WrestleCrap. This isn't going to be funny, this is just going to be a whiny bitchfest.

Major fail with the gooker this year as it will go to something that isn't remotely wrestlecrap. Basically going to go to something on purely political reasons instead of something in the spirit of the original "gooker". Really sad to see this win, won't even bother reading the induction this year if it does.

The Menagerie should be owning this poll, yet they're way at the bottom. If a bunch of carny weirdoes wrestling to make money to save their dad's carnival....or something isn't wrestlecrap then what is.
They should win for their theme playing nonstop really.

Oh yeah and where is Batista right now? That's the damndest thing. Heck, they even buried the idea when Batista left by having Triple H say "Don't come crawling back here if your little movie flops!" And then Guardians of the Galaxy did all sorts of crazy numbers, with resulted in Batista getting a gig as one of the more lucrative and iconic roles in cinema history; the henchman of a James Bond villain. Considering how the WWE screwed up his debut by having him be a babyface and not as an asshole heel, that did not help matters. I did, however, vote for Bella vs. Bella. Neither were good in their roles (Nikki tried too hard to be hateful and Brie, cast as that underdog babyface, was so wooden), the matches were passable at best, and the end result was, after all the times Nikki browbeated her, the payoff was that Nikki won the right to treat Brie like dirt for 30 days clean and, at the end of that period, Brie helps her win the Divas Championship. Not to put herself in a position to win the belt, but rather to ensure that the belt stays on Nikki at all costs. And they're best sisters now! When the payoff to a feud that was prominent on TV for months is for your babyface to turn heel and help the other heel, you screwed up royal.

No, an a full event, it qualifies as Wrestlecrap even moreso than Wrestlemanias 9 or 11 because the whole thing was a bafflingly inconsequential affair where nothing changed. You could go from that February's Elimination Chamber to that April's Extreme Rules and not miss a thing.

I think that's because Crazzy Steve and Knux somehow wound up getting it over. As awful as their debut against Kazarian was, Steve now gets some of the loudest reactions at TNA shows and Knux has been showing the promise that Paul E. saw in him five years ago.

They also stopped having them wrestle with their theme music blaring throughout the match, which was by far the biggest knock against the group.

I think the low votes for Willow and the Menagerie are due to Jeff Hardy doing stupid s*** is so common its to be expected, and the fact that in the grand scheme of things, wrestling carnies isn't all that outrageous as far as characters go. Dumb yes, but you can find countless other "professionals in other fields becoming wrestlers" gimmicks that make even less sense.
I do think Brass Ring stuff should be taken out as its more of a broad company/booking problem than a specific thing one could point to. Rumble is entirely fair game though. The monumental display of stupid and the tone deafness displayed by WWE on that show is so mind boggling as to be worthy of induction.

Wrestlecrap used to make me laugh. A good writeup of the Bella feud could have done that. It's nonsensical, bad acting, no payoff, and just ridiculous; Wrestlecrap. Instead it became a What's wrong with Wrestling these days kind of thing.

Instead it became a What's wrong with Wrestling these days kind of thing. I agree wholeheartedly. That was/is awful. Makes no sense to anybody except >SWERVE!< We fooled you! There is a lot of WrestleCrap out there and all you have to do is watch random segments throughout the year and you'll step in something. Paige's debut was terrible; the so-called "anti-Diva" stands there while AJ runs her down and treats her like a little girl who didn't clean her room. She does nothing about it. (Role reversal badly done.) Frickin' Heath Slater (either with 3MB or Gator) with El Torito's never-ending feud with Hornswaggle. (To think the WeeLC match was that good and the rest was eye-rolling bad.) Bray Wyatt's disappearance and the (still never fully) explained reason why the Family was broken up. Emma gets called up, they never explain why she dances like that, and almost immediately gets hooked up with Santino in another series of matches that seemed to go on forever against Summer Rae/Layla and Fandango. Cesaro's "big win" in the battle royal leading to...absolutely nothing. Secondary titleholders who barely win matches. (And I had completely forgot Rusev is the US champion.) Wrestlers who change sides every other week, and switch back. It's TNA bad to where, except for John Cena and the Miz, I don't know what side of the fence these guys are on. But no, we're going to scan the Internet newsletters and just mention stuff that happens behind the scenes.

I swear I must be the only one on the forum that has always gotten a kick out of Crazzy Steve. Maybe I have bad taste
