If AEW is going to get one, it has to be the exploding sparklers.
That’s a perfect WrestleCrap moment at its essence. Tons of build up, with an epically hilarious dud to cap it off.

What is should be if they are going by the original spirit of the site and award: Lily. It's such obvious Wrestlecrap; it's magic, it is out of touch, everyone involved in it looks worse afterwards, and it was a huge waste of time.
What it will be will be WWE cutting a bunch of talent during pandemic.

I'd 100% give it to Orton / Fiend.

Will be: behind-the-curtain business bs nobody outside of the company should worry about.

It's probably too small scale to qualify, but the saga of Federacion Wrestling-- the hot new lucha libre promotion that advertised Andrade's first post-WWE appearance and a host of international talent that looked like such a big deal it prompted CMLL to sever its relationship with Ring of Honor over allowing their roster to take the booking, held a single streaming press conference where the audio didn't work, required viewers to PayPal money to "brutalsexmusic@gmail.com" in order to buy tickets, shut down after running zero shows, and kept the money-- surely deserves at least an honorable mention.

Federacion Wrestling almost had to be a complete scam that never had any intention of running a legit show. Too bad it's not as prolific as anything in WWE, AEW, or Impact to get much notice beyond Lucha Libre fans.

The original point of WC was that if it somehow worked it doesn't count... granted they have then went on to ignore that rule pretty much constantly

Orton/Fiend's entire feud and Mania Payoff is up there to me
The entire Lily angle spawning from it and then them doing their best to ignore Wyatt ever existing after firing him... to the weird stupid CGI shit they tried to do with Lily that killed crowds... to Charlotte ripping the doll up and Alexa fizzing at the mouth...
The Zombie Lumberjack Match also I think is prime consideration. Everyone looked like shit. They barely acknowledged it after the fact. It was to promote a Batista movie that wasn't even good and bombed at the box office. And Miz hurt himself in the match! Was a perfect storm of shit
The one of most recent note? The ending to Finn/Roman has to be up there too...

We still have almost three months so NXT 2.0 has some time to give us something.

The ending to Finn/Roman has to be up there too... I really feel like it has to be the Orton/Fiend/Alexa stuff, even if it doesn't totally fit the spirit of WrestleCrap in terms of the fact that Lily might have been over. So much bad came out of it. Zombies were WrestleCrap, but I don't think it can be considered the Gooker. The Batista movie was direct to Netflix with a smaller supplementary theatrical run. It's in the top ten most viewed Netflix movies ever -- to call it a "bomb" is misleading. Second, WWE got paid over a million bucks for like 12 minutes of brand integration. That's wacky. It's WrestleCrap, but it's not Gooker worthy if they're getting paid a stupid amount of money for a small amount of their time.

But yeah, yeah....WrestleCrap is now about roasting bad business decisions and things the IWC hates, instead of silly gimmicks. And I think they did do the zombie match as a regular entry. Has anything ever gotten an entry AND the Gooker in the same year?

Speaking of zombies, Zombie Ref should get his own.

Ending of Slammiversary 2021 because Josh Matthews sucks at being a producer.

Yeah, I can't see anything but Alexa winning. Solely for the way they gifted Bray's gimmick to her while simultaneously WWE-izing it with the doll and over-the-top hocus pocus that even made The Fiend's stuff look mild by comparison. Which is a shame, because I feel like she was doing great character work with Bray, but it jumped the shark the second they split her away from him.

My pick would be the exploding sparklers in AEW's "death match". So much hype with so little pay off.

The KOPW Trophy. Has no value, the matches have been downright awful and has been an utter waste of time It exists to further own Kazuchika Okada and for that it is wonderful.

Under the radar nomination - NWA booking a loser stays in town match. I haven't followed NWA, did they seriously do this? I've always known this as one of Heenan and Lawler's corny punchlines.
