Okay, now that we're fresh in the year, I wonder when the poll will be up. Do you see that title-swapping debacle as a candidate for the Gooker Award? Considering what happened, that might be a bit much to include, but it was still one of the worst things to happen in 2021. It's probably my choice for worst WWE segment of the year, but that's in large part because so much of this year has been so damn forgettable. Even worse than Shayna being stalked by Lily. That had Shayna shit talking a supernatural entity, running from it, hiding from it and possibly getting killed. It was like a BRE Phasmaphobia stream on Raw, all that was missing was Dakota getting killed.

I would consider the Hannibal stabbing the ref incident the worst thing in wrestling in 2021 as it is far worse than anything that happened WWE Or AEW this year. whats worse is that the ref almost died. It may not be a nominee however(My first post here).

Nikki ASH or Alexa have to win this. Absolutely embarrassing stuff.

I hope Cody's terrible neck tattoo is a nominee.

WWE releasing talent in 2021 has to be a Nominee.

I think I'd personally give it to Cody / Ogogo, or just Cody in general, but Bray / Orton / Alexa is also a strong contender. I'd be good with either of those really.

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 mean if we're going by ORIGINAL spirit... Lilly shouldn't qualify because it was over. 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 Yeah, even from the beginning. Wasn't IRS WrestleCrap like way back in the day? I always thought Rotunda got the gimmick over, even if the idea was absurd.

Choices in rough chronological order:
-Shane vs. Strowman feud -Lily (winner) -Zombie Lumberjacks (and NXT Zombie Ref) -Non-Exploding Exploding Ring -The Egg

So yay, we have a real-life event that really sucked but will probably win, despite WC supposedly being about dumb storylines/gimmicks. Got it.

I just tried to vote and was told that I'd already voted, despite the poll not showing up for me earlier. I'm annoyed if that means that my vote for Alexa Bliss doesn't go through or got mis-attributed to something else.
Also, kind of disappointed that we got an "everything Cody" option instead of Cody/Ogogo, which stands as the dirt worst part of the whole thing. I dunno, I just don't like when a voting option is so broad unless it's a really thin year, and this is arguably (aside from the firings option and the stupid explosion that's not going to be much of an entry if it wins) a strong year for choices.

Mass Firing is such a stupid thing to be a Gooker. And it will win because "omfg it was so stupid!" There's a massive difference between stupid shit being BOOKED and just stupid shit on the business end, but alas... I just need to quit paying attention to the Gooker. Like the WWE, I keep trying to pretend the Gooker is what it used to be. It's long since been a zombie shuffling along. All the brains are rotted away and all that's left is the name of the corpse's shell.

the Alexa/Fiend thing really shouldn't be on here... stupid as it is it was over and making money, like they couldn't keep the replica dolls in stock.
The Mass Release thing... also seems like it shouldn't be here... besides it being a shitty corporate thing... WC is supposed to be a comedy site... how the hell do you make that funny?

Hell, back in 2007, it was terrible that the Eddie Guerrero exploitation stuff from 2006 shouldn't have been an option. I advise people to vote for anything other than the mass releases. Hell, I wouldn't even thought of that as an option. Which was why I didn't mention it in any of my other posts.

Ethan Page vs. Ethan Page on PPV sounds so bad I kinda love it I'm in 2 minds about it. It definitely fit the description of "crap wrestling", but it was genuinely funny purely on how silly it was. Meanwhile there's stuff like the Mass Firings which isn't anything that happened on screen but is definitely "the worst of pro wrestling", the Lily stuff which was awful but somehow still over, and various other stupid stuff. I think this poll comes down to what people interpret wrestlecrap as
