What are your picks for Wrestlecrap of 2022? Or the Gooker Award for that matter? I can't think of anything that is considered bad from this year, but even Wrestlecrap doesn't have to mean "bad." One I could consider a good candidate is the double wedding of Dana Brooke, Reggie, Tamina, and Akira Tozawa. I will admit that I enjoyed the angle because as ridiculous as it was, I did laugh at some bits. Another angle I could see being nominated is the whole Elias/Ezekiel thing.
What are your picks? It could also be in AEW and Impact. Also, because I know some people will talk about behind-the-scenes stuff, please, no need for the incidents involving one Phil Brooks, okay? We have had plenty of topics about the media scrum and the "Brawl Out."

I have really hope they leave stuff like the Punk scrum off the list but I know they won't

Vince deciding it was a good idea to be the public face of the company for the 3 weeks following sexual assault allegations.

I'd probably personally give it to the Sammy / Scorpio feud, but it's going to be won by the Punk scrum.

If we’re going by the actual spirit of the damn thing, it should be something like Ezekiel and the expanded Samsonverse or Maximum Male Models, but it’ll just end up being something real and depressing instead.

Given how the Gookers have run for years, the Punk scrum wins this hands down.
If RD reads this I encourage him to break down all the baked goods Punk consumed during that. I requested FAN do this in the gigantic thread, but tragically you all let me down.

The Shane O'Mac Royal Rumble debacle is still my favourite thing that happened this year, but it should probably go to something like EC3's CYN promotion attempt, because what the f*** was that all about?

Honestly, it should be Control Your Narrative that wins it.
If I were to guess the likely candidates so far:
The 24/7 Wedding storyline
Control Your Narrative
The All Out Aftermath
The 2022 Royal Rumble (if mainly for Shane)
Maximum Male Models
Tony and the Bots/The Big Swole tweet (yes, it was technically 2021 but)
The Judgment Day (pre-Triple H)
Sammy Guevara's 2022
The End of Vince McMahon

I can't say I disagree, to be completely honest. But McMahon showing face after the revelations and the fact that Punks shit was on camera for the scrum edge it over for me. |

Yep. To each their own, but honestly, the Gooker and the site itself are just too full of snark and anger for my liking these days |

I feel like with all the jokes and dunking all over the internet, the Brawl Out has a good amount of WTF and humour to it to be considered. Plus wasnt Ezekiel popular for a while? I assumed the gooker was for something stupid and not well liked, but humorous. Sammy/ Sky is so boring and forgetabble that I dont think it fits |

The Wes Lee vs. Trick Williams Rounds match or the Gacy vs. Bron Breakker feud. God, I love NXT.

Was the Ric Flair-Mark Madden imploding their own podcast this year?
I know that might be peripheral wrestling media, but two carnies who kept tying their own dicks to their shoe tripping over each other in a hilariously awkward fallout was pretty great. Becky Lynch keeps giving Flair L's.

Scorpio/Sammy might be worth a Gooker just because it has a lot to it. There's Guevara's increasing meta-reasons heat, there's the awkward way that Sammy and Tay were inserted into an angle that was obviously meant for Cody Rhodes, there's Lambert's consistent failure at getting anyone cheered while making increasingly unwatchable TV, there's the successful double turn that was immediately followed by a double turn back that went against the grain of crowd reactions. That last bit alone would make it worthy of a deluxe worst-of-the-year induction, even if I don't think it has a chance in a poll.

The McMahon scandal and the Brawl Out debacle will top the list. This year’s Rumble is my dark horse candidate. Also, honorable mention to Ric Flair’s Last Match.
