I just read RD's Rambling on the 10 year Anniversary of Wrestlecrap. Has it really been that long? ...yes...yes it has.
Anyways, I had an idea. Why not take the worst of the worst and make a Gooker Poll for the worst thing to happen in the past decade. Hell, I'll even make a trophy and send it to the winner!

Considering how iconic it was, I'd give it David Arquette: WCW Champion.

I think, since it was my idea, I should be able to pick the sole Gooker of the Decade Award. Lets take a moment to consider the candidates. Sure, there is the David Arquette WCW Champion fiasco...which sucked and destroyed the belt...but WWE at least restored that belt to it's former glory, albeit in their own way. But even more damaging than that would be the Invasion. Never before had so many people been so turned off by wrestling. I remember all my friends saying this is the worst thing ever and just stopped watching right there and then. didn't WWE's ratings go down by like an entire point that summer? Then there is the Katie Vick thing, the Diva Searches, Eric Young vs Robert Roode, Eddie Guerrero's posthumous treatment...so many choices.
However, I have made my decision. It will be none of those things. No, this award needs to go to the 1 thing that did more damage to professional wrestling in the past decade than anything else. The single biggest turn off to wrestling fans everywhere. The 1 thing that made you cringe as you watched your TV set waiting to see good wrestling...and who else could it go to than...
THE WINNER AND NEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWW GOOKER OF THE DECADE AWARD WINNER....
VINCE RUSSO!!!
Thats right. Who else is responsible for more bad wrestling, bad TV, bad promos, bad angles and bad matches this past decade than him? He was given WCW at a crucial point when all eyes were on him to save it...and he ruined it faster than if they just had the Maestro vs Prince Iukea for 2 hours 2 nights a week. Nobody in the WWE has anything good to say about him. He is responsible for David Arquette being Champion. Arquette himself knew it was a bad move and didn't want to go through with it. f***, RD and Bryan Alverez wrote a book which he was a main character...a BOOK!!! Thats how bad he was. His work was documented in a book!!! Russo, bless his heart for trying, is just not a good wrestling booker/writer/anything. I feel like he has done more damage to and made more money from wrestling than anyone else in the history of the industry.
So Vinnie Ru, this Gooker is for you. To 10 more years of incoherent, unintelligent, so dumb that it's impossible to follow booking.

Now if you want Vince Russo to be awarded the worst in wrestling on your own Wrestlecrap inspired website. You just go on ahead. But this is RD's house. It's his rules. So let's get RD in here and let HIM choose the Gooker of the Decade. |

Katie Vick would be my choice. Nothing in this decade was as disgusting and pointless like that storyline. I mean Kane was accused of murdering than raping a woman after she died and having HHH make him look like an idiot. Kane's response was a lame video of HHH getting a colonscopy and stating that he had his head up his ass. Yeah real funny. However my hatred for this wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't for Kane losing in the feud, thus starting HHH's reign of terror which had me not watching wrestling for a few years.
Nothing with Russo did that to me I actually thought some his stuff was okay I mean WCW had lost alot of fans that he was trying to attract any attention he could so some stuff failed but I can't say the Russo stuff was any worse than the stuff they were doing in early 1999. Remember that includes the infamous fingerpoke of doom. David Arquette as World Champion was no where as bad as that.

yea, but it was my idea. My idea, my pick. RD, Blade and KKK (whoops) I mean Triple Kelly had their top picks of the past 10 year inductions...I'm picking the Gooker of the Decade Award Winner.
Thats not to say they can't do their own either...but something tells me that they'd probably go ahead and agree with me. I mean, they WROTE A BOOK ABOUT HOW HE HELPED KILL WCW!!!

HHH's run was definitely funky and I think everyone wanted a change...but it didn't exactly HURT the WWE. Plus, to be fair, he put on some pretty good matches with guys that weren't really known for that during that time frame. Hell in the Cell against Nash was pretty awesome, his feud with Goldberg where he was channelling the still living spirit of Harley Race I remember also being the best thing WWE was doing at the time. So while it wasn't all bad, it wasn't all good...It's not GOOKER worthy.

I'd choose either Vince Russo: WCW Champion, Katie Vick or Vince rebooting "ECW".
EDIT: I thought about it and I'd have to stick The InVasion in there.

yea, but it was my idea. My idea, my pick. Then Why are you even asking for opinions? oh wait I get it. This is all a plan on making that trophy for yourself so you can tell people you won something right? carry on then. |

At one point, he said that he had to turn away from the screen in disgust then added "I need to repeat that again. There was an angle so bad the owner of WRESTLECRAP couldn't watch it". So, yeah, that's my pick. A very close second would be Invasion because of the huge wasted potential. |

Hahaha, well I asked for opinions and gave out my own. Feel free to keep giving out your own and/or selecting your own Gooker of the Decade winner yourself. No need to be a dick to me or anything, I was just having some fun here.
I think Vince Russo booked this thread...

How about the Invasion? If you look at it through a clear cut booking perspective, you had the two biggest companies of all time going at it under one roof - WWF vs. WCW. Instead, there were mostly undercarders(and eventually the WCW side consisted of WWFers who turned heel), McMahon's everywhere, nonsenscial booking, and chopped the ratings in half. WWF/E never recovered from that. It was like the ultimate shark jumper. It was so bad WWE has never made mention it to again. That gets my vote.
