One of my favorite quotes ever from WrestleCrap Radio has been, "Kane.....WrestleCrap!', when discussing the guy's career or whatever, can't recall the actual context as I'm not one of those memory having guys.
But anywho, my nomination is just tweaking that line and making it, 'TNA...WrestleCrap!'. Just TNA in general. Yeah, sure, there's a few good matches sparkled in through a year long headache of crap, but they're not going to be remembered when you've got blindfold cage matches, PacMan without Blinky and Robert Roode being the hundred dollar man.

feast or fired: a match which makes no sense.
cena vs. federline: it started out the year and it still stinks.
trump vs. rosie: oh god that thing was awful.
WSX getting canceled: let me talk about this one via script format MTV exec 1: ok wsx we think you're too hardcore for our audience so we're going to have to let you go wsx guys: but we can make the fireballs cgi! MTV exec1: sorry but that's still too violent for our network, we wish you the best in your future endeavors. *wsx guys leave office* MTV exec2: so what should we put in their place? MTV exec1: oh a show of kids getting injured in real life. we'll call it scarred.
AJ styles dressing up like a turkey: hey it's almost like the gooker.

1 Rosie vs Donald/Vince vs Donald. Oh god how could this not win? 2 Hornswagle McMahon- Just really stupid from the start and it hasn't got any better 3 Christy Hemme vs VKM (not Vince). 4 TNA Lockdown 2007- not as bad a D2R but still pretty lame 5 Pacman Jones - 1 half TNA World Tag Team Champion...... That cant wrestle or do anything releated to wrestling or even be touched 6 Kurt Angle TNA World, X-Division, and Tag Team Champion - why? 7 WWE Draft 2007. Yeah no bias in that one at all 8 Abyss's Mom/Abyss's Secret. Just two really weird angles that made Abyss look weak. 9 Eric Young vs Robert Roode- Roode hates him yet he wants to hire him...... um ok? 10 Signature Pharmacy Scandal- Made the WWE look like idiots and gave them a ton of bad press which they really didn't need.

Quite honestly, I agree with pretty much everyone on here about Vince. Any angle with him in it this year was horrible, he just needs to get off TV.

I dunno about doing Vince as a whole (ya can't really be funny with the limo thing without seeming rude about Benoit...maybe you can do what the WWE did and disavow that happening and just pick it up at the illegitimate son angle), but the Vince/Trump feud is the clear cut winner to me.

Vince/Trump (this would of course include the Rosie stuff)
Kelly kelly Kelly and Blue Balls
Reverse Battle Royal (Hell combine that with the Feast or Famine and Blind Fold Cage and whatever other "innovative" matches TNA had and call it "Russorific TNA Gimmic Matches"
I personally don't think the Vince explosion thing should be considered due to the obvious circumstances. If last year's was as hard to write as it was to read, this years may be moreso because it would have to end with something along the lines of "the pay off was to happen on RAW, with all sorts of crazy crap planned (I heard that they had the stars of their crime shows [MONK, PYCHE, DEADZONE] in vinettes), but he who shall not be named did that of whcih we shall not speak and the angle was dropped out of respect"

1. Vince 2007 - From feuding with Trump to ECW Champ to having a bastard son, Vince had a year wchich can only be described as wrestlecrap.
2. WSX - A fun little federation that had a huge following with all kinds of crazy stuff gets cancelled cuz MTV probably wanted to give The Real World/Road Rules challenge more airtime
3. Fight for the Right tournament - Get this: A battle royal where to win, you have to go from the outside of the ring to the inside by going over the top rope. Brilliant? Vince Russo thought so.
4. The Great Khali: World Heavyweight Champ - With the agility of a pregnant cow, Khali's title run can be summed up into one word - Forgettable.

* Battle of the Billionaires (includes the whole feud and all the crap that went on before it) * Hornswoggle McMahon (The big reveal that leaves a bad taste in our mouth as much as when the Gobbledy Gooker popped out of the egg) * TNA Lockdown 2007 (The result of the whole show was god awful) * Feast of Fired Match (Vince Russo Booking At Work Here) * Kelly Kelly vs Layla El (A match that made that Jackie Gayda Match look like a 3 and a half star affair) * Great Khali - World Heavyweight Champion (w/ added Batista hilarity) * The Sad Saga of Abyss (A recipe of how to completely make a joke out of a monster faster than poor Glen Jacobs) * VKM vs Christy Hemme (Get this, the woman's rights activist is a heel while the He-Man, Woman Hating VKM are faces) * Adam Pacman Jones (Suspended NFL Player joins TNA, cant wrestle thanks to NFL, and yet still gets a tag team title reign)

To those arguing that the Vince death angle should not be considered this year:
I don't think the Benoit situation should make the Vince death angle excused from being considered for the Gooker. Remember, the announcers sold the angle as if it were a real death, speaking in somber tones and acting like he seriously died. They spoke out of character. They did the ten-bell salute with all of the wrestlers standing in the aisle with a graphic of Vince on the Titon Tron. How does this not cheapen their whole tribute process? The on-air tribute is something that should only be done with real deaths.
When Sherri really died just days after the angle, some in the WWE fought hard in an attempt to stop them from showing any kind of tribute to her on Raw. Only after heavy insistence from some within the company did these people relent and allow them to show a graphic of her later in the broadcast before the diva segment. They refused to show it at the beginning of the broadcast because that was going to be used to further the storyline death of Vince. That's right, the lady WWE inducted into the Hall of Fame the year before didn't get a tribute graphic at the beginning of Raw because they wanted to continue the fake death angle first. She wouldn't have had a graphic at all if some within the company got their way.
As we talked about with last year's Gooker, death is a subject that should never be exploited for storylines. I was so happy the angle was ended, but I hate that it took a double murder/suicide to get WWE to realise how inappropriate the angle was.

I echo Cena a/k/a Hulk Hogan 3000 beating the entire company with one hand tied behind his back on a weekly basis.

Cena constantly defies the odds.....easily. Making one wonder exactly what "the odds" were.

Rosie v. Donald K-Fed v. Cena WSX Stomper Lockdown 2007
I think that's a balanced enough nomination list...
Call me crazy, I didn't hate the Vince death angle. It was a surprise, which seems to be a hard as hell thing to pull off, and aside from them replaying it 4 times a night, I was interested to see where it was going. Besides that, I think trying to compare an entire year worth of stuff vs. single events is a bit one sided.

TNAcrap:
~Eric Young versus Robert Roode: Roode hates Young and explicitly calls him "USELESS" yet intensely desires to hire him, and attempts to do so through bikini contests, seduction, and beatings. As illogical as it gets.
~Kurt Angle: Comedy Relief World Champion: TNA nabs one of the biggest stars ever and reasonably puts the belt on him. Then what? They have him act like a doofus to get some cheap laughs. Way to make your champion strong!
~Lockdown: Electrified Cages. Blindfold Matches. Hector Guerrero sans Turkey suit. All around, a night of bad ideas.
~Barbed Wire Christmas Tree Match: Renders pointless a witty synopsis.
~Judas Mesias and Abyss: Any resemblance to highly successful WWE characters and/or their feud is purely intentional.
------
WWEcrap:
~Media Response to Benoit Tragedy: Nancy Grace and the Woman with the Mouth blather about "emulating the Grunge", whatever the heck THAT is. Meanwhile, Finlay and Mr. Kennedy make fools of themselves.
~15th Anniversary Dumb Gimmicks Battle Royal: The World watched and, in Indiana, one man cackled with perverse glee.
~The Hornswaggle/Carlito Skit: There are no words for how much I hated this.
