Hey RD and the Gang:
Love the site... been a fan for a few years now.
I know that we have to wait until the end of the year to crown the Gooker award winner. But there are just so many gimmicks in WWE that are so deserving of the award...
Jillian Hall as The Mole
The Boogeyman
Rob "The Con Man/Village Person" Conway
Diva Search: Back By Unpopular Demand
Simon "The Lost Bodydonna" Dean
Muhammad Hassan
WWE's Explanation for Hassan's "Non-terrorist" Angle
Viscera aka Sexual Butterball
All My Children-- Starring Rey Mysterio & Eddie Guerrero (is it true they're booking a guest appearance by Susan Lucci?)
The list goes on and on and on.
My question is-- can't we take some of the really crappiest gimmicks and induct them right now? I think the Mole, Viscera, and WWE's handling of the Hassan angle should go right in.
Thanks again.

I think the reasons they're not inducted right away is to wait to see how it develops(I think it talked about it in the FAQs).
Take Eugene for example. At first everyone thought it would be the worst angle ever. But it developped and got better. Eugene had a good match with Rob Conway, and used a lot of old school moves and entrance music to get over as a fan of wrestling who was mentally handicapped.
Plus they haven't been on Tv much, and it would be hard to write something about someone like Jillian(who I think will be a front runner).
Vis I don't think will be in as he is really over with the crowd. You'll have to wait til the end of the year for Hassan and the terrorist thing. It's best to wait.

Vis I don't think will be in as he is really over with the crowd. Why do people keep saying this!? The dude is NOT over. He gets a tepid maybe drifting to a slight positive reaction. If he vanished tomorrow no one would care. |

However much the internet hates the Eddie/Rey angle....it's getting huge rating for the show, hence why it hasn't been pulled off yet. In fact, many people seem to enjoy it. Simon Dead is actually doing pretty decent, and it's not like he's hurting anyone (although it's CRAP they just don't let him be Nova). The Boogeyman hasn't even been on TV yet, so you can't do anything with him.
Who knows, maybe five years from now the Boogeyman will be the next Stone Cold?

Yeah if this website was around in 1990, everybody would be like "Geez do you think The Undertaker is Wrestlecrap?"

I'm just saying some people here don't have a strong grip on what Wrestlecrapp is.

I always hold off on inducting stuff for at least a year (well, I try anyway), that way they can be in the running for the Gooker. It also gives stuff a chance to play out. For instance, when they started the Eugene character I thought, "Well, there's your Gooker winner." But Nick Dinsmore has done so well with it that it will likely never be inducted. Wrestling's weird that way. RD |

I always thought the old definitons were a nice way of dealing with whatever wrestlecrap just happened that week.
