Damien Mizdow is my front runner. It's got all the classic trappings of Wrestlecrap, it went on far too long with peaks and valleys of stupid things happening, no one came out the better for it. Why was Mizdow holding on to this job as if he wasn't primarily employed by WWE? Why did Mizdow, a grown man, feel compelled to abandon a match to shine Miz's shoes? They made no attempt to establish an identity that Mizdow could fall back on post-breakup, leading to that god awful "they said I wasn't entertaining, I proved them wrong, still a loser though" promo, capped off by the current Metapowers run driving him further and further towards obscurity. This isn't just one bad night, this isn't backstage TNA drama, this is long and involved, consistently terrible storytelling.

Once the Gooker went public it lost its importance and meaning.

Damien Sandow has been booked to oblivion via pure Wrestlecrap.

2015 Royal Rumble gets my vote.
I can see what they were trying to do: we're in front of a smark heavy crowd. Bryan ain't winning because he had his moment last year, so let's have him get thrown out early. There's still Ambrose and Ziggler for them to cheer. We'll send them out late and by that time, they will have forgotten all about Bryan. Now have Big Show and Kane eliminate all of their favorites. They already don't like Big Show and Kane, so having them throw out their favorites like Ziggler, Ambrose, and Ryback will make them hate them even more. So when they're left in the ring with Reigns, they'll HAVE to cheer Roman by default, right?
...Right?!?
Well, it backfired.
And the match sucked.

James Storm "murdering" Mickie James on a videotape, and Impact airs it. This should be the one. It's just too f***ing funny. It's perfect Wrestlecrap. Am I the only vote for HHH/Sting here? I thought this match was f***ing wonderful until Triple H won. Sting looked badass, the nWo run-in was glorious despite making no sense, the fans loved Sting, they did a great job of making him look unbeatable, and even if he did lose, it took everyone's finishers and weapons to do it.

So my LOLTNA prediction is looking pretty nice right now.

Gotta be Rumble for the Gooker so far. I think the TNA shit deserves it's own award... possibly in book form. Just saying. *ahemAlverezandRD* THELOLTNAAWARD !!!!!

The Curtis Axel gimmick of never being officially eliminated from the Royal Rumble (I think this is how "#AxelMania" started) could have been a fun few weeks, ala Santino's "Honk-A-Meter". Instead, only a couple of weeks after people started to "get" the angle, Curtis goes into the ring and gets nose-to-nose with Hulk Hogan (shilling WrestleMania, I believe) and is promptly thrown over the top rope by...frickin' Snoop Dogg (or Lion, or whatever he's calling himself this week).
Another is the stupid "let's take the I-C title" hot potato that went on for weeks before the I-C ladder match. (Apparently, Ambrose didn't get the message that the angle had ended, because he then went and stole Seth Rollins' WWE World Heavyweight title.)
Speaking of Ambrose, that dumb street fight he had with Luke Harper in Chicago. The part where Luke jumps in and starts the SUV; then Dean climbs in and they drive off. Um, why would you go after him and risk your life to win a match?
(Man, I like Dean and all, but they put him in some dumb crap. He may be labeled "unstable", but even a lunatic has some brains.)

Also featuring that random ending of SmackDown where Ziggler and Ambrose both call Bryan a turd... For all the blowing up that was done at the time about it, I bet very few actually remember that happening. Even JBL, Mr. "Goatface Farm Animal Troll, Maggle" himself, didn't even bring it up on commentary.

How about just an overall "LOLTNA" award? Between the botched move to DA, half the roster either being racist, homophobic, or telling fans to kill themselves on Twitter, pushing a 43 year old who should have retired almost a decade ago as the top guy in the promotion, and having a televised murder with no on-screen repercussions the entire year has been a turd of epic proportions. Add to that, they just lost a good chunk of their star power over the course of a week. By nomination time, LOLTNA is going to run away with the Gooker, and when we look back on it, we'll wonder how we ever doubted it.

At this point, it's TNA. All of TNA. I have never, in my long life, seen a company so desperate to stay alive and making every wrong, idiotic attempt to do so. Even AWA went out more gracefully than TNA has. It's a school bus fire full of flaming diapers driving downhill towards a dumpster fire factory.
Like I said in another thread, at this point Deal should just rename the Gooker to The Golden Dixie.

honestly as bad as it's been for TNA in recent months, I really don't know if there is anything that has been THAT awful from them this year to be considered Gooker worthy... on screen at least. I mean maybe Jarrett coming back and where this all goes, but otherwise I dunno.
Even with WWE there aren't many things I look at this year and say Gooker. Maybe the Rumble? Maybe the Randy Orton/Rollins feud just for being so drawn out and dumb.

I read the spoilers and while TNA and authority figures all end the same, I didn't see anything that to me personally screamed Gooker. Some things sounded dumb for sure, but only one thing sounds like it may be a contender... but it involves EC3 and I think he can make it work (like he's made everything he's been involved with work)

There is no way the Gooker won't go to TNA for something they have done this year. They have done a lot of dumb things both booking/stories and running the company wise over the years but man it just feels like it is the one final renaissance of LOLTNA before they die howling loudly into the night.
