Agreeing that Ambrose's heel turn could've been on there (especially the inoculation promo alone), but so could've "One night in Minneapolis", or, well, the entire needless split of Rusev Day

Nah, Ambrose brought it up in a few promos, Rollins did too and the announcers continuously mentioned it in their entire feud. Oh, well then there you are ... Yeah it was rough during that feud.

Voted Crown Jewel, though I consider Shane as Best in the World to be part of that whole debacle.

Things like Crown Jewel and Eddiesploitation should never be on this list.
I read Wrestlecrap to escape the real world. Crown Jewel was a real world controversy. I don't want this. I watch wrestling for escapism too.
Wrestlecrap is supposed to be FUN. Shit like this is why I barely read the site any more.

Something I noticed. Aside from Crown Jewel and the Shane McMahon one. Pretty much all the nominees are Raw related.
Yay! Smackdown!

Take out the controversy surrounding Crown Jewel, and I think it still wins this. I only saw clips of that main event, and it was equal parts sad and hilariously bad. Shane winning a best in the world tournament he wasn't even in to begin with... It was a late WCW PPV in 2018.

Nicholas was awesome, I will die on this hill. It would have been better to not sacrifice the entire tag team division for a cutesy little joke is all EDIT: Beginning of the end for Strowman, too. That's exactly the kind of thing that makes people go, "You know what, f*** this smug asshole who never loses." That was not quite the moment I realized that Braun was going to be the unfortunate recipient of the John Cena Top Guy Monkey Paw (previous owner: Roman Reigns) as I felt the cello/bass segment was it, but it certainly didn't change my mind at all.

If I could trust the entry was just 'Crown Jewel, but just for how shit it was' then I would be all behind it.

If you ignore the political backstory of Crown Jewel, You still have the single worst tag team match to ever take place in WWE. Yes, I say that with no hyperbole.

I agree that that show sucks; you were likely typing this while I wrote my last reply. If I believed the article would only talk about bad booking I would read the shit out of it.

Solid list. I'm going with Shane as it should include the entire stupidity that is the WWE "World" Cup, but there's many other worthy entries.

Crown Jewel was obscene, but I feel like something over the top, ridiculous, and hilariously bad is more in the spirit of the gooker than something that is just... well, what Crown Jewel was. I'm more of a fan of 'honoring' things that were funny-bad.

You know it's been a bad year when 3 drag queens in an "End this please" segment that kills the credibility of someone TNA made look good isn't even getting 10% Yeah, any other year, this would have probably been my pick, but from a purely "this is gross" move, I'd go with Crown Jewel. You know it's bad when it makes WCW's show they did for North Korea look less scummy by comparison.

Can't disagree with Crown Jewel deserving the (dis)honor.
While the squandering of Braun made me decide to stop giving the McMahonopoly so much of my time, it was Crown Jewel that made me decide to stop giving them money.

Crown Jewel will (and should) win this but I threw my vote for John Cena vs. The Undertaker. People have been calling for this match but the only interest I had in it was to see if Vince would let Cena be the one to break the Streak. Once Brock broke it I had no desire to see it, especially as Taker looked more broken down. He really should have walked away even before his "retirement" after his match with Roman.
But instead we get Cena crying for months about needing to get booked at WrestleMania (as if the WWE really couldn't find a match for him) and basically calling Taker a bitch each week (and the closet we'll ever get to heel Cena) while Taker just no shows week after week.
But at WrestleMania, instead of Cena fighting Strowman or Samoa Joe or any of the dozens of better options he just goofs around n the crowd until Taker finally shows up, making his emotional farewell last year completely pointless, and for what? A three minute squash in which Cena gets almost no offense.
In the end both legends ended up looking like garbage. God that pissed me off.

Crown Jewel has to win it. And I'm surprised the exploitation of Roman's leukemia isn't on the list. It's good it's not on the list only so that how bad 2019 is going to do with it if Seth/Lesnar is true will mean it's not a repeat contender. As far as Crown Jewel winning, the silver lining is that the show itself was apparently terrible enough that they could touch on 0% of the complicated situation and still have a lengthy article just out of what actually happened. Hell, harp on Shane winning it for half the induction, it's clearly the strong runner up.

WHY WON'T YOU RETURN MY TEXTS, MAN?"

Ignore the WWE disgustingly going to Saudi Arabia and take Crown Jewel at face value.
The main event is Undertaker. And Kane. Vs HBK. And HHH. In 2018.
Of course Crown Jewel is the worst.

Stuff like Crown Jewel is why they should've split the Gooker in two years ago, with a category for "Most Hilariously Wrestlecrappy" and one for "This is Appalling, Holy Shit".
Granted, I'm sure an argument could be made why Crown Jewel would qualify for both categories, but still.
