One thing that I think should at least be on the ballot is the whole "we're gonna change! You're the authority now!" Promo especially in hindsight. Sure, but that promo was in 2018. Holy crap.

Taking aside stuff like the Saudi shows I dare say I might have to go with a more unpopular pick, namely that idiotic battle royale on the AEW preshow. I say this because it was the first impression a new promotion made and it was horrid. Add in it was to crown a #1 contender in Page (who hasn't recovered) and also saw a now top heel (Spears) eliminated by a legless man, and it is the poisoned well that is killing the trees before they can grow.

Man you are really overblowing the imlact and importance of that battleroyal. Ita worst crime was having convoluted rules.

Yeah, I miss when the Gooker was about goofy or stupid angles/characters instead of essentially becoming all about I HATE ____ about the product! THe above is why I wish RD would stop letting it be voted on. Feels like the last 6 or so years the Gooker has went to whatever a section of the IWC hates. Even if it wouldnt have won the Gooker years ago. Lol, considering David Arquette was one of the first gookers, and that wasn't a goofy fun angle, in fact there was a lot of annoyance, then I think you're way out. People talking about the original as if it was only ever literally like a few friends throwing peanuts and wacky laughs. As if it was only like a campfire and you'd all roast marshmellows as Uncle RD divulges a few tall tales. It's always been a kind of review/editorial site on essentially any bad gimmicks, even if the goofy gimmicks were fan favourites, or do you forget the anger over the I.R.S. induction?

Angelina Love being an idiot and probably killing ROH I know the Gooker is for booking (characters, angles), but if we can add real life to it, YES. "Go be a fan-Gate" should be considered by all means. If anything I'd hope it opened eyes to when wrestlers/agents/bookers have toxic attitudes towards fans. I mean, I feel lucky that WWE trolling with the writing is all we get from them. At least they don't pull fans and send them to be threatened personally. Or they have their stars go on personal attacks to fans who critique them.

It's not about the angle being goofy. It's about the writeup being goofy. Wrestlecrap is a damn comedy site. 700 words of why booking Arquette as your heavyweight champion is moronic can be funny. 700 words of 'Vince says some things on a podcast that appear to contradict his booking strategy' is why I don't read wrestling news sites. Like, Eddiesploitation never should have been nominated for the Gooker either, but that was 14 years back now and was an outlier.

24/7 Title is the only thing I can really think of that would have really qualified for Gooker of the Year in the old days.

Raw is Cucks is a strong contender as of now, but other than that, The Librarians. It’s not really over, hasn’t produced any good matches, and I’m not sure there are even people out there who like it.

It'd be like making the Gooker Becky Lynch riverdancing the year she debuted.
