The Gooker Award 2008

For the n00bs who don't know what it is, it's the wrestlecrap award for the worse angle of the year.

Who do you think will win it this year~!?

I don't watch TNA but expect the fish market fight to win. As for WWE Mike Adamle being GM wins their gooker.

I think Million Dollar Mania might push it close. That was pure TV gold

Seems to be all in here but Braden Walker could be a sneaky winner.

There's no standout winner like there has been in previous years. I mean a couple of years ago nobody but Eddie Guerrero's exploitation was going to win, and Katie Vick in 2002 was a dead cert.

For me it's the Million Dollar Mania, but at the moment Adalme's winning by a country mile.

Its the Dutt-Lethal-Val love triangle for me. How they fucked this up I will never know, they didnt need a big complicated storyline for this to work they could just have made the 2 guys fight instead of dragging it out with the shitty storyline and the hammy acting from Val and Leathal

I actually liked the fish market fight it wasnt taken too seriously and ended up being a lot of fun or at least I thought so anyway

All good contenders, but for me only one both detoured away from an attempt at entertainment whilst embarassing all parties involved - Barack v Hillary

I mean..."If you smell what Barack is cooking"...please!

Went for Adamle as he was flat out terrible from his inclusion into WWE right through to his departure.

What a waste of time and money.


Million Dollar was funny as hell though in that so bad it's good way.

Not sure why the Diva's championship is there, I thought Michelle McCool's defenses made it a worthy addition.

Adamle was awful but it produced some hilarity, whereas I found the Million Dollar Mania insulting to my intelligence. Something just doesn't feel right about getting people to watch the show just for the chance of winning cash - plus the segments were boring as hell.

And the winner is...

Spoiler:

Hopefully they will do one for the decade, my money is on Katie Vick!

And Adalme receives an honorary award for being the least appauling recipient of the award... on account that he didn't shag an old man to death, shag a woman after death, exploit a real life wrestler's death, ass rape a dying competing wrestling company, pull anything out of JRs ass or have anything to do with the Diva search

His commentating did make JRs colon spin in its grave though

You forgot- give birth to a human hand.

Which never won the Gooker award.

I thought Mae Young won in 2000. But I see David Arquette edged her out by a bit. My mistake.

Mae Young should of won it. Arquette was really bad but Mae Young put me off of WWE until the invasion angle came around. If you remember how bad WCW was round that time you'll understand the significance!

Yeah I was absolutely convinced she won it until I looked it up. She was winning for a while, but I guess Arquette won by less than 1%.

I don't care how bad Arquette was (I did see a lot of that storyline), nothing beats a 77 year old woman giving birth to an adult sized white hand (while smoking a cigar), with a black man as the father, with Moolah, Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco in the delivery room. All ending with Brisco vomiting and Pat Patterson saying "Let's give Mae a hand".

I demand a re-count!

Mae Young giving birth to a hand was pretty bad, but it's not like it wasn't treated as comedy at the time. David Arquette winning the title was a serious, main event angle that they expected to do business.
