This is different from KWABOTY, it's awarded to worst wrestling storyline or event of the year.

>Each year's Gooker Award, with the exceptions of 2001 and 2002, was determined by a poll of site visitors. The 2001 and 2002 awards were chosen by Reynolds, since he felt there was no competition those years. For the 2014 award, Reynolds declared that Vince McMahon's comments about "brass rings" and the Bella Twins feud were co-winners due to irregularities in the voting.

FUCK these stupid faggots, their opinions are not worth trash, spit, or even piss. I don't give a shit about them or anything they claim. Ric Flair's Last Match was great, and the only people who thought otherwise were the pearl clutching faggots who supported the false allegations against Ric Flair. Only a complete bitch boy would actually care about Flair twirling his dick in front of some airline slut. The Samhain coke spot was NOT a big deal and these people are clearly among the faggot shills who were paid to amplify that incident and enact a public shaming campaign against the NWA when THE GODDAMN COCAINE WASN'T EVEN REAL. And furthermore, anyone who hates based Hornswoggle that much is not to be trusted. I spit on these faggots and all who shill for them.

this award is supposedly for storylines, not matches tho. I enjoyed the match and so did many others but that's not the point. the point is that there was only a brief storyline to set up Flair's last match, there wasn't even much there to criticize. That result was clearly done in support of the cancel culture and that is unforgivable.

no it was proof that these people are paid shills. NOBODY gave a fuck about the samhain coke spot until morons like these started screeching about it. I actually watch every NWA show and even I didn't give a fuck about that until it was turned into a shaming campaign which was not at all organic. and it is no coincidence that this happened right at the same time when the NWA got a TV deal. This incident was used as an excuse to cancel that deal and anyone who helped with that shit should be boiled in oil.

I don't give a fuck, the match itself was fine. I was there and thousands of people enjoyed that match despite flair's age and limitations. nobody expected him to go out there and do lucha shit, we just wanted to see the GOAT do his thing one last time. that's all that was expected and that was delivered just fine.

you ignorant faggot, the cancel culture is the reason why Flair had to do his last match as an indie show, and it was still a massive success despite all the pearl clutching faggots. I will absolutely defend the GOAT as well as Jarrett, Lethal and even Andrade. they did the best match that could possibly have been done in that situation. you know absolutely nothing and you are probably just a marxist faggot who is angry that Ric Flair, like Hulk Hogan, managed to un-cancel himself and make you look like fools once again.

>>2023 (co-winner): CM Punk in AEW.
Why would this qualify? Most of what Punk did on TV in 2023 was pretty good. It was the shit we didn't see that was memeworthy, and that ended up (rightfully) winning in 2024 when they actually showed the footage.
That was the same summer they ran Jeff Hardy vs Jeff Jarrett in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre match. If AEW booked any truly bottom tier shit in 2023 it was that. There's a thread about how bad it was on the catalog right now, 2.5 years later. Meanwhile Punk's Collision had those FTR/Bullet Club tags and the "tell me when I'm tellin' lies" promo. It was solid.
