  0  1  0        Duplicated votes

RYAN HALL: Goldberg, Chyna, Undertaker.  You think RVD injures people?  
Watch a Goldberg match.  As for Chyna - Women can't drive like men so why
should they try to wrestle with them?

EDDIE BURKETT: Buff Bagwell single handedly killed the Invasion.  Haku
sucks, and I'm glad he's not on tv right now.  Billy Gunn sucks too.

PAUL ZOROVICH:  Buff Bagwell, no doubt.  His ineptness against Booker T
almost single-handedly destroyed the revived WCW.

JESSE HARALDSON: Whose dumb idea was it to take away the Godfathers ho's?

CHIP BOOTS: Bradshaw's a "hoss," whatever that means.

SCOTT WORDEN: Worst wrestler?  I think there is possible way to take
"worst wrestler" and unscramble that and spell Undertaker..  May need some
imaginary letters, kinda like the square root of a negative number.  I
think it is possible to spell it though.. Billy Gunn.  Heh..  Doesn't Ross
say he is a great athlete.  I though great athletes did not blow up in 2
minutes?

MAIKA BENNETT: Undertaker is just a horrible wrestler to watch.  The
sooner he retires the better.

CHRIS BIRD: He's a lousy wrestler. Anybody who threatens his position on
TV 38. Ignoring how bad the suddenly has "timing issues" because he's
sooooo respected backstage. He nearly kills people with his finisher on a
regular basis. And for some reason, despite the fact that he has NEVER
drawn as a main-eventer, he's always in the main event picture. Ladies and
gents, I give you the Undertaker.

SEAN FLYNN: Let the parade of votes for Undertaker in worst categories
begin.  I have not enjoyed one Undertaker match this year.  I change the
channel when he comes on my tv.  He is not interesting, not fun to watch,
drags down angles he is with, squashes wrestlers who don't carry his bags
or whatever else pisses him off on a given day, and just generally makes
me unhappy when I see him on tv.

CANZ: Every time I see the Undertaker wrestle now I wonder "Who forget to
shovel the dirt here?" When you were never good to begin with and rapidly
get worse over several years, something is wrong. It's time to retire old
fat tall man.

KEVIN WONG: Steph.  Chyna.  Terri Gold.  As much as I'd like to see
women's wrestling in North America, these are three women that shouldn't
be a part of it...

DONNY L: Chyna makes me sick,

PETER HAZLETT: Regal = ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.  Bagwell proved it, didn't he?

SIMON GRIER: Chyna is an absolutely atrocious wrestler. That she thinks
she should have been put over Rock for the WWF title is laughable. Can she
name one competitive physical sport in which a woman could beat the male
world champion? There isn't one. She isn't even a bad worker, she is
utterly dismal. She makes Bull Buchanan look like Ric Flair, and even
stops Billy Gunn from being the worst person in the ring. Thank God she's
gone and the women's division can live again. Gunn tries hard but just
looks out of place in a wrestling ring and gets blown up too easily. Rick
Steiner didn't even try hard, he was just a pathetic embarassment to the
business by the end of WCW.

ESTRAGAND: Lana Star, but I don't think she's there for her workrate in
the ring.

JOHN C.: Goldberg, Bagwell and Luger win out for this award. It was tough
to leave the likes of Nash and Hogan off the list but I think it's time
that these three "wrestlers" (and I use that term loosely) win the award.

SCOTT CHRIST: I hate Test's damn guts.

JOE GENTILE: Oh, don't treat like a woman, don't treat her like a man,
treat her like you know her.... UNEMPLOYED! There isnt a hole deep enough
that Stephanie can fall into as far as I am concerned.  Undertaker just
sucks. I get angry evey time I see his no-selling ass on television.

PIEMAN: I am not sure how many times Billy Gunn's name is going to come
up, but I bet it's a lot.  He really is not very good.

BLAZEJ SZPAKOWICZ: Undertaker; I figure the one guy Kurt Angle *can't*
carry to a good match deserves this award hands down. More to the point,
Taker has worked only about two matches over ** this year, and had to be
carried by the likes of Austin and H to accomplish that. And his
sub-Hoganesque technical skills are a joke. Buff Bagwell seemingly jinxed
the whole invasion angle from the get-go (it never recovered) and became
the first wrestler to ever get kicked out of the WWF on account of being a
shit wrestler. I think this speaks for itself... Chyna, having lost her
novelty value, finally stood revealed this year as a horrible worker. God
alone knows how Jericho managed to carry her over *** a couple of years
back.

MATTY TONKIN: Billy Gunn sucks. Full Stop.

YNAE316: Jeff Hardy:  Tons of great looking high-risk maneuvers, but
doesn't show much else!!!  (Though I'm sure' he has a lot more to
offer...)  Slam Dunk:  Couldn't work for shit... Road Dogg:  TONS of
charisma, crappy wrestler, lame moves...

SHANE SPEAR: BUFF BAGWELL WAS THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF WCW.  You
can give Booker (and Vince's whole set-up of the new company) some of that
credit, but that match KILLED WCW and the Invasion FLAT.  I hate Buff, and
I hope he enjoys his time in the indys, because that's where he'll be
forevermore...THANK GOD!  Hugh Morris is a fat disgrace.  I'm sorry, but
one moonsault is not a moveset.  What possessed the WWF to offer him a
contract is way beyond me.  So long Ric Steiner.  I think the only thing
I'll miss about him was the fact that he was blamed for more in ring
accident than RVD.
