Award Description:

To be given to the person whose casting as a good guy just didn't work
well. Maybe there was just no face heat drawn or maybe the fans actually
booed this person, but for whatever reason the face image just didn't get
over.

REJECTED

  0  1  0        WCW

RYAN HALL: Angle, Chyna, Rock.  Angle bombed as face champ.  Everyone
hates Chyna.  Do you remember Rock as a heel?  I do, and I wish he was
again.

EDDIE BURKETT: X-Pac simply CANNOT get cheers.  The Dudley Boys babyface
act was getting stale when they turned heel.  Good move for them.

PAUL ZOROVICH:  Kurt Angle works best as a heel.  With that clean-cut
image, you just EXPECT him to be a face, don't you?  I don't think I need
to explain why I have Billy Gunn on my list.

SCOTT CRAWFORD: See #18, multiplied by 3. What happened to Sara, anyways?
Did they do an injury angle that they never REALLY paid off on
(Poochietaker squashing DDP 400 times in a row is hardly a blowoff; look
at what 'Taker did in those matches, and tell me that she shouldn't have
been able to come back from a DDP-inflicted injury...), and just forget
about her, or did she fade into obscurity, destined for
Gobbledygooker-level infamy?

SCOTT WORDEN: Worst babyface.  Who do you think,, Chyna again.  Remember
her face period?  No, neither do a lot.. Wonder is she can clean sweep the
worst categories this year?

CHRIS BIRD: Linda McMahon. You know, I think nobody in the history of the
world has ever cheered for anything she's ever said except when she said
"Mick Foley" or "The Rock." Also, I voted for Maven for third. Not that
he's really that bad as a face, but he's no Josh!

SEAN FLYNN: I so wanted to vote Undertaker first here, but the appearance
of Billy Gunn as a face at any point during the voting year automatically
puts him in first.  It's like a law of nature or something.  Undertaker
does get a close second though.  He gets a pop for the Fred Durst(ugh!)
entrance and his nifty bike.  Then people remember "hey it's the
Undertaker, he's pretty boring.  Has a nice bike though."

PETER HAZLETT: Just doesn't seem right that Kane is good and not evil

ESTRAGAND: Last I checked, there is only one Bagwell mark in North
america- Rick Steiner's old partner, Judy Bagwell.

MICHAEL STAKELY: Mainly because everybody and their dog knows Vince will
have turned EEEEEEVVVVVIILLLLL again by the time the voting results are
announced, probably at Survivor Series or the RAW right after.

JOHN C.: Chyna wins this one too because she thought she was on the level
of an Austin or Rock as far as popularity even though fans were very tired
of her stale act.

SCOTT CHRIST: I hate Test. But I hate Chyna more.

JOE GENTILE: The only thing Kwik about K-Kwik was the speed in which he
gets squashed. Oh, X-Pac, how hated must you be if you are the only WWF
guy in this whole Invasion angle to draw boos. And Billy Gunn, no matter
what name you use, you are still an ass, man!

BLAZEJ SZPAKOWICZ: X-Pac. No one cared about him as a heel, why would
anyone care about him as a face? Still, it takes talent to be the only WWF
wrestler who *couldn't* be turned face by invasion angle. Billy Gunn is
second. He's nearly as popular as Richard Nixon in his prime. Kurt Angle
gets third. He was actually a great face... until Summerslam. After that,
he fell completely flat, more due to the WWF's mismanagement of his
character than through any fault of his own. Too bad.

YNAE316: Sara:  Looks good, but ultimately lame character... Terri Gold:  
So-so wrestler, out of date gimmick.  "Loves the kids!!" X-Pac:  Funniest
thing was watching him do a BIG COMEBACK trying to rally the crowd to no
pop whatsoever!!!!

SHANE SPEAR: Yeah, Billy Gunn was SOOO over that his huge heel turn
happened on Heat.  That's right, Sunday Night Heat.  Gunn could be the
worst Babyface of all time, as he couldn't get to the main event in any
capacity this year.  Kevin Nash and Chyna round out the stupid, pointless
faces in the crowd.

RYAN FAULCONER: Kurt Angle's babyface run was so forced and shallow.
Undertaker and Kane get the other two spots because I never understood why
I should cheer for them.

WILL SCHLICKENMAIER: Yes, Bagwell was my worst heel, but he was also my
worst face... he tried working face some in WWA.

THE CUBS FAN: So, I'm reading the WWF.com and X-Pac is talking about how
smart he is and complaining about not getting any TV time with his belt
and I'm like "sure sure but you probably shouldn't known that if you're so
smart" and talking about how great a heel he is, "ha ha whatever", and
then he talked about how he could be a great babyface if he wanted to and
I laughed like I never laughed before. And then he and X-Factor played
babyface on Heat (Heat's a weird place) and he was trying to get the crowd
in for the desperation tag but NO ONE CARED and I laughed even more.
