REJECTED

  1  0  0    5   Hulk Hogan
  1  0  0    5   Darryl from Tough Enough

RYAN HALL: Undertaker, Adams, Clarke.  And to think they put all three of
these guys in the ring at the SAME TIME.

EDDIE BURKETT: I don't like names starting with B apparently.  They all
suck.  Bagwell most because he killed WCW under Vince.

HIRO: I wish Undertaker would retire before the fans get truly sick with
him.

PAUL ZOROVICH:  Bagwell again.  See my comment for #16 above.

CHIP BOOTS: Bagwell pretty much killed an entire promotional plan by
himself.

SCOTT WORDEN: Worst Worker..  Chyna again.. ugh..  Hey, be happy someone
beat Undertaker in a vote.. Don't worry Mark, I did vote for ya as number
2.

SEAN FLYNN: What do you get if you add a healthy heaping of no-selling, a
slice of squash (of young workers), a chunk of slowness, a wedgie-bomb
that always takes forever to set up and kills credibility of the person
taking it, and a dash of bad pseudo-shootfighting?  You get the worst
worker of the year! Take a bow Undertaker, you ruined more matches than
anyone else in this year.  His apparent role model, the Big Poochie
himself comes in second, again due to having the decency to not appear a
whole lot this year.

NATRBOY72: I voted for 1) Rick Steiner for intentionally injuring
opponents 2) RVD for unintentionally injuring opponents 3) Lex Luger for
being totally unprofessional (slightly more so than Chyna or Buff)

PETER HAZLETT: How many pushes with different partners until they figure
out it isn't the partner, but Gunn himself?

SIMON GRIER: Chyna might be a rolemodel for girls accross the world by
having lots of plastic surgery and going in Playboy, but that won't make
wrestling fans cheer for you. And who the hell would cheer for Gunn or
Sid?

JOHN C.: Nash, Bagwell and Luger are three lazy workers that typified why
WCW went out of business. They're even worse than Billy Gunn and that's
saying something.

SCOTT CHRIST: Test suuuucks.

JOE GENTILE: I guess anyone who could ruin the biggest angle in the
history of wrestling with a single match really deserves this award, don't
you, Buff? I don't know what you call what The Undertaker does in the
ring, but it is NOT working. Tommy Dreamer, It just hurts seeing you stand
there on TV.

BLAZEJ SZPAKOWICZ: Undertaker. Bagwell. Chyna. You may see an odd
correlation between these votes and my picks for worst wrestler. Odd,
that...

YNAE316: They ARE the weakest link.  Goodbye.

SHANE SPEAR: Luger, Adams, and X-Pac could be the three worst wrestlers
I've seen in some time.  It's almost an instant way of making sure the
fans change the channel.
