REJECTED

  5  1  0        Hardy Boyz

RYAN HALL: Linda, Chyna, Benoit.  Linda tries at least.  Chyna NEVER has
anything important to say.

SCOTT WORDEN: Worst interview.. Never liked Billy and Steve Blackman is no
mic killer..

CHRIS BIRD: Linda McMahon phoned to tell me her acceptance of my
nomination of her for worst interview. Here's the transcription. "Dear
Christopher.  I am enthusiastic ... and proud to ...
accept your nomination...  ...here in GREENLEAFCONNECTICUT!  Now I think ... ALL the people ... would agree with you. BUT.
 I think we should let them speak their mind."

MARK POLISHUK: Test has the speaking ability of a jock trying out for a
high school play, and yet is still being pushed into a major position.  
Sigh.

CANZ: I don't believe there is a speech impediment font yet so transcribe
a Chris Benoit interview as an example of how bad they are is quite
impossible. Keep this dwarf away from the mic!

MIKE JOHNSON: 1. Steph's promos literally make my skin crawl.  Her
screechy voice, her utter lack of acting abilty, ugh!  This is hopefully
the last of her for at least six months.

GREG SAKAKI: Team Xtreme should sweep the podium in this category.

DONNY L: Big Poppa Mumbles is first, Test is second and Xpac third

PETER HAZLETT: Does SMH always have to shrill like that?

SIMON GRIER: Chyna has an awful speaking voice, but it isn't how she
speaks that annoys me as much sa *what* she speaks. I am the greatest role
model, blah blah blah. She is a channel changer. Debra's southern drawl is
as awful as her fake appearance, and Gunn always looks as out of place
behind the mic as he does in the ring.

ESTRAGAND: Shane McMahon (may 2001): "Cuz ya see.. unlike you, dad... it's
not about me. It's about the WCW superstars".

JOHN C.: Has Billy Gunn or Jeff Hardy ever cut a good promo? Ever? Rick
Steiner just didn't give a damn about anybody in his last days.

JOE GENTILE: YA KNOW, YA REALLY DON'T NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DO
INTERVIEWS!!!!! AS LONG AS YOU CAN SCREAM ON THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS LIKE
BRIAN KNOBBS, YOU'LL GET PLENTY OF TV TIME!!!

BLAZEJ SZPAKOWICZ: Last year I didn't vote for the Hardyz here because
they don't talk, and I don't believe of accusing people of being bad at
something no-one ever lets them do. Well, now I have heard them talk on a
few (rare) occasions, and since they're more wooden than a rainforest,
I'll gladly vote for them. That said, they still need to talk more, cos if
they never do, they'll never improve. And however bad the Hardyz may be on
the mic, Linda McMahon still trumps them. Easily. So, 1. Linda McMahon, 2.
Jeff Hardy, 3. Matt Hardy.

CHRIS LENING: Scott Steiner wins an honorary third for being so bad an
interview it's unintentionally entertaining. Stephanie McMahon screeches
her way to second, avoiding first likely only because of the godliness
that is my Fast Forward button. But no interview I saw this year, even
from Stephanie, was half as bad as one from a certain Pogo the Clown in
XPW, as this corpulent pajama-clad person proceeded to just throw out a
metric ton of expletives, with almost no other emotion outside of slight
irritation. C'mon, if you're gonna say the F-word 700 times in three
minutes, at least make it seem like you're sorta pissed. It's like the
profanity equivalent of cold mechanical sex.

YNAE316: Gosh, what a waste of airtime....

BEE MONTEVERDE: Die Team Xtreme!

MATT SPAULDING: Steiner, Sid, and Justin, same three as last year.
