JOSEPH HOFFMAN: The Original NWO is reunited! DON DEL GRANDE: The "wannabes" aren't expected to work, so I left them out here. HIRO: Undertaker is just too old and injured, plain and simple. Chyna, like I said, would've faired better if she joined the women's ranks, but nooo, she just had to fight with men instead. Big Show is in the same league as UT, but I think he still has time on his side so maybe he'll improve next year. JUSTIN McGROTTY: Would like to add a reason why I chose Rob Van Dam as one of the 3 worse workers of the year, since I know he will not be on a lot of ballots in that position. Anytime that RVD is in the ring, he only caters to the people who come to see him, with no care in his mind to help carry a match. To achieve this, he will perform a move, then spend 30 seconds or so posing, pointing and all-around killing the flow of a match. For this, the only time he can be involved in a good match is when someone else carries him in it. His style makes him one of the worse wrestlers in the ring today. ROBERT STRUPP: Man, is Kevin Nash horrid or what? Russo isn't much better, but at least he can claim to not being a "trained" wrestler. Sid looked bad, even with Benoit across the ring from him. That says a lot as to how bad he is. MICHAEL STAKELY: It's likely that David Flair will easily carry this category, I can't vote him though. He puts a whole helluva lot of effort into his work (far more than several of the past few WCW champions who names are not Jarrett or Booker) and actually seems to be enjoying doing it, it's just too bad that he doesn't have enough experience. If he had recieved more training before entering the business, he might actually have had a future in wrestling, now it's too late for that. SCOTT W.: WCW has the current Big 3 in worst workers. Hogan, Duggan, and Goldberg. Maybe there should be a separate category for the WWF, so Viscera and Midean get their share of the votes. DONNIE VOMIT: I've said it once and I'll say it again: if Chyna doesn't win this category by a frickin mile, I'll tip over some leg amputees. She's got no timing, she punches like a girl, no workrate, her handspring elbow sucks... I could go on. Undertaker's picked it up lately, but he shouldn't be going over the likes of Jericho or losing Dustily to Kurt Angle. He should be putting over the talent like Mick did at the end of his run. And Tommy Dreamer is retired now (hopefully), but it doesn't override the fact that he sucked this year. MARCUS SPARKS: I repeat: DAVID F-ing ARQUETTE had NO BUSINESS being a world champion. Nash may be a wrestler in name only. Tommy Dreamer's injuries are seriously hampering him. JOHN C.: Has The Cat ever had a watchable match? It's amazing how Lex Luger and Hulk Hogan still have no idea on how to put on a good match despite the past that they have been in this business for such a long time. ANDY P. GOSS: "Nash, yes! Hogan, no! Nash, yes! Hogan, no!" Meanwhile, New Jack and Sandman know nothing about moveset, transitions, workrate, or psychology, and thus ignore them in their matches in favor of beating people up. That puts them here. STEPHEN TISZENKEL: I just changed my no-write-in-votes policy. I dare anybody to explain to me why any given wrestler is a worse worker than Road Dogg. JON WALTON: Kevin Nash and Sid are both so awful it's hard to pick a winner. Tails said Sid Vicioius. MARKUS: 4th place: Godfather JAMES HOWARD: The WWF terminated the contracts of Vader and the Blue Meanie because they claim that the two men were overweight and slow, and thus were not worthwhile WWF material. But *Viscera*... *Viscera* they keep. I am *sure* there is a logical explanation for this. ^_^ JUST JEFF: I would've included David Arquette in my list of nominees, but he's not really a wrestler. JOE GAGNE: Nash has gotten so lazy it?s embarassing. A gimmick change can?t cover up that the Goodfather is a terrible wrestler. Lex Luger remains an absolute load in the ring. TROY OLSON: It's hard not to put Chyna on this list, but at least she exerts effort in her matches and looks like she wants to be there=85 JEREMY DELINE: Watching Vince Russo No-Sell Ric Flair's figure four was the single most obnoxious thing his character did in the ring. Kevin Nash is the textbook example of a poor worker, and David Arquette's constant (even while trying to feign unconciousness) goofy smile undermined any sense of realism in his matches. his entire presence was one big joke.. NATHAN LONEY: Kevin Nash doesn't know a wristlock from a wristwatch. I think he wasn't paying attention at wrestling school that day, because he was combing his hair, and wondering how he can pass through with a minimum amount of effort... kinda like his matches today. Sad. New Jack isn't a wrestler. I only rated him second because he knows he isn't. Buff Bagwell sucks. His attitude sucks backstage, and he sucks the pipe in the ring. BILL LEHECKA: Just because Chyna's a woman she's thrusted into the IC title hunt because she might be able to take one or two bumps tops? I know of numerous workers who deserved holding the belt rather than her. NATE PATRIN: Nash beats Arquette solely because Arquette isn't *expected* to be a competent wrestler. BLAZEJ SZPAKOWICZ: I think David Arquette being the worst "worker" (and I use the term loosely) in wrestling this years should go without saying... but I'll say it anyway. Sid Viscous and Big Slow both got pushed to their federation's respective titles, and yet neither of them could wrestle his way out of a wet paper bag, and neither's good for more than the odd pop. OCTAVIAN: You don't have the WWF pay you millions of dollars and send you to Ohio without being a pretty shitty worker, eh Big Show? LAWRENCE BENEDETTO: Every move Chyna does sucks--and not in a good way! TANVIR RAQUIB: Sadly, Big Bossman did not bust enough funny Japanese submissions. Therefore, he is the Worst Worker of the year. JOHN DONALDSON: All of my choices are just too lazy: Lex Luger is too in love with his pectorals to focus on putting on a quality match anymore, Sid's mind is on getting ready for the overweight second-rate pitching in an Arkansas softball league, X-Pac could be one of the best wrestlers pound for pound in the world if he just gave a damn. JEFF "FRO" WAHLMAN: As with Worst Babyface, another traditional Hogan award. However "Big Lazy", Brian "The ICON of suckage" Knobbs, and Lex Luger win here. ROB "R2K" EVANS: Worst Worker - "Big Lazy" Kevin Nash. |
