REJECTED

  0  1  1        Sable

CHRIS BIRD: Fabulous Moolah had no business being in a ring. Neither did
Randy Savage come to think of it. And Viscera, we have covered.

EDC: Bulldog, Mideon, and Mae Young have no business being in the ring. I
dont think Mae Young had any offense to speak of, And all Bulldog did was
walk around his matches.

K. CANZANELLA: Big Slow, Big Bossman, and Big Viscera. What do these guys
all have in common? No, not the first word. They all really, really suck.

SCOTT GRIFFITH:  Kevin Nash is the definition of "Anti-Workrate."  
Uggh.... If he worked any more matches that he did, he'd be my #1 choice.  
This field was obviously flooded with viable candidates.

SVEN MASCARENHAS: Remarkable fact: in the persons of Van Hammer and Rick
Steiner, WCW had two wrestlers who were worse than the Fabulous Moolah.
Scary, but true.

DON BECKER: Jake Roberts proved that he is not a better wrestler drunk
than when he's sober.  As happy as I am that Jim Duggan's now cancer-free,
I'd still rather not see him in the ring ever again.  Van Hammer offers
nothing to WCW's product and should've remained wherever he was stuck for
the last six years.

MAX CHITTISTER: Just about all of my Worsts are going to the women this
year. It's not because I'm a woman-hater, it's because the WWF pushed
women who are just that bad.

CAN00K: I mean it, Hogan.  Go away.

PAUL SHOCK:  I consider this award only for nominees who don't try.  Some
guys, like David Flair for example, may suck, but at least they show some
effort.  Duggan has been doing the same thing for years, and so has Hogan.  
Sable thought it was enough for her to "grind" her way through matches, so
she gets the bronze.

BLOB: Hogan again takes the top honor in this category. I would give the
honors to Rodman but I had pity on him since he's not a real wrestler and
gave him #2. And if Total Package could work less than what he does now,
he would.

GEORGE CARTER: The Boss Man wrestled two of the worst matches I have ever
seen in my life (against the Undertaker and Al Snow) and I'm sure his big
payoff match against the Big Show will make my list next year. Debra won
the WOmen's belt for having nice puppies and she never actually WRESTLED,
unlike David Flair (who is 3rd BTW). Debra makes David Flair look like
Shawn Michaels. If they won't fight or wrestle, then DON'T LET THEM
WRESTLE !!!!!

JOHN C.:How many times can I say Kevin Nash is the worst? Here it is one
more time, Kevin Nash is the worst worker in the world.

JON RICHARDSON: Was there a match this year that Kevin Nash didn't phone
in?  I don't think I saw him give an effort once all year.  Rick Steiner
has deteriorated so much that he can no longer wrestle any kind of style
yet he'll still occasioanlly try to do things.  He'll always fail, but
he'll try.  Midion certainly tries every time he goes out there, he's just
a godawful wrestler.

JAN-MORTIZ KAEDING: Nash is horrible.

JAMES GOWDEY: Let's go over the formula for most of Stone Cold Steve
Austin's matches, shall we?  "Punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, kick,
punch, punch, punch, slam head into STEEL, punch, punch, roll into ring,
Thesz press, punch, punch, punch, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp,
gutshot, Stunner, end."  Now THAT'S a worker!

SEAN FLYNN: Another WCW trio takes it.  At least Steiner didn't kill
anyone this year_thank God for small miracles.

B. SZPAKOWICZ: David Flair, Viscera, Hogan. But there's about a dozen
other guys who deserve to "win".

SUGAR RAY: Hogan, Piper, Mideon, they all suck hard. And to think I had to
leave out Viscera, David Flair, Meng, Jerry Flynn, Ric Flair... People,
this sport needs to be cleaned from a LOT of junk!

JEREMY SORIA: Hogan, of course, gets the token first place vote. Jake
Roberts shows us that he really didn't mean to keep his promise to stay on
the wagon in 1996 when he found religion. And here's Sable, who has the
nerve to say she was exploited by the WWF when she didn't mind giving lots
of young adolescents their first wet dreams.

OTTO "HACK-MAN" HEUER: Quit tempting me to vote for both Paul White and
Big Show. :-)

MDB: At least 3H can use his knee for offense.  At least Stvie Rey can do
a decent kick and punch.  Big Giant, you suck!
