JEREMY MORAN: What does it say about the current of our great sport when
the three people who annoy me most in the sport aren't even competitors,
and two of them (Isaacs and Hyatte) are just Net geeks?

EDC: Bob Ryder must be destroyed...

SVEN MASCARENHAS: Hey Madden, how's your savior of wrestling doing now?
Tony, SHUT UP. And Russo was pissing me off so much in his last few weeks
in the WWF that I was dammed glad to see him go to WCW... until I realized
the folly in letting him run *any* promotion without any checks or
balances.

AARON: Madden and Ryder both have egos the size of their appetites. Buff
refuses to job and is therefore a bitch.

DON BECKER: If I hear Jerry Lawler say "PUPPIES!" one more time, I'm going
to pull an Elvis and shoot my damned TV.  Mark Madden's whole gimmick is
that he's obnoxious, and it works.  I'd say more about Tony Schiavone, but
FANS WE'RE OUT OF TIME!

SHAWN MULLIN: Sable, Nash and Okerlund.  Thinking of those 3 on my TV
screen makes me shudder.  Sable was annoying in the ring, annoying on the
mic, and mostly annoying once she was gone.  There is no one I'd like more
to never see again.  Nash, well I went over my dislike for him earlier.  
Okerlund never has a clue what's going on during his interviews, yet still
consistently adds clueless comments.

MAX CHITTISTER: Two guys whose voices I've never heard and whose faces
I've never seen win my votes for Most Obnoxious. Thank god for
1wrestling.com and Russo's interviews on Wrestlemaniacs.

CAN00K: *click* is the sound of my remote changing the channel whenever
Hogan appears on my television.  Thankfully, we don't have to see Bischoff
anymore, and hopefully Mr. Ryder won't become an on-camera WCW
personality.  Even though we all I expect he'll debut on-camera by licking
whipped cream off of a bound and gagged Asya while Chad Damiani whips him
with golden chains bought by the revenue collected from 1wrestling.com
ads.  Then he'll justify it in his widely read column by telling a story
about how he and Asya are romantically linked in real life, and therefore,
since it wasn't an act, but a real perverse pleasure, he had no problem
with it.  But it was nothing like Mark Henry, oh no no no no no no.

BLOB: Wow..Cole is making fun of Lawler? This is the same guy that called
a DDT a bulldog and the steel steps a steel chair. Unbelieveable! Rick
Steiner's catchphrase was as obnoxious as Konnan's so they got #2 and #3.

GEORGE CARTER:  For one/two hours, Jason Hervey made me want to destroy my
TV. JR is an excellent commentator but when he shills, he shills even more
annoyingly than Schiavone. He is SO obnoxious that I find myself screaming
at him sometimes.

JOHN C.:Bagwell beats out Sable for this one but I must admit that it was
a tough choice. The fact that some people actually like these two people
is what really is obnoxious.

SIXKKS:  This is a good thing right?

JOE GENTILE:  Sable. What an arrogant bitch.  Hey Sable, you didn't have
talent, you had big boobs.  Nicole Bass takes second. Sexual Harassment?
Shhhheaaahhh right!  Meltzer takes third. Hey, it's great this guy has
been able to make a living, but MUST he take his shirt off for photos????

DONALD SEMACK:  If Russo says that he listens to the internet then why
does he keep pissing off everyone on it.

URBAN ZOMBIE: If anyone voted for Al Isaacs here, when Schiavone, Bischoff
and Ryder were within plain view, I will lose what little faith in
humanity I had left.

SEAN FLYNN: All of these piss me off with rampant misogyny and unnecessary
exploitation.  The word "puppies" shrieked over and over is enough to make
me want to torture myself with bamboo shoots or Rick Steiner matches.

KEVIN WONG: You know, I could easily have put down Joel Gertner, Mark
Madden and Chris Hyatte down here, but all things considered, their
"gimmicks" are based on being obnoxious.  I mean, everything about Joel
Gertner is meant to piss people off.  Bischoff, Cole, and "Fat" Tony can
piss you off just by talking, and they're trying to be serious..

JEREMY SORIA: Jarrett, we don't care about you. Okerlund, you're too old
and too square to fit in with WCW. And Rock, do you think you can try to
incorporate your catchphrases without the crowd prompting you for them?

OTTO "HACK-MAN" HEUER:  Most Obnoxious Personality 1. Gene Okerlund
(stealing heat from workers)  2. Konnan (and for making Rey annoying as
well)  3. Bill Alfonso (choke on the damn whistle already)  4. Debra (at
least put a bag over her head)  5. Hulk (no explanation needed)  6.
VinneRu (F-ing up TWO feds)
