Still Not Tony
>WWE Greed – No no, they didn’t bring back the final WCW PPV. What they did do was gouge every wrestling fan for every possible penny they had.>MJF in the Hurt Syndicate – A completely idiotic storyline in which MJF tried to get into the Hurt Syndicate and after weeks finally did…only for him to get kicked out and it never spoken of again.>John Cena Heel Turn & Retirement Tour – We pondered splitting this into the heel turn and Rock’s disappearance or maybe the fact that the guy who preached to never give up quit with a big smile on his face in his final match, but eh, we’re gonna just lump it all together into one big stinky candidate.>CM Punk Goes to Saudi Arabia – Apparently going from “go suck a blood money covered d**k in Saudi Arabia” to “why yes, I love this great country” is easier done than said when you’re getting fat paychecks.>Charlotte vs. Tiffany Stratton – You know what’s better than a shoot feud? Well, just about anything as this whole mess would clearly demonstrate.>Travis Scott – Note to future celebs wanting to get involved in WWE: legit walloping Cody Rhodes in the face isn’t a great idea.>Mike Santana and the TNA Title – I mean, we love Frankie Kazarian as much as the next guy, but really? REALLY?>NWA Mint Julep Match – Somehow, NWA made “Damien Sandow vs. Bram on a carnival ride & a pirate ship” completely uneventful.>Death Riders – Much like the Energizer Bunny, it just kept going and going and…what’s that? It’s still going?>Minoru Suzuki vs. Butterbean – If Uncle Dave calls it the worst match HE has ever seen, kinda inevitable that it’s a nominee, right?>(Quick note – we disqualified Raja Jackson attempting to kill someone from voting, because we want this to be FUN, not CRIMINAL.)

Lol John Cena's Retirement Tour is already winning by a lot.
>>19695909That makes sense, it was the worst storyline this year. No contest.
E GODSWE MUST JUICE THIS POLL AND MAKE SURE GOD CENA DOESN'T WIN ITVOTE FOR DEATH RIDERS
>>19695905>WWE hasn't won for four years
>>19696452Well, they're clearly going to win this year, because I don't know what else was a bigger disappointment then the Cena retirement tour.
>WWE GreedThis is not Wrestlecrap. Corpslop sure, but Wrestlecrap. If Raja Jackson isn't allowed, this shouldn't be here either.Voted for Travis Scott because it's the closest thing to a LOLTNA moment. Suzuki vs Butterbean is a close second but it's something you've should've seen coming from a mile away.
>>19695884That site still exists? From the screenshot seems they're still stuck in early-mid 2000s web design as well. Kek
>>19696441Nah, bro. I'm Fed 'til I'm dead, but that was such a wet fart of a retirement run for BMJ it absolutely deserves to win.
>>19695884I told you guys it's gonna be Cena retirement in front. Voted for greed though
