MassRafTer posted:There's a couple Puebla openers and a few things from Triplemania but my vote would be for the Aerial Assault from CZW's Once in a Lifetime. Just an absolute hilarious trainwreck of a match with a botched finish. I abstained for voting in the worst categories cuz I couldn’t remember the poo poo I actually hated but now I regret that cuz holy poo poo that match was awful. I did my part and voted for Micro Man and Nick Gage and LA Park though.

I don't know how you guys don't see them deliberately pandering to a country with an super push of an awful wrestler that not only wasn't a draw in the country they were pandering to, but also ratings & ticket poison as one of the worst promotional tactics. All the shittier ones ranked higher anyway.

Pushing Jinder, who is poo poo, and expecting India to fully embrace the product because of it is disgusting but I don't know if it registers with all of the lovely stuff that happened in 2017
