'''Wrestlecrap''' is a [[professional wrestling]] [[website]] created by [[RD Reynolds]] and Merle Vincent (who died in September 2000),<ref>http://www.nuvo.net/archive/oldarts/articlex809.html</ref> serving as a "hall of shame" for some of the worst [[List of professional wrestling slang#G|gimmicks]] and [[List of professional wrestling slang#A|storylines]] in pro wrestling history.


HE ALSO MAKES FAR TOO MANY "GAY" JOKES FOR IT TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN PROOF THAT HE IS A CLOSET QUEER. HEY, RD, THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY BUDDY!!!! HAHAH "HHH IS A HOMO!"" FNAAR FNARRRR!
==History==
Reynolds launched the site in April 2000, quickly developing a following among wrestling fans. Reynolds shut the site down in 2001, claiming the high cost of running the site was responsible. It returned the following year, albeit without the backlog of past inductions.


SERIOUSLY, GET A LIFE.
In August 2005, WrestleCrap introduced a [[podcast]] called WrestleCrap Radio. Typically Reynolds and columnist Blade Braxton discuss their personal lives, make jokes that may or may not relate to current wrestling (or wrestling at all), pretend they are unpopular (claiming to only have 12-13 listeners) and ''rarely'' discuss news items from the wrestling industry. On occasion interviews with guests from within the wrestling industry are broadcast. In 2006, the site added several new writers and features.


BY THE WAY, BLADE IS YOUR KIDS' FATHER!!!!
There is also a book written by the creators of WrestleCrap with an introduction by [[John Tenta]], with the same name (ISBN 1-55022-584-7). Reynolds also co-authored ''The Death of WCW'', with wrestling [[journalist]] [[Bryan Alvarez]]. Most recently, Reynolds co-wrote ''The WrestleCrap Book of Lists'' with Braxton, which was released in late 2007. Currently, both Reynolds and Alvarez are featured columnists for British pro wrestling and MMA magazine [[Fighting Spirit magazine|''Fighting Spirit'']]{{Fact|date=August 2008}}.

The 2001 award was not revealed until 2003 due to WrestleCrap's closing in 2001.

Each year's Gooker award, with the exceptions of 2001 and 2002, was determined by a poll of site visitors. The 2001 and 2002 awards were chosen by Reynolds, since he felt there was no competition those years.
