Readers and Staff Agree. 2009's Worst Storyline is...

The most amazing thing about this year's World Storyline isn't just that the readers and staff agreed on the winner, but that one of the people involved actually finished in the top three TWICE for both. Give you a hint, he's the Irish guy. Not the old one. Not the young one. It's the miniature one...

" Why? Why? WHY? This was awful on so many levels. Chavo Guerrero isn't the greatest of all time, but he deserves better than this. Thinking back to the days of his ECW Title run and it feels like decades ago. It says a lot when a WWE devotes storylines entirely to getting a little person over when they don't even have any other midgets for him to wrestle! "

" BOOOO! Wow this storyline is still going on? It was cute the first couple times, but after the tuxedo match, bull rope match, boxing match and every other match they were in, I got sick of it quickly. Plus what the hell was up with Chavo's one week face turn that made it seem he enjoyed fighting the little guy. Just ridiculous all around. . "

" The Hornswoggle and Chavo Guerrero feud plays to both of their weaknesses; Hornswoggle should not wrestle but act as comedic relief, and Chavo is a much stronger wrestler who deserves better. " - Sarah Daigen

"You know, it can be said that any TV time for a wrestler is good TV time for a wrestler. Well, I point to this storyline as “Exhibit A” that the previous statement can be wrong. This year, Chavo Guerrero-the man who studied under the great Uncle Eddie-got outsmarted and outwrestled by the once “bastard son” of Vince McMahon. Think about it-Chavo Guerrero couldn’t beat a little person. No, let me rephrase that-Chavo Guerrero-the man who studied under Eddie Guerrero’s lie, cheat, and steal mantra-couldn’t beat a leprechaun. Okay, I know leprechauns are tricky (the great number of horrendous Leprechaun movies have told me so), but to be able to get one up on a man who used to be the ECW champion, and a serious contender for multiple titles on a weekly basis is pretty ridiculous. Think about it-Chavo is less of a wrestler than Hornswaggle. Maybe I’m thinking too hard on this ." - James Bullock

"What a complete waste of talent this is. Chavo is one of the best guys in the ring, and yet, here he is, losing week after week, and participating in backstage skits that make Dane Cook funny, with a midget. Yep, a midget. The only thing worse than this for Chavo, would be if he afraid of someone flexing their pecs. That's happened? Oh."

" Now, I just want to say first and foremost is that I like Hornswoggle. I think he's a funny character, and he always brings a smile to my face. However, I can't say that I'm nothing but objective, and by the lord Christ above, if Hornswoggle and Chavo Guerrero's "rivalry" wasn't the dumbest, most pointless, irritating-through-longevity, annoying angle of this year, then frankly, I don't know what is. Indeed, if I didn't like Hornswoggle as much as I do, I may have shot myself by now. "
