The most annoying actor or actress award is saved for the man or woman who was more annoying than anyone else in the entire company. It's quite the honor. After all, there are a lot of lousy acts in wrestling, but only one can be the worst of the worst. Their mere appearance makes you want to throw your remote control, drown your TV in a lake or just quit watching the sport forever! And the nominees are: Stephanie McMahon for her portrayal of Stephanie McMahon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfjx0-FRon8 Okay Stephanie, we get it. You're going to run the company some day. But that doesn't mean she should talk down to all of the talent on the roster. That doesn't really do anybody any good, except for her. Randy Orton is half the man that he was before the two crossed paths, and she also had time this past year to belittle the Divas division on multiple occasions. It's definitely not best for business, and it's really quite annoying. Ariane Andrew for her portrayal of Cameron http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1zImmFdVeU Cameron is usually only relied on to say one single word, but she can't even say that very convincingly. If she doesn't learn how to wrestle or cut a promo, WWE may be saying "bye" to her before too long. Michael Mizanin for his portrayal of The Miz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPa_enpMOU8 At 33 years old, Miz has never progressed as a character. He's still the same obnoxious, in love with himself, overbearing guy he always has. Even now that he's a babyface, he still seems to be heeling it up. After working his way up to WrestleMania main-event status, he been reduced to a guy that whines about his push on TV. Anthony Carelli for his portrayal of Santino http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OINIUSa9UZ8 Shut up Santino! Unlike Antonio Cesaro and Alexander Rusev you're not from Europe. You're from Canada. You don't have an accent. Your jokes were played out five years ago and the Cobra thing was never funny in the first place. That is all. And the winner is...
The Miz
Wow, it seems like a lifetime ago when The Miz didn't want to make you run yourself over with a car. At one point, fans rallied behind him to bring him to the top. But once he got there, they started abandoning him in droves. Miz has no one to blame but himself, as he hasn't done a lot to earn any good will from the fans. He's absolutely stagnated as a character, and while his mannerisms were once endearing, they've now become obnoxious. He's like the guy you work with who thinks he's funnier than he actually is, but mainly relies on stealing old movie quotes for his jokes. Miz also appears to have a smug look permanently tattooed on his face and yet can't figure out why fans don't like him. Perhaps there is hope. Maybe he could give up the wrestling business, become a monk for a few years, travel off far into the woods and try to gain some sense of self-awareness. We can only hope. Otherwise, we're probably going to watch Miz struggle to reconnect with the crowd for some time to come
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
