SLAM! Wrestling
For the second year in a row, Hollywood Hogan was chosen as the worst combatant shoulder to shoulder with other such notable fan disappointments as the wacked-out Goldust, the lethargic Sultan, the aging Roddy Piper and the monarch of a motormouth: Jerry Lawler. Let the drum roll begin! As SLAM! Wrestling presents the best and worst of 1997 as selected by the REAL icons of pro-wrestling: you the devoted fans.
SLAM! appreciates you taking the time to vote. As a professional courtesy, the results of the poll have been sent along to the federations.
