Dolph Ziggler and it's not close.

Joey Ryan. I hope he gets penis cancer and is forced to retire. Ziggler's a close second, even though he somehow didn't make the poll.

Ziggler is the real worst wrestler of the decade, but people forget about him because they're so angry at how small Marko Stunt is (which he can't help) that they forget things. I'll vote for Khali of the options on the poll but Ziggler is a write in vote from me too.

Anyone who needs to get over by supposedly throwing someone with their penis is obviously compensating for their lack of talent in other areas.
I think it's pretty obvious who I'm voting for based on that.
And this Ziggler hate is surprising. I remember 2013 when everyone was ecstatic he beat Del Rio for the WHC. Are we really going to say Joey Ryan or Cameron ever contributed something of that worth in this decade?

Great Khali can barely move. At least others have had serviceable matches.

Man...talk about a contingent of turds.
I can't really give it to Cameron as the girl wasn't around long enough to really have a cup of coffee and Jaxon Ryker hasn't really done much of anything, plus I see people on that list far worse than he is.
Marko Stunt is lousy but he hasn't been around long enough to really do something to make me look at him and say that he's the worst of the worst.
Lana is lousy but, thankfully, we didn't really see very many matches involving her. I think she's a top contender in any year to be worst wrestler but of the decade? Eh, not enough there for me.
PCO is essentially something of a freak show who somehow became and is currently ROH World Champion despite being half crippled, 50+ years of age and having his entire schtick be him being something of a freak. Not good at all, but I've still seen worse.
Mr. Anderson during the prime of his career, tne early 2010s, came off like a poor man's version of Stone Cold Steve Austin. Loaded with charisma and personality but just never really clicked despite multiple, and forgettable World Championship runs in TNA.
Ryback is basically a meathead who felt that him being a guy with a lot of muscle meant he should be a top tier guy. He believe this despite being careless in the ring at times, not wanting to do the extra work associated with being a top tier guy, being known to treat fans like crap at autograph sessions and just generally thought he was FAR, FAR better than he actually was.
I think Joey Ryan is a legit contender. Ryan is basically the sleaziest guy running around and his entire schtick revolves around the penis and doing all manner of stupid stuff with it. Think of an X-Rated Santino Marella but without any charm or likeability.
For me, it comes down to either the Great Khali or Jinder Mahal. Khali was.....there's just no saving grace to this guy. He was a physical freak of nature who couldn't wrestle, plain and simple. He could barely move in the ring, his offense consisted of maybe a clothesline, a few chops here and there and a chokeslam finisher.
In the end though, I think I have to go with Jinder Mahal. He got himself into killer shape but was average, on his very best day, inside the ring, he had the charisma of an expired bottle of mustard, his promos were beyond lousy and the man ran around as WWE Champion for more than half a year. If he'd had a run that lasted 3 or 4 weeks, it MIGHT'VE been forgivable but WWE kept the title on him for half a year in the hopes of using him to sell out two shows they were going to run in India later in the year. Even his own countrymen didn't give crap as the ticket sales for one show were so lousy that it was cancelled.

He's not at all in my opinion. He's ostentatious and annoying. At least Ziggler or anyone else isn't trying to make professional wrestling look like a farce to get publicity. Even Khali tried, as bad as he was.

I'll take a dick flip over the same old boring shit from Ziggler any day of the week.

Ehh, different strokes I guess. I don't hate Ziggler, but I'll admit he's stale. Just not enough for me to despise him like a lot of people here do as he obviously has talent.

On what planet is Jinder Mahal the worst wrestler of the DECADE?!
Look, we all know he is not great or anything, but the issue was not that he is shit, the issue is that he is generic and he was booked terribly (I still hold firm that if he won the US title instead of the WWE title it would have been one of the best championship reigns).
Hell, he may be one of the better wrestlers on this list, in terms of in-ring talent. I'm unsure where I'm going but Cameron is likely atop my list, as I have not seen PCO wrestle, Lana is a manager, and Jaxson Ryker had 10 NXT matches (I didn't watch his NXT matches so his time as Gunner in TNA I cannot speak on).
Great Khali was not good, but his size made beating him impressive and his last time he mattered was 2008 or so. He spent this past decade either being the Punjabi Playboy, being newcomer Jinder Mahals bodyguard, then being a Jobber.

I'm not sure why PCO is on the list to be honest. But that might be because I'm a mark for Jacques Rougeau and anyone associated with him by proxy.

Folks out here really voting Jinder as the worst of the decade because he was an average wrestler.

I voted for him because he was in a position he never should have been in for about 5.5 months to long.

How do you figure? Seth and Kofi had worse numbers.
Out of everyone on this list, Cameron's the only one who was a legitimate embarrassment. She'll be best remembered for trying to pin somebody who was laying on their stomach. Nobody gave a shit about her and she was terrible in pretty much every aspect of wrestling.
The rest on this list all have at least something going for them. Whether it's Lana's mic ability, Marko Stunt's charisma, Ryback's complete averageness, or Khali's size, fans cared about these people for at least a little while. Shit, Khali went from being world champion to one of the weirdest, funniest characters around at that time. Sure he sucked in the ring, but he was still entertaining. Cameron offered and accomplished nothing, thus she's the worst.
