Booking decision that riled you the most

[Doctor_What]

The nWo attack the Rock in an ambulance and Hogan rams the ambulance with a truck completley destroying it- with The Rock inside it. 2 weeks later The Rock is fine other than injured ribs! And at Mania all is forgiven and its never mentioned again.


Vince Mcmahons death

Hornswoggle Vince's son

That Hade Vansen character (I think thats his name) 1 promo then he's fired

Maven beats Taker for Hardcore title

Undertaker wins Hardcore title- Big step down from main event then he does nothing with the belt anyway

Kane as Hardcore champion- Similar to taker he does nothing with the belt

Lashley wins ECW title then is drafted to Raw and stripped of it

Undertaker is stripped of WHC- This to me was a screwjob Taker was promised the 1st long title run of his career then Vionce changes his mind as decides Edge is a better champion than chaser

Yokozuna's 1 minute title reign

Fabulous Moolah wins Womens title again in her 70's (or was it 80's?)

Edge/Lita

Johnny Nitro ECW champion- Far too soon

Any 24hr title reigns no matter which title

Albert as IC champion- wtf?

Kane's ECW title reign- Totally deserved but totally messed up

Kane unmasked

Rey Mysterio unmasked in WCW

The rehiring and refiring of varios superstars who did **** all the 1st time they were in wwe

Linda Mcmahon's heel turn- The point of that was?

I guess im gonna go with the entrie invasion as a whole. What. the. fuck. That should have been the biggest thing in wrestling history but it was so poorly put together and had endless problems. They should have waited and developed WCW as an alternative brand with a new tv show on a different day and then once they brought in more wcw guys they should have done the invasion angle. To this day the missed potential just boggles my mind.

I also have to say somethign about Starrcade 1997, one of the most notorious booking disasters of all time. Bret Hart did NOT have to be involved whatsoever. Sting should have beat Hogan clean in the middle of the ring, the fact that he didn't was stupid and killed the storyline.

This one is not as big a deal but still pissed me off just the same, Rey Mysterios treatment as a world champion. He shouldnt have won in the firts place but still if you put the belt on someone you dont have them constantly get squashed in non-title matches just because they come from wcw....

Speaking of people gettign squashed because they are from wcw, Booker T losing at wrestlemania 19 was a joke. He was so ridiculously over during that period, and that was the time for him to be launched as a main star. He has the talent and the charisma and everything going for him why the fuck wouldnt they want to take advantage of that.

Im gonna go with one i have not seen listed. Its more of a why than that I hated it. The wrestlemania retirement match with Flair and HBK. I understand that Flair is retiring and he wanted to have his last match with Shawn, but a retirement match should be used to help get someone over more. Not just to let 2 friends have a last match. HBK doesn't need to get more over. Much like they are playing up he and taker this year. What would be the point of shawn over taker to end the streak??? He doesn't need put over more. And i'm not saying this to bash Shawn, i like him as a performer , but these kind of matches should be used to get over a talent that needs that one push to get them to superstar level.

1. Jeff Hardy's WWE Championship reign
Ok ok ok, yes i'm a Hardy fan but still, his reign was horribly booked. If they didnt plan on him holding the title for long they should have just held off until later this year so he could have a decent reign as champ. At least have him on the damn show with the title, have him defending it. It really pissed me off to see him finally win and then not see him the entire time he held the title and then see him lose it so quickly.

2. JBL Winning IC 2009
What..... The..... Fuck.....!?!?! Bad, just bad. I couldnt believe they dropped the title again! and to who? JBL? Come on, Punk had a decent chance at building the title up more. In fact, the way the IC title has been booked for over a year is something that has pissed me off alot.

3. Kane
Alot of people have already gone into this but this guy had/has the talent to be huge, i have always said and still do that he could have been near the Undertaker's level if booked right from the beginning but no, give him a 24hr reign as champ and then have him job for the next 10yrs. He's great, he should be champ again, even if he doesnt mind jobbing to youngins, give him the title one more time and for longer than a month, FUCK!

Vince and Shane v.s Shawn Michaels and 'God'.

I remember watching that match feeling very awkward and thinking... oh dear god, Vince has officially lost his mind. The match was just a shit version of the match Vince and Shawn had at WrestleMania. But when you see the spotlight that was persumatly suppose to be 'god' coming down the rampway and Vince's look of disbelieve, I was seriously tempted to skip watching cause I knew that it would just be so lame.

Vince becoming ECW Champion.

Before this match, the ECW title looked like it could be worth something in the WWE... however once Vince won the belt at Backlash, all creditibilty vanished. Joey Styles' voice when he had to announce that Vince had won the ECW title said it all. He knew that the title now was a shadow of what it used to mean.

 

[TimAH]

the first 2 that came to mind were Kanes title reign and the higher power fiasco. The next is the Chris Jericho unified title reign. His run after unifying made him look incredibly weak. It was as if he had no business beating anyone, let alone being the undisputed champ.

 

[HHHDiedForOurSins]

Goldberg not winning the title in the elimination chamber match at Summerslam 2003 really pissed me off.

I've always been a huge Goldberg mark, so maybe I'm biased, but he should have won the title that night, the crowd was going nuts for him, probably the first time the WWE fans had really accepted him, plus people were sick of HHH holding the belt by this point.

After he eliminated everyone else, he should have Speared and Jackhammered HHH just like the rest of them, HHH was injured at the time, so that could have been his storyline reason for losing if he simply didn't want to job to Goldberg in such a quick fashion.

WWE's reason for this was to save HHH-Goldberg and the title change for the next PPV, but by then it was too late, Goldberg's momentum was over and it seemed like such an anti-climax, but if he won at Summerslam, Goldberg's WWE run would have turned out much better IMO.

1 - Edge's inclution in the RAW Elimination Chamber Match at NWO09. That made NO sense what so ever. With him doing that, it means that ANY wrestler could simply knock out any other wrestler at any match and take his place. You can clearly hear, that even the announcers think it's dumb as hell, when the match starts. Never has WWE baffled me more!

2 - The Invasion Angle 2001, ANYONE could've booked that better. What was supposed to be the greatest feud ever, turned into a joke.

3 - The recent promotion for WM25. The way they've promoted their top matches (except Orton/HHK!), is a complete joke, with Undi'/HBK taking the biggest honour and Cena/Edge/Show as a close second.
This will most likely be the lamest WM in newer times, storyline wise, not forgetting the Booker T/Edge shampoo angle from some years ago.

4 - The Montreal screwjob. Not a normal booking decision, as only few was in on it, but it WAS done by Vince. To this day, I simply can't belive that he was THAT paranoid about Bret showing up on Nitro the next day and would hurt a man, who'd made him so much money, to that extent. That was pure evil and not in a "cool" way.

5 - WWE's/Vinces' missuse of Goldberg. He looked more like a dork, then the unstopable force we all knew, when he worked for the McMahons. He could've been so much better and done so much more!

6 - Why Mark Henry is still on TV

 

[shafe_41]

Well since I was 9 at the time and knowing what I know about the business now, I would say the part that enfuriates the 9 yr. old fan still inside me is when they decided to turn Tatanka heel and have him "sell out" to the Million Dollar Man when they made us believe it was Lex Luger. Since my first event was when Hogan wasn't with the company, I had to choose somebody to side with right? My first WWE t-shirt I ever bought was a Tatanka shirt. Then they turned him heel at SS94. That was career suicide right there. I was the world's biggest Tatanka fan and they just crapped all over my hopes and dreams when they did that. And where did Tatanka go after that? Pretty much right back to begging for change outside the reservation. FACE!!!

 

[Doctor_What]

Lawrence Taylor v Bam Bam Bigelow as the main event at Wrestlemania. Why? Why were a mid carder and a footballer headlining Wrestlemania? On the same card we had Shawn Michaels v Diesel for the wwe title and although Diesel retained surely that should have been main event?
