Apologizes if this has been done before. But the second half of the year is well underway, so I wonder what everyone thinks have been the top 5 stories of the year. They can be good or bad, but anything that made headlines in the WWE. So in no particular order:
Eddie Guerrero Winning The WWE Title
This guy wasn't even in the WWE two years ago, and like Stone Cold, the problems he had, was thought to never be back in the WWE. But he was welcomed back, worked his way back up, given a new gimmick, gets over with the fans, and wins the WWE title from Brock Lesnar this past February.
Sudden Departure of Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar entered the WWF in 2002, and was pushed to the moon. He beat all the top guys at the time, Angle, Rock, Undertaker, Hogan, and has been a multiple time champion. Then in two years, he decides he's done all he can do and quits suddenly to join the NFL. All the talk going into WM was that Goldberg was leaving, then all of a sudden Brock announces he's leaving. The crowd at MSG realized this and gave him a nice little goodbye chant.
The Emergence of Eugene
Alot of people cricized the WWE for creating a mentally challenged wrestler. But as the weeks wore on, he became more and more entertaining. Thus he has won over a huge fanbase. Eugene is even staring to become more of a force to reckon with as he has challenged and even beaten some WWE stars.
WrestleMania XX
It lived up to all the hype it was given. It had it's high spots with a new World's Champion being crowned in Chris Benoit. Eddie Guerrero retaining his title over Kurt Angle. John Cena becoming the new US Champion. And Trish Stratus with an unexpected heel turn. WM did have its lows such as the Brock Lesnar/Bill Goldberg match, and Ultimo Dragon falling twice on his way to the ring.
JBL's salute in Germany
As a heel, you want to make the fans really hate you. Now JBL crossed the line when he gave a Nazi salute in Germany, which is a federal offense in that country. He lost his job as an analyst on CNBC, but returning to the U.S. in WWE, he was rewarded by winning the WWE Title at the Great American Bash.
Well, here are my top 5 stories of the year. Feel free to add anything I might have missed.
