The WWE Failures Thread
 

It's been ten years since WWE launched one of their biggest failures of all time, The XFL. (http://www.fanhouse.com/2011/01/28/x...es-of-the-xfl/ ).

In honor of this occasion, let's talk about WWE's failures, whether they be storylines, dropped balls, the XFL or the WBF.

Pretty ironic that I couldn't find an XFL-specific video of the theme, because the Brawl for All was a pretty big failure, too.

Mr. McMahon's "death" and shortly thereafter, the Benoit tribute show.

Talk about a night on the town. Look at that striation!

That was WCW. :roll:

LOOK AT THOSE SWEET FEET!!!

SOMEBODY CALL MY MOMMA!!!

The ECWCW invasion was the 1st thing to come to mind.

katie vick angle

Tin is a retard. Not even a functional retard. Just a retard. He probably drools on the keys he wants to press. Or bangs them with his helmet. Either way.

hijo de su pinche madre! btw. you look like a cancer patient.

Mark Henry's 17th push.

It's a shame, because all his pushes before that were great, but I feel the WWE really dropped the ball here.

Edge v Kane angle.

I say WWF vs. WCW was their biggest failure. That could have been legendary and lasted for a while. But instead, it lasted for like 4 months.

PG Era itself is a failure

December To Dismember.

WWF New York.

Kronik.

Techno Team 2000!!!!

Pretty much any and all storylines involving Hornswoggle

Emulating The Rock's box office success with straight to DVD films.

Sadly I admit to have watched the entire XFL season including the bowl game.

Also bought the trading cards that stemmed from it.

*hangs head in shame*

It just didnt live up to the pre-season hype for it

Was supposed to be a little less strict on the rules but became NFL V2.0

Warrior's 1996 return, squashing HHH at Wrestlemania.

the last few years of the tag team scene.

In my opinion, giving up on Mohammed Hassan and never bringing him back, he would be GOLD!

Wrestlemania 11 is another WWE Fail in my opinion.

Holy shit is that Shawn Stasiak? He looks fucking huge there!

Yes it is, AKA Meat, managed by PMS (Pretty Mean Sisters)

Goldberg's run in the WWE

The InVasion angle (I seriously had the biggest mark out rush the night that Heyman and his ECW crew arrived on RAW that I've maybe ever had watching wrestling... and then Stephanie McMahon came out as the leader of ECW, and I knew this was going to become all about the McMahons)

Chris Jericho's Undisputed Champion storyline leading up to WrestleMania X-8

The return of ECW

The Cruiserweight Division

They really dropped the ball on GTV.

With all due respect, Luger was fairly over and screwed himself over. I'd wouldn't WWE failed on him more so than Luger failed on himself.

Taz singing along with Ernest "The Cat" Miller's theme is the best thing in this thread.

Did Test ever get revenge for Stephanie turning on him? All I can remember is one minutes they're about to get married and HHH comes out with his vid and the next thing is the McMahon-Helmsley Era has started, and Test is tagging with Albert and has Trish as there manager.
