Going in chronological order:
-Dawn Marie vs Torrie Wilson: the match and the entire feud made me want to gouge my eyes out
-Scott Steiner vs Triple H: the Plan 9 from Outer Space of wrestling; my friends and I were rolling on the floor laughing at how awful it was
-Nathan Jones' WWE debut: poor fella was doomed from the start. Ah, well.
-RVD, Kane, Lance Storm, etc. being left out of Wrestlemania: actually, that's understandable. I mean, you don't want to take time away from the Miller Lite Catfight Girls segment, right?
-Evolution: I feel really sorry for Ric Flair.
-Goldust's Tourette thing. Tasteless and unfunny, simple as that.
-Triple H vs Booker T: good match, but the ending was pure, unadulterated BULLSHIT. HHH pinned Booker after taking a goddamned nap for half an hour. This pretty much sealed the coffin for ayone on Raw not whose name doesn't end in H or Berg. I haven't watched a full episode of Raw ever since, in fact.
-Mr. America vs Rowdy Roddy Piper: I'll admit I marked out huge when Piper ran in at Wrestlemania, and I was excited to see the Piper's Pit come back, but at the end of the day it was a piss-poor match between two guys who are way past their prime. Kind of depressing, really, especially since this was what really killed off Sean O'Haire's career.
-Nash vs Triple H: see a recurring theme here? Not even the return of Mick Foley could save that pile of crap.
-Test vs Steiner and La Resistance vs The Dudleyz. Two feuds that nobody cared about, but went on for the entire summer. Ugh.
-Vince vs Stephanie. The acting in this feud made Dawn/Torrie look like Citizen Kane, and the match made my eyes bleed.
-Eddie hosing down the Big Show with crap. Lovely.
-Triple H not even showing up on Raw for almost an entire month during the Kane vs Goldberg feud, then winning the World Title right back. FUCK YOU!
There were a ton of really good things about 2003, too, in case you think I'm being overly negative. But this isn't the thread for the good stuff, so I won't go into them.
