I would say the biggest mistake was openly trying to make RAW seem like the superior show to SD. Instead of trying to build up both brands, what they did was chase away a decent portion of the SD audience with very little growth on RAW. They lost about 1 million viewers for no good reason.
The Orton thing seems like a stupid move on the surface, but at the same time its too hard to judge right now. I mean they can still salvage it, and they could still do a good number at Mania with him in one of the key spots. Personally, I believe they've doen a ton of damage to him, but I cant call it the biggest blunder of the year because the reall effect wont be felt until next year.
The JBL thing is not even close. Yeah yeah JBL sucks, but he hasn't killed business by any means. His PPVs have done just as well, and some even better than Hunter's. So if JBL as champ is one of the worst moves of the year, than Hunter still main eventing has to be one of them as well.
Another move that seems worse and worse as each week goes by is taking the title off Benoit and before that not making him the true #1 guy on RAW. Ive notied over the past few weeks he's the most over guy on RAW, and I can only imagine how over he would have been if they would've made him #1 from Mania onwards.
