Whats your Saddest WWE moment?

Rob Van Dam winning the WWE title.

Allow me to explain- Growing up I was a fan of the WWF. Not WCW, not AWA, not WCCW, and not even the sport of professional wrestling. I was a WWF fan. Growing up as a Hulkamaniac I should have followed Hogan to WCW. No, I was too busy following what was going on with the WWF. I didn't have time for Hogan in another company. During the Monday Night Wars I watched very little WCW. I caught ECW when I could, but I didn't make it a point to see it. I've seen more Shotgun Saturday Night than WCW or ECW. I was a WWF fan, and now a WWE fan.

Now let's go forward to Rob Van Dam winning the WWE title from John Cena at One Night Stand. I almost cried. They were still trying to say ECW was its own company. So from a kayfabe standpoint this outsider won the title that I grew up with. The title that Buddy Rogers, Bret Hart, Steve Austin, HBK, Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund, and others won. They all fought for and defended the title that belonged to the company that Jess McMahon laid the foundation for.
Was it John Cena losing a title? Yea, but this was some reject from a bingo hall who couldn't hang in the major leagues winning the WWE/WWF/WWWF/CWC title. I was crushed.

So while all of you were cheering that John Cena lost the WWE title, I was almost in tears that someone from a bingo hall won the WWE title.
