Overdone Pushes That Annoyed You

Gonna go with Daniel Bryan, too. By the time the Royal Rumble came along, it was inevitable. They HAD to awkwardly change things up and put him in the main event at WrestleMania. It's the way they handled things to get to that point that was the problem.

Bryan's a great mid/upper midcard guy. It was pretty clear they knew he wasn't a guy who belongs on top. So instead of subtly moving him from the title scene into something else (maybe even a Triple H feud not focused so much on the title), they screwed him out of the title again... and again... and again... and again. Thinking after all that they could just... move on without him finally winning it.

People would have accepted him out of the title scene if Bryan had just had one rematch in September and then changed his focus. Instead they spent 6 months building up a story they didn't plan on finishing and the crowd wasn't gonna have it. It was just terribly planned out. You had a WrestleMania "feel good" moment but in the end they forced themselves into a situation of having a guy being pushed as "the man" who didn't belong there.

Benoit is another one. Though that one was planned from the start and then went horribly afterward.
