Lamest moves by the WWE?

I will just name a few

1. Changing its name from WWF to WWE (I know they had no choice)

2. Making JBL WWE champion

3. Rushing the Invasion story-line (at least it seemed rushed)

4. Going to TNN/Spike TV

5. Making Disel aka Kevin Nash the WWE(F) champion for a year

Giving HHH the title every 6 months then losing it at wrestlemania

Giving CEna the WWE title

Not letting Shelton win the money in the bank match

Not letting Shelton win the money in the bank match

Kotenks

As far as that goes, I think it was good he did not win that match. Look what happened to Orton when they tried to push him too fast. I do not want to see Shelton get pushed too fast, Orton is still having trouble trying to get over with the fans, because of being pushed too fast.

Do not worry, Shelton time will come, just give it some time.

Alright, also the booker T/Kurt wife rape storyline.

I hope when RVD comes back full he is put into a ladder match

I will just name a few

1. Changing its name from WWF to WWE (I know they had no choice)

Link256

That was still a lame move because a wildlife organization somehow won a court case proving that their use of the initials WWF is more well known than the wrestling one. How do you lose a court case like that when pop culture has known about the WWF forever and no had even known the the World Wildlife Fund until this court case.

3. Rushing the Invasion story-line (at least it seemed rushed)Link256

For me:

1. Buying WCW: Sounded good in theory, but buying up your competition has really hurt the WWE in more ways than you can imagine. WWE needs competition. Bottom line
2. The Invasion: Yeah, it sucked, big time.
3. Kevin Nash= Year long WWE Champ?: Nearly drove the company into Bankruptcy
4. Mabel= King of the Ring?: Discredited the entire tournament
5. Stephanie McMahon= the owner of ECW?: Give me an f'n break
6. WWF to WWE: The company lost its legitimacy going from Federation to Entertainment. Thanks alot World Wildlife Fund :roll:
7. Moving to TNN: They killed ECW!
8. JBL= WWE Champ for nearly a year?: The APA guy... WWE Champ... What the hell were they thinking?
9. McMahonomania runs wild in 2003: They nearly ruined wrestling for me, as I could not watch a show without seeing one member of the McMahon family
10. Rob Van Dam's still the "Greatest Athlete to never be World Champ?": So, the APA guy can hold the title, but RVD isn't good enough. RVD can be huge, if used properly, ask Paul Heyman. Make the right choice, put the title on him and make me come up with something new for #10.

1. The 1997 Screw Job
2. JBL Champion for a year
3. HHH as Champion PERIOD
4. Orton is rushed
5. Matt Hardy is fired

The Necrophilia stroy line takes the cake.Biggestgeekever

I'm either alone on this or people have completely shuned it from their memory (I've tried the former).

Others:

• WWF to WWE
• Lita/Matt/Edge angle
• Cena's crappy music video played every week
• Allowing HHH to control everyone
• Sharmell/Booker/Angle feud

So much more but those are what springs to mind.

It doesn't break into my top ten because it was short term, it only lasted a month and was swept under the rug. My top ten mostly have long term implications. Don't get me wrong, that was one long, uncomfortable, and awful month.

Well, nothing can beat that Stupid, lame and awful 2001 Invasion story-line IMHO. I mean, that thing lasted for over 5 months and (more if you inlude when Vince bought WCW, which I do). That was the worse 8 months or so of wrestling in my life (as fas the WWE/WWF goes, other than a few good things hear and there).

not in order

Cena retaining the title

Cenas video playing all the time

HHH having the title all the time

Simon Dean

JBL having the title for a year

Orton beating Benoit for the title( i think Benoit had the title for too long but ortons not in his league)

Diva Search

Kurt Angle/Booker T Sharmell feud

I think the worst long term storyline was the NWO one (which ironicly, happened almost exactly after the Ivansion storyline). They should ahve at least brought in more NWO character then just Nash, Hall, and Hogan. The thing that happened with Hogan smashes a 18-wheeler into the abulance that the rock was in was horrible. Not to mention that it ultimetly led to Austins departure.

Not in order either-----

Cena keeps retaining title

RVD never getting a World Title

JBL as champ for so long

NWO storyline

Triple H keeps winnin the World Title and each year goes in Wrestlemania as the World Champion

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? He has fans? Oh I know you made a funny. LOL!:lol:

My list
2)Moving smackdown to friday5= worst move ever
12) Letting eric bischoof have a big part in the company...yet Paul Heyman get's kicked off of the creative team a few times. Paul heyman who created the original idea for the era that let WWF beat WCW ( attitude). SwimPUNK

Just to clarify a few points. WWE has no say in the Friday Night move. That is all UPN. Believe me, even WWE ain't stupid enough to think thats a good move.

Eric Bischoff is purely an on-air talent. He has no say in the Creative process, whatsoever. He's not even a "Consultant" like Heyman. Bischoff is only an on-air figurehead, and there to be made to look like a fool whenever Vince sees fit.

I think another terrible one was when they decided to kill the Hardcore title. Those where some of the best, lamest, and funniest matches ever.Biggestgeekever

1. The Diva Search
2. John Cena WWE Champion
3. the storylines lately
4. giving the title to HHH to much
5. John Cena's WWE title and US Championship belts
6. WWE spliting up tag teams....( the WWE needs tag teams)
7. Teddy Long GM
8. now more great groups ex like the nWo , DX , Ministry of Darkness.

well thats all I can think of at this moment.

It's not about UPN forcing the move because SM is bad. It's more of UPN trying to appeal to more people and trying to drop SM to do it (like TNT and Nitro). Either SM loses it's audience and UPN can cancel it because of that or it increases UPN's ratings on Friday and then UPN can say how this was a planned move to gain an audience in one of their worst nights. It's win/win only for UPN.

Thanks Swimpunk, I knew they were redoing the network (again!) to get away from the urban audience, but I forgot the direction they were going.

Does anyone remember that guy who said he will destroy every sinner there is?? That was so stupid! I think he is called Mordecai or something

I actually like Teddy Long cause Stephany kept makin big matches into short and s***y mix ups like Kurt vs Brock in a normal match it lasted barely a minute and Kurt was OK at general manager

He needs to stay there IMHO, Mordecai gimmick was horrible. If he does come back to the WWE, he needs a different gimmick.

In a similar fashion to Matt Morgans return. Dyed hair with a new look and with an utterly ridiculouus gimmick. Great combo! :D

Triple H having the title too many times
JBL having the title for nearly a year
MNM as the tag champions
Simon Dean-need I say more about him

:lol: Nice.

my final one is making Smackdown the B show and the brand splitKotenks

IMHO, SmackDown has always been the after thought, even before the brand split. I think the Brand split original, was a way to make SmackDown unique and make different than Raw (rather feeling like an after thought). Raw has always been the #1 WWE/E show, sense 1993 and it should stay the flagship show. Either that, or they should be equal, but Raw should always stay as the Flagship show IMHO.
