I voted The Miz vs. Wade Barrett

Horrible feud, horrible matches over the US Championship.

A close second would have gone to Y2J/Fandango

CM Punk ruins everything, including my enjoyment of Ryback.

Punk/Ryback they just don't mesh well together at all.

You guys really don't like the miz huh.

Went for Ryback/Punk anyway. The guys just had no chemistry together.

When you can't get a good match from either of the 2 top guy's...it's Ryback that sucks

Ryback/Cena for me, mainly because turning Ryback heel was fucking terrible. Enjoyed this much less than Ryback/Punk, and it was way more high profile than any of Miz's shitty feuds so that's why it's getting the vote over those.

The Miz had a terrible run this year and everything he touched turned to shit. I don't think any feud this year came close to being as non-impactful, boring and forgettable as The Miz vs Fandango.

That feud did nothing at all for either of them and whoever booked it wasn't even trying. Come to think of it, his brief, pointless rivalry with Miz may be the point where Fandango's momentum began to tank. Beating Jericho didn't do much but it at least got him rolling, and while Miz and Barrett wasn't memorable at least they were fighting for a title and stuff (I also enjoyed one or two of their matches personally). Miz/Fandango is irredeemable though.

There's been a lot of bad feuds this year but Rock vs. Cena annoyed me to no end. I hated it.

Lazy buildup and a terrible match at WrestleMania to cap it off.

Guess i'm one of the fortunate ones then who has absolutely no recollection of any of these Miz feuds. Infact the only thing I do remember is when he wore Fandango pants and danced with Rosa on the stage I think it was.

I'm torn between Ryback/Punk because that was truly was the definition of awful and between Fandango/Jericho because the Fandango character has always been doomed to fail, still hasn't impressed me at all and Jericho being wasted at Mania against him was such a letdown. Not to mention the match was pretty shit too.

Think i'll go with Jericho/Fandango.

This is a tough choice because a lot of these feuds were just wretched. Alberto Del Rio and Rob Van Dam brought us the pointless pairing of Van Dam and Ricardo Rodriguez plus it made absolutely no sense to have a triple threat where Christian wins the title shot over Orton and Van Dam, loses to Del Rio, and Rob gets the next shot anyway. Nothing good came from that feud.

Big Show vs. Randy Orton wasn't all that horrible but it leaves a sour taste in my mouth because it comes off the back of them blaming Bryan for the pay-per-view buyrates and going back to pushing larger than life contenders to the belts. Big Show can be compelling to watch and listen to in the build to matches, but when it comes time to wrestle that match, he generally stinks up the joint and from what I've heard, these two had a bad match.

Chris Jericho vs. Fandango was completely pointless, especially since Fandango has gone on to be a jobber. This feud did nothing for the career of either man and honestly, I had pretty much forgotten they feuded until I saw this poll.

John Cena vs. The Rock deserves to be on this list, because the build for the rematch was absolutely terrible, and a lot of that had to do with them being all buddy-buddy and the fact that you could see how it was all going to play out coming months in advance from Rock winning the belt to Cena taking it from him.

Ryback vs. CM Punk was another pointless feud, and a lot of that has to do with the stuff between Heyman and Punk lasting well beyond its welcome and the fact that Ryback should've never been turned heel when he was.

Ryback vs. John Cena was yet another pointless feud. They turned Ryback heel when they shouldn't have and the whole thing felt like a spiteful move on their part, just so they could say that hey they created a fresh contender to the belt, even though he lost. I can't say it was the worst though because I'll be honest, there were some promo gems here and there during this feud.

I don't even remember The Miz and Antonio Cesaro feud, and I barely remember The Miz and Fandango feuding, so I won't comment on either. To me, The Miz versus Wade Barrett was the worst feud. No one cares about Dead Man Down or The Marine 3.
