Worst angle from the Attitude Era?

[Moon Bird]

I was thinking about this in the shower earlier (yes, I don't know why either...) and my two least favorite angels from the Attitude Era both involved the Big Boss Man.

The first was between Boss Man and Al Snow where Boss Man murdered Snows dog and fed it to him. (I'm working off vague memories from 20 years ago so I hope I got that right)

The second was between Boss Man and The Big Show where Shows dad died and then Boss Man made his mom reveal that it wasn't really his dad, and then Boss Man dragged the coffin away with Show holding onto it (?)

It sounds so ridiculous that MAYBE I am mis-remembering, sadly I don't think that's the case...

Chist the Attitude Era had some bad moments...

anyway what's your worst angle/storyline from the Attitude Era?

(In the spirit of full disclosure, I was a WCW kid, and only watched Raw when I stayed over at a friends house so there are probably way worse ones that I never actually got to see...)

Every miscarriage and abortion angle that was thought up by that supposed genius Ed Ferrara.

Yeah I didn't like the Boss Man/Show feud at all or Boss Man/Snow lol I'd say the obvious worst shit to me tho was Mae Young giving birth to a hand and the KOTR match between Patterson and Brisco in evening gowns. Both after Russo FWIW

Can I say the entirety of the Attitude Era was the worst angle?

Looking back, there was so much BS. it was fun being 17 during the Attitude era but looking at it now. it was mostly terrible matches and maybe a really good one. Atleast they had a strong uppercard with guys who could put on good matches but most of the shows were straight up garbage

blackface DX comes to mind immediately

 

[Hoss]

I'll rewatch it all again in a heartbeat

Do you know the story of how the Patterson/Brisco match came about?

The creative team wanted Lita/Trish in a Bra and Panties match, but Vince wanted something for Pat/Brisco. So Michael Hayes goes, "Okay, so do you want Lita & Trish in a Bra and Panties match? Or do you want Brisco & Patterson in a hardcore match?" Vince then screams, "You're right!!!" Which everyone knew meant Vince was gonna do something crazy...

"It's gonna be Brisco and Patterson in an Evening Gown Hardcore Match!"

 

[Hoss]

A stroke of genius.

 

[Samoa Looch]

A stroke alright

Very nearly chose “I choppy-choppy your pee-pee” but I actually think Hawk threatening suicide is the worst thing ever written in the WWF up until that point. Brawl For All might be the worst THING in WWF/E ever but it's not really an "angle."

Here's the clip of the match:


I cannot believe that match actually happened lol
