no, how it was handled was the poor part.

Overworking all their talent by still doing too many house shows?

Oh, but of course! We all know it's not the girls. That's the only singular moment that truly stands out since it's been one brainfart after another since.
Personally feel like the entire thing is Wrestlecrap-worthy from the sheer amount of "What the hell are you all doing?" involved here. Some of it makes sense - they had to "rebrand" the division to try to get what non-NXT watchers are left to take it seriously, but with every step along the way...

Cena from a purely sports standpoint was a heel this year. Bad comparison but he was the Rafael Nadal of WWE, when watching a tennis tournament it's very easy to root against the Big 3 and hope a young player makes a name for himself in the Grand Slam by upsetting the ol' unbeatable pro.

But when you're looking at it from that standpoint, Cena's never been in this kind of position before. He's not the company's biggest focus, he's not the guy you expect in the WWEWHC picture 365 days a year, shoot from a pop-culture sense he's filming dirty movies and his name is yelled in like half of the videos on Youtube at this point. This ain't the 2011 John Cena any more.

Poor sting he had potential to be the next big thing but triple big nose buries yet another up and comer:boohoo: Dude is what 50 plus, it was two big names in the industry in a dream match(for some) Having sting wrestle a match in wwe was a win in itself, not about the result as it is meaningless to both mens careers.

Mine is Bryan being eliminated like a jobber from the rumble, a man who was in the main event of WM the year before, Former wwe and whc champ,MITB winner and won clean over :supercena::pity2: Devalues the Rumble and Bryan and the wwe title if a guy who won it gets eliminated like a loser

Can throw the KO thing in there as well.

Daniel Bryan being anywhere near the Rumble match really didn't help Roman.

As far as Sting goes, I think it was just Vince being like WWE>WCW for one last time.


:Mugshot: wanted the last standing soldier of WCW to fall down to one of the WWE's. Wish granted, Vinnie.

When talking to Sting, Vince was prolly being like "Yo, you're gonna lose to my son-in-law or otherwise there's no Hall of Fame for you, pal."

Which is why Vince is probably gonna keep Bryan out of this year's Rumble, as well... Unless he wants another "Royal Rumble Rebellion III: Return of the Rioting" happening.

To be fair, even if they had waited until after the Rumble to bring him back, it wouldn't have mattered. Bryan being anywhere on the show from then to Wrestlemania was gonna cause people to reject Roman Reigns and rebel against his push on account of feeling his spot should belong to Bryan.

Yeah no doubt that was the main factor behind Mr three H's going over but still does not change the fact that the result was irrelevant, If Sting won then some fans might of said it was predictable. Yeah its all about one last Fuck You to WCW. I could care less for the match and the performers in it.

Agreed. The only thing that left a sour taste in my mouth is that Sting shook HHH's hand after HHH used a foreign object to win the match.

Although, the worst of it was when Sting came back for a feud with Rollins and said 'Rollins isn't half the man HHH is!'. I was like lolwut

But yeah, whatever. Moving on.

Speaking of other bad booking decisions... Tyler Breeze wrestling his first match on RAW in a bloody WWE-WHC tourney (after being totally unproven on the main roster, in kayfabe, ofc) and losing to Ambrose.

The dude could've totally defeated Truth or whomever on his first night and then they could've continued the previously started Ziggler feud.
