Aces and Eights. They were Retribution until Bully Ray got involved
I was legit gonna say this and the Claire Lynch angle from TNA. Those were the main angles when it was on TV here and good lord it was bad. No wonder it didn't last and got taken off.

Aces and Eights ended up pretty lit though and they were far more competent than Retribution even before the Bully Ray reveal.

Wasn't Sons of Anarchy like the hottest thing on TV at the time?

The worst storyline was ending Billy and Chuck's team.

Anything with Russo in 2000 WCW.

The whole Ziggler/Summer Ray and Lana/Rusev love angle the other year. What a fucking waste of some fantastic talent that was.

Any Smackdown Paul Heyman era main event storylines.

First he’s a chicken and leaves Raw because if HHH despite squashing every hero the past summer.

Paul Heyman betrays Brock, the guy who beat all the attitude era guys, for the Big Show... who was essentially midcard for past 3 years.

Making Brock the main babyface despite squashing every fan favorite and being greener than grass leading to people walking out during his match at Wrestlemania, and having to turn him heel afterward.

One of my least faves was Edge marrying Vickie. Mainly cos it went for soooo long, and when we thought it ended, it started up again.

Nexus. I hated them, and even though it lasted less than a year, it felt like 10 years. I was sick of them being on Raw every single week and taking over, so much so, that watching Smackdown was a relief cos they weren't on it :lol

People actually think Nexus should've went over at Summerslam.....because guys like Tarver, Otunga skip sheffield and the prime time player guy should beat a team that had like 50 world title reigns between them.

Rey Mysterio feuding with Orton and using Eddies death to generate heat. As effective as it was it was stomach churning and done in poor taste.
