What things that have happened in wrestling that even years later you're still not quite over it. Here are my two:
HBK throwing the Bulldog out of the ring at the '95 Royal Rumble. I was a huge Bulldog fan and was pissed about how he lost. I mean his music was playing and everything. They really should have just restarted the rumble instead.
The mess that was Starcade '97. Sting is my all time favorite wrestler and it stills makes me mad about not only the match but, the way they booked his run as a joke. I still think to this day had they just did the right thing WCW still would have been around because, that mess is what started WCWs downfall.

Cena beating HBK at Wrestlemania 23.
Lita, my favorite Diva at the time, turning heel. I understand why they did it, but I never looked at her the same way after that.

Goldberg vs Lesnar at Wrestlemania XX. I wasn't such a smark at the time so I thought this would be an awesome match and instead it was one of the worst matches I've ever seen.
I've disliked both guys ever since and was so happy to hear Brock lost his UFC title.

The nWo mock-up of Arn Anderson's retirement. Had it actually been done as part of an angle, I'd be fine with it. But it just happened and that was the end of it. Arn is my 2nd favorite of all time, a guy who had consistently busted his ass for the company for the better part of a decade, and had just had to retire due to injury. So Terry Taylor comes up with the bright idea to mock the whole thing, but not do the natural thing from an angle perspective and have the Horsemen run out for revenge. Instead it came off as, "Let's make fun of the guy who had to retire because one of his arms isn't working right and basically call him a drunk. Why? Oh, no reason."

Shawn Michaels throwing Marty Jannetty through the Barber Shop window. (Or, scaring Jannetty enough to force him to jump out it; however you want to remember it.) I loved his matches, was a huge fan of his, and loved his final match against The Undertaker at WM... but part of me still shakes my head and asks, "Why, Shawn? Why?"

The main event of Judgment Day 2000.
For years I thought in the Iron Man match that special ref HBK DQed The Rock for The Undertaker Tombstoning Triple H, which was after the time. I always though The Rock got screwed. Then I see it was for The Undertaker chokeslamming Triple H a few moments earlier, which I thought he missed but he actually saw it. Whih made me wonder how he caught that but missed the entire Facgime beating the hell out of The Rock.
I thought it was gonna lead to something but a all we got was Shawn insisting the next night he made the right call. Then he disappeared for a month and passed the Commissioner reigns off to Mick Foley.

Human Tornado using the Benoit Murders for cheap heat. I'm still kinda pissed that PWG didn't catch any flack for that.

He turned full heel on Candice LeRae by hitting her with his finish twice, doing the cut throat gesture, then putting her in the Crossface. Personally, I thought this was f***ing awesome, because of the dude in the front row saying "that's f***ed up" andd being shocked shitless, but I can see why anyone would be offended, given that this happened two months after the murders. |

I was going to say Starrcade '97 too. Still pisses me off, both for how WCW utterly blasted themselves in the foot and just how badly Sting's credibility got hurt with that one.

It's a bit silly, but Stunning Steve Austin turning into Stone Cold. It's still weird for me to see the Hollywood Blond footage and think, "this guy's going to shave his head, shotgun beer, curse every second word, and stun his boss". I was old enough to remember the Blonds well and it's still strange to me.

HHH's reign of terro 2003 to 2005, it made me upset that he refused to put certain guys over and was extremely greedy and ruined the careers of guys to, makes me sick to this day my hatred for him will never die

Speaking of the Blondes, breaking them up never made any sense at all. You could have even turned them face at some point and made a ton of $$$.

Sgt Slaughter becoming the WWF World Champion at the Royal Rumble.
That is probably my biggest heartbreak in the history of wrestling.
The Ultimate Warrior was even wearing red, white, and blue... gah.

Like 2-3 months after the muders happened, the ran an angle where Tornado was all abusive to his valet and then eventually beat her up, then did Benoit's taunt and slapped the crossface on her. The most offensive, tasteless thing I've ever seen in wrestling. At least with the whole Rey/Eddie thing that everyone likes to bitch about, it was simply about a person who adored his friend and wanted to live up to his legacy and honor him. This was about invoking a killer for cheap heat. Totally disgusts me and to this day I refuse to give PWG my money. |

Yea, I agree with this. Though I don't hold a grudge against either of them, I probably never will get over what a rip off that match was. HHH's title runs from 2002-2003 is another one. It's not so much the fact that he had the belt for so long, but the way that he just crushed through different challengers every month, and not only would they be out of the title scene, they'd be out of the main event scene afterward. Guys like Jericho, RVD, Booker, Kane...they all seemed to flourish for a long time after feuding with HHH. |
