It has to be the original Sin Cara. Most of the things on this list simply were not flops at all. In fact Main eventer Jack Swagger is the only one I think a reasonable argument could be made for but given how amazing his tag team is I think it is hard to make that argument stand. But Sin Cara he came in as a huge deal things never went completely right for him and this year they just all fell apart. His last match where it seemed that Del Rio actually started to attack him before was a low point to what had the promise of a great career. Then he just disappeared and never showed up again, what a terrible why to go out, and now Sin Cara Negro has taken his place. They basically said Sin Cara is great the person under the mask wasn't. You cant flop much harder than that.

another one that's not on the list; Total Divas is a somewhat successful show in and of itself, but they haven't been able to translate that into more people watching Raw, and attempts to make people care about Total Divas on Raw get met either with apathy or boos.

I still think Swagger's run would have been better if he:
1. Didn't get busted, which is a given.
2. Have Zeb and Swagger DO racist things. Stuff like JBL at the boarder tossin out illegals made you HATE the man so much and made you hope that Eddie would kick his ass. The minute the media, sponsers, Mattel, got a wiff of the angle, it was dead beacuse WWE wouldn't risk it's sponsers or the bad press by doing extremes with the pair.

The Ryback heel turn was and still is a bust.

Total Divas is still a successful show so theres no way it counts here. Plus. It's The Bomb.Com

I'm not sure I'd really call Ryback's heel run a flop, because that implies it was intended to do something other than feed his credibility to a bunch of other guys before shoving him down the card, which is exactly what wound up happening.
The pathetic desperation that was "Made in America" Alberto del Rio takes the gold for this one, IMO.

Big Show replacing Daniel Bryan in the Authority feud. That buyrate speaks for itself.

Ziggler for me. Swagger is awesome where he is so I don't see it as a flop. Ryback second.

Gotta say The Authority in general. I thought it had a ton of promise, but it just completely fizzled out. REmember how it was all about "the roster will not stand for this much longer, they will rebel!"? That one Raw, they came out and helped out after Bryan got hia ass beat for like 10 shows straight. Then, it was all about Bryan getting screwed, then Big Show suing then not then losing a title match then teaming with Mysterio then squirting a man's face wearing a diaper. In the meantime, Triple H and Stephanie just sort of...became reasonable authority figures who preferred Orton to win.
