I believe he debuted as a character in Fall 1992 and as a wrestler in Winter 1993. huh. something seems off. I was 12/13 when I stopped watching. So that would have been 94/95. I guess Doink had nothing to do with it. Well Doink starting really turning to shit when he turned babyface and Borne left the company, doubly so when they brought in his midget equivalent Dink in 94, so its entirely possible his godawful stuff in 94/95 played a factor.

95
I couldn't even turn to WCW as that too was shit In 95.
2003 Raw was abysmal but SD was amazing 2014 was bad...really bad but it still had a couple decent PPVs and feuds/Matches/moments

In terms of the quality of what's on screen I would say 2009, but it's been a really harrowing 5 years and in terms of my experience as a WWE fan, 2014 was the real tipping point where I just lost all faith in this company to ever get its act together.

2007. My least favorite WrestleMania ever in 23, where the main event still pisses me off to this day, you had talented Divas like Mickie and Melina being pushed aside for the awful Diva Search girls (Ashley, Candice, etc.) A rash of injuries,Khali, Lashley, ECW which I was never a fan of (the original OR WWECW) and of course, the Benoit incident. It's fitting that was the last year I stopped watching both shows every week without hesitation.

2006 was when I stopped watching regularly for the next 4 years so that.

Although there have been many sucky years in the past decade, 1994 and 2002 have lead to my longest sabbaticals from Wrestling. In the end '94 gets my vote due to the crushing disappointment and realisation that virtually all my childhood favourites were now long gone and were not coming back

To answer the question, I've been watching since 2000 so ruling out any of the years prior to that I'm going with 2006/2007 with 07 being slightly worse due to all the deaths and injuries.
2009 Raw was bad but SmackDown and ECW were good. All three brands were shitty in 2006 and 2007.

I REALLY should pick 07 due to Benoit, Sherri and such.... also, it was the worst year of my life up to that point. However, that year, I really relied on wrestling to help me through my misery and discovered indie wrestling and got super into it.... so I can't really say for sure.
I would say 1995? I think that was Diesel's World Title Reign.... I remember being relentlessly bored that whole time.

It's tough to say as many of the years end up merging into one, especially when I was a kid.
2009 and 2014 stand out as being painful to watch rather than merely uninspiring. Conversely though both contain some of my favourite moments/matches (eg Undertaker vs HBK, The Shields run). If it was just the main roster and business practices I'd still go 2014 but I can't when I loved NXT for most of the year.
So from what I remember 1995. I hated HBK after he cheated to rob my countryman British Bulldog out of his rumble victory, I didn't like Diesel, Undertaker wasn't doing much of note (Kama?), one of my least favourite WMs (an American footballer I've never head of?) and the awful KotR 95.
Hmm thinking about it the one thing all those years have in common is feeling marginalised as a UK fan due to British Bulldog, obscure American celebs and the network situation respectively with everything else adding er... not insult to injury... shit to insult?

Whatever year was Triple H's Reign of Terror ... I think 2003.

I went with 2013, because the time period between Summerslam '13 and WrestleMania 30 was my absolute lowest point as a wrestling fan. The time period where I would often think to myself "Why? Why am I watching this?" when I would watch WWE programming. At least 2014 gave us the really good WrestleMania 30.
'Honorable' mention goes to 2010/2011ish, the time period when it hit me that WWE wasn't as good as it used to be, just barren, boring, the superstar crop wasn't really good.

Although there were some bright spots that year (Shield vs Wyatts, WrestleMania XXX, Daniel Bryan getting his moment to shine, Rollins vs Ambrose on Raw, etc.), 2014 did more to piss me off than make me genuinely enjoy the product.

'06-'09 was one big shitty blur to me. But whichever year had Legacy and Cena ending pretty much every Raw.
