We've all stumbled across them. What are the worst booking ideas you've heard around the ol wrestling community.
Just heard a podcast claim that Nikki Cross should be Sister Abigail. The dead girl in Bray Wyatt's head.

I remembering seeing a suggestion once that Shelton Benjamin should end Lesnar's undefeated streak in a feud based around their team in OVW.

Once, Jim Cornette was the picture of booking excellence in wrestling.
...then, he claimed that the InVasion needed to have certain matches decided by letting the WCW name and WWF name get in literal shootfights.

I don't think he said actual shoot fights, I think he said they would have those "everything is fake but this" type matches. Still shitty though. His fantasy booking of the Invasion was the same bullshit he hates Vince Russo for.

Now I'm imagining a scenario where Steve Austin gets booked in a shoot fight against Kwee Wee, and Kwee Wee just completely beats the shit out of him.

What's bizarre is that I once listened to Russo fantasy booking the Invasion and his concept was actually less shooty and swerve tastic than Cornette's.

The dead girl in Bray Wyatt's head. I've been telling everyone I can get to listen to me that Bayley should be the reincarnation of Sister Abigail. Just for seeing the huggy light and cheerful Bayley getting courted by the dark and brooding Wyatts.

I'm more concerned about the bad ideas in YouTube comments. "BRING BAK TEH ATITTUDE ERA!!!!" I half agree with them. I too want to see the return of an exciting, engaging, entertaining weekly tv shows which leave us on the edge of our seat and wondering what the hell is going to happen next. Although a return to all things Attitude wouldn't achieve it, I do believe that taking some elements of it would do no harm to the current product. Once, Jim Cornette was the picture of booking excellence in wrestling. ...then, he claimed that the InVasion needed to have certain matches decided by letting the WCW name and WWF name get in literal shootfights. Didn't he also have Dusty Rhodes facing somebody like The Undertaker or Stone Cold at Wrestlemania 17?

Jim Ross said multiple times a few years back on several different outlets that he thought Undertaker should go undefeated at WrestleMania, win the WWE Title in his last 'Mania match, then kill the lights during his victory pose, lights come on, the belt is lying face up in the ring and that's how The Undertaker exits WWE. Like, come on. Who the f*** does that get over? Granted, they wasted the streak on Lesnar since then, but in what world does a guy win a world title and just say "f*** it, I'm done" and leave the title in the ring?

I once heard Brandon Stroud and Danielle Matheson call Kevin Owens (Steen at the time) "awful/one of the worst" and then said if you he was your favorite wrestle you "Had bad taste in wrestlers". I stopped listening to their show after that and eventually grew to loathe both of them once I really delved into their horrible opinions.
Jim Ross is usually good for a few bad ideas. I generally like Cornette's ideas and agree with a lot that he says, but yeah, his WM 17 fantasy booking was awful.

That Vince and Shane should have a shoot fight once a year at Survivor Series to determine if it's Vince's time to retire or not. (I want to say I saw this around 2010ish)
Wait... that's not the worst idea I've heard. Sure, it's a horrible way to do business and just terrible in general... but I'd tune in.

I would love to see Shane start throwing his bunny punches only to be knocked the f*** out by his 70-year-old father.

That kayfabe is dead and should be ignored, which basically makes the entire wrestling industry pointless.

I stopped listening to their show after that and eventually grew to loathe both of them once I really delved into their horrible opinions. I remember Brandon used to hate Owens pre WWE but to be fair he's completely changed his opinion now and totally loves him. I think he usually make a lot of good points in his columns although I've never listened to his podcast.

A while back I saw someone suggest that WWE run Nia Jax vs Brock Lesnar at Summerslam.
