Eddie turning heel on Tajiri in 2003 is up there for me. Eddie was beloved and they kept cheering him immediately after. It went on a little bit longer but he turned face pretty quickly and was world champion a few months after that.

Big E (who just happened to be her enemy’s henchman) being revealed as Kaitlyn’s secret admirer. Then days later at the PPV she loses her title to AJ and bursts into tears. It was obviously supposed to be a big emotional sympathetic moment but she was such a dumbass babyface for falling for the ruse that she was greeted with boos and you tapped out chants as she sat there crying her eyes out.

Pretty much the entire WWE product now. They constantly cut to the crowd hoping to catch the next Miz Girl or Brock Lesnar guy or Undertaker loss guy, not understanding how they got those reactions in the first place. Just ISO the crowd and put them in in post.

I liked Kaitlyn for the most part, but yeah, the character came off like an idiot for that, and she also had the problem of AJ just being wildly popular, so the fans were inclined to side with her still.

Pretty much all of WWE since the Attitude Era ended.
The company have either killed anything organic since then, or been dragged kicking and screaming until they reluctantly accepted it.

Dusty Rhodes winning the Bunkhouse Stampede in 88 for the billionth time instead of the newly turned babyface Lex Luger who was over like crazy after leaving the Horsemen.

Jarrett attacking Hogan at a press conference was a perfectly fine moment.
TNA repeating the clip for years acting like it was the greatest thing in the history of our sport was very forced.

I found Shane McMahon's jump off the cell at Wrestlemania 32 forced. Dosen't help that WWE likes to play it up as an historic moment in their video packages. The match itself was very boring and plodding, and the storyline behind it was nonessential.

Anytime anyone had to sell Cena's shitty STFU. Cena is just laying on top of the guy doing nothing and the guy had to sell it like it was death. Even worse when they actually had to tap out in spite of the fact Cena is clearly applying zero pressure or putting any torque on the move whatsoever. I remember a segment on TV in the build to Cena / Nicky vs Miz / Maryse at WM where Nicky and Cena applied the move to Miz and Maryse side-by-side and Nicky's looked way better/more painful. While Cena laid on top of Miz and Miz had to sell it. It was a legit LOL moment for me. The fact that this lame ass move won hundreds of matches for decades will always be a joke. And for anyone that wants to say "the People's Elbow or Leg Drop" at least those moves were performed by 270-300 pound men coming down on their opponent with force and impact. Cena literally laid on his opponent and screamed and made facials like he was attempting to harm them while it was very obvious to anyone watching that he was doing nothing to hurt them at all.
On Arn's Podcast he said the reason Cena was afraid to apply pressure to the move is because Cena was afraid of actually hurting his opponents. Did it ever cross anybody's mind that he change his finisher to something he was more comfortable applying?

I thought Zack Ryder's IC title win was kinda cool. Too bad he lost it the very next night to The Miz robbing us out of what could've been a fun underdog reign.

I bet that Sabu (a man who wrestled a lot of hardcore and deathmatches and used tape to tape wounds shut) LOVED tapping out to that hold.

I mean most wrestlers probably don't care as long as they got paid...

Watching The Royal Rumble two nights ago made me realize why I am no longer invested in the product. Brock Lesnar coming back from his WWE title loss and winning the whole thing to continue his eternal feud with Roman Reigns(that no one wanted to begin with) is their way of saying "We did nothing and we're all out of ideas," and to a lesser extent Ronda Rousey's win.
Sadly, those two are the closest things they have to a draw these days.

Did it ever cross anybody's mind that he change his finisher to something he was more comfortable applying? Didn't he shoot accidentally choke someone unconscious with it? I thought it was eh, better than Rock's sharpshooter at least, but yeah, he should have just used a different move, especially once he moved away from the FU joke with his other finisher, anyway.

Different time, you didn't need to do something with 40 flips (yes I know Just Concisely who I sound like...) PE = well he usually did the Rock Bottom before it, or to a lesser extent the spinebuster. However...there is NO excuse for THE WORM to pin people.

In the span of 90 seconds Kurt said he wished America would lose the Iraq War, the best country in the world was France, that he wasn't a big fan of "the black people" and if he could he'd go back in time and make Jesus tap out and still got cheered by the end of the promo. Masterclass mode And I remember at the time people somehow missed that Kurt was saying this outrageous stuff to kinda prove that he could say anything and people would cheer him. I mean... Kurt flat out says it in the promo. Of course the best part was after Kurt said he'd make Jesus tap Diavari says "Who'd he ever beat?" Well Death Itself...but that is treading into FAN-unfriendly topics.
