2018-2019 had some trash television

[HIM]

(Please nobody bring up AEW in this thread yall, this ain't that, take that elsewhere)

And yeah this era had some amazing things such as Kofimania. This had some really high points but let's talk about the bad points. Anyway, so I'm on Twitter and I see a random video of some bad stuff from these 2 years and wow it's way worse than I remember. Here's some of what happened then.

- Kofi losing to Lesnar. Just getting this out of the way
- Roman/Corbin which had the dog food stuff, that dude in a dog costume, just dumb
- Someone was attacking Roman backstage resulting in something almost falling on him, Roman accusing people, Bryan accused, 2 Rowans, just nutty
- The Revival shaving themselves and them sliding their asses across the ring
- Ambrose vs EC3
- Bane Ambrose Era which had him getting shots
- Batista's last run. Him going "HUH" at the screen and shit
- Lio and Lashley showing his butt to the screen because Vince apparently liked it
- Angle's last match which was him losing to Corbin
- 24/7 Title bullshit
- *REDACTED* vs *REDACTED* at Crown Jewel. You know the one, the one where Rey got his homie to come fight and his homie lost
- The Fiend/Rollins feud. You know, the one where Seth went too hard in a HIAC match and they had to stop it
- Lashley's sisters. Yep
- The Crown Jewel match that HBK/HHH/Taker/Kane all wanna forget
- Lars Sullivan
- Taker/Goldberg
- Shane McMahon "Best In The World" and anything surrounding him
- Lashley/Lana and hell anything focused around them including that Liv stuff which went nowhere
- Mike and Maria K's "father of my child is-" storyline where embarrassed homie down week after week for no reason
- (Roman recently said this was the worst time of his career)

This is just SOME of the stuff from then. God it was bad.

Vince was WILDIN.

2 rowans was one of the funniest things in WWE history at least. other than that, it was times like these that made me think WWE was going to be stuck like that. hell didn't they tease nia jax vs ambrose before he headed out too?

also i still haven't seen a single second of that HBK/HHH/Taker/Kane match but kinda want to see if its really that comically bad.

Yeah they did tease those 2 wrestling.

I didn't see that match but I saw the gifs and was cracking up as I played Red Dead 2. Such a wild time.

NXT was cookin though.

[Georgina's Fancy Water]

Dude I was watching Wrestlingifs' rewatch of every 2010s MITB video and I screamed out loud finding out that Roman Reigns vs. Jinder Mahal was a real match that went 16 minutes in 2018.

I LITERALLY WATCHED THIS WHOLE PPV WHEN IT AIRED AND I HAVE NO CONCEPT OF THIS MATCH EVER HAPPENING.

That's it, that's all you have to say

Gotta be one of the stupidest gimmicks ever created and it made everyone look like shit.

The Rollins-Fiend HIAC was so bad that the world turned on it immediately and Seth Rollins scrambled as fast as humanly possible to disavow it. And this was Peak WWE Buttlicker Rollins.

The Rowan thing kind of makes me wonder… why the f*** didn’t they do Roman vs Bryan at Summerslam? Neither of them even competed at that event. I think face Roman vs heel Bryan could have been an interesting variation. This was after Roman came back from his cancer battle too so it would of worked

[theironyuppie]

Don't forget Vince's brilliant idea to capitalise on Becky Lynch's momentum after she beat Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in the historic first women's Wrestlemania main event being a three-month feud with Lacey Evans, who had previously been seen walking partway down the ramp and back up again.

Plus of course...WILD CARD.

The Wild Card bullshit was inexcusable. When you create rules and change them every week without rhyme or reason, you've lost the plot and you need to be gone.

you ever see that stephen a smith meme about witnessing mental illness? just that in its entirety. every single show was filled with shit that didn't make a lick of sense but with a competent booker, things could've popped off. i don't think it is the outright bad stuff that made me that mad back then, it was seeing clear as day W's right in front of vince's face and he was too much of an asshole to be normal for once

[This Player Hating Mothman]

It's a good thing ratings were so shit that tons of people didn't watch it because I don't know how the company came back from those couple years that was some of the most dire wrestling TV I've ever witnessed

Vince was WILDIN.

Let's give it up to the All Mighty Bobby Lashley for surviving ALL OF THAT SHIT, and still remaining over.

Vince: "The Wildcard Rule is...three members of Smackdown could be invited to Raw, three members members of Smackdown could be invited...to Smackdown. You understand what I'm trying to say?"

[mattyy]

remember when Brodie Lee kept begging for his release because they were doing nothing with him, so they booked him in a tag match with rowan against roman and bryan and then proceeded to continue to do nothing with him?

[schizo]

They f***ed up the stupid wild card rules shit the same day they announced it

“Only 3 member of SmackDown are invited”

5 or 6 SmackDown superstars show up anyways

[Lizuka #BLM]

How about when Kalisto publicly called out Lars Sullivan's racist bullshit and they responded by having him repeatedly squash Lucha House Party three-on-one?

[Doo Doo is Worse Than WCW 2000]

2019 really is one of the worst WWE years ever, looking back on things. This section was so miserable the whole year, lol.

Drew McIntyre was being horribly misused at this time, too. They kept forcing him as this boring, generic monster heel and no one gave a shit about him.
