Wanted to make a thread noting all the horrible and downright idiotic decisions Vince has made booking over his life.
I am going to start with Vince's obsession with booking Taker against BIGGER guys, who couldn't work and often injured him. Giant Gonzalez, Khali, Mable.
Undertaker is Vince's best character creation, but boy did he do everything in his power to ruin the mystique of the character at times

Booking faces to lose or be humiliated in front of their hometown crowd for no reason other than HEAT and to get his jollies.

Speaking of Undertaker, Vince deciding to end the Streak with Lesnar will ALWAYS be one of the worst for me.

Anytime someone started to get over on their own and he did everything in his power to kill their heat.
Vince McMahon, the booker did an impressive amount of f***ing up.

Just a side note, there’s a lot of these “Remember these bad things Vince did on TV?” threads lately, probably because there’s very little stuff like that right now so there’s nothing to talk about.

Having Dolph Ziggler take the place of an injured Roman in a Survivor Series match to take out the Authority, but then once Roman comes back, punishing Dolph for getting over by giving him endless stupid angles for the next 2 years until all his heat dies. Then when he actually gets any momentum again from that feel good title win over Miz, negate it the next month anyway by having Miz beat him back for the title and calling him a loser on camera for like 5 solid minutes.
And then he's totally dead until he gets fired 6 years after that, having wasted his entire prime wrestling for a company that doesn't love him back.

There was always a pettiness of punishing or wrecking those characters he didn't create or push. Sting, lots of nxt characters he didn't develop once they hit main roster. Tyler breeze, Alistair black, karrion kross, Keith Lee, bobby roode, Adam rose, etc. Punishing rusev, Zack ryder etc.
Dr hiney to make fun of jim Ross for no reason.
The streak end
Alberto del rio cashes in on Daniel Bryan
Nash somehow ends summer of punk

Eh, that one I do understand, even if it was rarely actually watchable. The Undertaker character spent the bulk of his time as a face so you'd kind of want him on the backfoot and there are only so many ways to make someone like him an underdog.

Everything they did with Zack Ryder from the moment he got over on his own to the moment he got fired with very few exceptions.

Set up months of vignettes, have the wrestler show up like once or twice and then becomes a jobber, stuck on Main Event, or fired.

Add Rusev Day, Bad News Barrett, anytime someone got over they would randomly be punished for it. Also the booking of guys like Bray or Sheamus where even though they are former champions they just never seen to win any major match or feud.

At the time nobody wanted it to end, but looking back, the streak ending was a HUGE moment still talked about today and at the time Brock was the right guy to do it. ADR cashed in on Punk which ended up being a non issue since Punk ended up beating ADR for the title and held the title for a year and a half. Unless your talking about Orton cashing in on Bryan which I also feel was the right option since it kicked of Bryan vs the Authority

I feel like a lot of things being talked about these days are the progression of the storylines. It feels weird, for the last 20+ years, everyone was complaining about wwe’s booking and now it’s good…

His constant humiliation of Jim Ross for no reason was a dipshit move and that alone should earn him a place in hell
