lol this is getting to be a looooooooong list
1. Alberto is a 2 time WWE champ seemingly for no reason, with the NOC switch being COMPLETELY pointless in an UNDERCARD match which was terrible
2. Ziggler/Edge feud
3. The 'walkout' going nowhere.
4. Taking the belt off Mark Henry by making him lose clean to Big Show (when he should have just been kept out the ring til he got better).
5. Having Beth Phoenix lose to Kelly Kelly in Buffalo.
6. Making Beth and Eve wrestle a lumberjill match for no reason.
(in fact the whole booking of the women's division with their frequent 1 minute TV matches has been awful. Let's not even talk about Natalya being Beth's lackey and jobber to all the faces for no reason.)
7. The WM main event was horribly booked.
8. John Morrison.

Really, anything that involved HHH outside of the Taker feud in 2011 is a contender. Whether it was helping to kill Voice of the Voiceless CM Punk's momentum, the godawful Nash feud, or the walkout that basically turned 95% of the roster heel, he always seemed to be involved in the worst stuff this year. This.... though what happened after their WM match (Taker carried off while HHH walks away) was more of his usual garbage.

Close 2nd place - Mark Henry in the main event. boo this man. Mark Henry being awesome was one of the highlights of the year. serious answer is probably Kevin Nash. Just, anything Kevin Nash. At all.

CM Punk's whole cliquey thn. he was aimlessly wandering. Cena being beholden to the new Nexus. But Johnny ASe is by far too undertstatedly stupid; the latest in a lone of glorified announcers (Adamle, Cole) just holding a position until Trips wants face time again

Kong getting pregnant. I never like pregnancy angles in the first place, but it seems foolish to book someone out after such a strong build up.

The followup of New Nexus vs the Corre.
We end the year with Barrett ousted as Nexus leader and he's exiled to Smackdown. (With absolutely nothing in return from SD. The Anonymous Raw GM must have really wanted rid of him.) Slater and Gabriel follow him over and they form the Corre with Big Zeke.
Pretty much the entire followup to the feud consisted of...OMG...NEW NEXUS AND THE CORRE ARE BRAWLING BEFORE THE RUMBLE MATCH! Seriously, that was it. The bad blood between Barrett and Punk was so bad that they only brawled before a match started.
New Nexus ended up getting slowly dismantled by Randy Orton and the Corre faced a random teaming of superstars.
Punk blew up and New Nexus disappeared without a single trace or ending. The Corre slowly imploded on their own.
Fin.
It was about par for the course with the rest of the Nexus angle.

I'm a Youtube viewer.
I actively stopped watching Punk segments after Nash got involved. That is a total 180 from when everything Punk did was must-watch stuff in the summer.
Cannot understand the stop-start-stop-start push of Pin Up Strong. I'd imagine Natalya and Beth are going to feud soon to set up a 'Mania match, but surely they should be booked strongly before they start losing regularly.

I liked the Ziggler/Edge feud, the ending ruined it though.

Didn't read the whole thread, but Triple H going over Punk, and Punk made to apologize to Triple H for doubting him. As if he were El Dandy or something. While it did lead to an entertaining tag team match with Triple H and Punk as a team, it definitely wasn't worth it. Punk should have taken on Nash, and if they wanted to keep Triple H in some sort of baby face role, they could certainly have those heated debates between one another, maybe not do the whole Punk thinking Triple H is part of the conspiracy against him, and after the match, Triple H offers the handshake, Punk accepts, because Punk still respects his ability.

Close 2nd place - Mark Henry in the main event. boo this man. Mark Henry being awesome was one of the highlights of the year. While I admit his booking until he lost the title was practically flawless, I find it sad that a useless lump like Henry got such a big push in 2011 despite only ever being mildly over since 1996, and with his most memorable work being as a low card comedy act in 1999. I suppose it shows how far WWE has fallen if Henry is to be considered as one of the best wrestlers in the company. I will say his recent work has been pretty solid and is easily the most I've enjoyed him for years. Still, Mark Henry: World Champion in 2011? Really? This and most of the other WWE/World title reigns wouldn't have happened if there was one WWE World title, as there would be actual competition for the championship rather than every other midcarder getting a turn for no reason. Only the cream would rise to the top, the product would be better as a whole for it and guys wouldn't get the title until they were fully developed, over characters. Didn't read the whole thread, but Triple H going over Punk, and Punk made to apologize to Triple H for doubting him. Ugh, this. Would Austin have ever apologised to Vince? Talk about a character castration.

Whoever thought that Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler being booked into a feud was a good idea? It would have been okay if it ended at Mania or at the very least transitioned in Cole being a manager and then having his first client feud (and win the feud) against Lawler. But yeah after a while it was like God no not again
