The Straight Edge Society. When your team is losing three on one handicap matches to Rey Mysterio, it's very clear that somebody in back hates you.

Would cases like Molly Holly and Mickie James count? Both were "pushed", but then had their physiques derided (much more in Molly's case, since the King and even JR of all people agreed with Trish that she had a fat ass). I wouldn't say Mickie counts. She was the face (so we weren't supposed to agree with LayCool), she got a lot of sympathy from the fans, she destroyed McCool at Royal Rumble (she won in 19 seconds), and the only reason she dropped the title to McCool was because of the staph infection in her leg. So I wouldn't say it was a burial, it was a bullying storyline where the bully got what they deserved, and would have gotten it even more had it not had been for injury. It was building to McCool vs Mickie vs Beth at Mania, with Mickie and Beth beating the crap out of McCool. Molly on the other hand, that was different. That you could call a burial, because it was a face saying it to a heel, and the announcers laughing about it. |

May be controversial but Shane Douglas...In my opinion at one time he definitely had all the tools...If it wasn't for a select group of people that are idolized I think he could have accomplished a lot more...

I understand why he did ir, just saying it happend In Vince's defense, he did the whole "thumbs up/thumbs down" thing with the audience with a few WCW guys to see who he should keep around. Luger was the only one to get a mostly negative reaction from the crowd. The general pro wrestling audience was sick of the guy before the final Nitro ever happened. |

Not just The Clique, but Douglas also had grudges with Ric Flair and Jim Cornette, who once said "the only way Douglas would be happy is if the match was Douglas vs. Douglas, with Douglas as the referee". |

It was building to McCool vs Mickie vs Beth at Mania, with Mickie and Beth beating the crap out of McCool. Between the Rumble and Mickie getting fired, Laycool got their win back 4 times (Michelle 3 times, Layla once). Everyone talks about the Piggy James stuff, but Laycool owned her badly after the Rumble, too. Also, Todd Grisham and Matt Striker were fairly netural, if anything, during the feud. They would half-heartedly condemn Laycool, and one night, Grisham even kinda started acting like them, saying Mickie's hat smelled like bacon bits. |

I don't throw around the term a lot, but the first example for me that comes to mind is The Public Enemy during their WWF run in 1999.

It is when said babyface owns you for the better part of 4 months despite you having a clear numbers advantage |

Orlando Jordan was united state champion in the top stable, then he repeatedly lost to Benoit in under 30 seconds, then Booker T laughed at him and Benoit mocked him, then he went to velocity then he was fired.

I guess that means that DDP was never buried in WWE then, since he was jobbing to 'Taker and 'Taker was a hot babyface.  |

Wasn't this because Jordan wanted to incorporate his real-life bisexuality into his character, and when the WWE said no, he took that idea to TNA. This was the result: |

WWE Creative Member:
Ok Zack, we have a storyline all mapped out for you. Firstly you are going to portray a John Cena fanboy, as a result you will be comically destroyed by Kane on a weekly basis, then you will lose the US Championship to Jack Swagger, then your girlfriend will admit she would rather be with Cena, but you still love her until she causes you to lose an important match at Wrestlemania.
Zack Ryder:
Wow. Then what happens?
[Awkward silence]
Zack Ryder:
Surely I revenge on these people?
[Awkward silence]
Zack Ryder:
At least one of them? Ever?
WWE Creative Member:
Come this way, we need to measure you up for a neck brace.

The Ultimate Warrior. Not in booking, but how many other Superstars had a WWE DVD released for the sole purpose of cutting his legacy down.
Totally agree with Dean/Shane Douglas, also. I recall seeing an episode of Superstars, which may have been the last time he was on WWF, where JR was on commentary cutting him down and calling him overrated. I found that odd at the time, because it was one of the first times I heard a play-by-play/face announcer cut down a heel on his ability rather than his dirty deeds.

He wasn't buried at all. They gave him 2 title runs and he never reached the same popularity as he did in WCW. Not a burial. |
