On what to order for lunch during our iwc meetings. It's mainly when we get pizza. No two people can ever agree on which toppings to get. It can get ugly.

I don't think that's a fair example. It's not like at the time anybody knew that those 18 seconds would suddenly make Bryan the most over wrestler in the company. Several people, myself included, bought that PPV partly on the basis of Bryan vs. Sheamus because those two had great in-ring chemistry, as Extreme Rules showed. And even if you thought Sheamus sucked, most people were expecting a MOTYC out of Bryan, and we got a shitty squash match - which especially infuriated me because it's the fourth or fifth time I've bought a PPV and then been handed a squash match for my trouble (Chavo/Kane, JBL/Mysterio, Christian/Regal, 18 seconds, and I'm sure there are others). I thought this was way overblown at the time. I thought it was actually the perfect way for his reign to end. He'd become this totally cocky bastard, edging his way through title matches so him being so arrogant as to refuse to wrestle until he kissed AJ then getting pinned was brilliant. Any other venue or event, that would've been great. I think it really was the right idea, wrong time. They should have saved it for Big Show-Rhodes since Rhodes had been talking up how much of a Mania failure Show was so him KOing Rhodes in seconds would've felt very Warrior-HTM-like. But I do think the IWC went a bit too crazy hating it. Some of us paid money for that WrestleMania, and they, for the second year in a row, gave us precisely no wrestling from the best worker on the roster. If the same thing happened in the Cena-Rock match, people would sue for false advertisement

Whether or not CM Punk would sign a new contract before MITB 2011. It was never even a question. According to Punk, it really was. He wasn't sure himself until a few days before, and he only signed the new contract about an hour before his match at MITB

All in that order. I think that gets negated by almost everyone turning around and saying "Actually, WWE was right with Ryder, thank god he's back to the bottom."

I'd have to say Punk losing to Triple H at Night Of Champions 2011.
This was about as much of a non-burial you could get out of Trips without actually beating him (and even then, his recent matches with Lesnar put that theory to the test) with it being a lengthy match and all the run-ins and Pedigree kickouts, yet some people carried on like he got squashed like he was Mike Sharpe or something (although part of the bad reaction could have been that the possible saving throw of the angle, that being Punk beating Trips, was likely never coming to pass).

Ken Kennedy.
In 2005 - 2006 practically everyone on line was saying this guy was going to be huge. They compared him to everyone and were convinced he was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Look at him now...lmfao!!!
Even most people who raved about him back then agree he isn't anything special now.

Other than introducing his own name I could never understand what was so good about him. Not ripping on people for being wrong about him or anything I myself a few years back predicted Orton would turn out to be much bigger than John Cena and look how that turned out.

Yeah, II'll cop to that one. For me it was one moment. "Undertaker, come out and Plaaaayaaay". unfortunately he never rose to that level again. I kept hoping. But then the injuries. Then the post Benoit fiasco. By that time I was done.

The idea a couple years back that if Cena lost to the Rock at wrestlemania, since The Rock was a part time wrestler it would make Cena and the entire WWE look weak and useless.

It's hilarious how fast seemingly everyone soured on Ryder. That whole Ryder fiasco was like fapping to really weird porn. In the moment you are super into it, but then you finish and it hits you what you were looking at and you think "What the f*** was I doing?" and become disgusted with yourself for the rest of the day. Well that and Ryder's attitude on twitter made even his biggest supporters start to turn on him

One that gets me is HBK's selling in the hogan match. I thought it was hysterical and I also got HBK's point. To me, add to the match the Cena/rock logic/arguments (FT vs PT/SA)and a little bit of time and it doesn 't seem like a big deal. Yet, some people bring it up to this day.

All in that order. The way that WWE handled Ryder was all wrong. Ryder got exposed because WWE made the mistaken assumption that Ryder's newfound overness meant that he was their new big main event star. And yes they SHOULD have protected him from his terrible mic skills. But instead they shoehorned him into every other segment with every other main event level talent where he was outclassed in every way. Ryder's GIMMICK, is that he's an average performer who milks the fact that he sucks for humor, yet I'm not sure if WWE completely got that. Ryder should've gotten a treatment similar to Santino, where he's on RAW every week doing funny comedy segments, and generally protected because he isn't used to job very much and is just going over other low card talents on Superstars or in filler matches on RAW.
