It was a year of ups and downs The Ups: -Lucha Underground -Kevin Owens -Jay Lethal -La Sombra and Kana aka Asuka getting signed -Bayley vs. Sasha, both matches -Roman busting his ass to get better -Ya boys, The New Day -EC III -PWG -Sting in a WWE ring -Jushin "Thunder" Liger in a WWE ring
The Downs -Dusty Rhodes passing -Hogan's tirade -Roddy Piper passing -Nick Bockwinkel passing -Perrito's death in the ring -The slew of Injuries and WWE paying the price of not building new stars -Dixie being Dixie -AJPW going through troubles
Yeah it was trying in it's way but Dusty said we all go through them Hard Time Blues, daddy.
But I have hope Wrestling will be better in 2016.

As far as WWE goes, this year and last year have flat out sucked. There were shining moments but by and large, both of these years have been rotten and legitimately one of the worst periods that I've experienced as a fan since I first started watching in 2002.

The last few years of WWE have all been around the same level really, pretty hit or miss, the match quality has been solid but the storylines have mostly been unexciting and the product generally quite stagnant.
but yeah better than the Guest Host period at the very least

Usually I roll my eyes at "this was the worst year" claims, but I can't disagree with this year. It wasn't so much bad as just boring, which in some ways is worse. That's exactly it. I've been watching regularly my entire life, and I've never been as bored as I was in 2015.

Seth Rollins MITB cash-in and The New Day were my favourite happenings on the main roster but NXT fulfilled most of my actual wrestling needs.
Somehow, the viable alternative and competitor to WWE is...a WWE branded show. Go figure.

2015 was a year... that happened.
Wrestlemania was fun, but I was there so that probably skews my opinion of it.
IMO just about everything took a step backwards this year. Even NXT feels like it's been spinning its wheels when compared to last year.

I can't understand how people can say this is the worst year in wrestling when 2000 existed. THAT year was the year a lot of fans decided wrestling was a waste of time due to the product of each company. I see you've activated your trap card...

Okay. Let me rephrase myself.
WWF in 2000 wasn't bad. I just wasn't around as much for it.
I'm referring to WCW in 2000, which was so bad I gave up wrestling for a few years.

overall this year has been lame for main roster wwe stuff, but Mania was dope and there's been some other bright spots

This has just been a lifeless year for me. There've probably been worse, but it is one where outside of some stray things there's just been nothing I've really latched onto.
And honestly right now, while I've been wanting them to just get giving Reigns the title out of the way and see how he can do for awhile now, now that they've actually done it my interest in all things WWE has suddenly completely bottomed out even in terms of even wanting to talk about it. Only reason I even saw this thread is because the WWE board comes up first in my address bar so it's kind of where I default to coming to the forum.

At least it's not 1993 where you get one hour taped shows with Rob Bartlett on commentary and Friar Ferguson main events. You know, I'm honestly at the point where I'd gladly take this over what we're getting now. '93 was garbage, but it was entertaining garbage due to how bad it was. It was the "Troll 2" era. Current WWE is just a garbage pile that's overproduced and a roster that's full of the most uncharismatic, boring people on the planet.

In 2009 there still was an independent alternative to WWE (TNA) while today there's only NXT as a watchable regular wrestling show on TV.

It was a year of ups and downs The Ups: [...] -Sting in a WWE ring That's NOT an up. He was jobbed out to Mr.Insecurity on WM and then put in a title match later. He should have never gone to WWE.

Raw sucked in 2009, but we had Smackdown and occasionally ECW to cheer us up.
Raw sucked in 2015, but we had NXT to cheer us up.
I'd say they're about equal, but if we're going by each year's Wrestlemania, 31 kicks the shit out of 25 so I'd say 2015 was better.

2015 was a pretty good year. The in-ring quality has been great and the storylines have been ok.
2015 was not even close to the worst year in wrestling.

Wrestling in 2015 was terrific. Booking on the main roster was horrible. Booking on NXT was consistently stand-up-and-cheer material.
