I raged about Lesnar/Ambrose. I also wanted to attack Lesnar through my tv screen, but in the 'you f***-knuckle, that could have been a brilliant match BUT YOU RUIN EVERYTHING' kind of way. I should have been angrier about this since the build was really good, but given Lesnar's track record I wasn't expecting much. Had this been ten years ago, the match would have been properly brutal. (yes I know neither were with the company at that point)

When I found out that TNA had screwed over Jesse Sorensen and his family after making such a big show of taking care of him after his injury. I had hoped they would have learned from being sued by Daffney and losing, but no, so I was done with them while Dixie Carter was involved.

The build to it was great, and I got suckered into hoping that for once Brock wasn't going to put a bullet in something. Disappointed hope is a killer.

Montreal Screwjob. Bret got screwed and it soured WWE for me. The only thing I was interested in was the Undertaker and Kane storyline.

A bunch of the big Cena wins at Mania, none of them stick out in any particular way but I always felt bitter and angry after I watched them. One of the big reasons why I just stopped watching WWE all together Cena killing Bray dead should be #1. Cena was long in a place he could absorb big losses and wouldn’t hurt him one iota. A Bray win there could have made a huge difference.

Not all the time.
The Austin heel turn legit pissed me off. It's still one of the dumbest moves in wrestling history.
There are others that piss me off and they mostly belong to or involve Triple HGH.
The turn itself at Wrestlemania might have been a mistake and could have worked as a slower burn - it did give us guitar playing, Angle beating, white knee brace wearing, Tazz berating, paranoid Stone Cold which was refreshing and also awesome. Not to me, he wasn't. His 'funny' segments annoyed me tremendously.

Shane Douglas shaking Pitbull #1 around by the protective halo. That's probably the only time I wished I could punch a guy through the TV screen.

Benoit would be up there, but it was tempered by how upset the community was and all that.
For me, it might be TNA's having Dinero trying to procure dogs for dog fighting. It added NOTHING to the angle with Samoa Joe, it wasn't funny, it wasn't cute, it was skeezy and flat out racist. Maybe it was supposed to get them publicity, but like the MVP promo years later, it got ignored, anyway, so it didn't even do that much.

Fingerpoke of doom. I felt that WCW deserved everything they got after that. It was complete Groundhog Day in wrestling.
Close 2nd place- Heyman introducing Stephanie as the “owner” of ECW in the invasion as they managed to go from “this is awesome” to “wut da hale” in a matter of minutes.

Probably that sketch about JR's colonoscopy with Vince as Dr. Heiney. F***ing. Furious. I stopped watching Raw for a while after that. I was furious with that as well . I was also equally furious with this incident: m.youtube.com/watch?v=xYlbLZ7ZgX0Yup! Knew what it was before I even clicked it. The absolutely stupid thing about that little stunt was the WWE had bashed the Oklahoma character several times over the years, but then the Chairman and CEO proceeds to do something even worse. They've always treated JR like crap, though, and he never speaks out against them for any of it.

Roman Reigns beating Daniel Bryan at Fastlane was when I became truly convinced the WWE not only doesn't care for about the fans' opinions, but actively attempts to punish them.

I don't think I've ever gotten genuinely angry while watching wrestling. I've been upset, i.e. sad, plenty of times though.
Christian losing the title to Orton 2 days after winning it really got me bad. Not necessarily because I'm a big Christian fan, I like him well enough, but I felt like that took a great emotional moment, which WWE does not get many of those anymore, and made it totally meaningless. I totally get what WWE was intending to go for with Christian soon turning heel, but there is still a way to get to that without taking away that moment.
Most recently, the main event of Survivor Series. To me, that match perfectly captured modern day WWE booking. Give the new generation some modest shine, then make sure you hammer home that the REAL stars are the guys that have been around 15 years that the fans are now rejecting. That match made me quit watching WWE for the rest of the year. I've never been driven away from WWE that badly before.
Another big one for me was Wrestlemania 31, just the whole show. Wrestlemania 30 to me was a great show that really felt like a potential paradigm shift in WWE. Daniel Bryan's story culminated there. The Shield destroyed Kane and the Outlaws. Cesaro picked up Big Show and dumped him over the ropes to win the battle royal. Undertaker's streak ended. It felt like the New stars were about to usurp the Old stars. Fast forward a year to the following Mania, Cena beats Rusev, Taker beats Bray, Orton beats Seth, Big Show wins the battle royal. It felt like everything that was set up the year prior was washed away.
After thinking about this, I have to take back my first sentence. I have been really angry before. Both in 2014 funny enough. Cena destroying the Wyatt Family on Raw, just making them look like clowns to, I guess, give him his heat back after the match with Lesnar at Summerslam. That was my breaking point with Cena.
Also, just a few weeks later, Rollins vs Reigns was set for Night of Champions, then on the Raw before the show, they do the full Rollins vs Reigns match complete with a clean finish. And this was a marque match, so they give it away 6 days before it's going to happen again. Now, I know the match didn't happen because Reigns had his surgery, but I don't recall that being something that was already set up. If I recall right, that was a sudden emergency situation. Otherwise, I doubt Reigns would have won, or they'd have done some sort of Authority attack on Reigns to put him out. That made me refuse flat out to not watch that show. I still haven't to this day.

Totally skipping reading posts in this thread and just immediately responding. Reigns being #30 and winning. Im not a huge WWE guy anymore, but I think it speaks volumes that even I was pissed about it. That youtube compilation of dejected fan responses was the perfect epitome of how Vince offically crossed into "senile" amongst the fan base. You must have been angry two separate occasions, two years apart, because they didn't happen the same year. He won 2015, was #30 in 2017.

The mishandling of the Nexus. It had a chance to, if not bring back lapsed fans, at least reinvigorate my interest in the product. Cena single-handedly goes on to make them all look like losers.
Along those lines, Tiegate. Sponsors and/or Linda's Senate run nearly kills the career of the most popular new wrestler and the star of the new hot stable.
