I was also not exactly happy when they decided to make Cena a submission specialist, and to prove it, they had him tap out Benoit and someone else, I can't remember exactly who but they were a submission specialist, to prove what a badass move it was, even though it looks terrible.

Bulldog losing to Michaels in a match dedicated to his dying sister because he was caught between Bret and Shawn's pissing match never fails to annoy me.
TNA wasting Elijah Burke is a close second.

Daniel Bryan not being in the 2014 Rumble.
The tragically bad booking in the 2015 Rumble.
Kelly Kelly returning in the Womens Rumble.
I have a love hate relationship with the Royal Rumble.

As far as real life angry, Benoit.
As far as pissed at a storyline. This year's Survivor Series. Have some of the best talent in WWE history on a team only to have Shane as the last man standing. Tired of the McMahon family feud. That was the final nail in the coffin to me being a big WWE fan (after many years). Haven't watched reguarly since then and have migrated to (and am very much enjoying) New Japan. Cancelled WWE network that day and subscribed to NJPW World.
Haven't been able to get into WWE since then. In fairness I did enjoy the Rumble, just didn't really care about it all that much.

Yup! 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. You also have to remember that Oklahoma technically was born in the WWF. Remember that Tiger Ali Singh segment before Mania 15?

Singh did one of his low rent Ted DiBiase skits, this time he would pay a "fan" to do an imitation of Jim Ross. Said "fan" was Ed Ferrara who basically did Oklahoma before getting destroyed by Dr. Death.

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. How did I forget that one? I probably blocked it out and drank it away. That's number one for me. It never bugged me, probably because it's the only way it'd make any sense. If it was just Heyman leading them; how? The company was bought out because he didn't have the money. So he has the money, then. Then why would he close shop? If it was just a stable and stable alone that he managed, that'd be something, but they wouldn't be ECW, then. He sold that name.

Are you thinking of Sabu? Though I guess I couldn't rule out someone like Regal, I just remember Sabu was someone people were rankled about Cena tapping out with the STF. (It's still probably less silly than Erik Watts putting it on Arn in front of a gas station and someone calling the cops, but that's a really low bar.)

It might have been, I was thinking it was Angle or Tazz, but Tazz was pretty much done as a wrestler at that time, and I couldn't find anything on him tapping out Angle. It probably was Sabu, because the idea of a guy who has been through absoulute wars, being put through tables and barbed wire tapping out to the STFU like it was the most painful thing ever probably would have stuck in my craw.

Buff Bagwell turning heel every other week on Rick Steiner when the fans wanted to cheer for him after his neck injury in 1998.

This will sound really dumb, but anytime I turned on TBS at 6:05 on Saturday night and a Braves game was on. THAT’S WHEN WRESTLING IS SUPPOSED TO BE ON, DAMMIT!
That always made me irate.

Punk's Heel turn in 2012 because it made 0 sense and the entire thing was silly to watch. The man was going so far out of his way to get booed and for fans to still cheer was just cringeworthy because WWE was trying so hard to get him booed, that it made Rock and Cena look like goons.
Raw 25 was just brutal and it made me not watch the Rumble.

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. The build to Summerslam 2010 was so perfect, too - but you could almost hear the Popeye theme queue up near the end of the match...... also angering me was Cena being fired for a hot minute, then rarely wearing the Nexus shirt when he worked for them.......

Raw 25 was just brutal and it made me not watch the Rumble. This. CM Punk...arguably the most popular babyface in the company and they needlessly turn him heel in the middle of his huge championship reign. Now, if I wasn't really a fan of the guy, it would just be a dumb thing going on to me and that would be fine...but Punk was my number one guy, so it made watching WWE an awful experience at the time. There was seriously no good reason to turn him heel. Not one. All just to be collateral in Twice In A Lifetime...
