 My Top Moments In Pro Wrestling That Made Me Question My Life Choices.

Intro.

You know when you get those moments in life that leave you thinking what the hell am I doing, whether it's in your job, family, or relationship life, we've all been there, and the thing that gives me excitement thrills Pro Wrestling is no different, so this is a list about those moments that made me want to rage quit being a fan of my favourite past time.

5. WWE In 2019.

I put 2019 up against 1994, and 1995, when it came down to public perception for the company. Ticket sales. DVD sales, and TV viewership were all down, and the creative decisions were mind bending. From the build to Mania 35 not living up to standard. Brock Lesnar getting shoved down fans throats, to the decay in Vince Mcmahons  direction starting to take shape, yeah this year was one to forget.

4. Ric Flair Is All Elite.

And to think all of this came after Tony Khan had a bitter X war with a fan, from comments made about Mcmahon, to the debut of Ric Flair, a man who has a shopping list of controversies against his name, this led me to want to bang my head against a brick wall, and think that someone should put Tony Khan on the naughty step, and take his phone priviledges away.

3. The Authority.

Ok. At first I liked what WWE had created here, but as time went on, this storyline dragged on, and on, and on, and by the time October 2014 rolled around, this whole storyline just felt like backwards booking being rehashed again, and, again, and again. Yes this did showcase the emmergence of Seth Rollins as a corporate champion, but on the other hand it also gave us corporate Kane, and no one asked for that monstrcity, no one.

2. Try Some Roman Reigns You'll Like Him ( Honestly ).

Back in the dauldron days of 2015-2016, WWE were going all in on Roman Reigns, at the behest of what the fans wanted. The 2015 Royal Rumble was a clear look at this divide. Roman was the chosen Golden child, and the fans weren't eating what he was creating. The times were changing as the network era saw a mass of fans rage quit the company as a result of this. Daniel Bryan getting ignored was the final straw for some, but to me it was the inconsistncies with the storytelling that had me thinking. Why am I watching this?

1. Year 2000 WCW.

Were do I begin with this company. From Hulk Hogans infamous exit. Bad creative, causing a consistant stream of fans getting pissed off, and leaving the company, to the overall bad running of the businesss, that saw the company close it's doors on the 26th of March 2001. Do I miss WCW? Well if i'm honest, no.
