The Damned Weddings They Show
WHY DO WE DO THIS? Weddings have consistently been the most wrestlecrappy things to ever happen in wrestling. Everything to the sets, to the characters involved (minister, priest etc) to the predictable mayhem right after the words "Does anyone have any objections?" are uttered. But the truly shameful thing about this is that WWE wedding segments have been the highest rated segments on the shows! Why are we attracted to the train wreck of wrestler matrimony! It's garbage!!!

Kerwin White Gimmick
The Guerrero name goes back many decades with a very rich history in professional wrestling. So creative decided to take a 3rd Generation member of the Guerrero family and repackage him into something beyond stupid. When Chavo Guerrero was traded to RAW, he was taken away from the Cruiserweight division, which he had dominated for quite some time. Over on RAW, Chavo was transformed into "Kerwin White" after denouncing his latin heritage and proclaiming "If it's not white, it's not right!" Kerwin Whit would travel to the ring on a golf cart and dressed and acted like the stereotypical white person. When Eddie Guerrero tragically passed away, the Kerwin White disaster was thankfully dropped.

The Exploitation of Eddie Guerrero
When Eddie Guerrero tragically passed away in November, the wrestling world was shocked and numbed by the loss. They did two Eddie Guerrero Tribute shows for RAW & SD! and resumed business as usual. Never one to let anything slip by without the proper exploitation, Vince McMahon made Rey Mysterio drive Eddie's low-rider down to the ring for a match. An unrelated storyline took place after the match between Randy Orton and The Undertaker -- Orton put Taker in the backseat of the vehicle and backed it up into the SD! set and it exploded and burned in flames. This sent immediate shockwaves through the WWE as it was a blatant exploitation of Eddie Guerrero's death. Shame on WWE.

The Vince McMahon Vs God Storyline
This storyline is just so over-the-top ridiculous that I feel stupid just writing about it. I feel even more cursed that I had to endure it on my Television every Monday night. It all started when Shawn Michaels stuck up for Bret Hart and started his feud with Vince McMahon. McMahon had to incorporate Michaels' faith into the storyline so every week the religious overtones got thrown into the mix. This resulted in a match between Vince & Shane McMahon taking on Shawn Michaels and......... yup, GOD! From there Vince continued with the religious stuff, which was not only terribly offensive but extremely unentertaining from a fans perspective. It often had nothing to with wrestling whatsoever, except to try to get his desperate company a little mainstream exposure. It didn't work.


WWECW on Sci-Fi
When WWE decided to produce the first ECW One Night Stand, wrestling fans accross the world were "extremely" excited with the final product that was presented on Pay Per View. Deep down inside, we knew that it was the one and only time ECW would truly be represented in its original form. The second installment of ECW One Night Stand was a lot less inspiring, and was the catalyst for the ressurection of ECW via a 1-hour television show on the Sci-Fi network. When the show debuted, fans were horrified by the reality that original ECW wrestlers would be there to put over some of WWE's creations. New stars were being created at the expense of ECW's cult reputation; Such as C.M. Punk, Kevin Thorn, Test, Mike Knox, and an exhibitionist named Kelly Kelly.

Kelly Kelly
Barbie Blank was discovered when Vice President of WWE Talent Relations Johnny Ace was leafing through a Venus Swimwear catalogue and somehow concluded that she would be a good addition to the WWE. This is how WWE scouts for talent these days, never mind having years of training and experience paying your dues on the independent circuit, you just gotta be a swimsuit model. So when Johnny Ace got off the crapper he immediately called up Barbie Blanks and offered her a job with WWE as an exhibitionist on their new ECW show on Sci-Fi. WWE actually thought the "Extreme" in ECW actually meant slutty girls stripping and teasing fans. That never happened in ECW -- okay maybe once. Anyway Kelly showed up on the very first ECW show and performed her strip tease. She must have been really nervous because she screwed everything up and had trouble getting her own bra off. Fans absolutely hated Kelly, and hated the gimmick even more. The strip teases continued each week until it turned into one big storyline to get Mike Knox over as a heel by interrupting just before the nudity.

The Big Show in ECW
Eventually the whole ECW project turned into one big attempt to get one wrestler over, The Big Show. He defeated Rob Van Dam (who was suspended for getting busted with marijuana) for the ECW World title and suddenly the show began revolving around him with storylines that had nothin to do with ECW. He kept challenging outside wrestlers from RAW and Smackdown! to come to ECW to challenge for the ECW World title. How was this supposed to help the ECW product? The Big Show had main event matches on Sci-Fi with Ric Flair, The Undertaker, Kane, and Batista. Then he started beating Sabu every week. The Big Show was quick to brag that he was the first person to ever win the WCW, WWE and ECW World Heavyweight titles -- proving once and for all that titles in wrestling are worthless.

Extreme Expose'
Kelly Kelly, Layla El, and Brooke Adams stunk up the ECW ring with their dancing on a weekly basis. These three "Divas" are about as useless as milk at a gay bar. Layla El is a professional dancer but when she's dancing next to two uncoordinated bafoons it only makes her look as bad as the other two. While ECW wrestlers were getting released seemingly on a weekly basis, or sitting backstage braiding their leg hairs, this trio of skin and bones wasted everybodys time with poorly coreographed performances in the ring. The performances got such negative reactions that they completely turned off the crowd mics and piped in loud music over the TV screen. Perhaps the only thing worse is that they think fans want this junk.

Candice Michelle as Women's Champion
The terribly untalented plastic barbie doll Candice Michelle started out scoring numerous victories over trained athletic women wrestlers like Victoria and WWE Women's Champion Melina Perez. I didn't have much of a problem with her winning matches once in a while, but the thing that DID offend me was when she defeated Melina Perez at WWE Vengeance 2007 for the WWE Women's Championship. Not since Stephanie McMahon held the WWE Women's title has their been a less deserving champions. Seriously, raise your hand if you think Candice's reign as champion should end AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Vince McMahon + Emotional Wreck + Limousine Explosion = $hitty Programming
Two weeks after he lost the ECW World championship against Bobby Lashley at One Night Stand, Vince became a psychopath. He made Torrie Wilson have a match against Carlito, put WWE champion John Cena in a triple threat match with two monster opponents (The Great Khali and Umaga), and even made the Hardy Boyz (who were in a ladder match the night before) lose the World Tag Team titles to Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch. He suspended Ashley Massaro, put IC champion Santino Marella in a match for his championship, made Ric Flair be destroyed by Randy Orton, talk really crazy to Vickie Guerrero, Teddy Long and Kristal Marshall and then put Matt Hardy in a handicap match against WWE Tag Team champions Deuce & Domino. But then the next week on RAW, it was the night the draft happened and Vince also made it "Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night" then later on before the show ended his limo blew up and he is supposed to be "dead." Next the FBI was brought it to investigate who killed him, which was a complete waste of time on RAW, SmackDown! and ECW programming.

Stephanie + Kayfabe Pregnancy = $hitty Ratings
Triple H had just made his big return to the WWF in 2002. Fans quickly realized Triple H had put on some extra muscle and this slowed him down in the ring and he wasn't quite so entertaining.. Writers scrambled to keep Triple H in the spotlight so the created some tention between HHH and his wife, Stephanie.. Steph, feeling she was losing her meal ticket, made up a lie that she was pregnant! This turned the normally intense Triple H into a goofy idiot.. Of course we all know that this led to the divorce, and Triple H's monster face run that was squashed by a poorly timed heel turn later in the year.

Triple H Awarded the World Title in 2002 After Lesnar brings the WWE Title to Smackdown:
With titles dropping left and right, holding a championship began to mean a little more.. They axed the European & Hardcore title after losing the Undisputed title to Smackdown!.. So in order to even out the odds, RAW General Manager decided to create its own world title, bringing back the old WCW title belt.. Not only does it confuse the situation with two world champions, but they decided to just give it to Triple H (who was dating the boss' daughter, they weren't married yet) without having to earn it.. How difficult would it be to host a tournament and create a little prestege for the world title.

Bill Goldberg's WWE Run
Anybody that has a shred of respect for the Wrestling business left in them knows what Bill Goldberg means to Wrestling in the long run. Yeah the guy may look like a million bucks, but he sure ain't worth the couple million they're probably paying him.. This piece of trash needs a two year stint in "titan training" jobbing to the Disciples of Synn in Ohio Valley Wrestling.. Don't they remember the ho-bags they hired in 2002? Scott Hall (where is he?), Kevin Nash (what have you done for me lately?) and Hulk Hogan (the exception to every rule).. Forget for a moment all the obvious in-ring issues involved with this idiot, then realize the mayhem he will create backstage.. A locker room will never react positively to a new guy walking it and getting paid more money for doing less work. The one good thing about Bill Goldberg having a limited schedule is that it lowers the chances of him injuring a LEGITIMATE worker who actually cares about his job.. Do you think Billy does it for the fans? No, little Billy does it to line his big wallet.. And little Billy Goldberg is a BIG PIECE OF CRAP!

WWE's jobification of Lance Storm in 2003
It all started at a RAW that I personally attended in Halifax, Nova Scotia on May 5, 2003. Lance Storm came out proudly waving his Canadian Flag, while announcers tried to pass it off as "sucking up" as opposed to "patriotism" as they call it when Undertaker does it.. Lance Storm was booked to get squashed by Booker T that night.. Then Lance Storm was written into a boring Goldberg angle, where he supposedly tried to run Goldberg down with a car, but it wasn't even his idea! So Lance Storm got squashed by Goldberg and then cowardly ratted on the true cultrit, Chris Jericho.. Since then Lance Storm has jobbed to Scott Stiener on HEAT, and Test on RAW.. Lance Storm is one of the top 5 workers on the payroll! How could he get over? Dawn Marie ain't doing anything right now, is she? I was shocked to tune in to RAW and see one of my favorite wrestlers completely crap ON by WWE writers and brainless fans.. Lance Storm came out on RAW against developmental talent Lance Cade, but instead of putting on a wrestling clinic for the kindergarden fans in attendance, RAW GM Steve Austin came out to the stage and encouraged the crowd to chant "BORING! BORING!" towards Lance Storm.. How is this productive? You're encouraging the fans to disrespect your talent like that? And they know that the fans will always catch on to anything the almighty Stone Cold says (WHAT?) and soon you will see all the technical wrestlers getting BORING chants at WWE events.. That has to be the most insulting thing for a wrestler!

Sable Returning in 2003
Sable made her return to the WWE in 2003 and from the day Sable walked back into the WWE spotlight, the writers have been cleverly making her look like a complete floozy.. This woman SUED the WWF for 10 million dollars in a sexual harassment lawsuit a few years back! She hasn't wrestled yet, all her storylines revolve around her being a SLUT! This makes her a complete hiprocrite; She has kissed Torrie, shown her breasts to Torrie, flashed Mr. America in front of a live crowd, let Zack Gowan touch her boob, straddled Vince McMahon on a desk, what the hell am I watching??? I'm sure Vince McMahon locks himself in his office at night and laughs his ass off, reveling in his successful manipulation of this brainless piece of meat.. How many men can say they were sued for sexual harassment, and then paid his acusser money to molest him on camera in front of millions of HIS fans.. Who looks bad here? Rena Mero wake up and get a CLUE! You just divorced the only person in your life with a BRAIN (Marc Mero)! But if you're happy contributing to demoralization of America, then buy yourself another diamond necklace and pray that the degenerates you're helping to create don't rape and burglarize your skanky ass!

Drink A Beer or I'll Hurt You
Nobody ever accused Vince McMahon of being a good influence! It's the subtle things is life that influence the youth of the world. Today's "youth" are nailed with "subtleties" every single day of their lives, and for those of which who tune into WWE programming, I pray for you! On an edition of RAW in October 2003, in an attempt to get Stone Cold over as a crazy lunitic drunk with power, he gave Stacy Keibler a vicious stunner after she said "no" to sharing beer with him.. What a wonderful messege to send to the youngsters, if you don't drink this, I'm gonna hurt you, cause you're not cool with me!

John Cena and the LONG @$$ Title Runs!

I have to tell you I was once a fan, now year [whatever it is] he gets annoying. Holding the title for so long, it bores. With the 4 move set and the gimmick of Superman. I'm to the point where I won't watch. It bores me to death! I'd rather sit through 6 episodes of Barney with my neice than watch the title run continue [and you have to say that is preeeeeeettttttyyyyyyyy sad]. Anybody DIFFERENT as champion for once! Oh please!


Skanky Whorebags Trying to Wrestle

pffft...we have your set of playboy whores: Candice,Ashley,Torrie and we have your wannabe dancers: Brooke,Leyla[who can dance I guess says ^^Mickie] and Kelly Kelly...the worst of them all. All the filth, trashy garbage soiling today's kids minds. I mean Candice as champ? You have to be kidding me! She had about as much wrestling talent as a 5 yr old! I mean, it's annoying to have to sit through the endless matches of filth. What ever happened to REAL talented women! Seems all they do now is pick them off the street! Beth, Mickie,Melina...they maybe the only ones that can wrestle! It is sicking!


Diva Search...More Like Skank Search
What exactly is the point of the diva search? Huh? I saw the application in another one of those wrestling sites...it stated they did NOT need ANY WRESTLING TRAINING AT ALL! Gee. I mean when you think of wrestling you think of fighting right? The water fights, the bras and painties matches, all worthless things! Seems more and more these days they hire for looks more than for the fighting ability seeing that little to this day can wrestle.


WWE PPV'S
PPV's most of us pay to see. To see something great and different from an ordinary show. Instead we get the same old stuff we would see any other day. So why should we? The PPV'S in my opinion have been going down hill in value. Sooner or later fans will stop and realize it too.


The FANS!

They buy into the crap. Ordering the PPV'S, supporting them. As if nothing is wrong. Now there is nothing wrong with a big fan. I was one but ever since the WWE went down hill [injuries, ppv value decrease, crappy storylines and fueds] I just stopped watching. TNA and UFC have become my favorites. And until the WWE does something...I will NOT watch

Found this and added some of my own =] Feel free to add if you want also

True enough. I don't agree with the whole SCSA thing. That was funny. I don't drink btw.
tnalockdownfan
I agree about EVERYTHING!

I mean, 1st of all, I was NEVER a WWE Fan, but I AM a fan of REAL Talented People.

Guys like Bret Hart, Randy Savage, Stone Cold and even Women like Madusa.

I'm also a fan of OTHER talented guys like Shelton Benjamin and women like Trish Stratus, Lita, Ivory, Molly Holly, Gail Kim, Nidia, Jazz and even Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson (WCW Alumni), and also a TRUE FAN of Victoria, Mickie James, Jillian Hall, Melina Perez and even Beth Phoenix.

But I am a FAN of the NWA and WCW, but I also like some of the old days of ECW, you know, the days of RVD, Jazz, Lita, Tommy Dreamer, and even The Dudleys and Dawn Marie.

But I, too am a fan of TNA as well as the Independent Companies and even the NWA as well as UFC.

But, ever since the departures of Stone Cold, The Rock, Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, RVD and many others and ever since the departures of Trish Stratus, Lita, Stacy Keibler, Molly Holly, Ivory, Terri and ever since WWE was STUPID for firing Jackie Moore, Gail Kim, Nidia, Jazz, Ivory, Christy Hemme and even Trinity and Ariel and especially FIRING Dawn Marie for being PREGNANT, the WWE has gotten WORSE!

I mean, Stone Cold is right, the WWE NEEDS to let Superstars on the roster as well as the Divas STEP UP and let them be themselves.

It's no WONDER the WWE and especially RAW has gotten WORSE!

I mean RAW has some GREAT Talents like Jeff Hardy, Carlito and even Shelton Benjamin, and Divas like Mickie James, Jallian Hall, Melin and even Beth Phoenix, and even Lilian Garcia is a GREAT Singer.

and SD! on the other hand has TALENTED people like Rey Mysterio, Torrie Wilson even Victoria, and also, Teddy Long and Ron Simmons have been close friends since the NWA, WCW and even the WWE.

and as for ECW, the ONLY talent they have are CM Punk and Tommy Dreamer.

But the WWE has been TERRIBLE as of late, I mean you have Champions that don't even DESERVE the titles.

I mean your 4 World Champions are a JOKE!

John Cena-The WWE World Heavyweight Champion
The Great Khali-The SD! World Heavyweight Champion
Hornswaggle-The WWE World Crusierweight Champion (What the Heck?)
Candice Michelle-The WWE Women's World Champion (PATHETIC!)

and also, your WWE World Tag Team Champions on RAW are a JOKE and I'm talking about Cade & Murdoch and also, you got MVP as the WWE U.S. Heavyweight Champion and 1/2 of the SD! World Tag Team Champion, but thankfully you got guys like Jeff Hardy and CM Punk who have more DIGNITY than the champs that they got.

It's no WONDER alot of people either don't want to go to the WWE or doesn't watch the WWE.

I mean, guys like Bret Hart, Bruno Sammartino and even Lex Luger doesn't like what Vince McMahon is doing to his product.

and also, guys like Wildcat Chris Harris, Scott Steiner and even Road Warrior Animal are DISGUSTED with the WWE b/c they don't believe in Tag Team Wrestling.

and even women like Gail Kim and Ivory (who are close friends of Victoria) said that they don't like the Diva Search b/c it's an INSULT to women and even to the contestants.

and Gail even said that watching the WWE Women's Division (especially on RAW) is like watching soft-core porn.

and even Tammy and Madusa are disgusted with the WWE and Madusa said that she doesn't see herself going back to the WWE b/c of her fallout with Vince McMahon and who could blame her?

But she said 5 years ago in an interview that the Women's Division back in 2002 was great, but she said that as long as they KEEP the women w/NO TALENT out of the ring.

Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold are disgusted with the WWE and Larry Zbyszko even said that he doesn't watch the WWE nor would he donate one penny to the WWE as well.

and Goldberg said that he doesn't want to go back to the WWE b/c he doesn't want to put one penny in Vince's Pocket.

and also, WCW Legends like STING and even Kimberly Page said that they don't want to work for Vince McMahon and I don't blame them for it.

and let me just say this:

The WWE NEEDS TO GET THEIR ACTS TOGETHER, b/c if they don't then I'm afraid that Vince McMahon is not only going to lose ALOT of fans, but also alot of viewers and even a lot of wrestlers, ESPECIALLY the Divas, and next year, I'm predicting that ALL Wrestling Companies (TNA, ROH, The Indies and even UFC) are going to be GUNNING for Vince McMahon.

and also, WWE has delivered POOR PPV's ever since Wrestlemania 23, I mean 2005 they had some pretty good PPV's, but then last year they had TERRIBLE PPV's with the exception of perhaps SD!'s Judgment Day and Armageddon.

But WWE has had TOO MANY PPV's and plus ECW's December to Dismember was TERRIBLE, New Year's Revolution was PATHETIC and SD!'s No Way Out did POOR in the buyrates.

I'm glad that I don't buy WWE PPV's but I do see some of it on the internet.

and also, speaking of Dawn Marie, she is still in court with the WWE, b/c last year she filed a complaint against Vince McMahon and the WWE for wrongful termination, in other words, firing her b/c she got pregnant, and she still has a TNA Contract in her hand by TNA President Dixie Carter.

I HOPE and I PRAY that she WINS her case.

I'm tnalockdownfan, and that is my take on the whole WWE.
Expedition
To the original poster, if you're not going to watch WWE, why are you so bothered that you had to post your words in huge letters - ranting about stuff that happened years ago? It's like, if you don't like Honda, don't buy an Accord. If you don't like WWE, turn the freakin channel. Vince, Cena, Batista - no one in the company is holding you hostage. Like I said in an earlier post, the company made over $130 million as reported last quarter. The WWE isn't going anywhere. I'll keep watching.
tnalockdownfan
You're missing the point Expedition.

It's NOT about money, it's about pride, dignity, honor and respect.

I mean, look @ Bret Hart, he was a man with Integrity.

Why would you want to continue to watch WWE?

I mean, NO ONE really cares about John Cena, Candice Michelle or others.

I watch SD! b/c it reminds me of WCW, but RAW has just gotten TERRIBLE!

It's NOT about the money, I could CARELESS if it's about money.

I'd rather see MORE wrestling and LESS entertainment.

I was NEVER a WWE Fan, but I do like the talents that are on there.

I'd rather watch a wrestling match, rather than see Hornswaggle as Vince's Son and Divas doing all that Bra & Panties Match.

Oh, and one more thing:

I'd rather spend my money on TNA PPV's than WWE's, b/c for one, WWE PPV's are TOO Expensive, and #2, WWE PPV's are GARBAGE, if you don't believe me, then ask anybody they'll tell you, and #3, I like TNA b/c I LOVE WRESTLING, just like the NWA and WCW.
