10 Terribly Booked WWE Title Situations This Year

Title situations that have left fans scratching their heads, wondering what in the blue hell just happened.

WWE.comWWE.comWhy was Daniel Bryan€™s WrestleMania XXX main event victory such a monumental moment? If you answered that it was because of the two titles he hoisted above his head in celebration, then you understand the significance of titles in general, and more importantly for wrestling, the importance of smart booking for titles. Wrestling championships are a storyline vehicle, providing a purpose for challengers (to become the best and win the title) and for the champs (to remain on the mountaintop). But while it might seem like a simple thing to book, when you€™re talking about sports entertainment, it can€™t be something as simple as pitting two wrestlers against each other. There needs to be an angle accompanying it. And it is in these angles and other circumstances that a titleholder can suffer, even if he or she holds onto their championship for a long time. If the angles during their victory, reign or defeat are booked badly, then it can be detrimental to how they are perceived as champions. This half-year alone, there have been a handful of title situations that have left fans scratching their heads, wondering what in the blue hell just happened. What are some of the worst-booked title situations so far in 2014? Let€™s find out.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
