Were officially halfway through 2015 and its been quite the eventful year for WWE. After one of the most lackluster builds in some time, WrestleMania 31 was an unquestioned commercial success, but even more importantly, a critical one for a company that was in desperate need of some goodwill. Daniel Bryan returned to a heros welcome and then was promptly shelved with yet another serious injury, while the Network continued to make waves as WWE tried to entice subscribers by adding a wealth of new original programming albeit questionable in its appeal - backed up by multiple offers of free months. When comparing this year to 2014, the companys momentum has trended in the opposite direction. The prior year began with a fan revolt that pushed Bryan into the main event of WrestleMania, giving us some incredible matches along the way. That, pitted with The Shield tearing down the house with The Wyatt Family and a reformed Evolution made for an exciting first half of the year, but WWE quickly squandered most of that by delivering a disappointing second half. This year has been the complete reversal of that, with the beginning months being uninspiring while things are kicking into high gear for the summer and beyond. This article will examine the opening six months of the year and pinpoint the worst decisions the company has made thus far. Read on for the truly head-scratching and devastatingly bad decisions of the first half of 2015.
