10 Dumbest Storylines In WWE History

10. Crashing A Funeral

In 1999, Big Show turned face having recently turned heel after another brief face run after his debut as a heel. The usual with the big man, basically.

As a babyface, he began a feud with dog killing menace The Big Boss Man over the untimely death of Big Show's father (pure kayfabe; Show’s father had actually passed away several years prior). To heat up the angle, the Big Boss Man threw good taste out the window and invaded the funeral, stealing the coffin via chain and driving off with a leather clad (hey, it was the '90s) Big Show, coffin-surfing in protest of the Boss Man’s bad behaviour.

Big Show would do battle with the odd assortment of Big Boss Man, Prince Albert, Clothed Mideon and Viscera at Survivor Series in a 4-on-1 elimination match. Show would soundly defeat them and move on to the main event of the night where he filled in for hit-and-run victim Stone Cold Steve Austin. Show bagged the WWF Championship in a triple threat match against The Rock and defending champ, Triple H as the crowd went mild.

A month later at Armageddon, Show defeated Boss Man in singles action to retain his WWF Championship and put an end to their bizarre dispute.

The feud was received badly by fans, workers and critics alike with AEW spokesper- I mean, wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer’s newsletter awarding it Worst Feud of the Year.

Show would turn heel again the next month to begin feuding with The Rock before another face turn to become an impressionist. Make of that what you will.
