Wrestling as a form of entertainment necessitates scripted storylines that are sometimes completely fabricated, and sometimes inspired by real-life events. When the former are used, theyre meant to forward a storyline between two or more wrestlers in a relatively simple way. When the latter are used, its often to help the promotion in question to jump onto a topical issue and gain more mainstream attention. Sometimes it works, but it can also bite the promotion back if theyre not careful. In WWEs case, theyve made several attempts to cash in on real-life events, either involving their own Superstars, or external events over which they have no control. These have been mostly for shock value or to get more people to pay attention to them, but in each of they made big mistakes. Furthermore, there have been some gimmicks and storylines constructed by WWE that have been so bad that they made the audiences wrestling uncomfortable. This article will highlight ten storylines, some based on real-life events and some completely fabricated by WWE that made those watching them uncomfortable. Some of them were due to the subtext of the storyline being inappropriate or unnecessary, while in other cases the storylines were just so stupid, immature or otherwise outlandish that people watching couldnt help but shake their heads. WWE has the potential to make both the best and worst storylines in professional wrestling. The ten discussed over the following pages could be lessons for what WWE should not do in the future when building new storylines.
