10 Stupidest Decisions By WWE In 2004
Major departures, ill-judged face turns and the dreaded 'Diss the Diva'...
There's not a year goes by that WWE doesn't make some stupid decisions. That's not even a major criticism - after all, there is so much going on in WWE, they produce so much content and they're such an unusual brand of entertainment that Vince McMahon and co. are bound to slip up every once and a while. Nobody bats a thousand, and no matter how many good decisions are made, there will always be one or two bad ones to follow and remind us that, yes, WWE are not quite as infallible as they'd like us to think they are. The year 2004 was no different, as we saw the usual mix of inspired genius and downright idiocy. An odd year for the company, 2004 saw WWE reward hardworking but undersized veterans Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit by making them their brands' World Champions. Fans applauded. They then followed that up by introducing the likes of the mentally challenged Eugene and pushing the completely useless Heidenreich and other jacked-up no-hopers. Fans shook their heads. And so the year went on, with major events transpiring on-screen while things continued to move and shake backstage, too. WWE had plenty decisions to make in 2004, and they didn't always opt for the right one. Oftentimes the ones they chose were short-sighted, knee-jerk and downright stupid.
