12 Worst WWE Storylines Of The PG Era

12. Embrace The Hate

If you were to sum up the PG Era of World Wrestling Entertainment in three words, you'd only need two; 'John Cena'.

The leader of the Cenation has been WWE's poster boy for a decade now, granting wishes, kissin' babies and hugging fat girls like there's no TV-14 tomorrow.

As you'll read throughout this article, Big Match John has also been involved in some of the worst stories in recent memory. One such example was his feud at the beginning of 2012 with Kane.

The Big Red Monster is no stranger to awful stories himself, but unfortunately the beef wasn't over who had been involved in the worst angles on WWE TV.

No, the demon Kane spent his time trying to get Cena to 'embrace the hate', to forgo the high road Cena took so often in favour of pure violence. Kane tried talking Cena into it, he tried beating Cena into it and, hell, he even tried paralysing Zack Ryder in order to bring about the change.

Ultimately, Kane was unsuccessful. Cena defeated him at Elimination Chamber in an Ambulance Match, and would go on to continue his career hate-free. Less than a year later, Kane was in anger management.
