10 Times WWE Stupidly Tried To Plug Gaps
1. The Reign Of Terror
Post-Attitude Era puberty hit WWE not like teenage dream but a living nightmare.
The vim and vigor of Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock had subsided in sync with their own exits. Their WrestleMania X-Seven proved to be the apex of the beloved spell, with the company at large struggling with a damaging identity crisis for nearly a decade in the aftermath. Suddenly short of nearly all the stars that helped make so many memories, the company had no choice but to listen to Triple H's primary push suggestion - himself.
'The Game' hadn't been 'The Game' outside of a scintillating 18-month run that ended not that long after the aforementioned 2001 'Show Of Shows', nor was keen to put over the various new talents in desperate need of a star to give them the rub. Hunter gleefully stood in for all the stars as Brock Lesnar and a host of WCW late arrivals came and went over a tumultuous two year spell, humbling virtually all of them until John Cena and Batista gave him no option but to finally take a step back.
