10 Worst Summer Angles In WWE History

Aside from the build to WrestleMania, the most important part of the WWE calendar is the summer. Free of the need to organise a blockbusting 'Mania card, the creative team can take a few riskier decisions with their booking, often resulting in very original, inventive storylines. Unfortunately, sometimes this originality can come slightly too far out of left field, resulting in the sort of wacky, overly-convoluted angle that makes wrestling fans tear their hair out in frustration. In other instances, a single booking decision can ruin a once-promising angle, turning a promising summer of excitement into a few months of drawn-out torture. It's no surprise that summer angles have greater potential to go wrong, given their tendency to be slightly stranger than their 'Road To WrestleMania' counterparts. Everything from the Royal Rumble onwards is usually treat in an ultra-serious fashion, ensuring that 'Mania's main feuds are given a serious feel, fuelling the event's epic atmosphere. Summer angles, on the other hand, give Vince a chance to exercise his notorious sense of humour, and the bookers a chance to flex their creative muscles - often with disastrous consequences. Here are the worst ten summer storylines in WWE history, some ruined by a single misstep or poor booking decision, others doomed from the minute they were conceived.
